Maintaining your wedding dress clean for the big day

I think it takes longer to turn yellow than a few months unless you or someone else in the house smokes.

I have had my dress in my closet for the last 8 months and it still looks like the day I brought it home. I think you will be fine.

It takes years to turn yellow so you have nothing to worry about!

Your dress is fine. It could take years, decades even, for your dress to turn yellow. My wedding dress from 2 years ago is hanging in my closet in a garment bag and it looks just as fresh as the day I wore it.

Keep it at your mom’s

View Quoted Comment So glad to hear! Thank you so much 💗🙏

You should store it flat and make sure your garment bag is cloth, not plastic. Plastic has chemicals in it that can discolor your dress, especially when it gets hot. I'm not sure how long that takes, but if it's in plastic now it's probably ok, like pp have said. If you want to keep it long term, you may consider different storage options for after the wedding.

What about a garment bag?

View Quoted Comment It is cloth so I think it should be okay, thank you for the advice 🙏💗

View Quoted Comment It should. I have mine in a garment bag, I brought my dress home yesterday.

Fortunately for me ive been getting alterations done at mt bridal boutique so they keep the dress there and store it till a day or 2 before wedding and they steam it to so then i just oick it up and good to go..but youll deff want to ask your seamstress about cleaning or steaming before day of so its fresh and not musty from sitting in the bag for while. Dont keep it near light from the outside as that can make a change of color to your dress.

View Quoted Comment Great to know, I will definitely ask my seamstress thanks so much!!💗💗

Hey Daisy! How is your dress looking?

What is it like?

Thanks for the great post Daisy!

My dress has also been sitting in its bag since it arrived from PR after the hurricanes. So I'm gonna have to ask Mom to take a peek at it and make sure it's okay as well. I'm not sure if there is a good cleaners at home anymore so I really hope it's still in good condition

No problem at all! I wasnt sure if other brides are having this issue but it looks like its good so far! about 6 months away and it looks the same as when i bought it! Goodluck with yours! I would try to air it out once a month maybe just to make sure!!
