"So evening gowns and dressy dresses are really important to keep safe. Now if you dry clean it, it comes back in a little plastic bag but after a while, the plastic bag gets all rumbled and dirty so what you need to do is buy garment bags for your closet. Now I'm going to show you what a garment bag looks like. You can get them in any size but this is a very dressy gown and I wear this to weddings and what you need to do is get something that zippers on the side that preserves the air ok, that seals it and this actually is really long because I actually had a coat in here as well, but these garment bags are necessary for closets because you want to make sure that the color doesn't fade from the dress and if you leave it in the closet against other materials, the color over time will fade. So you want to buy about five garment bags like I said and hangers to match so you know exactly where your dressy dresses are and I would put these at the back of your closet before your coats. So, you're going to hang that in between your jackets and this way when you have a function to go to or you have an event you know exactly where your gowns are. The other thing you can do is put your gowns in a specific closet in the front and have your own closet just for dressy things."
