Storing my dress until Oct...Help!!

Hello Ladies.

I just picked up my dress from David's Bridal and now have to put it at my Aunt's house until June. I bought a $10 garment bag from David's Bridal to keep it in. Do you think it will be okay until June when I need to get it altered???? Any suggestions.

Thanks.

You should wrap it in a white sheet and then put it in the garment bag.

Yes, I think it's fine. Just leave it in a closet with the garment bag open a bit for ventilation. I got my dress a few months early b/c I got it through Netbride. I called Lazaro to find out how they recommend storing it - you may want to ck with David's Bridal to see if your particular dress needs anything special.

You'll be fine, you're on the same timetable I was on. Besides your name is Rachel, so you're already ahead of the game.

Wrap your dress in a large, white cotton sheet, and don't zip it up quite all the way - leave a few inches open. Then put the garment bag in a good closet - not too moist or mildewy, or in contact with any cigarrette smoke or the like, and you're good to go!

I've been holding on to my dress since the end of July. It's going to be stored for a year. I wrapped it up in a white sheet and in the garment bag.
