Has anyone had their dress repaired before preserving?

I would like to preserve my dress but would like a couple repairs done. There’s a whole in my train and loose lace from when someone stepped on it. I see companies that offer all the service but how do you know they even repaired it when they box it up? I imagine it would be hard to put together if you unbox it which defeats the purpose.


I know it’s unlikely but I would like to think I would still fit it for a vow renewal one day or if I ever have a daughter and she wants to wear it.

    I would call your seamstress where you got your alterations done.

    My dress had a small hole where someone ripped lace up on my dress as well as a few broken bustle hooks from people stepping on my train. I took my dress to my seamstress to be fixed before I got it cleaned at a drycleaner. The issues were so minor my seamstess was able to fix it on the spot and didn't even charge me! I did not get my dress preserved because I may take it out to wear every year on our anniversary. I would ask your seastress if they could fix it!

    Ok thanks! That seems like the best option. My aunt was my seamstress m, she used to do it full time in the Philippines lol so I’m afraid of bothering her with more work but I’ll find a seamstress either way!
