Nowadays, vintage wedding dresses become more and more popular with many brides who seek to capture the romance and beauty of an earlier age. Most brides-to-be always find vintage wedding dresses in speciality shops that specialize in antique clothing or at used clothing outlets such as Goodwill and Salvation Army Stores.

Yes, your eyes don’t go wrong! since many women treasure their wedding dresses, many have the gowns packed away in attics, cedar chests, and closets. Some families may have more than one vintage wedding dresses available from multiple generations. In my own family, both my mother and great-grandmother's wedding dresses survived into the new century.

Like me, you may have a mother, grandmother, aunt, or other relative who kept their beautiful wedding dress. My mother's gown dated to the mid-1950's and fit me like a glove when I first tried it on. My great-grandmother's dress was vintage 1912, a very romantic style trimmed in lovely handmade lace. With a professional dry cleaning and a little maintenance, both vintage wedding dresses were available for a brand new bride to wear down the aisle.

If Mom or Grandmother didn't have a formal gown or didn't save the wedding dress, don't despair - ask friends and neighbors. Another option is to advertise in the local newspaper or shopper paper for a vintage wedding dress that's stored away. Most former brides will be swayed by the romantic idea that another bride wants to be wed in their special wedding gown.

Cedar lined closets. Can i get away with....?

lining my closets with the thin veneer rolls of cedar that are sold to line dresser drawers?

I too have struggled with moths and their damage over the years. First off, moths almost always lay eggs where some soil exists on a wool or silk item. So make sure everything is as clean as possible all the time. Well, everything wool or silk.

The cedar helps and is a repellent, but even with solid cedar walls, you have to sand it lightly every so often so it will release it's fragrance. So if the veneer is too think to sand at all, it might not do much good esp if you already have eggs on the items.

You can still buy the hanging strips called No Pest Strips at large groceries and hardware stores, also online. About 5 bucks a pop. Buy them and hang in your closets, they do not smell like mothballs, or much of anything for that matter so that is good. Just do not hang them in your bedroom, kitchen etc...just closets.

There is a very good smelling moth killer and egg killer that used to be sold at expensive department stores in an orange and black can...it is prob still around. You can spray it directly on clothes lightly..

.but I have found you a great article, see link below.
