Tattered tulle and a grass-stained hem? Toronto brides bring gowns from ever designer imaginable to Courtesy Gown Preservation for the white glove treatment.

Owner Gus Polyzois can identify and treat just about any stain, not to mention bring back luster to a family heirloom.

The backroom is a sea of silk, satin, organza and tulle. One by one, each dress is meticulously cleaned and boxed away, forever.

Or until a little girl decides to play dress-up.
