How to care for wedding dresses

Wedding dresses are investment pieces that can be sentimental family heirlooms for generations to come. A wedding dress is one of the most important purchases a woman can make, and is often one of the main expenses of a wedding. Once a wedding dress has been purchased, special care must be taken to keep the dress in perfect condition. While it is very important to keep the wedding dress in perfect condition before the wedding, most women would agree that they want to make sure that their wedding dress is kept in the best shape possible for years to come. It's not necessarily difficult to keep a wedding dress in good condition, but there are a few specific things to keep in mind when it comes to hanging, storing, and cleaning the dress.

Hanging Wedding Dresses

The materials used in most wedding dresses are not known for their strength, and to avoid tearing, split seams and other damage, it is important to be careful when hanging the dress.

In general, wedding dresses cannot be put on a hanger like normal dresses, as the weight of the gown can make the material of the dress tear or tear near the hanger. Instead, small sewn fabric ties should be used on the inside of the dress to hang the dress securely. The dressmaker places these dangling ties on the robe's strongest seams, ensuring they can support the weight of the full robe without causing any damage.

Cleaning wedding dresses

It seems obvious that wedding dresses should be dry-cleaned, but care should be taken when choosing a dry cleaner as some dry cleaning services send their clothes to another facility and their dress may be damaged by rough handling and stress from the transit. Before choosing a dry cleaner, make sure they process all of their clothes on-site and do their work by hand rather than using an automated system. If possible, try to find a dry cleaner who has specific expertise in wedding dresses and make sure they are familiar with how delicate the material can be; This is especially important if your wedding dress has beading or other intricate decorations. Being picky about your dry cleaning will ensure that your gown is not damaged.

Wedding dress repairs

Just as you must be picky about the cleaner your wedding dress is taking, any repairs that need to be made should be from a seamstress who is familiar with the delicate construction of wedding dresses. Some wedding salons will offer repair services for the dresses they sell. But if not, be sure to shop around to find a seamstress or sewing shop that has significant experience repairing wedding dresses.

Preparation of wedding dresses for storage

Before storing a wedding dress, make sure it's in the best possible condition so that it stays that way until you're ready to take it out of storage. Check for small holes, rips, or other signs of damage to the gown and make sure there are no stains or discoloration. Take the time to inspect the seams and any beading or decoration found on the dress as these are the most likely places for unraveling and holes to form. Bring the dress for cleaning or repair if necessary, and allow it to hang for at least a day or two after cleaning before storing. That way, you can make sure there are no residual chemicals in the material of the dress.

Store a wedding dress

Never store a wedding dress in a plastic container or covered with a plastic bag. Over time, the plastic can release chemicals that will make a white wedding dress turn yellow and the finest decorations become brittle. Carefully fold the wedding dress and place it in a museum-quality, acid-free storage box; These are specifically sold as trunks for storing wedding dresses or wedding dresses. The dress should be wrapped in acid free cloth or fabric to protect it from the rough cardboard or cardboard of the storage container.
