At home Wedding Dress Preservation - limiting deterioration of lace?
I would like to preserve (at home + low cost) my grandmother's 50 year old wedding dress I recently wore in my own wedding?
The dress is basically tons of lace and tulle...Limiting deterioration of lace is my main objective.
Any hints or links?
The most important thing to do is make sure the dress is completely spotless. Here's a link with all the info you need!
