i would say bridal shop but i haven't thought of it much. if figure it would take a while anyway until it's actually finished. but i don't plan on taking it home until like a month before the big day.

The Bridal Salon I got it from stores the dress until the day I pick it up.

So, I've noticed that a lot of you '07 girls have gotten their gowns already. I have a year and a half and I know it doesn't take that long for a gown to come in. So, for arguments sake, say if you are like me and getting married in October '07, and you order your gown now and it comes in by the Fall/Winter of this year......where are you storing it until the big day?
I know there's alterations and such, so it will stay at the botique for a while, but do they charge to hold your gown for a longer period of time?

i was told to wrap a white sheet around the dress...leave the zipper open a bit at the top and keep it out of direct sunlight (so store it in a closet) and the dress will be fine until you need to bring it out for alterations
