wedding dress preservation

Bought a dress, now how do I keep it in good condition?

So I went out with my FSIL(my brother's fiance) to various consignment shops clothes shopping. We are both planning our weddings so when we saw wedding dresses we though it would be fun to try them on. I had no intentions of buying but when I put on this one dress, it fit me perfectly, looked wonderful, and basically just seemed to be made for me. I was so happy and then when I found out it was only $60 I nearly dropped my jaw to the floor. I looked up the dress, it started out at nearly $700 new, so even with alternations, cleaning, and preservation, it is still less than the new dress. Now comes my question. The dress needs to be cleaned, so I plan to have that done professionally. After that, seeing as my wedding won't be for a year and a half at the most, should I have the dress preserved until my wedding? I've heard just hanging it is bad on the seams and makes the dress sag. Your thoughts?

Introduction
Storing your wedding dress, your great-grandmother's handmade quilt, or a valuable old tapestry in one of those cardboard boxes with a cellophane window could be a costly mistake!

No fabric should remain folded in a sealed box for years, and cellophane windows can trap damaging moisture. Storing fine textiles is not difficult: Do the job correctly and preserve your precious garments for decades.

Wedding Dress Storage Steps

Step One
Have the dress professionally cleaned as soon as possible. Some stains, such as sweat, perfume and alcohol, may be invisible at first but will darken with time if not removed.

Step Two
Choose between box and hanger storage. Keeping the dress in a box may prove to be more practical, but hanging the garment in a closet is the best way to prevent difficult-to-remove creases. Purchase plenty of acid-free tissue paper. You'll need it whether you fold or hang the dress.

Step Three
Line an acid-free cardboard box with acid-free tissue paper if you are storing the garment in a box. Lay the hem in the box first and then fold the dress accordion-style, placing crumpled tissue paper between each fold. Stuff the inside of the bodice and sleeves with crumpled tissue. Layer more tissue on top and cover with the box lid.

Step Four
Wrap a wide hanger with cotton batting if you are hanging the garment, then cover it with muslin. Hang the dress and stuff the bodice, sleeves and any deep folds in the fabric with acid-free tissue. Cover the dress with a muslin garment bag and hang it in a cool, dry closet. Take care not to crush it with other clothing.

Step Five
Check the dress's condition each year. If boxed, repack so the folds are in different places; if hung, wash the muslin cover.
