Frame Wardrobe
Our approach
A production-focused laundry concept for film and television wardrobes, with continuity notes and individually labelled returns.
The Frame Wardrobe approach
The right piece, back with the right scene.
Production laundry relies on clear information. Scene numbers, duplicate garments and continuity instructions stay central to the enquiry.
Film Wardrobe Laundry
Keep wardrobe continuity in the record
A production wardrobe order needs references for scenes, performers and duplicate pieces.
Continuity reference
Use the production's agreed garment and scene identification.
Intentional finishes
Flag distressing, ageing and marks that should not be treated as ordinary stains.
Department handover
Agree counts and receipt checks with the wardrobe contact.
Before collection
The details that help us care.
A useful checklist for your film wardrobe laundry enquiry.
Labels and materials
Organise batches by production, performer and item count.
Condition and history
Mention existing damage and any previous treatment of your continuity garments.
Your preferred return
Prepare a documented return for storage or hire.

How the service conversation works
A useful laundry service begins with understanding the item and the way it will be used again. Clear descriptions, careful records and practical return arrangements give that conversation a consistent starting point. For Film Wardrobe Laundry, start with continuity garments.
Listen to the request
Describe the concern and what matters most about the return. An everyday wash, a business batch and an individual garment can need different levels of discussion.
Make the scope clear
Keep the item list, care preferences and proposed work together. Where the material or condition limits the options, those limits belong in the conversation before approval.
Close the loop
Review the returned items against the request. Keep relevant instructions for the next service and raise questions using the original reference.

Keep continuity with the garment
Keep wardrobe continuity in the record
Use production, character and scene references with the item list. Record intentional marks, ageing and duplicate garments so the wardrobe team can explain exactly which features must be preserved during assessment.

Plan the next use, not just the clean
Choose the situation closest to your Film Wardrobe Laundry request and use it to shape the conversation.
During the production
Keep continuity garments linked to the production references and next use date. The wardrobe or studio brief should identify intentional finishes and any details that must remain unchanged.
Between projects
Review background wardrobe before packing the collection away. Use the quieter period to record condition, separate incomplete sets and discuss an appropriate care scope ahead of the next booking.

Ready for the next use
Return pieces in the agreed continuity groups, with unresolved concerns visible on the record. Confirm location changes and receiving contacts before dispatching wardrobe back to a moving production.
Keep the reference with the return
Match the delivery or collected items to the original request before redistributing or storing them. Keep any separately handled pieces and unresolved questions visible on that record.
Continue the agreed care
Retain the applicable care labels and any item-specific return guidance. A future request should mention changes in condition or use rather than automatically repeating an earlier treatment.
