Does your travel agent have any advise? Sometimes different air carriers have different policies about the best way to store and transport things like this so it is worth finding out  |

Firstly try to get your supplier to pack it for you.
Most Bridal Houses will gladly offer this service.
Just get an extra case and arrange to pick it up the day before departure.
If you do have to pack it yourself be careful as to the type of tissue paper you use. Apparently it must be acid free. Otherwise it can stain the material!
Do wrap the case with "Fragile" tape.
Most airlines give you additional luggage allowances for Bridal Gowns, and they will allow you to take the case with you to the departure gate. This means it is the last item to be placed in the hold.
Hope this helps.

I know that there is a company in birmingham that air seal your dress - so it arrives crease free - and packs in the size of a small handbag!!! My cousin who bought her dress from em - took it up north and come bag with this small plastic cude - and her dress was a size 32 with a train!! I will try and hunt out the number and the company.
