Hi all,
I am hoping some of the conservators out there can answer my question. I need to have my wedding gown cleaned and preserved. What is the best way to have this done? Is there a storage method that is better than another? I have seen some places that store the gowns in cloth bags on hangers and others that pack them in acid free/lignin free boxes. Also, what is recommended for veil storage? I've also heard I should not have the gown pressed before storage, is this true?
If you have any suggestions on companies I should use that would be helpful.
Thanks!
Dana
