Elegant Lace Bridal Gown with Long Sleeves and Beading

Always...

hang your wedding gown by loops inside your wedding gown that are connected to the sturdy side seams, never by the fragile shoulder seams that can stretch or sag under the weight of your wedding gown.

Always...

avoid storing your wedding gown in a plastic bag (even a clean sheet is better than a plastic bag) or in a vacuum-sealed, plastic-wrapped container because plastic bags emit fumes that can yellow your wedding gown and shrink-wrapped containers trap moisture that can mildew your wedding gown. Also, the static electricity from the plastic plus the trapped moisture combine to set wrinkles that cannot be pressed out of your gown.

Always...

Avoid storing your preserved wedding gown in the attic or the basement.  Attics are too hot, and basements are too damp.  And if a pipe breaks in your basement, it is a law that the water will find your gown.  Also avoid storing your gown against any outside wall that is below gown because the damp from the wall will eventually penetrate your wedding gown chest.
