Our dry cleaning experts at D&B Tailors are sharing tips on How To Preserve Your Wedding Dress, so you don’t have to worry about losing its value!
4 Tips On Preserving Your Wedding Dress
- Dry Cleaning. Bring your dress to the cleaners after the wedding. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Getting your gown professionally cleaned will prolong it’s value and ensure better storage.
- Storing conditions.Finding the right box and ultimate storage conditions are vital here. It’s usually the moisture that ruins the dress, so make sure it is kept in the place where temperature stays the same. Remember, keep it cool and dry!
- Out of sight. Whatever you do, keep your dress away from the direct light! Otherwise, the next time you decide to look at your dress, it won’t be as white…
- Handle with Care. To preserve your gown’s shape, we recommend storing your dress in a box rather than hanging it in the closet. The weight of the dress can potentially stretch and distort the gown that used to fit you so well.
