Bridal Gown Preservation: How to Keep your Dress in Perfect Condition
Your wedding is now a wonderful memory. And that bridal gown that you searched high and low for? Well, it's now the priciest piece of clothing hanging in your closet.
You may never wear that gown again, but are you ready to let it stand in the closet, with the stains of your reception setting in? Are you willing to hand it over to the moths to consume? Or are you interested in keeping your gown in perfect condition on the off-chance that you will want to wear it to renew your vows, use it to make christening gowns for your grandchildren, or let your daughter wear it on her trip down the aisle? If you answered yes to any of those options, you need to preserve your gown.
Find a Preservationist
Start thinking about preserving your dress even before you purchase it. Ask the bridal salon you visit for references. Ask friends and family members who they used. If they suggest you take it to the dry cleaner down the street, keep asking other people until you find a local specialist. Many places can clean your dress, but few can preserve it for future generations.
And do not wait too long after the wedding to get your dress preserved. The longer you wait, the more set in the stains become - especially mud and wine - two common offenders.
What is involved?
A preservationist will clean and package your gown with the future in mind. First, all stains will be removed. You may think you did not spill anything on your dress, but a quick look at most trains and hems reveals otherwise.
Some preservationist use a wet cleaning method that involves gently washing the gown by hand with gentle cleansers. This will remove simple stains, like champagne or cake. (If you do not remove this kind of stain, the fabric will eventually turn yellow.)
Other preservationists prefer a dry-cleaning treatment. They will pre-treat the stains and then dry clean the gown. This system involves the use of solvents or petroleum-based cleansers.
Once the gown is stain free, it is wrapped in acid-free tissue paper or unbleached muslin and packaged in an acid-free or pH-neutral box. Most boxes have a viewing window, which does not affect the preservation one way or the other.
After you pick up your gown, store the box in a neutral environment - one that is not too hot or too damp. A top closet shelf is probably a safe choice. A damp basement or a closet above the heating unit are poor choices.
Packing Other Mementos
Often brides want to package other items with their gowns - such as shoes, invitations, even jewelry worn that day. If that is the case, ask your preservationist for advice. It may be that the items are fine to include. Or, it may be that they should be packaged in acid-free envelopes to preserve them properly - and then tucked alongside the dress.
I Want to See It
Most preservationists agree that preserving the clean dress is the most important step. In most cases, the box does not have to be permanently sealed to keep out mice and insects. If that is the case, and you long to take a look at your dress years later, there are some steps to take. No, you do not have to wear white gloves, but you should wash your hands, as the oils on your skin could linger on the gown and cause yellowing in time.
What to Pay
The cost of preserving your gown should depend on the materials, the ornamentation of the dress and the stain damage. If someone gives you a flat price without asking about the materials or ornamentation, keep looking. You do not want an across-the-board preservation. You want one customized to your dress. Most people pay between $200 and $400, but costs can exceed that depending on the gown and location.
Do It Yourself
Your safest route is to get a professional to preserve your gown. If you are adamant that you can do it yourself, there are some tricks to the trade.
· Do not keep your dress in plastic from the dry cleaners. Neither should you store it in the plastic bag that it came home in from the bridal salon. Plastic can cause permanent wrinkles and trap moisture, which encourages mildew to form.
· Use white, acid-free tissue paper or unbleached muslin to pack your dress. Do not turn to ordinary tissue paper, as it contains acids, which could scar your gown.
· Do not use colored tissue paper. If the box becomes wet, it could stain your gown. Red tissue paper is fine at Christmas, but makes for an ugly wedding dress.
· Another trick is to wrap the gown in a white sheet or pre-washed unbleached muslin and placing it in a large, flat box under your bed. If you decide later to preserve your gown, you have done little harm.
The best advice is to include the cost of preserving your gown in your wedding budget. It may seem silly now, but it will not years later.

I have a 2004 180cc bajaj pulsar in perfect condition. How much can i get if i sell it?
new tires, new head lamp assembly, new chain sprocket clutch disk clutch plate, new silencer, well painted and no scratches, perfect condition veichle with 60 kmpl mileage (for sure).
60 kmpl on a 180cc 2004?? Whoa... looks like you are a good sales person. Consider yourself to be happy if you are getting about 35-40 kmpl. Anyways, if your bike is giving that kind of a mileage, and looks like you've spent enough on the bike, why do you want to sell it? I also have a 2004 180cc DTSI without mags with original, scratch free black color, genuinely done 23567 kms, with a mileage of around 40 kmpl, people are quoting prices like 17000-19000. Sell it off if you get a quote anywhere between 22 - 25k. That is the best ever price it might fetch you. But, honestly, looking at the amt of money you've already spent on the bike, retain it and buy another if you are looking for a new bike. I guess getting around 15 - 20k is worthless. I've decided to retain it and also have a ZMA 2008.
