How do I pack these 2 dresses?
The good news about dress #1 is that is is polyester and therefore does not wrinkle much. I would put it in a dry cleaning bag to protect the beading. You can wrap tissue around this area for additional protection, if you want to. I would put the pouffy dress in one of the short garment bags. I would then put both in the duffel. Put shoes in shoe bags or large ziplocs. Stuff the bodice of the pouffy dress with undergarments and other clothing to support the boning. Keep the heavier shoes where they will be at the bottom end of the duffel when it is rolling. Some steaming my be needed at you destination no matter what you do.
