That said, if your special day is fast approaching, we’ll do everything possible to accommodate you. Please contact us right away at gl_team@galialahav.com.
Don’t worry, you have options! Upon request, certain stores can send sample gowns to another location. However, this is store-specific, so please reach out to gl_team@galialahav.com for assistance with your case.
Some items are available to ship immediately, while others may require a few weeks. For the most accurate details, please refer to the individual product page. If you need a rush order, contact us right away at gl_team@galialahav.com.
Your dress is highly delicate and can be damaged easily. If you don’t have a local professional you can trust, we suggest the following:
- Dip your dress in lukewarm water with a mild detergent like Woolite and Vanish Oxi White/Kalia (the one for colored laundry) or a dash of mild shampoo. No rubbing or swirling!
- Hang to dry naturally. Do not squeeze out excess water.
- When dry, gently use a professional steamer or iron.
- Once clean and dry, keep your dress in a fabric cover away from direct sunlight and even moonlight, especially silk.
If your dress is Couture or GALA and has a necklace or beaded embellishment, these must be removed before cleaning. Contact us and we’ll walk you through the princess.
If your dress is appliqued, beaded, embellished or has an illusion back, don’t pull, pin, hang it from a hanger, or heat it.
Please remember never to dry clean it! Your dress will thank you.
