Before you even think of dress bags & boxes & acid free paper you gotta start with the dress…
And those hanging loopy things that we all hate.
If your gown is strapless they’re the only things that’ll keep your dress on a hanger.. don’t be folding it over a hanger like a pair of trousers 😑
If your gown though has shoulders or straps… it still needs those loops…
ESPECIALLY if those shoulders/straps are mesh and/or beaded.
Many wedding gowns are heavy… and all that weight needs a bit more than fine mesh to hold it up.
YES those Hangy loopy thingys….
They’re attached to all bar the outer layer.. either at underarm or waist… & THEY are what take the weight…
