Help! Need Advice On Best Way To Store The Dress 11 Months Pre-Wedding

So the bridal store has agreed to store the dress for me until spring of 2015 which was great but now my time is up. I'm picking it up next weekend and need your advice in the best way to store it. I was initially going to store it at my mom's but if anyone has been to a Filipino house, the whole house tends to smell like food. Fried food to be exact! It smells great but not the smell I want on my wedding dress. So we're going to keep it at our house and my FI has promised not to look at it. He's trustworthy so no worries there! But what's the best way to store it? Hanging or laying flat? Type of bag? Do I need to take it out to "breathe" and how often? I plan on asking the store but thought I'd ask my bridal friends for advice too! Thanks in advance 😘

I was told by the bridal shop I bought my dress from to just hang it in the bag, out of direct sunlight.

Holy shit I would have freaked out!!! Good thing it wasn't damaged!!! Ya I don't think anything special is needed. However I'm wondering how I'm gonna set it up without my man seeing it! He will have to leave our rental unit!

I had mine for 8 months before. Just kept it hung up in it's bag in the closet and it was 100% fine for the wedding
