Gown looks beautiful!

My gown looks gorgeous after being dry cleaned with Pratt Abbott! I was soo pleased with it. There was some rips in my dress that happened from my bustle and they were able to fix it all and make it look brand new again. Highly recommend!

Excellent and Responsive Customer Service

My daughter was married in Scarborough Maine and since she was driving from NYC where she purchased her dress we assumed it would be well packed and in good condition! Much to our dismay, we were mistaken. I called Pratt Abbott and they were amazing! Chris said of course we can help you and they fix. When we rss as n out of time to drive to South Portland they delivered promptly. I can't recommend them enough!!

Pratt and Abbott were exemplary professionals when preserving my daughter’s wedding gown. They went over the entire gown when I dropped it off so I was confident in leaving it with them. The follow up thank you note and gift card made them a blue ribbon company
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
