Mostly I wear cotton and silk sundresses, which can be roll-folded (for short periods of time you can roll-fold some clothing, using paper liner as you roll, will stay wrinkle, crease and damage free for several days - but I will unpack and hang them immediately). 


My black evening gown is a gorgeous velvet high-end couture gown that is designed for summer wear, ankle length.   I have packing products for my gown allowing it to fold nicely with paper liner, and placed in a travel box inside my pack. 


There are many travel products lines for backpackers.  Because of the numbers of people who backpack across the US (amtrak sells wonderful rail passes), or Europe you become aware of some amazing packing products and alternatives for backpack travel.  Never know when you will need a stylish outfit to wear.   


I have traveled with gowns in a pack before and they always have turned out perfect.  You just need to be careful about the materials - stick with natural fibers or velvet.  All fibers which, if they do crease or wrinkle excessively can be steamed.
