  • I would ask the bridal salon you bought it from for suggestions.

    It sould keep just fine.  My wedding dress from my first wedding 10 years ago still looks like brand new, and I've just been keeping it wrapped in a white sheet, and in the plastic cover it came in, stored in a cool dark place (climate-controlled storage locker).   It's satin.  Not sure what to do with other materials (lace, chiffon, etc) but your bridal salon should be able to tell you.

  • Avion22 is right , you can buy a garment bag too.
  • you should be fine.  Make sure it is not stored in a hot room/closet.  Store it in a house that has A/C and put it in a closet away from sun. If you smoke or anyone in your house smokes, find somewhere else to store it.  You need to be sure you store it in a breathable fabric bag,  and not a plastic garment bag.  Otherwise, you should be ok.
  • Talk to the bridal salon you bought it from. They'll know best.

  • I was engaged once back in 2007 and have had a dress since then. I kept it in the bag from the salon and hung it in my bedroom closet. It's fairly ventilated and cool in the room..smoke and pet free. I opened it up a few weeks ago and the dress looks brand spanky new! No yellowing whatsoever.  Just keep it ventilated and air it out every now and again, you should be just fine.

  • My dress had thick straps and my seamstress suggested not having it hang prior to my wedding because it could stretch out. She suggested laying it on a spare bed.
    Just something to think about if your dress isn't strapless.
