Basic Storage Preparation
Hanger: Use a wide-shouldered, seamless pure cotton cloth hanger. Avoid using thin wire hangers as they may cause snagging and creasing.
Dust Bag: Choose breathable pure cotton or non-woven dust bags. Avoid plastic bags — lack of breathability can cause mold and yellowing.
Storage Environment: Place in a cool, dry wardrobe, away from direct sunlight, heating, and air conditioning outlets. Avoid storing with camphor pills, perfume, or other strong-smelling objects, which can cause yellowing and odor absorption.

Short-Term Storage (1–3 Months)
Hang the thoroughly dried wedding dress on a cloth hanger. Organize the mesh of the skirt and collar to avoid wrinkles.
Put on a breathable and dust-proof bag. Hang it on the middle layer of the wardrobe — do not squeeze it, and do not place sharp objects (such as zippers or metal jewelry) around it.
Headcloth: Spread flat in a clean cotton cloth bag and place it inside the wedding dust bag to avoid hanging or pulling.

Long-Term Storage (Collection / Wedding Anniversary)
Forming Treatment: First, iron the mesh to form it (see method below), ensuring that there are no wrinkles.
Wedding Dress: Wrap the mesh parts — especially the collar and skirt — with acid-free paper (museum-grade collection paper to prevent yellowing), then hang it in a dust bag.
Head Veil: Gently roll the head veil into a cylindrical shape (do not fold — avoid creases), wrap it with acid-free paper, and place it in a dedicated storage box. Put 1–2 packs of desiccant inside the box to prevent mold growth.
Regular Inspection: Open the dust bag or storage box every 3–6 months. Ventilate for half an hour. Check if the mesh is yellowed, moldy, or tangled, and verify whether the desiccant is still effective.
