I once borrowed a very beautiful, very irreplaceable vintage dress from a co-worker for one of my first fancy fashion events a million years ago. I’d never worn something so special. It was like a dream.
Needless to say, the after-after-after party went into the wee hours and someone knocked a candle over onto said designer gown, dousing chiffon with melted wax. I almost died. And then someone told me two magical words that ended up saving my sanity: Madame Paulette.
Madame Paulette is the go-to dry cleaner and fashion restoration spot for everyone in the fashion industry in New York and now they’re celebrating their 50th anniversary. They can fix even the most un-fixable of disasters or bring historical pieces back to life.
To mark the occasion during the week of June 15th, they’re unveiling a new look at their flagship location as well as window displays of historical pieces (going all the way back to the late 1800s) that they’ve restored.
Here’s to another 50 years of saving beautiful clothing, and the careers of hard-partying editorial assistants across Manhattan.

Hey, not to be a downer, but Madame Paulette was hands down the worst dry cleaning experience I've ever had. I took a bag there, it was only canvas with a leather trim. And it was LITERALLY TWO MONTHS LATE. Also, they kept telling me that my bag would be ready on a certain day, and then I would show up and then it wouldn't be ready. That happened FOUR TIMES. Also, everyone was really rude. I'm sorry but I just really feel the need to share this.
