The christening dress that is passed down from generation to generation is very special like the christening itself. Dedicating a child to god with the same outfit that was worn by the family members many years ago gives such a moment of joy to the parents. So, preserving a christening dress would be very important. The christening dresses should not be store in hot places like the attic or the basement. It should always be stored in cold places. Also storage bags with zippers should be avoided because this would corrode over time. Hangers of wire would leave a mark on the christening dresses. So, this also should be avoided.
The gown should first be washed according to the fabric and the instructions given in the tag. The best storage bag that could be used is the 100% unbleached muslin. This would help the protection of the dress. It is a wonderful family tradition that would be followed for many generations to come. The christening gowns could be maintained as a special treasure of the family. This would be the outfit that a mother would take so much responsibility in maintaining after her wedding gown. A quality christening gown that is treasure for generation would surely be a treasure of nostalgic memories to the entire family.
