This is a very weird question but one I'm a little perplexed about.
I will pick up my dress from the seamstress about a week prior to the wedding. It will be pressed and ready to wear. Its chiffon with a sweep train... (Nothing too dramatic). My question is.... Where do I hang it in my house before the wedding? None of my closets have rods high enough that it won't drag on the floor and I can't hang it from a curtain rod or similar because the dog would LOVE to chew on it, I'm sure. Does anyone have any advise? Maybe it won't wrinkle by sitting in the floor for a couple of days but I don't know.... And I don't want FI to see it (we live together). HELP!!
Re: Where do I hang my dress?
This is exactly what I was going to suggest. Back of the door inside a garment bag to avoid dust or any other goobers that might get on it. If not, maybe you could get one of those temporary "command" hooks and hang it somewhere in a room where it will be out of the way.
I got one of the those over the door hooks to hang mine on back of the door.
Also, most dresses actually do better laying flat, depending on the material. A lot of people lay them flat under the bed or something like that. I probably would have done that with mine, except my dogs lay under my bed and I didn't want them laying on it or messing with it, even if it was in a garment bag.
Also, my seamstress put a trash bag filled with air inside the bodice to hold the shape and help prevent wrinkling. Then she pinned the train up over the shoulders to prevent that from wrinkling. I'm sure your seamstress may have advice to help keep it in pristine condition. She also should be able to tell you if laying it flat would be better or acceptable, based on your dress style and material.
