Wedclean question

I am sorry, I know this has been done to death, but is it true you can take it out of the box?

How is it perserved then?

Shouldn't the air be sucked out or something?

Re: Wedclean question

It says you should take it out of the box once a year and fluff it and refold. The point of that is that if you leave a garment folded for many years, it will get permanent fold lines in those places and be ruined even if the fabric is preserved elsewhere.

Re: Wedclean question

Its preserved because they use a acid free box and paper that prevent the light from damaging the dress.
