ACID-FREE WEDDING DRESS STORAGE BOX - STANDARD SIZE

Sale price£105.00
Size:Standard
Standard Large Extra Large

Your wedding dress was made to be kept — properly, carefully and without compromise.

Textile conservators recommend storing wedding dresses in an acid-free, unbuffered storage box to protect them from dust, damp, light, and moths, and to help them last a lifetime. This range is designed using the same museum-grade principles we use in professional conservation, adapted for home storage.

Every box is made from unbuffered, acid-free materials, chosen specifically for delicate, protein-based textiles such as silk, wool, tulle, feathers, leather, and embellishments — materials commonly found in wedding dresses and best kept away from buffered papers and boards.

Each box includes:

  • 20 sheets of premium unbuffered acid-free tissue paper
  • White cotton gloves
  • Clear, conservator-written packing instructions

All boxes are constructed in the UK, delivered fully assembled, and PAT passed to ANSI ISO 18916.

Box or hanging bag?

Hanging keeps a dress upright; this box is designed for storing it flat, gently folded and supported with tissue. Choose enough space for the skirt, layers and train to rest comfortably without compression. Unlike hanging storage, packing in a box involves folds: keep these to a minimum and cushion each one with a soft tissue roll. See our size guide to choose the right fit.

Using the tissue paper

Gently fill the bodice, cups and structured areas with loosely scrunched acid-free, unbuffered tissue, without packing it tightly. Place tissue between skirt layers and soft tissue rolls inside folds to keep them gently curved rather than sharply creased. The dress should sit comfortably in the box, never compressed. Follow the included packing instructions or our care guide for the full method.

Choose your size

All three sizes are designed to store wedding dresses flat, gently folded with tissue to prevent hard creases. The right size depends on the volume of fabric, layers, and train length.

Whether you call it a wedding dress storage box, a preservation box or a conservation box, this is the same thing: an unbuffered, acid-free archival box of the kind used to house costume collections at the V&A and the National Trust, sized for a dress at home.

Standard

76.2cm (L) × 45.7cm (W) × 15.2cm (H)

Suitable for most dresses with lighter fabrics, fewer layers, or minimal trains.

Large

101.6cm (L) × 45.7cm (W) × 15.2cm (H)

Ideal for fuller skirts, additional fabric layers, or longer trains that benefit from extra length without additional depth.

Extra Large

104.1cm (L) × 45.7cm (W) × 25.4cm (H)

Designed for voluminous dresses with multiple layers, structured skirts, or heavy embellishment, where additional depth allows fabric to rest without compression.

Why this box works

Wedding dresses are often made from delicate, protein-based materials — silk, wool, tulle, feathers, and embellishments — that benefit from unbuffered conservation-grade storage.

The Kept Method: read the conservator's guide — How to store your wedding dress: the conservator's complete guide and Why acid-free storage boxes matter (and why buffered isn't always better).

Construction

  • 1300gsm unbuffered grey board for structural support
  • A white, lignin-free interior to prevent colour transfer
  • Rust-proof metal edges, providing strength without adhesives

Unbuffered

Many cherished items — wedding dresses, silk accessories, leather goods, embellished pieces — are made from protein-based materials that can be harmed by buffered papers and boards. That’s why all of our storage boxes are unbuffered and lignin-free, offering the most appropriate level of protection for delicate textiles and mixed materials.

Standards

All boxes are PAT passed to ANSI ISO 18916 and built in the UK to professional archival standards.
