What is a walk-thru gown?

It is a floor-length gown with a skirt designed to open or split so you can walk, climb stairs and sit without hiking the hem. On the Blaire it keeps the sheath silhouette while adding movement.

Is the Blaire gown good for a black-tie wedding?

Yes. A satin floral maxi with a square neckline fits black-tie and formal dress codes. Pair it with heels and a clutch; add a wrap for outdoor or evening ceremonies.

Satin in polyester. It has a sheen and holds shape well, but it breathes less than silk, so it suits indoor events better than hot outdoor ones.

Does it come in plus sizes?

Yes. The Blaire is offered in regular and plus size ranges. Check the size chart before ordering, since formal sheath cuts run close to the body.

How should I care for a polyester satin gown?

Follow the care label; most polyester satin gowns are hand wash or dry clean only. Steam rather than iron on high heat to avoid shine or scorching.

When is the best time to buy a formal gown?

Formal gowns are usually discounted after major event seasons and around holiday sales. Ask our agent to watch the price and flag drops.

About the Kay Unger Blaire Walk Thru Gown

The Kay Unger Blaire is a sleeveless satin sheath gown in a floral print, cut to maxi length with a square neckline. The 'walk-thru' design is the draw: the skirt opens for movement and ease, which matters in a floor-length sheath. It comes in regular and plus sizes. It is a formal piece for weddings, galas and black-tie events rather than a versatile everyday dress.
