My Dress Storage

Hi Ladies!

I found and purchased my gown in December 2009, but my wedding is not till 08/10, and I am worried on how to properly store my lace gown.  I have heard of wrapping it in a white sheet and placing it in a storage container.  But, I have also heard of just leaving it in a dark closet, and letting the dress air out about once a month.  What do you ladies think would be the best way to store my lace gown ?

Thank you!!

  • Some dresses "grow" if left on hangers (the fabric will stretch). I would call the dress shop and talk to them. For some of my long gowns I've been told to turn them inside out and hang them from the waist but depending on the construction of your gown, that could be hard to  do, you have to use a hanger with clips and the clips might not be big enough to hold all the layers of fabric.
