Improve "body" or crispness of dress with sizing?

I pre-washed poly-shantung fabric to get the crease out before making formal dress. The dress is a little limp. The cleaners said they can spray it with "sizing" to give it a little body. Anyone experience with this and whether it makes a noticeable difference? Worth it?
