    it should have been sold to you in a breathable bag, but you can buy one from any wedding dress shops, that should air your dress and make the smell dissapear. x

    aslo as a precausion you can get dihumidefier (cant spell it) and air neatralisers for clothes bags and suitcases. this will take care of any smell that do occur and should also stop the dress staining it it does sweat a little xxx

    You can get loads of little scented bags etc, but I wouldn't really advise using them as they could make it smell too strong and clash with your perfume on the day. Can you get anything from Febreze or someone that just neutralises odour and doesn't give off a powerful smell? Lakeland can be good for things like this...

    you can make an odor neutraliser yourself. backing soda works, put it in a small tub with some holes in the top and pop it in the bottom of the dress bag. or do the same with charcaol briquettes (make sure lid is secure, dont want black on your dress!!!!!). and also febreeze tumble dryer sheets, stick as many of those in as you like. hope that helps a little xxx

    hi paula, most wedding dress shops offer a pre retail for about £30 this preps your dress for the wedding and think once thay have prepped it you get nice breathable bag to put it in good luck xx

    get the little pouches that come in your new shoes and bags and drop them in the bottom of the breathable bag to absorb the moisture and smells
    and make sure there is nothing smelly in the the place you are storing your dress
