Once you purchase your wedding dress, how do you take care of it? Especially if you want to keep it and pass it on to other family members or just to have as a keepsake. Here are a few simple tips for taking care of your special dress.*Have it dry cleaned by a company that specializes in wedding dresses. Ask others and check around before you choose a dry cleaner to get the best result.
*Put acid free tissue paper inside the dress.
*Put the dress in an acid free corrugated box. To be extra safe, you could put your gown in a acid free bag and then package it in the box. That would give it added protection from light and dust.
*Don't store your dress in an area of your home where it is damp or the temperature changes. It is best if you can keep it where the temperature will stay stable not too hot and not too cold such as under your bed.
*Every so often, take the dress out and check it for any problems that might be developing.
*Check with the company you buy the dress from and ask them what special directions they might have for caring for your dress.
Good luck!
