The top half of the wedding gown is lace and the bottom is silk. This wedding gown was hand made some time in the 1950's. You can see the mold around the neck and towards the bottom a little bit. If you click on the picture and zoom in, you can see there are little specs of mold all over this gown, especially on the silk. You can also see the prominent color change after we performed the restoration on this vintage wedding gown.
The mold is more visible on the back of this wedding gown, especially on the lower right portion of the lace. Again, on the back you can see how we were able to remove the yellowing that has occurred on the silk and lace of this vintage wedding dress.
The mold is most visible on the silk portion of the gown's underskirt. You can see that removing the mold did not do any damage to the weave of the silk satin.
This vintage wedding gown restoration was performed at Janet Davis Cleaners in Berkley, MI.

What a great success story!
Clothes that need to be dry cleaned are usually the more fancy, fashionable clothes. Now I get that you probably aren’t in to fashion since you’re a girl, it’s pretty hard to ignore a beautiful silk dress. I like this article and I find it very useful.
