Garment bag for wedding gown

poodle2010

I am about to go in and order my gown from David's Bridal and I know they are going to offer to sell me their garment bag for $10.  I read reviews online which said the quality of the bag was not good and in some instances it seemed like the bag was dry rotted, probably from sitting in a warehouse for a while. 

Any suggestions on where to buy a good quality garment bag that will fit a wedding gown?  I will not be traveling with my gown on a plane, so I don't need it to fold up or anything like that.  Just something that will protect it from getting dirty and will be reasonably likely not to tear with average use.  Thanks!

Posted by Disappointed [/QUOTE] We picked up my daughter's wedding gown from Davids yesterday and I purchased their $10 garmet bag. By the time we got it to car, the bag had torn in 2 places. I took the gown back inside and they gave me a new one. The bag is actually made of paper sort of like paper towel material.  It's not a fabric bag at all. DON'T GET IT!
