- Is this gown true to size?
- Oscar de la Renta eveningwear generally runs close to US sizing, but strapless bodices need a snug fit to stay up. Try your usual size and plan on tailoring the bodice if needed.
- What is silk faille like to wear?
- Faille is a crisp, ribbed silk weave with a slight sheen. It holds a structured shape and resists wrinkling better than chiffon or crepe, but it has little stretch.
- How should the feather embroidery be cared for?
- Dry-clean only, and tell the cleaner about the feathers. Store flat or hanging with the trim protected, and avoid pressing the feathered areas.
- Does it work for a black-tie wedding?
- Yes, a floor-length black silk gown suits black-tie and formal evening weddings. Skip it for dress codes that call for color or daytime formality.
- What is in the box?
- The gown only. No wrap, stole or garment bag is included, so plan on a separate cover for storage and travel.
- Where is the Oscar de la Renta Feather Embroidered Point Esprit Strapless Silk Faille Gown - Black cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $8,389.50, as of our latest check.
