Storing Wedding Dress Tips before wedding

Nicole, on June 2, 2019 at 4:42 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
Hello,
So I bought a beautiful sample dress on sale, however I’m lost on how to store it until I need alterations in six months. Any tips or suggestions for storage? I still have a year before my wedding, it’s all over lace and has a long train. It’s currently in a cloth bag hanging up.

    I bought my lace dress as a sample back in December, and my 1st fitting was May. I just left it hanging in that garment bag they gave it to me in. It was in a closet at my future in-laws house because I couldn't store it in our place and my mom didn't have room for it. It held up fine for 5 months.

    I just wouldn't store it in a musty basement or attic or anything.

    As long as there isn't a risk of snooping fiances that should be fine!

    You're supposed to keep it away from the light and heat. I bought an avid free storage box (comes with acid free tissue paper) and stores it under the bead.

    Mine has spent the last 7 months in a closet at a friends house. I’m almost dreading having to try it on and disturbing it.....

    I bought my dress in April with first alterations in October. I'm keeping it in the bag provided and storing it at my parent's house in my old bedroom closet.

    When I was dropping it off I thought how crazy it was that this same closet held my prom dress, both graduation gowns, and now my wedding dress. it brought a little tear to my eye.
