If you wish to indicate the both of you, it needs to be Van Dalfsens' Men's and Womens' Clothing, with the apostrophe after the 's'. That is certainly a plethora of apostrophes, however, and I submit to you that Van Dalfsen Men's and Women's Clothing (with no 's' or apostrophe), a more traditional form, might be preferable.

My question covers the proper use of the apostrophe. Which of the following two versions is the correct use of the apostrophe?
a) Prue and Antony's Wedding
b) Prue and Antonys' Wedding

A little late getting back to you, Rob, sorry. You're pretty much
on your own with extreme reductions such as that-- whatever makes it
most intelligible for the reader. I think I would transcribe it as 'S up?.
