Essential for Brides Who Purchased Their Wedding Dress! The "Dress Cover and Bag" Dilemma for Storage and Transport

My Important Dress ♡ How to Store It?

I think there are quite a few brides recently who have purchased their "one and only dress in the world ♡".

A dress tailored to your design and size is a precious garment that you want to cherish forever ♡.

Therefore, ideally, you should consider the "storage method" and "transportation method" before buying the dress...

Surprisingly, many brides seem to be worrying after their purchase, asking themselves, "I bought a dress, but how should I store it?" or "I want to take it on my honeymoon, but how should I carry it?"

So this time, we will thoroughly introduce "dress covers" and "dress bags"!

What is a Dress Cover?

First, let's learn what a "dress cover" is.

When storing a wedding dress at home, it is covered for protection.

Just like you would use a garment cover for a suit or coat, a wedding dress also needs a cover ♩.

The dress cover serves two main functions:

① It prevents dust.

② It ensures good ventilation and prevents mold.

Therefore, be sure to use a cover instead of leaving it as is ♡.

What Kind of Dress Cover is Good?

For wedding dress covers, fabric or non-woven fabric is recommended, just like regular garment covers ♡.

While some places provide a plastic or clear cover when you purchase a dress, these can be poorly ventilated and lead to mold, so it's best to switch to a fabric or non-woven dress cover ◎.

There are many types of dress covers, but be careful not to choose a small size. It's recommended to use a larger size that doesn't crush the dress ♡.

For brides who have purchased a luxurious dress with a long train, one with gussets is even safer ♡.

If you have enough space, it's best to choose a larger size that won't create wrinkles ♩.

There are also garment covers that simply slip over the dress, but for a wedding dress, it's preferable to have one that zips closed securely.

What is a Dress Bag?

Next, let's introduce the "dress bag" ♡.

A dress bag is used to carry large dresses ♡. Some dress bags can also be used as dress covers, so many brides choose to purchase a dress bag alone.

What Kind of Dress Bag is Good?

When choosing a dress bag, it's recommended to look for one made from fabric or non-woven fabric, just like the dress cover.

The dress bags sold on sites like Rakuten usually have hanger holes for directly hanging the dress and often come with Velcro to prevent the dress from getting tangled.

This particular dress bag is made from nylon and costs 3,580 yen ♡.

Important Points When Taking Your Dress on Your Honeymoon

If you plan to take your dress on your honeymoon, make sure to check if it complies with the carry-on size regulations!

The sizes allowed for carry-ons can vary slightly depending on the airline, so it's best to confirm before purchasing.

You can also check it as luggage, but concerns about lost baggage during international travel are a real worry. If, by any chance, your precious dress goes missing, it would be heartbreakingly sad, and you wouldn't be able to enjoy your honeymoon...!

So, be sure to choose a dress bag that is the right size for carry-on.
