Designer, Vintage & Couture Gown Preservation

Reviews & Testimonials Below...

The perfect dress, the one you've fantasized about wearing since you were a little girl; and it's everything you envisioned-- layer upon layer of exquisite fabric in a sophisticated style that flatters your figure. On your wedding day, you'll walk down the aisle looking absolutely radiant. Considering that you've invested so much of your heart, time and finances in your wedding dress-- its to be expected that you want it to last forever.

A treasure of this significance should only be handled by experts in gown preservation; ensuring that a bride who wears it in the future-- your sister, niece, or daughter-- will look as beautiful in it as you did. As preservation specialists, we at Massanelli's Cleaners and Laundry, are trained in the art of textile conservation. Our work begins with a complete inspection and testing of your gown; because just as every bride is unique, so is every dress. We take measurements, analyze fabrics, dyes, and weaves, and note ornaments and their composition. These detailed descriptions determine which preservation techniques and cleaning methods are the most advantageous for your gown, so that fabrics retain their shape and do not discolor and embellishments-- beads, sequins, and other trimmings-- remain affixed.

After the cleaning and preservation processes, the most crucial step for your gown is packing it properly so you can store it for posterity. We fold your dress carefully to avoid damage caused by excessive creasing and use the finest archival materials available to support and protect your gown. At Massanelli's Cleaners and Laundry, we understand and appreciate the relationship you have with your wedding dress. Our highly respected preservation techniques ensure that your gown will always remain the dress of your dreams.

"The best decision I ever made!  I am so happy that I took my wedding gown to be preserved by the folks at Massanelli's. Not only were the employees honest and friendly, they were readily available to answer any and all questions I had along the way. I now have an heirloom to pass along to my stepdaughter."
