Preparing occasion wear for a long-distance move

Suits, wedding dresses and delicate occasion wear need individual assessment of their fabrics and decorations. Do not automatically use the method chosen for everyday clothes.

Preparing occasion wear for a long-distance move

Before you start

Read care labels and photograph stains or loose stitching. Ask the maker or a textile-care specialist about suitable protection when necessary.

Practical steps

  • Prevent decorations from catching other fabrics.
  • Choose hanging or flat packing according to the garment's structure.
  • Consider carrying soon-needed clothing separately so it does not depend on the delivery schedule.

Checks on arrival

Open the cover in a clean space. Check suitable care instructions before applying heat to creases or attempting to treat surface problems.

What to include in your quote request

Add the quantity, approximate dimensions and preparation status to your inventory. Include the floor, lift and vehicle access at both addresses. Photos help with the initial assessment. Confirm responsibility for packing, dismantling and reassembly in the written quote.
