Hi Melb81
Thanks for above advice. I am a little worried about taking my daughter's dress to the cleaners too because it is a good lace dress. Do you know what they use in the cleaners to spot clean? The dress is ivory coloured so I would imagine any cleaning solution that has amonia or other whitening agent in it would not suit. Do you think the whole dress needs to be cleaned in some way in view of the fact that it is going to be stored away?
Would like your advice on the best way to store that would protect against moths etc? Many thanks for your time and help. Very much appreciated.
