I live across the country from where I am from/where the wedding is. I have my dress with me for fittings but will need to take it back home with me the week of the wedding. Has anyone done this and have any advice on the best way to handle? I have heard that planes have closets you can hang garment bags in but I am nervous about carrying around a 6 ft long garment back through security etc and then there not being space in closet. I also heard of people folding the dress into the largest possible carry on and keeping it with them the entire time but my fear with that is I will have a belt sown onto the dress and I don't want it to rip any other parts of the dress in transit.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and what did you do??
