Storing a wedding dress in a MEGA Storage unit in Panama can be an excellent option for those who do not have enough space in their homes or wish to keep their dresses safe for the future. However, if not stored properly, it can get damaged. Follow these steps to preserve it.
Steps 1 & 2: Cleaning and Expert Advice
Clean the dress: Before storing the dress, it is important to clean it properly. A professional dry cleaner is the best option. If not cleaned, it can attract insects and develop odors, damaging the fabric over time.
Follow your Boutique or Designer’s advice: The best people to ask about the care of your particular dress are the boutique staff. They have knowledge of your individual dress, the fabrics, and embellishments.
Steps 3 & 4: Proper Packing
Wrap the dress in acid-free tissue paper to protect it from dust and moisture. Then, store the dress in a breathable container, such as a cotton garment bag or a wardrobe box, avoiding plastic containers that trap moisture.
Steps 5 & 6: Secure Storage
Choose a climate-controlled unit: It is important to select a space that has climate control to prevent damage from extreme temperatures or humidity that can discolor the fabric or cause mold.
Safe and secure location: Choose a well-lit unit with good ventilation that is protected by security features like locks, cameras, and alarms, such as those you will find at MEGA Storage.
Step 7: Periodic Review
Finally, it is important to check the dress regularly to ensure it is still in good condition. Inspect the dress for signs of damage or deterioration so you can address them immediately.
