I am a big fan of Bridge Street cleaners downtown. They cleaned and preserved my wedding dress and I was very happy with their work.

Bridge St Cleaners has been in business for many years yet they still provide the same high quality of dry cleaning they always have.I only take garments that have to be handled delicately to their establishment because although I would love to have all my cleaning done there, truth be told they are quite expensive . You certainly get what you pay for, even if it is pricey the work is excellent. I took a fully pleated skirt there and they hand pressed the pleats better than when I bought it.You wont be disappointed if you take your wedding dress there and the owner Victoria is a real sweetheart as well as her staff. They are located on Livingston St and Hoyt across from Macys.

Cleaning is a necessary, but not sufficient, step towards preservation. It needs to be properly wrapped and boxed (not hung) with acid free materials. Try madam Paulette they do museum quality work and work for museums like the Metropolitan and Fashion Institute of Technology. Probably not cheap though

I am not connected to them but was told about them by my wife who is a textile conservator.

And, why do people do this with their wedding dresses? i must not be romantic or something because I don't even know (or care) where my wedding dress is. I just don't see the point in preserving it! Do people preserve theirs thinking their daughter or someone will want to wear it one day?
