I was told no basement and no attic because of moisture and mildew. I put my wedding dress in my closet. I don't ever plan to put it in any basements, attics should we buy a house.

i store mine behind the tv cabinet, because it's caddy cornered in the living room and there's no room to put the darn dress anywhere else!!

my mother has her's stored in the attic, and i dont' think she's ever had a problem with it...

Right now, it's in my parents garage. That's the only place there is room for it.

I have always been told that this was the best place for it. Right now mine is in a closet in one of the empty bedrooms.

I have it in the box from wedclean and I gave it to my mother. They have it in the basement. Their basement isn't damp.

Right now it's in teh absement because I can't think of anywhere else where there is enough space. But I know I've got to move it. We have underbed storage, so I can't do that in our room and I don't think it will fit under the guest bed.

It's been driving me crazy since I got the dress back from the cleaners!

My Dress is HUGE!!! I had to get the extra big bx from wedclean, and it doesn't fit in the closet, and under the bed is taken! Right now it's in the living room!
