dress for the wedding nowadays, not to lend one. And having a favorite wedding dress is
a blissful thing. However it is easy to pick your favorite one, but way too hard to keep it in
good condition. So how do brides keep their wedding dress well after the wedding? Here
let’s see how we should do it.
Step One Knowing the wedding dress’s material
When you are purchasing a wedding dress, remember to ask its material, and once you
know it, then ask how to wash it if it is stained by red wine or champagne at the wedding.
In addition, some wedding dresses are attached with little pearls or shining pieces, so
also ask the seller what should be kept in mind when you wash them.
Step Two Cleaning the wedding dress
Generally speaking, the longer the stains stay, the harder it is for you to wash them away.
So you’d better wash your wedding dress right after the wedding, in order to avoid
unnecessary problems. If you choose wet cleaning, put your wedding dress into warm
water with neutral detergent, thus the stains will dissolve quickly. If you choose dry
cleaning, use filtrated detergent for washing, and give clear indications of where the
stains are.
Step Three Sunning the wedding dress
When your wedding dress is washed, you need to sun it at once, but you also need to
remember that it should never be hung in blazing sun for a long time, because the
blazing sun will make the wedding dress crisp, and peplum, pearl pieces, decorations will
also fall off. During the sunning, it is best to turn the wedding dress to the other side, thus
it avoids the color damaging from the blazing sun.
Step Four Storing the wedding dress
It is better to store your wedding dress in a cool and dry place, don’t choose loft or
basement, as in these places the color of wedding dress are easy to fade, even worse it
may mildew. Moreover, when you store a wedding dress, always keep your hands clean,
never let any cosmetics left on them as your wedding dress may get yellow spots. Don’t
hang a wedding dress for too long a time, as long time hanging will elongate even tear it
as a result of the gravity.
