Baptism or Christening Gown Preservation

Christening Gown Preservation is Key to Starting Family Tradition

Christening gown preservation is not as complicated as most people think. In fact, it's quite simple which is good since it's essential if you want your baby's gown or outfit to be preserved for future generations starting a new family tradition.

Here are some things to ABSOLUTELY AVOID when storing the gown or outfit.

Storage bags with metal zippers or snaps which can corrode over time.

Vinyl or plastic bags - fabric is not allowed to 'breathe' thus causing fading or yellowing and plastics can contain chemicals causing damage over the years.

Wire hangers which can also leave marks on the fabric over time.

Paper boxes and tissue unless they are guaranteed to be acid-free.

Storage should not take place in hot places such as attics or in damp places such as basements. Instead select a cool, dry place such as a closet or cedar chest.

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS...we have the perfect cost-effective solution for you that will make your gown preservation a breeze.

It's a 100% unbleached muslin christening gown preservation bag which allows fabric to breath while protecting the gown or outfit from dust, dirt, light and chemical contamination. Instead of zippers or snaps, it has a wide overlapped button closure for full protection. Included with each bag is a fully covered muslin padded hanger with vinyl covered hook.

This bag makes access to the outfit or gown easy and quick without breaking the preservation seal used by many dry cleaners. Keepsake accessories can even be stored in the bottom of the bag to also preserve them.

This bag comes in two sizes accommodating the differences between boy christening outfits and girl christening gowns.

Be sure to follow any and all laundering instructions on the outfit. If you are allowed to hand-wash, be sure to use a enzymatic cleaner making sure that the garment has been thoroughly rinsed of the cleaner and is completely dry before placing in the storage bag.
