Self Storage For Your Wedding Dress

With quite possibly the biggest day of your life approaching, you probably aren’t thinking of storing your wedding dress away for a lifetime. But it’s a valid thought, how should you store your dress? Let us help you with that. Don’t let your memories get ruined with improper dress storage!

Storage For Your Wedding Dress

We don’t mean to use the bag that it came in, no you need something breathable, What you need is a muslin garment bag, these are highly breathable and will
keep your wedding dress for getting mouldy. You can get a muslin bag from many online retailers. These bags will also protect the dress better than the
standard bag.

Climate is Key

Make sure that you know the climate your dress is stored in will most affect its life. Too hot and you will ruin the fabric, too cold and you could attract mould. We recommend using a temperature controlled storage in this case. A constant and humidity free temperature will go along way in making sure your daughter might one day wear the dress.

Position Counts

There is only one way to store your dress, and that is hanging upright. Grab a good quality hanger, ones with the padding, and make sure it’s snug. If you lay your dress flat it will get wrinkles and spoil your big day, Wrinkles are very hard to get out of some wedding dress materials.

Clean It

This is key, especially after you wore it on the big day. It’s going to be full of sweat, food and everything else you can imagine. If you store the dress in this state, there is a high chance you will never, ever get the stains out. Sweat and other things also attract mould, and when the mould hits, it’s time to throw the dress away.
