Usually a lot of time and effort is put into finding the perfect christening gown or outfit. Once the ceremony is over you?ll want to make sure the gown is stored and preserved safely. There are basically two ways you can do this. The first is to take the gown to a dry cleaner and they can clean an wholesale herve leger seal the gown for you. The second method is to have the christening gown cleaned and then store it in your own preservation bag you can buy yourself. Storing the gown in the vinyl bag it came in is not recommended for long term storage. The chemicals in the bag can lead to discoloration of the delicate fabrics over time.
When dry cleaners preserve the christening gown, they have two methods. One is to seal the gown in a cardboard box which doesn?t allow you to view the gown.

The main reason gowns can yellow is due to the acids released when moisture reacts with the cardboard. There are acid-free cardboard boxes but even these have small amounts of sulfur which can discolor the fabrics.
The other method dry cleaners use is the museum box method. These have been used for years to protect important photographs and documents. The boxes range from simple pink herve leger acid-free washed boxes to perfectly balanced PH boxes and can be very expensive. These boxes are not sealed and allow you to view the christening gown at any time.
The second method is to purchase your own preservation gown bag that is made of unbleached Muslin. This bag is also not sealed allowing you to view the gown. There is a wide overlapping closure with buttons (no zippers) and they come with a hanger that is similarly treated. These are more affordable and will protect the gown from discoloration.
