Wedding Hanging
Where can I get my mother’s wedding dress properly stored?
My mother passed away last year, leaving me a few important mementos, one being her wedding dress. Sap that I am, I’m not up to donating it. But it’s been hanging in a closet for about 16 years so I want it cleaned, and properly stored. Anyone know of businesses who do this inexpensively? Thanks in advance!
Inexpensively? Not really. Most good, reliable, professional dry cleaners have access to wedding gown preservation services that will, among other things, vacuum seal the dress in an acid-free box. But that is not cheap (about $150).
Check out: gownpreservation.com or prestigepreservation.com
OR, you can just get it cleaned and pressed, put it into a muslin (NOT plastic) sack and store it folded in a drawer or under your bed in an acid-free box. Don’t leave it hanging — too much stress on straps and shoulders. Check it every year or so for yellowing (due to oxidation) and moth damage.
Hope this helps.
