Wedding Gown Preservation And Preventing Deterioration Of Bridal Gown
By Natalie Glass
Most brides put a lot of effort and emotion into selecting
the beautiful wedding gown that she will wear on the
day of her nuptials. Keeping the wedding dress in good
condition is often an important thing to the bride so
that she knows, it will be a memento to keep for years
to come.
As a result, wedding gown preservation is important
to review and plan, along with the other details of
the wedding. Another reason to preserve the wedding
gown, is so that the bride can pass the dress on to
another family member. Often when one finds the perfect
wedding gown, it will also be useful and meaningful
if worn by another family member who has a similar body
style and size.
Sometimes this means that a younger sister or cousin
can also enjoy a special bridal dress, or it can be
saved so that a daughter or two are able to wear the
treasured gown for their special day.
Wedding Gown Preservation Helps Keep The Bridal Gown
In Pristine Condition
It doesn’t really matter why wedding gown preservation
is desired, yet it is possible to keep a bridal gown
in pristine condition even after many years of storage,
if it was properly handled from the start and stored
correctly. But, when the right steps are not taken right
away, and the storage is inferior, it is almost assured
that the dress will be ruined.
This can even be heartbreaking if a daughter has spent
years dreaming about being able to wear her mother’s
wedding dress for the occasion of her own marriage.
But, good gown preservation will help to assure that
such disappointment does not happen and that the heirloom
bridal dress can be happily and proudly worn again.
Proper Storage To Prevent Deterioration
In the midst of the whirlwind that swirls around most
nuptials, many times the bridal gown is simply left
in an ordinary plastic garment bag. Weeks go by and
it is often forgotten about and is not properly stored
to prevent deterioration. Unfortunately, this unintentional
neglect can make proper gown preservation very difficult.
If preservation steps are delayed, then stains have
a chance to oxidize. These could be both seen and unseen
stains. Even if the dress visually seems clean there
is likely to be areas of body perspiration on the fabric
which will cause discoloration over time and can even
cause the fabric to become brittle. The bridal gown
should be cleaned as soon as possible after the wedding
to make sure it is preserved in its best condition.
Plastic Garment Bag May Damage The Wedding Gown
Even though many people believe that leaving the wedding
gown in the protective plastic garment bag is enough
to preserve a wedding gown, the fact is that there are
harmful fumes that are emitted from the plastic. These
are chemical releases that will cause a wedding dress
to yellow and will do more harm than good over time.
The two most important aspects of proper wedding gown
preservation are prompt cleaning of the dress and storage
of it in the right kind of container, which would be
a box that is acid free. These steps should be done
at the very earliest time possible to assure the best
results for long term preservation.
It is often best to rely on a professional service
to handle the preservation so that one can rest assured
it was done correctly.
