Thats all. Maybe a little bit too long? Okay, if
Yesterday was my 20th birthday. My parents bought a beautiful for me several days ago. I put it on happily for the party in the evening. However, it was raining heavily on my way to the hotel where my birthday party would be held. At this time, I saw a grandpa looking quite worried at a crossing. Then I went over and asked if there was any problem. He said that the rain had blocked his way home and it was difficult for him to go across the road by himself. Looking at him, I felt really sympathy. Though I couldn’t wait to be with my friends at the party, I decided I should help the grandpa firstly. I took his arm and put the umbrella over his head. Just when we were about to reach the other side of the road, a car rushed towards us. Fortunately, it pulled off in time. What an emergency! However, my beloved prom dresses was spotted. My heart ached so much that I was almost to cry. I turned back, seeing a peaceful face. That was when I realized everything was worthy. The dirty dress could be cleaned again while life would never come again once we lost it. After we finally crossed the road, I felt so relieved.
There is no doubt that I was late for my own party. I told my parents and friends about the situation on the road. They were all quite supportive. They said that I had grown up and that lace back dress was what mattered most. Looking at my spotted prom dresses, I smiled. I admit that a perfect birthday party was what I had expected, but nothing could be compared with the happiness from helping others. Perhaps that is the true meaning of growth and the dress also presented another kind of beauty.
Affordable Wedding Dress Preservation Guide
As an eyewitness to your big day, your wedding dress, no matter it is a discount & cheap wedding dress or a name brand one, symbolizes an everlasting memory in your life. Now that your wedding is over, you might want to keep your dress and hand it down to generations, or just for some sentimental reasons, which calls for certain preservation measures. If properly preserved, your wedding dress can look the same after 20 years, maybe even longer. Next, Id like to tell you how-to.
The first step in the proper care of your wedding dress is to have it cleaned. After wedding, dont let your wedding dress stay in the plastic garment bag with good intentions of cleaning it soon. People always recall the thing after weeks, and then years due to busy life. This procrastination poses some serious risks, yellowing and oxidation spots for instance, to your wedding dress. Ideally, cleaning should be done within days of wedding. In fact, therere lots of cleaning ways for your wedding dress, all claiming to be the best but do pay attentions to the following cases:

If it does happen, compensation is useless since the damage is permanent. Therefore, DONT take your wedding dress to the dry cleaner if it has pearls, crystals, or other decorative details on the bodice.
We also get complains from brides whose wedding dresses contaminated by other dresses because the wholesale cleaners usually clean, no matter it is a discount & cheap wedding dress or a name brand one, in large volume (about 30 at once) with little attention given to pre-treating or spotting.
All right, next comes our Wedding Dress Preservation Options:
1.Sealing
A popular way is to preserve in an acid-free box with a front window to make the inside wedding dress visible. Acid-free tissue is usually used to buffer the folds and a cardboard shape is often used to fill the bodice area of the dress. The reason we recommend the sealing method is the dress needs to be protected from oxygen.
Sealing method is economical and practical and the cost is always under 60 dollars. The only problem is, sealing a wedding dress puts it at the risk of permanent creasing damage. Any way, it is one way of affordable wedding dress preserving.
2.Boxed Preservation
Boxed preservation is based on similar principle to the sealing method but has some important differences. Unlike the sealing method, sharp creases are avoided in a specially made box and acid free tissue is used to buffer the folds. Since the box is not sealed, the fabric can still breathe. Therefore, you will be able to refold your wedding dress periodically. This will help prevent it from getting permanent creases.
Getting a preservation box usually cost you 100 to 150 dollars.
3. Bagging
It is actually similar to simple prom dresses the Museum Method and can be an ideal option, as it protects your wedding dress from dust and light. The dress remains un-folded, so permanent creasing risks are reduced. The bag also allows the dress to breathe, which is essential in protecting the dress from mold and mildew. A bagged dress is the easiest to inspect periodically and requires no re-folding as the boxed method does.
Bagging is our ultimate recommendation since it black one shoulder dress has the highest cost-effective-About 100 dollars for more than 50 years preservation, sounds great!
