How to Preserve Your Wedding Lehenga

You took weeks, probably months, to prepare your wedding lehenga – chose the fabric carefully, went through thousands of designs till you were satisfied, provided different instructions and measurements to the designer, and spent half a lakh at the least – all for to wear it for a day and then wonder what to do with it for a lifetime? Well, we have the perfect remedy for it.

In this blog, we will tell you how to store your gorgeous wedding lehenga so that you can wear it many more times in the future and even pass it on to your legacy. 


Best Way to Preserve Your Wedding Dress

Dry Clean it Immediately After Use

As soon as the wedding functions are over, give your wedding dress for dry cleaning to remove any stain and odor. Many believe that washing the dress removes its auspiciousness; however, sweat, grass, food, and mud stain can spoil it, and it will be of no good afterward. 


Steam Iron any Visible Creases Before Storing 

It is important to remove all creases before storing your dress. Therefore, steam iron the wedding outfit at the lowest temperature by placing a muslin or cotton cloth in between. 


Fold Your Dress Neatly (Do not Hang)

Ask an expert to do this job. You must fold the lehenga carefully and perfectly to avoid creases and wrinkles in unwanted areas. Also, it is advisable to fold the wedding dress instead of hanging it. Hanging is only recommended if you wish to frame your dress as a piece of art. Folding your lehenga will keep it intact and preserve the quality of fabric and its work.


Tips for Folding:

-   Start with the blouse sleeves


-   Fold the dress inwards


-   Fold the skirt in small folds, starting from the outer edges


-   Place butter paper in between to prevent entangling


-   Fold the dress along the panel lines


Wrap the Lehenga in a Muslin Cloth

Muslin cloths protect the fabric from moisture and stains. Use a soft and unbleached muslin cloth to wrap the dress. The muslin cloth should be large enough to cover the entire dress. 


Store in Cardboard Box

Storing the dress in acid-free, odorless cardboard will prevent fabric and embroidery discoloration.


Additionally, it is important to store the cardboard in the right place – somewhere safe, unfrequented, and away from moisture, under the bed or in a large cupboard probably.
