	Have your cleaner pack the gown in a special storage box that will help prevent contamination. Store your gown in a cool, dry place. Do not store it in a basement or attic. Basement dampness can cause mildew; attic heat could promote yellowing of the fabric. If you are storing a long gown on a hanger, sew straps to the waistline of the dress to relieve pressure on the shoulders from the weight of the skirt. Wrap the dress in a protective white sheet or muslin covering. Whether the gown is hung or boxed, the bodice should be stuffed with white acid-free tissue paper to prevent wrinkles. Fabric-covered buttons, pins, and foam padding should be removed and stored separately to avoid damage to the fabric. Never store headpieces, veils, shoes or other accessories with your gown. Inspect your gown from time to time during storage. Stains not initially apparent could appear later, and should be tended to immediately.
