By using these tips, you can easily store your wedding dress in your closet.
But first, let’s discuss why it is important to store a wedding dress.
1. Why is Wedding Dress Preservation Important?
Wedding dress preservation is important. It is because a wedding dress has delicate work all over. One rough fold and the delicate pearl work can be damaged. But you don’t want that, now do you?
Your wedding dress can go through the following horrors if not handled with care:
- It can be permanently creased.
- The texture of the dress can become rough.
- The color of the dress might get ruined.
- Your wedding dress embroidery can possibly get damaged.
To save your wedding dress, you need to preserve and clean it with great care.
2. How Should I Clean My Wedding Dress?
Cleaning your wedding dress before you store it is ideal. Therefore, you need to first have your dress assessed by an expert. This expert can be a dry cleaner. You can have him assess the details of your bridal dress.
They will tell you the cleaning process of your dress. But that does not mean you should jump in and quickly hand over your dress to them.
You need to go through their guarantee. Or at least seek a verbal guarantee from them that they won’t damage your dress.
Note: According to our experts at MBM, there are dry cleaners that have special procedures to clean wedding dresses. Also, to buy the best luxury pret collection wear in Pakistan contact us today!
3. Where to Put the Wedding Dress Before Your Wedding Day?
This one is tricky but luckily enough, we have an answer for you. You need to first put your wedding dress, whether it is a lehenga or a gown, in a bag. At MBM, we provide our dresses to our customers in breathable garment bags. Why is it important? It is because it will prevent your dress from touching any rough surfaces around.
After placing it in a bag, hang the dress at the back of a dark and cool closet. You don’t want the dress in a warm place, where it is directly in contact with sunlight. It can cause your wedding dress to bleach.
So, remember: a cool and dark place at the back of your closet would be great.
4. Should I Hang My Wedding Dress or Not?
People usually hang their dresses. But this is where they commit a mistake. While there are dresses that can be hung, it is not a problem. Nonetheless, if your wedding dress is very heavy then hanging it would stretch it over time.
So, analyze your wedding dress for a while. If it is heavy, then it needs to be placed lying down. It would save your dress from creasing too. Because the stretching can affect the fabric too. It is possible that the next time you wear your dress, it might have ‘grown’ in size.
It might not even fit the same way because you hung it for too long. So, do yourself a favor and lay it down.
5. How to Pack A Wedding Dress?
It is possible that you might want to pack your wedding dress and then put it away.
Many designers provide preservation boxes, in which you can pack your dress. Hang the dress by the straps and fold it inside a box.
You can then place that box in a dark and cold place. You can have the shop where you purchased the dress do this for you. Because it is a task that has to be handled with great care.
So, if you don’t know how to do it, that’s okay! A lot of us don’t know how to fold or pack a wedding dress.
Asking for help would relieve you of a lot of stress, honestly!
6. Things to Avoid When Storing Your Wedding Dress
