Who received a new gown from Croiriers in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby?

Quick answer:

Lucille, a minor character and guest at Gatsby's party, received a new gown from Croiriers. After tearing her dress at a previous party, Gatsby sent her an exquisite replacement worth $265. This incident highlights Gatsby's extravagant generosity and his attitude towards money, but it also raises suspicion among his guests, reflecting his struggle for acceptance by the East Eggers.

The incident shows not just Gatsby's extraordinary wealth, but also his general attitude toward money. For him, money is a means to an end, a way to make yourself popular, to win friends and influence people. The recipient of the expensive new dress, Lucille, is someone Gatsby doesn't even know all that well; she's just one of many freeloading guests who regularly turns up at one of his opulent soirees. But Gatsby thinks nothing of spending a small fortune—and $265 was an awful lot of money in those days—on a mere item of clothing for someone he hardly knows. It's telling that Gatsby's generosity, far from eliciting admiration and gratitude, actually raises suspicion. This illustrates once more how Gatsby will never be accepted by the East Eggers, no matter how much money he has.

The receiver of the gown is a minor character in a yellow dress named Lucille, who is a guest at Gatsby's party in Chapter 3.  The ladies are gossiping about Gatsby and his opulent celebrations, and Lucille recalls that at his last gathering she tore her gown on a chair. Gatsby asked her name and address, and within a week sent a new evening gown from Croirier's as a replacement.  The gown was exquisite - "gas blue with lavender beads...two hundred and sixty-five dollars".  Lucille's companion observes that "there's something funny about a fellow that'll do a thing like that...he doesn't want any trouble with anybody", and the conversation turns to rumors about Gatsby's supposedly shady past.
