Orange Restoration Labs saved my dream dress. I purchased a very delicate vintage Christian Dior silk dress that desperately needed restoration for my wedding. The outcome was beyond my expectations — the dress was restored, mended, and photographed beautifully. Communication and professionalism were excellent and they treated my concerns and aesthetic considerations with the utmost regard.

The quality of restoration for my 80’s wedding gown was flawless. I would confidently trust them with precious or irreplaceable pieces and delicate fabrics. Ernst was always very friendly and accommodating, providing discounts for return customers. The pricing seemed fair and in line with the average. Thank you !

Sally knows what she is doing. Her home is welcoming, her attitude is confident, and her work speaks for itself. I entrusted her with fixing up my precious Grandma’s 60+ year old, hand-made, Italian wedding dress. The pictures attached show the before and after. And if it doesn’t get MORE insane, she took off all of the silk buttons while cleaning the dress and then sewed them all back on. I cannot wait for the day I walk down the aisle in this dress, and I cannot thank her enough.

I came to Sally with a request. Can you repair and restore a veil that is 180 years old? “Bring it over and we’ll take a look,” she said. Together we spent an hour or more looking through books and examining this family heirloom. Sally with her knowledge and skill took a grayish somewhat damaged textile and restored into its original beauty. When this was placed on my daughter’s head, the air seemed to escape the room. Sally, your knowledge, skill and extraordinary craftsmanship is something the wedding world must know about! I’m grateful to have met you.

Wow. I am absolutely blown away. I ended up needing to purchase a sample gown because of an issue with my original gown with only a month to go before my wedding. The sample was very dirty with yellow stains under the armpits, dirt marks along the bottom of the dress and stains/indentations from all the times girls were clipped into the back of the dress. I brought my sample gown to Ernest at Orange Restoration Lab a week before my wedding in Europe and they completely revitalized my dress and turned it around so quickly. I was in shock when I opened the garment bag. My dress looked brand new - you would NEVER know it was a sample and certainly didn't look like it had ever been tried on before. I am so grateful to this team who did such great work on my dress. I am home from my wedding and bringing my dress to Orange Restoration Labs straight away to clean and preserve!! Thank you so much Ernest and team - you guys are amazing. Highly highly recommend!!

I bought a sample sale dress for my wedding which needed a clean prior to the big day. Ernst did a wonderful job on my gown for my special day. He offered a personal consultation and did a detailed inspection of my dress. He did such a great job with the cleaning that I then came back to him for both my wedding dress and veil cleanings and preservations. Ernst was exceptional, very kind and thorough and made for a great overall experience. I trust him and his team and highly recommend them to handle your wedding gown needs!

I contacted Sally regarding restoration on my fathers WWII Army Jacket. I had donated it to the West Haven Veterans Museum. Then I noticed it had moth damage. She restored the damage and it looks beautiful. She is a pleasure to work with and very professional. The Jacket is 76 years old and I could not be more pleased with her quality of work. The Museum was very please with the repairs she did. Now, I know because of her expertise my fathers jacket will last many more years. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone in need of restoration. Thank you for your excellent work and kindness

I highly recommend this company! If you want your gown to last through time then this is the business. My gown was preserved over 30 years ago by Orange Restoration Labs and mostly stored under our stairs. My daughter is ready to wear it so we dragged it out. When we removed the outer box and I could see my dress through the window in the inner box I was shocked at how white and perfect the beading and fabric looked, but was dubious about the rest of it. I still had the original receipt attached to it which said not to open as they would restore it when ready. I thought no way they are still in business but a quick google search showed they in fact were, called, made an appt and went down. The gentleman owner could not have been nicer. My gown was in perfect condition when removed from the box with zero stains brought out by age and still as white as the day I wore it. They pressed and freshened it up and it’s ready to go. By contrast my friend married the same time had her dress cleaned and ‘preserved’ by a local cleaners and came out with stains brought out by age, beading and sequins yellowed etc. PLEASE use Orange Restoration.

Only sent my mum’s wedding gown here because I seen it on “The Knot” & it had such great reviews. However I had an overall poor experience. Such poor customer service, literally appalling. Had the audacity to charge more than the dress was worth, at a whopping $790+ for a “heavily soiled” gown (the only restoration I needed was to make the aged dress white again, no tears, rips, or major staining), but I obliged because I needed my mother’s wedding gown professionally cleaned. You’d expect exceptional quality and exquisite customer care for this price, but I was met with the opposite. I expressed many concerns over communication through email, which dwindled to no responses on their end. I called & was told “no emails were received”. I know how emails work & I indeed was contacting with the same email address that communication had been made through the entire time. I called wondering where my dress was. This is April 22nd at this point. I was told my dress would be here by the end of April. Regardless, the person gives me an unusual response. My dress has “been done & has been ready to ship out”… this was exactly what I was told. Okay perfect, not sure why it would still be hanging in their warehouse if it’s “been done”. Whatever, I’m just happy that my gown is finished. At this point, I was told it would be shipped out the following day (meaning April 23). This however, was a LIE. I texted the following Monday asking for tracking info because I found it suspicious that it never came over the weekend. I’m only an hour away from their location. I was given a number and lo and behold, it’s not an active tracking number meaning fedex does NOT have my package. I immediately contact them to address this and I’m met with “oh are you sure?” Instead of accepting ownership at this point, they insisted there must be some issue. The issue was they never brought FedEx my package at this point! The desk girl quite literally responded with “isn’t your wedding not until September?” What is the relevancy??? After this conversation is when she actually shipped my gown out. All attempts to speak to a manger have been disregarded. The dress is indeed clean, but I’m nowhere satisfied with the customer treatment. I was quite lax and communicated effectively, couldn’t imagine if I was a difficult customer/case how they would’ve treated me! What a horror show. Here I was taking I would be sending the gown back to be preserved + professionally cleaning my baptism gown 😂 I’ll be going to any local ma + pa shop now & I recommend the same to you haha
