Reliable cleaner for vintage in LA?

[Maudelynn]

Hello All!
I have a 1930s silk crepe evening dress, with a boullion collar, that needs to be cleaned. I was wondering if there were any suggestions
on cleaners that handle vintage things well?

Thanks!

The only cleaner I've heard good things about is French Hand Laundry in Pasadena. If you do a search on yelp for french hand laundry there should be other suggestions there too. I have never tried them myself, I usually steer clear of items that require great care, I'm a little too clumsy for them.

Yeah, French Laundry is the place to go. They do historic clothing and a lot of museum pieces.

I get nervous, too, but cannot stay away from the evening gowns

Thank you! I may ask them about dying a piece, as well
