Product Insights
The Johnny Collar Belted Crepe Dress by Contemporaine offers a versatile structured look with a hidden zip that converts the neckline from mockneck to V, while the collar lies flat under blazers without a camisole. Made from a 60% recycled polyester crepe that is opaque, wrinkle-resistant, and fluid-draping, it mimics virgin polyester in look and feel. The heavy, pebbled weave provides opacity without lining and masks creases, yet requires cold gentle washing and low ironing. Priced at $125 CAD, it undercuts competitors like Coast by about $95, and runs true to size—size up only if between sizes.
