It's natural to want to save those baby clothes that were worn on special occasions like christenings, the trip home from the hospital, and baby's first birthday. The key to keeping special baby clothes looking nice is in the storage.
It is important to use high-quality, archival materials to store items of such importance. These special baby clothes should be wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, which keeps the fabric from yellowing.
While storing the wrapped clothes in a canvas box will give you plenty of protection, a metal box will give you the ultimate protection. This ensures the special item stays free from bugs and rodents.
Label the box with the what's inside, the date of the event, and which child wore it if you plan to have more than one baby. Attach a snapshot of the items also; this will prevent unnecessary opening and closing of the box.
Finally, store the box in a cool, dark, dry area of the house. By following these simple steps, you should be able to keep your son's christening outfit in pristine condition.
