I bought a box for mine and non acidic paper (something to do with not making the dress go yellow). I bought both of those in the UK though.
Anyway here is the site, they have a FAQ page that tells you all the does and don'ts for storing it. http://www.emptybox.co.uk/products.asp - link -------------

Have you already had it drycleaned? The place I had mine done wrapped it in the tissue paper stuff and put it in a special storage box i think alot of drycleaners can do that if you ask them? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

It took me almost two years to dry clean mine! It has come up beautiful though. Thanks for your advice ladies, I will seek out some tissue paper from somewhere? |

mine is dry cleaned but in its suitbag in wardrobe still. It as about $50 extra fo rthe box etc, and it cost over $100 to clean, so I thought I would wait... Am going in bride of the year later this year, so will get the box and tissue after then, as I am sure I won't be wearing it again. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |
