Gwyn Ideal Rock Total Posts: 745 Last Post: 2/8/2009 Member Since: 1/5/2007	So, I spoke to the dress shop about picking up my dress when it is done with alterations and they said that i need to bring a white sheet or something to wrap the dress in when i pick it up. that it would not be in a bag. Is this normal?

Whether or not a shop gives you a real dress bag with the dress is probably very individual to the shop. I found a white dress bag on ebay for pretty cheap. It's more like a thin cloth than plastic, so there's no funny smell and it lets the dress breathe. Let me see if I can find the seller... Ok, the guy I bought it from isn't selling anymore, but this looks like exactly the same bag. ********************** Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same. - Emily Brontë

Look for the ones that are 72". My dressmaker had made a muslin bag that the dress was kept in while she was working on it, but I wanted something more waterproof!

A slightly heavier bag with zipper was $10 and I was sick of getting nickeled and dimed by them so I went with the free one. I had alterations done by a lady who does it professionally out of her home. She told me to bring a sheet to pick it up in. She had the dress bag but she says this is a better way to do it, not sure why. I thought she was being eccentric but now you make me wonder!
