Since 2016, MyDressbox has helped thousands of brides restore, protect and preserve their wedding dresses. Our specialist bridal cleaning team handles everything from delicate lace and beading to long trains and designer gowns, with insured courier transport available throughout Newcastle and New South Wales.
Most dry cleaners handle many different garments. Wedding dresses are different. They often include delicate fabrics, long trains, lace, beading, sequins, glued details, makeup marks, fake tan, food and drink stains, and dirt through the hem.
MyDressbox focuses on wedding dress cleaning, boxing and aftercare. Our process is designed for bridal gowns rather than everyday garments, and our service is built for brides who want specialist care without needing to drive around Newcastle looking for a bridal cleaner.
Every wedding dress fabric behaves differently under cleaning — our bridal specialists match the method to the material.
Silk
We don't clean genuine silk gowns. Many dresses described as silk are actually synthetic (polyester or silk-look satin) and are fine to send — if you're not sure which yours is, message us on live chat before ordering. A handling fee applies if a genuine silk gown is sent without checking first.
Lace
Delicate threadwork and appliqué need gentle handling to avoid snags or loosened beading.
Tulle
Lightweight and prone to snagging — handled with extra care to avoid tears or pulled threads.
Organza
Crisp and easily creased — carefully steamed to restore structure without flattening the weave.
Chiffon
Sheer and delicate — cleaned with a gentle touch to avoid stretching or distorting the fabric.
Satin
Shows watermarks and stains easily — marks are treated carefully to avoid rings or sheen changes.

My dress was returned yesterday and to say that I am more than happy is an understatement! It arrived in a beautiful dress box and perfectly packaged, back in perfect state with every mark removed. When I sent it off for a clean my dress was heavily soiled with fake tan marks and the train was dirty from photos outside, so I am amazed that it looks so good now.

It can be a stressful thing sending your beloved wedding dress away for cleaning and restoring it to its former glory. But MyDressbox has sent it back in spick and span condition, wrapped up so neatly, and complete with a replaced fabric button that had fallen off. I'm very impressed with the quality of this service.

A few simple habits keep your gown looking its best for years after it comes back from us.
Keep it cool, dark and dry
Store away from direct sunlight, heat and damp areas to help prevent yellowing and mildew.
Skip long-term plastic covers
Plastic can trap moisture — our acid-free box is designed to let the fabric breathe.
Avoid hanging your gown long-term
The weight of the dress can stretch delicate fabric and seams over time — flat, boxed storage protects its shape.
Check in on it once a year
A quick yearly check lets you catch issues like moisture or pests before they affect the fabric.
