dress storage

I got my dress today!!!  I ordered it from a shop in CA and they shipped it to my house in NY.  It's attached to a hanger and in a bag.  should I hang it up or leave it in the box it came in?

my dress is in 9 months, so it has a long wait.

I would hang it up in the bag.  That way it wont get wrinkled (even though it will be steamed), and the fabric cant snag on any beading when moving the box if the dress is folded in it.

Make sure it is out of anywhere that gets humid

If your bag is not a fabric bag, it might be a worthwhile investment to get one.  I have stored my dress in a fabric bag and hung it by the loops attached under the arms, for over a year, and it's been fine.

Just hang it in dustbags. It wold keep straight and clean.
