How do you store a wedding dress?

I put mine inside a double duvet cover and have spread it out across the spare bed. At some point before the wedding I'll get it dry-cleaned and steamed (it's a little creased) and after that I'll hang it up to avoid it creasing up again, but I'll probably only have it hanging for about a week or two.

Mine was in a wedding dress bag which came with the dress from the bridal shop from December to March. My SIL stored hers under a white table cloth!

I think most store theirs in a duvet cover, or dress bag, which is quite often supplied with the dress, then hung up somewhere.

My dress? Shoved in a black bin bag under my mums spare bed. Can you tell i'm not precious about my wedding dress? ?

My dress is in a dress bag then folded into 4 and in a box under my bed. All our other wedding stuff is at OH's but for obvious reasons Ive had to keep this with me!

Thank you ladies.

is it best to lay it flat? I was thinking about storing it in the wardrobe in my parents spare room.

sooooooooo hope I get it on Saturday

I was told by the shop I bought it from to take it out of the bag they put it in when they give it to you and put it in a duvet cover so its breathable....Apparently, the plastic bags can make them sweat and alter the colour of the dress.

Good Question,

mine is in a dress bag and won't be used until June 2012 too! Think I may get it out or open up the zip so it can breathe.

Found this link which is quiet helpful /

Think will store it in a bed sheet and lay flat somewhere

Wedding dress now hanging in a duvet cover in guest bathroom, just hope OH resists the urge not to peek, he promised he won't!

Thanks for the tip ?
