Exquisite MOB or MOG dress!

"This is the most exquisite dress!! It's elegant and classy and formal without being overdone. The material is wonderful: a nice weight crepe that drapes beautifully but doesn't weigh you down. The stretch is great, too - it moves with you and regains its shape. I doubt that it will wrinkle either. I ordered a 16P, and I'm 5'1"" and 150 lbs. The photo is of me in a 16R, but the Petite fits much better through the body. It's very slimming on. I'm wearing it for my daughter's wedding and I'm so glad I didn't end up with yards of chiffon and lace and beading or sequins! THIS is the ultimate MOB or MOG dress!"

Classic Elegance

"I bought this for my daughter's wedding that's in November. I wanted a dress that was comfortable but beautiful and this is so very complimentary."

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is stretch crepe a good choice for a long event?

Stretch crepe holds a structured shape without stiffness, resists creasing when seated, and moves with the body rather than against it. For a wedding that runs from an afternoon ceremony into a late reception, those three qualities matter more than almost anything else.

What is an elbow-length sleeve and who suits it?

An elbow sleeve ends at or just above the elbow, covering the upper arm entirely while leaving the forearm free. It is the most requested sleeve length after three-quarter for formal occasions, because it gives coverage without the warmth or restriction of a longer sleeve.

Is this gown available in petite?

Alex Evenings offers the Ashley in both regular and petite sizing, so the proportions can be matched to your frame rather than hemmed. A petite cut adjusts the shoulder, sleeve and waist placement as well as the length, which a hem alteration cannot do.

What color should you avoid as a wedding guest?

White, ivory and anything close to the bride's gown are the usual exclusions, along with the bridesmaid color if you know it. Beyond that, most palettes are open, though very bright shades can dominate group photographs more than you might expect.
