Basic storage preparation
Hanger: Use a wide shouldered, seamless pure cotton cloth hanger (avoid using thin wire hangers as they may cause snagging and creasing);
Dust bag: Choose breathable pure cotton/non-woven dust bags (avoid using plastic bags, as lack of breathability can cause mold and yellowing);
Storage environment: put it in a cool and dry wardrobe, away from direct sunlight, heating and air conditioning outlets, and avoid putting it together with camphor pills, perfume and other objects with pungent smell.
Short term storage (1-3 months)
Hang the thoroughly dried wedding dress on a cloth hanger, organize the mesh of the skirt and collar to avoid wrinkles; Put on a breathable and dust-proof bag, hang it on the middle layer of the wardrobe, do not squeeze it, and do not place sharp objects (such as zippers or metal jewelry) around it; Headcloth: Spread flat in a clean cotton cloth bag and place it inside the wedding dust bag to avoid hanging or pulling.
Long term storage (collection/wedding anniversary)
Forming treatment: First, iron the mesh to form it, ensuring that there are no wrinkles.
Wedding dress: Wrap the mesh part of the wedding dress, especially the collar and skirt, with acid free paper (museum grade collection paper to prevent yellowing), and then hang it in a dust bag.
Head veil: Gently roll the head veil into a cylindrical shape (do not fold, avoid creases), wrap it with acid free paper, and place it in a dedicated storage box. Put 1-2 packs of desiccant inside the box.
Regular inspection: Open the dust bag/storage box every 3-6 months, ventilate for half an hour, check if the mesh is yellowed, moldy, or tangled, and if the desiccant is ineffective.
