Hi ladies,

My dress will be ready some time during this month – in the US – and I will not be able to pick it up until I go there for the holidays. So a family member will pick it up and store it for me until then. My question is: should I give her any advice on how to store it? For instance, I heard that even though it comes on a hanger, I should actually store it laying flat on a bed so that it’s own weight doesn’t end up damaging it. Does that only apply to long-term dress storage or should I be concerned about it?

Any other advice would be very much appreciated.Smile

I think it would be fine on a hanger for a few months. Dresses are left on hangers for a few months in the bridal stores all the time, i think it would be fine. I think it just isn’t something you should do for years. As long as it has a really good garment bag that can breathe protecting it, it should be fine!
