    It sounds a bit weird, but I used a duvet cover! It covered the dress completely, and there was room at the top to put the hanger through in between the buttons.

    Might not work if you're taking it abroad, but mine just had to go from the dress shop, into the car, out at home, then back in the car to the venue.

    HTH.

    As i have my dress already the lady told me to hang it up and use a duvet cover,with it being 12 months until we get married,even though my dress came in a protected bag u know like what suits come in she told me to take it out of that and use a single duvet cover

    Thats was one of the only things I didnt buy from ebay! :rotfl:

    I too couldn't decide which one from ebay and ended up buying mine from the dry cleaners. Obviously all dry cleaners prices vary but mine cost £7.50 and is a sort of canvassy sort of material iykwim! I dont think I would go for the plastic ones, anything that is material should be breathable, and I would imagine a duvet cover would do the job just fine, wish I had thought of that!
