Colette CL6165: Fit-and-Flare Lace Applique Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Beaded lace appliqué over allover lace
- "Wow" Detail: Corset bodice with supportive double straps & lace-up back
CL6165 blends couture texture with confident structure—think beaded lace appliqué, a contouring corset bodice, and a sweep of tulle that trails behind you. The slit adds runway movement; the double straps keep everything comfortably in place.
Stylist's Tip
For smooth support, use a low-plunge, seamless bodysuit or cups and place fashion tape along the neckline points. When lacing the back, set your ideal waist tension first, then fine-tune the bust—this preserves shape without over-tightening delicate lace.

Helpful Information
How do double straps improve support on a corset bodice?
Dual spaghetti straps distribute tension across two anchor points instead of one, which reduces dig-in and helps the corset hold posture without over-tightening the lacing. If you’re narrow-shouldered, a tailor can slightly angle the inner strap to prevent slipping.
Best alteration method for lace with tulle godets and a front slit?
Level the hem in your event heels, then shorten layers individually: lining first, lace shell second, and tulle godets last. Use a narrow rolled hem on tulle and a lace-appliqué re-lay at the slit opening so motifs continue seamlessly and the slit hangs straight.
