FAQ
Stretch crepe combines a subtly textured surface with give, though the amount varies by style. Check your gown’s fabric description and lining details rather than assuming every crepe feels the same. For example, the Train Detail Strapless Gown uses mid-stretch crepe, while the Tie Detail Column Dress uses stretch knit crepe.
Don’t size down just because your gown has stretch. Compare your bust, waist, and hip measurements with the specific brand’s size chart. Your stylist can help interpret differences between brands and consider how closely you want your gown to fit. When trying it on, sit, walk, and raise your arms to check movement and neckline security.
Choose a godet gown if you want a close fit with added fullness toward the hem. Choose a column silhouette if you prefer a straighter skirt line. The Black And White Godet Gown has a square neckline and full lining. The Train Detail Strapless Gown pairs a column shape with boning, a pleated bodice, and a back train.

Follow your gown’s care label, especially its drying instructions. The Black And White Godet Gown permits cold gentle-cycle washing and tumble drying on low. The Tie Detail Column Dress also permits cold gentle-cycle washing, but requires laying flat to dry. Don’t assume two stretch crepe styles need identical care.
