storing a wedding dress?

I ended up getting a dress on sale almost 16 months before my wedding. How should I store it? Davids bridal said to hang it but online it says to lay it flat. Any advice?

  • If you can lay if flat in a breathable bag it's best. Maybe under a bed where it wont be bothered.

  • Laying it flat would be best because if it is a heavy dress it may stretch over the next 16 months.

    Make sure that it is in a fabric garmet bag and not a plastic one because you will want it to be able to breathe.

    Also, keep it somewhere dark so the fabric will not discolor.

  • I hung my dress by the hanging loops sewn in at the underarm in a breathable/fabric garment bag for almost 20 months.  It was fine.
    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.
  • hang it somewhere or put it sleep under your bed could be better, cuz it will makes little bit flatCool
