How do I look after my maternity wedding dress UNTIL my wedding day?
- Store it somewhere cool and dry ... away from smoke or other impurities
- Remove any plastic cover -- your dress needs to breathe. Cover with a simple clean white sheet from your laundry cupboard or a specialist dress preservation bag
- If you need to move your dress to another location, the dress bag will be much easier to manage tham a sheet!
- Wear cotton gloves when handling your dress to avoid soiling.
The damage you can't see ... why you need to prevent it!
If your gown has no obvious marks or spots, it's tempting to save money and store the dress away yourself.
You need to think about those stains you can't see today!
- As time passes, colourless stains age and can discolour fabric
- Any food stains might attract insects to attack the fabric
- Perspiration marks and body oils will yellow with age as they gradually oxidise
- Alcohol and soft drinks both contain sugar which dries clear.
When should I have my dress cleaned?
Don't delay! Stains damage fabric ...the longer you leave them, the harder they are to shift!
Be meticulous about storing your dress in a cool, dry, dark place whilst waiting to have it professionally cleaned.
