When finding the perfect evening gown or jumpsuit, one of the most common characteristics people look for is comfortability. Comfortability is important because when you are at a wedding reception, after party, work drinks or a boat party you want to be enjoying your evening and not have to worry about being uncomfortable with the gown you have chosen. Therefore, stretch crepe fabric is the perfect choice for an evening gown that will ensure comfort and elasticity all night long. Stretch crepe gowns will help you to feel confident.
Crepe is a lightweight and extremely soft fabric. The added use of elastane in the fabric forms the stretch properties in the fabric. The stretchability provides extra comfort for the wearer as the fabric can stretch and recover its shape. Stretch crepe fabrics are used for evening wear as they allow for fluidity and movement, this is due to the ability to drape against the body creating flattering silhouettes. Crepe fabrics also have a long life expectancy, they require little to no ironing and are resistant to dust and moisture. What does this mean? Your stretch crepe gowns can be pulled out of your wardrobe at any time, always ready to wear.
Stretch Crepe Care
We always recommend reading the care label for instructions about how to care for your stretch crepe gowns or jumpsuits as each product is different and there might be slight differences in the instructions. For gowns or jumpsuits with sequin embellishments or chiffon sleeves, make sure to take extra care when reading the care label. Generally stretch crepe gowns are a gentle hand wash and dry clean only. It is important to follow the care instructions as stretch crepe is delicate with the appearance having a matte slightly textured finish that can be damaged if the wrong washing or drying methods are used.
Styling Tips
Stretch crepe fabric is beautiful for an evening gown or a two tone sequin jumpsuit. Heavier stretch crepe fabrics can also be used for pants and tailored suits that need structure with a bit of stretch for comfort. Style a jumpsuit with silver earrings as well as a battered silver bangle for an elegant metallic shine throughout your look. Nude or black heels are always a staple for long pants or a jumpsuit. A stretch crepe cocktail dress can be styled with a pop of colour on the ear or with a bold pair of heels.
Dresses For The Occasion
Stretch crepe fabric combines aesthetic appeal and functional properties to create an extremely well rounded fabric that looks remarkable for gowns and jumpsuits. Stretch crepe fabrics are perfect for wedding guest dresses, modern brides and mother of the brides. Stretch crepe allows for a minimalist look with a sleek finish and moderate drape. Stretch crepe is a seasonless fabric as it has the ideal thickness for summer or winter weddings as well as being highly versatile as it can be styled and layered in many different ways.
