Preserving Your Wedding Dress!
The T.V. show "Say Yes To The Dress" is a popular show on
the TLC network. It helps brides-to-be pick out the perfect
wedding dress.
If you already have a wedding dress and would like it to last
for 5, 10 or even 50 yrs. do not just let it hang in your closet.
That's right- hanging it up for yrs. won't help preserve it and it may
even put your health in danger. How? Leaving it in the closet
and then leaving a window open, day after day, the dress will only
collect dust and pollen. And if you or a family member suffers
from allergies or sinus problems, the dress will only make them worst.
So, if you want to keep that dress for your daughter or granddaughter,
do the following...
Lay the dress down, place some acid-free paper over it and fold it in thirds.
And then you may want to crumple some tissue paper in the shoulders and sleeves
of the dress to keep the shape. And finally, wrap it in a clean sheet and store it in
a drawer, a trunk, a shelf or in a cabinet that has a door.
That's it- your tip for helping that wedding dress last for years and years.
Good Luck!
