How to pack a Princess dress

[jodeeb]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to pack the fluffy princess dress? Its Sleeping Beauty and size 8 so it is quit big. I dont want to damag it, but it really takes a lot of room and leaves glitter on things. I thought of putting it in a zip lock storage bag, but I am afraid it will be all crinkled when we get there. Any ideas or experience? Thanks

I want to know this as well! I plan to put it in a large plastic bag for the glitter factor, but I'm wondering about the crushing factor?

I've always packed my DD princess gowns in a gallon size ziplock bag. I fold it up carefully and press the bag to release the air, then zip it closed. When arriving at the hotel, I remove the dresses and hang up. I've never had problems with wrinkles or loosing sparkles.

HTH!

I put layers of tissue paper on the dress and then fold the dress up with the tissue inside the folded part. I also stuff some tissue in the sleeves. I put it in a zip lock bag and don't flatten the bag out too much.

The tissue really helps to keep the dress from wrinkling.

I packed my daughters princess dresses and my dressy dresses in a garmet bag. They traveled from the plane to bus to hotel back to the bus to the cruise with nary a wrinkle and no damage.

This would be my suggestion as well. You may need one of the oversized ziplocs. The tissue paper does a great job of taking the hit on the wrinkles.

gallon ziploc works great!! If it won't fit use one of those xL ones.

I'm thinking the garment bag will work best for us. Seems obvious, but never crossed my mind.
