Plastic is a great enemy of fabric as it prevents dress fabric from breathing. Therefore never pack wedding dress in plastic cover.
It is best to wrap it with clean white color cotton sheets and place in a wooden large box seamed with acid-free paper. Wrapping is better than hanging as in hanging there is a risk of loosening of fabric.
Put some lavender sachets or dried neem leaves in the box keeping wedding dress to keep moths away and then seal the box.
Once in a year take out the dress in dry weather only and hang it out in the sun for few hours. Also check if any marks or any other kind of damage has occurred. Before putting back in the box wash the fabric covers with which it is covered.
