Hi there! I recently bought a beautiful crepe dress that I really love and want to keep for many years. However, I'm not sure of the best way to store it. Should I hang it up or fold it? I've heard that crepe fabric can be delicate, so I don't want to damage it. Is there a certain temperature or environment it should be stored in? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there! I have a bit of experience with storing crepe fabric, so I thought I'd chime in with my advice.
First off, I would suggest folding your crepe dress instead of hanging it. Crepe fabric can be delicate and hanging it could cause stretching or distortion.
When folding, make sure not to crease it too tightly or in the same place repeatedly. You can also add tissue paper in between the folds to prevent any wrinkles.
In terms of storage environment, it's best to store crepe fabric in a cool, dry place with moderate humidity. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or a damp area, as this can cause discoloration or mildew growth.
Overall, with careful handling and storage, your crepe dress should last you for many years. Hope this helps!
Hello! Crepe fabric is a delicate material that needs proper care while storage. In my experience, if you want to store your crepe dress for a long time, you should consider investing in a garment bag. This provides a safe and enclosed environment that prevents dust, moisture, and bugs from damaging your crepe fabric.
When placing your crepe dress in the garment bag, be sure to smooth out any wrinkles and avoid tight creases. If you have to fold it, you may use a layer of tissue paper between each fold to avoid the formation of creases and creases.
It's important to note that the garment bag should be stored in a cool, dry place that is free of humidity and exposure to direct sunlight. If your wardrobe doesn't have enough space for hanging a garment bag, you can store it in a drawer, just remember to avoid overcrowding and folding the fabric too tight.
These storage tips have worked for me in keeping my delicate crepe fabrics in perfect condition. Hope it helps!
