The Basics: DIY Wedding Gown Care—Before, During and After the Wedding
Tip 1: Silk or not? Every bride should know the answer to that question. The fabric of your gown is everything. Silk is a hollow fiber so when you spill something on silk or other natural fibers such as cotton and linen, the spill bonds with the fiber and acts like a dye. Even water is absorbed by natural fibers and leaves marks. Silk also crushes more easily for the same reason. On the other hand, spills can roll right off artificial fibers, and a damp cloth is sometimes all you need to remove a stain. Plus most wrinkles shake out easily.<
