selling my sedding dress- how do you wrap it up?

hi, not really sure if this is the right place to put this but i'm selling my wedding dress and don't know how to parcel it up, have any of you bought a dress from ebay and how was it wrapped up?

    You could buy a cover for it - I think Johnsons Dry Cleaners sell them or a proper wedding dress box filled with non-acidic tissue paper.

    Hi there
    I bought my dress from a seller on ebay, and it came in a cover (similar to a suit cover for men) and then this was in a normal cardboard box.

    No problems with the transit and was in excellent conditions when it arrived

    Hope this helps

    Im have the same question lol.
    My stuff on ebay finishes in 30 mins.
    I have a cover for one, but not the other. Do you think i could just fold it in a box with some tissue paper?
