It doesn’t matter what reason, it is important to preserve your wedding gown. Although you may not believe it now, years down the road you will regret having missed this opportunity. You will want your wedding dress in good condition once again.
Many brides leave their dresses in plastic bags after the wedding, thinking that it will be preserved someday. Although there are always good intentions, sometimes those “sometime” ends up being weeks or even years. Procrastinating can lead to serious damage to your gown.
Your wedding gown is stained. The hem of your wedding gown may have dirt, grass stains and even asphalt parking lot oil. There’s also the underarm deodorant and body oil, as well as the sweat, perspiration, body oils, make-up, and spray tan. You might even have a wine spillage.
You may also find stains that aren’t easily visible like those caused by soda, champagne or cake frosting. Any liquid stain will eventually turn brown and oxidize. It is more difficult to remove stains that have oxidized or set for too long. To prevent this, it is important to clean and preserve your wedding gown.
Your gown should not be kept in plastic bags. Plastic is made of petroleum and emits fumes. Your dress will yellow from these chemical fumes. This is why your dress should not be taken to dry-cleaners and left in the bag it was returned in.
Hanging your wedding dress can lead to additional problems. Hanging your wedding gown can cause damage to the fabric and seams. The sleeves of your wedding gown will be stretched by the weight of its body. If your dress is strapless, or you hang it by the side seam hanging loops provided by the manufacturer, you will stretch the fabric as well as the side seams. For dresses with long, heavy trains, the same applies to the hanging loop.
