One day you will show your children and grandchildren and perhaps your daughter will even consider wearing it!

Here are a few things to know about preserving and storing your gown:
1. Have your dress cleaned by a reputable dry cleaner specialising in the cleaning of wedding dresses straight after the wedding, leaving stains too long in fabric may leave a permanent mark and even stains which are invisible at first will darken and appear with time.
2. Store your dress in a pH neutral container.
3. Fold the dress carefully, creases and embellishments should have acid free tissue layered between them. If your dress has a train you will need to lie this in the box before the skirt and put acid free tissue between them.
Never use regular tissue as this contains residual acids which may leach into the fabric, ruining your dress.
4. Avoid a box with a window as light will cause discolouration of the dress
5. Store your dress in a dry environment such as on top of a wardrobe or under the bed ensuring it is away from any damp, direct or indirect heat and from sunlight.
6. Don’t be afraid to take your dress out and touch it to relive the memories on special occasions such as anniversaries.
Following these steps will ensure that decades from now, your dress will be just as beautiful as it was on your wedding day!
