  1. Carry it as hand luggage—your dress stays with you!

Checked baggage? No way! The safest way to travel with your dress is keeping it with you as carry-on luggage. 

✈️ Why hand luggage?  

More control– No risk of lost or delayed baggage!  

Better protection – Your dress won’t be handled by airport staff.  

Most airlines allow it– A carry on suitcase will fit within carry-on size requirements (but always double-check!).  

With our TDR-approved travel packages, your gown is prepped, packed, and ready to go exactly how it should be.  

  1. Wrinkle-free arrival—we’ve got hacks for that!  

Even with the best packing, a few wrinkles may happen—here’s how to refresh your dress instantly:  

✔️ Hang it as soon as you arrive– Gravity helps ease out creases naturally.  

✔️ Use a handheld steamer – A quick pass ensures a flawless look (always test first!).  

✔️ The bathroom steam trick – Hang the gown in a hot shower room—the steam does wonders for soft fabrics.
