Here's an article that is going to guide you through the expert techniques that would keep the intricacies of your garments safe and radiating elegance for years to come.
Why Lehenga Needs Proper Storage for Long Life
Heavy lehenga by VAMA Designs may contain much intricate embroidery, shimmering beads, delicate sequins, as well as rich and luxurious fabrics. Any one part of the clothes-Megha Saree or a black-gold saree-has added beauty to the garment and therefore, the basis of tradition, elegance, as well as a celebration.
However, its longevity depends upon how you keep it. Mishandling causes the fabrics to degrade, discolour and can even ruin the delicate designs with which the lehenga is often adorned. Keeping it in a good condition following some professional storage ways will ensure protecting beauty as well as importance of your lehenga, making it the timeless heirloom, something to be worn over and over again or passed through generations.
How To Store Your Heavily Embellished Lehenga:
Follow these storage tips and maintain the charm of your VAMA Designs Lehenga.
1. Cleaning Before Storage
Ensure that your lehenga is clean before storing:
Professional Dry Cleaning: Ensure you take your lehenga to a professional dry cleaner and inform them about the delicate embroidery, including the detailed stains that are on it.
Spot Cleaning: Use a mild fabric cleaner for minor stains; however, always test first in an inconspicuous area of the fabric to prevent any damage.
2. Choice of Storage Place
The place where you store your lehenga is also important, too:
Cool, Dry Place: Never store your lehenga in damp places like basements and attics which cause molds.
Dark Storage: Light may cause fading to the lehenga. You will be able to store your lehenga in a dark closet or a breathable garment bag to protect it from light.
Dust and Pest-Free: Your storage area should be dust- and pest-free in order to really take care of your delicate fabrics.
3. Techniques for Folding
You are going to hang up a heavy lehenga like your sherwani bridal or jodha lehenga; it will stretch and distort the fabric. Hence, you should properly fold:
Lay flat: Lay the lehenga flat on a clean, smooth surface.
Acid-free tissue paper: This is placed in between the folds because it would wrinkle the lehenga and worse, the embellishments will be damaged.
Fold along joints : Wherever it's possible, fold along the joint lines as that is going to be strongest place there and rest of the areas where tears are expected.
Why can't you hang your Lehengas?
Although it looks the easiest thing to do, you might end up with badly stretched fabric, damage to embroidery, and wrinkles that are fairly stubborn. The heavyweight of a heavily embroidered sherwani bridal or a richly adorned sangeet lehenga might actually pull on the fabric, resulting in distortion. Folded with utmost care and breathable storage is better.
Store In Breathable Materials
A good material of storage is absolutely necessary so that damage to your lehenga's beauty is avoided:
No Plastic Bags: These might retain moisture that would lead to mildew.
Cotton Garment Bags: Cotton garment bags allow for a small amount of airflow due to the fact that they ensure that the lehenga is not exposed to dust.
Muslin Cloths: You can drape your lehenga in muslin cloth to prevent dust while allowing air circulation.
Storage of Accessories
Your bridal outfit would have included a megha saree, choli, or a dupatta. Store them separately and apply proper care techniques as mentioned:
Dupatta: Fold it with acid-free tissue paper and keep it in a breathable bag so it doesn't get creases.
Choli: Keep the choli alongside with the same care taken for the lehenga so that it doesn't degrade.
Jewelry and Accessories: Pack all wedding jewelry and accessories inside the fabric-lined boxes to save them from tarnishing.
Periodic Checks and Maintenance
Even with the best storage, periodic checks are needed:
Regular Inspection: Search for frayed areas, loose threads or pest infestation on your lehenga.
Hang it in the Air: Once in a while, hang your lehenga in a shaded, well-aerated place to keep it fresh.
Professional Storage Facility
If you have multiple heavy lehengas, such as an mastani lehenga or several outfits from the VAMA Heritage collection, you may opt for professional storage:
Climate-Controlled Storage: Professional storage units maintain control over the climate to ensure your garments are safe from humidity, temperature changes, and pests.
Professional Packing: Experts will find the best folding and preservation techniques to keep your garments as secure as possible.
