hangingKeeping your dresses clean and wrinkle-free throughout the year is not always an easy task. Whether it’s a plus size sexy party dress for special occasions, or the sundress for warmer weather, keeping your favorite dresses in the best condition year round takes some maintenance.  Dresses should always be hung up, and kept in a cool, dry place.  Most closets are suitable for this, but be careful if you live in a tropical climate; the basement might be more suitable than your room.  Ensure where you hang your dress it is not pressing against other things, as this will case wrinkles to form. Also be mindful of moths and other pests (it’s unlikely if you traffic the area often, but these can ruin clothing fast).

When you wear your dress, immediately hang it up after you’re done with it; this will ensure that no wrinkles form, and that it stays clean.
