It is most important to keep certain things in mind when you are storing any type of clothing. One is always to remember to keep the clothing dry.
Don’t store the gowns in places that don’t have a good circulation of cool, dry air. Moisture in the air can promote mold growth and mould and grime to grow on the surface of the fabric of your baby girl dresses. This would cause the fibers in the cloth of the dresses to rot; such deterioration will eventually destroy the precious gown.
The baby dresses to be preserved also will need to be wrapped-up in a cotton sheet, when put away. This should allow the babies baby’s dresses to breathe and will prevent the fabric from getting stale. Also, take good care to make sure you keep your baby girl dresses away from extreme temperatures. Extreme cold will cause the fabric in the dress to stress, and eventually deteriorate over time. Extremes of heat can actually cause the fabric to dry out, which will cause it to ‘dry rot’.
Keep away from mice or bugs and don’t let the light in!
Obviously, don’t store them where bugs or mice have easy access to them. Since mice will eat the fabric and bugs will nest inside the fabric, staining and corrupting it. It’s most important to keep your baby girl dresses away from places such as the attic or in outside sheds. Also, it has to be remembered that extreme strong light exposure will damage dresses over time. Exposure to strong sunlight must be avoided at all cost. The fabric in baby girl dresses will break down, and the colors will fade very badly.
Keep your Baby Dresses away from ‘untreated wood’, of any kind.
Another important thing to remember is never, ever put them anywhere near to ‘unfinished wood’, like for instance the inside of a dresser drawer. If it’s unfinished, the wood holds natural acids and chemicals, that will simply ruin the baby girl dresses. If you must do so line it with an ‘acid-free’ paper. This will keep any such harmful chemicals off of your baby girl dresses. But to be really sure try to avoid such locations for baby clothes storage.
Follow the rules and you can keep your Baby Dresses looking like new!
