Evening Gown Matches

An evening gown match was a stipulation where the goal was not to win by pinfall or submission but to strip off or tear away an opponent’s evening gown. In some versions, the first wrestler to remove the other person’s gown won. These matches were used mostly as spectacle and fan-service rather than serious competition, especially in older eras of wrestling. They are widely viewed today as outdated and are far less common in modern wrestling.
