Hey all! So, during this whole process of looking for a dress and then actually FINDING one, it kind of slipped my mind that I’d actually maybe need to protect this thing! I didn’t want to spend whatever exorbitant fee DB was gunna throw at me on my way out the door so I lied and said I had a dress protector/bag in my car. I knew I shouldn’t have kept it in the tight plastic sheath DB gave it to me in, and figured I should look around for something else. Fast forward a couple months and I finally got around to doing alterations and a newer slightly bigger plastic bag is around my dress..
The seamstress told my mother and I that all I needed was to wrap a blanket around it?? That..that doesn’t sound right to me. Can I really protect this costly gown with just a blanket? I bought a dress bag (acid free?) on amazon (pic below) but I was wondering what y’all do? Did you just stick it in a bag like that and call it a day until your big day or is there something else I should do to protect my gown? My wedding is in the beginning of February so I want to avoid any mistakes where I can with so much time between now and then since I’m not really going to be taking it out anymore until the day of (Should I get moth balls?).
Is this actually enough??
