Wedding Dress Storage

I’m not sure if this will turn out the same for you. So back in 2017, I bought a dress and bought a dress bag for it and it has been in its box this whole time. Last year, I tried it on and it didn’t fit but it was in excellent condition and with no fading etc. Depending on the fabric as well, I would ask them what they recommend

I bought mine as a sample and had to take it with me immediately, so it lived in the back of my closet in a garment bag for a year until last month when I took it to the seamstress to be alerted. Would it not fit in your closet? Or if it’s in a box, possibly under the bed?

View Quoted Comment My FH and I live together and he never once even thought about looking at the dress 🤷‍♀️

A seamstress may be able to store your dress! The seamstress doing my alterations offered to store mine for two years since we had to postpone to 2022, but I decided to pick it up. Whoever was going to do your alterations may be able to safely store it (possibly for a fee).

If you have a bridal party can they store it for you? Or your in laws ?

I lived with my husband and he never looked at my dress. I had it in a closet for over a year. It could also lay flat under your bed.

I also rescheduled my wedding for next year. I arranged with one of my bridesmaids to store my dress at her place

Do you have any friends that can store the dress? I had my best friend’s wedding dress for a few weeks before her wedding because she didn’t want her husband to see and her mother smoked.

View Quoted Comment I think I am so stressed out from everything being moved that I didn’t even think about asking my bridesmaids🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

View Quoted Comment I’m not worried about him necessarily looking at it. It’s just that the dress is a kind abig so it won’t fit in my closet with all my other crap🙈 and the spare closet we have has coats and shoes in so he would see it trying to get in there.


Someone did mention asking friends or bridesmaids. I also didn’t think about under the bed!
