Product Information
Full details
The Adrianna Papell Knit Crepe Long Gown is designed for women who value understated elegance and a refined silhouette for formal occasions like black tie galas or mother of the bride duties. Its primary benefit is the combination of a flattering, structured column fit with the comfort of knit crepe fabric; however, potential buyers should note that the slim cut may require precise sizing to ensure the waistband sits correctly on the frame.

FAQs
What is the primary fabric of this gown?
This gown is made from a knit crepe fabric, which provides a sleek, matte finish with a slight amount of stretch for comfort.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, the knit crepe material is durable and breathable, making it a great choice for evening outdoor events, though you may want a light wrap for cooler temperatures.
How should I clean this dress?
Due to the nature of the knit crepe material and the structured tailoring, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
Can I wear a necklace with the square neckline?
The square neckline pairs beautifully with shorter pendant necklaces or statement earrings, which keep the focus on the collarbone area.
Does the dress have a built-in bra?
This model does not have a built-in bra. It is recommended to wear seamless, nude-colored undergarments or a structural foundation piece to maintain the clean lines of the gown.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the fabric
Use a steamer from a distance of at least 3 inches, or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes to allow wrinkles to relax.
Dress feels too long or loose in the waist
The column silhouette relies on a precise fit; take the garment to a professional tailor to have the hem adjusted or the side seams taken in to match your specific measurements.

- Versatile design suitable for galas, weddings, and formal receptions
- Sophisticated square neckline provides a timeless look
Cons
- Slim column cut offers less room for movement compared to A-line styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the gown retains its shape and finish, proper care is essential.
- Steaming: Since knit crepe can wrinkle during transit, use a hand-held steamer on a low setting to remove creases. Avoid direct iron contact, as high heat can damage the matte texture.
- Cleaning: Dry clean only is recommended to maintain the integrity of the princess seams and the structure of the waistband.
- Storage: Always store the gown on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. Keep it inside a garment bag to protect the fabric from snagging or dust.
- Alterations: If the UK size 16 fit is slightly loose, consult a professional tailor to have the princess seams taken in slightly for a more bespoke experience.
