  • An 80 year old Grandmother's wedding dress is precious cargo so treat it as such. Interview different dry cleaners that specialize in cleaning and boxing a wedding dress (special procedures of taking any air out of the plastic bag the wedding dress is put in which is then put into an air tight box) and this stops the dress from yellowing or the material from becoming fragmented from time. It is not cheap to have a wedding dress stored in this manner, but, it is worth it in the end. If you absolutely cannot afford the price of having this done then get a good quality garment bag with no openings (zipper front on the bag) and if the dress is not soiled or yellowed then place the wedding dress inside the plastic bag; bring the zipper almost to the bottom to seal and then take your vacuum cleaner and suck all the air out of the bag and quickly finish zipping up the bag; then play tape all the way down the zipper. You can actually hang the wedding dress in a closet or, find a good solid box with a good lid and lay the wedding dress in it. There have been TV Commercials with special garment bags where you can also do the above with the vacuum cleaner. They can be purchased at many stores.

What is the best way to store a wedding dress in a humid climate like Houston?

Humidity can stain a wedding dress giving it a yellow appearance. It is important to have a wedding dress bag that can protect your dress from these elements. If you are unsure where to buy this kind of bag you should ask the dress maker where you purchase your dress. In the worst case scenario, never keep a dress in the attic or the basement of the house and try to store it in a place with a moderate but stable temperature.

A wedding dress should never be wrapped in a sheet as it will not protect the dress from yellowing. To preserve a wedding dress it is best to take the wedding dress to a good dry cleaners that is experienced in preserving wedding dresses; they will clean the wedding dress; put a solution on it; put in a special wrap with all air gone and box it for safekeeping.
