What’s next for your dress?

There are many options to consider on the day after your wedding

You've shopped for the gown, been fitted and refitted, then gotten married in it. But there’s still one big decision to make. Some brides choose to carefully store their gown in order to preserve it as something to hand down to future generations, or even simply as a heartfelt memento. Others choose to resell or donate the dress so that someone else can enjoy it on their own big day. Which is right for you? Consider these crucial questions. LONG-TERM STORAGE Storage is an option for those with an intent to one day pass along the dress to a daughter or other family member. You may also be the sentimental type who’d like to have it as a keepsake. If so, you can’t simply tuck the gown away in the back of the closet, much less in your damp and musty attic or basement. You’ll need to first get a garment professional to properly clean and store the dress for future use. They also recommend special storage bags or compartments. This will extend the life of the gown, while making sure it doesn’t become faded, infested or frayed – mishaps that can happen even during a short amount of time in storage.

Coats for the winter

Rotary Club of Moses Lake provides jackets to children in need

MOSES LAKE — If there was a perfect day to give away winter clothes to needy kids, Saturday — with its freezing rain atop two weeks of snow — was it. It was quite a change from Nov. 5, when the event was originally scheduled. Then, the temperature averaged in the 40s, and no snow was on the ground. “You know, when we first started, in comparison with last year, the weather was really warm,” said Alex Town, one of the organizers of this year’s Coats For Kids drive overseen by the Rotary Club of Moses Lake. “So we felt that a lot of families probably weren’t digging into their closets and looking at what coats they had.” ...
