How to store silk dresses

[hairymcleary]

I am moving internationally next month and after shipping, my stuff will be in storage until we find a house to buy. I have a couple of silk dresses and tops and am just wondering how to/ what to wrap them in to ensure they don't get ruined in storage. Any ideas?

My wedding dress was my mother's before me and in storage (in our attic) for a good thirty-five years. It was just in a very large flat cardboard box (originally for the Lily's which my father, who worked for the airlines had shipped in for her) and wrapped in tissue. It was fine. You just need to check the quality of the storage (ie temperature controlled etc).
