Vintage Garment Restoration

[Jordan Alexander]

I recently acquired two gorgeous 1950's dresses, one wedding and one bridesmaid or party type dress. Both dresses were not stored appropriately and have some severe staining and some textile damage. The wedding dress has some lace damage on the back as well as needing some buttons replaced.

Does anyone have a restoration service they can recommend? My local dry cleaner/tailors won't take them on. I am in the Dallas area, but can ship the dresses if needed.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Jordan, I would contact Myra Walker at UNT to see if she can recommend someone in the Dallas area.
I know several people who freelance. Do you want an estimate?
