Picked up my dress!!

krissie1234uk · Oct 10th, 2010, 07:24 AM

I've just been and picked up my dress (it was an example sample) and it's currently sitting in my wardrobe until my mum comes back from holiday when she has said I can keep it there.

Exciting! Sooo, how am I meant to store the blummin thing!?

in acid free storage- like a bridal dress box or bag. it really should have came with a bag?

Just store it in there in a clean dry place, dont zip it up the whole way so that the stale air wont discolour it, let it breathe once a month (hang it up for an hour out the bag) and the day before, steam it in a hot bathroom.

It came with a plastic cover and a plasticy bag thing to carry it in but this isn't breathable so I assume is for short term storage?

sounds like it!!! your wedding is in 6 months so it should actually be ok as long as the zip isnt done all the way up and you let it out to breathe for a few hours once a month but make sure you store it where there are no moths!!

Haha!!! Going to try it on later with my sister so I will get pictures then. I've ordered a breathable bag from ebay for £5 too, hopefull that will work!

I keep going upstairs to look at it and washing my hands obsessively before I touch it. Thank god it's going to my mums soon or I'd end up wearing it round the house at this rate!

Mine is too small too, need to lose quite a bit to fit in it eeeek! Didn't get pics cos sister was distracted so will get some soon.

I do love it though!
