Re: how to store wedding sharara?
I don't know what the "best" way is. Mine is folded carefully, wrapped in cotton, and stored ina trunk with most of my heavy clothes from bari and jahez.
Re: how to store wedding sharara?
Mine is wrapped up in a cotton sheet, then in a large storage bag and in a box. Been 12 years and it's still in perfect condition!
Re: how to store wedding sharara?
Try large sheets of tissue paper, tht u can get to wrap presents with. just make sure it's white tissue paper so it doesn't stain the clothes...
Re: how to store wedding sharara?
OMG runs away to store her lengha properly
Does it matter what type of kaam is on it? Does certain kaam go black faster than other? :aq:
well the main reason i store my outfits like this is so the fabric doesn’t get damaged other wise i get the kaam work sticking to the fabric (i hope u get what im trying to say:konfused:)
Re: how to store wedding sharara?
Mine is wrapped in a few cotton sari's and put away in a suitcase along with my valima and mehendi outfits.
I wrapped my wedding outfits in plastic wrap with some onion seeds (kalonji) in it and put them in suitcase, my cousin told me that kalonji prevents cloths from bugs etc so my dresses are in fine condition.

abhi tu app shia./sunni nikkah ki baat kar rahe thae on ther thread...shadi ho gae kia?...lol
Dry-cleaning it before storing it is a great idea... wrap it in cotton and place it in a plastic bag then a box to which u've added a few cloves. (don't like the smell of moth balls!) this keeps aways all the bugs!
Re: how to store wedding sharara?
I wrap mine in natural lavender scented drawer liners (bcos apparently lavender is a natural moth repellant) and store it in its original cardboard box. Indian friend told me to air it in the hot sunshine once a year, so i do. Its been fine so far.

In a couple of bin bags at the back of my wardrobe :D
Re: how to store wedding sharara?
as others said,white tissue paper between the folds then wrapped up in white cotton fabric placed in a plastic bag and then in a cardboard box which is inside a suitcase...

Re: how to store wedding sharara?

Re: how to store wedding sharara?
Just found a few tips and had to share:
Embalming your wedding dress, your great-grandmother’s handmade
quilt, or a valuable old tapestry in one of those cardboard boxes with
a cellophane window could be a costly mistake. No fabric should
remain folded in a sealed box for years, and cellophane windows can
trap damaging moisture. Storing fine textiles is not difficult: Do the job
correctly and preserve your precious garments for decades.
WEDDING DRESS
*** Step 1**
Have the dress professionally cleaned as soon as possible. Some stains, such as sweat and perfume, may be invisible at first but will darken with time if not removed.
Choose between box and hanger storage. Keeping the dress in a box may prove to be more practical, but hanging the garment in a closet is the best way to prevent difficult-to-remove creases. Purchase plenty of acid-free tissue paper. You’ll need it whether you fold or hang the dress. (Please let me know too, if you manage to find this kind of tissue paper in Karachi.)
Line an acid-free cardboard box with acid-free tissue paper if you are storing the garment in a box. Lay the hem in the box first and then fold the dress accordion-style, placing crumpled tissue paper between each fold. Stuff the inside of the bodice and sleeves with crumpled tissue. Layer more tissue on top and cover with the box lid.
Wrap a wide hanger with cotton batting if you are hanging the garment, then cover it with muslin. Hang the dress and stuff the bodice, sleeves and any deep folds in the fabric with acid-free tissue. Cover the dress with a muslin garment bag and hang it in a cool, dry closet. Take care not to crush it with other clothing.
Check the dress’s condition each year. If boxed, repack so the folds are in different places; if hung, wash the muslin cover.
TIPS:
Found some Wedding Travel Boxes for Overhead lockers/Restricted Hand Luggage/Cars. Maybe they’ll be useful for people who want to travel to other place to shop for their wedding attire.

Ugh! that is why I always get my expensive outfits dry cleaned before storing them. In any case, please ask the dry-cleaner whether they can take care of the stain/fungus. If not, then you can cut it up, get rid of the offending bits and make a little kameez for the pretty little princess at home (if you have one). :)
