Re: What did you do....

mine is hanging in my moms closet. It was my grandmas dress and she kept it rolled up in a pillow case since the 1940s and it didn't discolor. I think thats where we are going to keep it. LOL.

Re: What did you do....

I wore it again for our day after shoot and now its back to being crumpled at the base of mycloset. I SHOULD have it cleaned but I never intend to wear it again and that $150 would be half of a flushmounted album for us sooooooo kinda hesitating.

Re: What did you do....

That pillow case idea is interesting, I wish I could do that but I am going to need about 15 pillowcases sewn together to cover my dress... LOL.

I am going to have it dry cleaned because there some spots on it and then we are going to do some day after shots around August and then I am going to preserve it.

LOL we dont know why she kept it in a pillow case, but it didn't discolor, or smell, or anything!!! The pillow case discolored a little, but the dress was in perfect condition except for a few small rips that happened while she was wearing it. I figure Ill do the same since it seemed to work. And Im afraid preserving it will have the opposite effect on it.

I agree with you. Preserving it might effect it. It is a beautiful gown. I loved it!! It is a classic and elegant piece.

Re: What did you do....

Re: What did you do....

It sat at my mom's, on my old bed for a year. Then I finally brought it in to be preserved. Now it sits in my closet, just seeing the box makes me smile knowing what's inside.

Re: What did you do....

I voted for 'hanging in my closet' but truthfully, it's just hanging on the back of my bedroom door in it's bag

I can't believe you wore your grandma's dress- how beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy that it was perfectly 'preserved' in a pillow case!! But wow- that is incredible that you could wear her dress- makes me smile

Re: What did you do....

still at my parents house in my old closet -- it's wrapped in a sheet right now cause I read somewhere that was the best way to store it versus in the bag until it gets preserved. just don't feel like paying to get it cleaned yet
