Colette CL6173: Beaded Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Intricate beading and stone accents on corset bodice
- Silhouette: Sleek fit-and-flare with slit and sweep train
- "Wow" Detail: Basque waistline and asymmetric hip ruching
Cue the shimmer. CL6173 pairs a sculpted corset and sweetheart neckline with radiant beadwork that fans across the bodice. Stretch knit smooths your curves, ruching defines the waist, and a leg-baring slit brings red-carpet movement.
Stylist's Tip
Keep the beadwork pristine: step into the gown, then add jewelry to avoid snags. Use fashion tape at the neckline points and lace from the waist upward for lift without flattening. A seamless thong and lightweight shaper keep the hip ruching crisp.

Helpful Information
How do I alter a beaded bodice without losing the pattern symmetry?
Have your tailor pin at the side seams first, remove beads only within the new seam allowance, stitch, then reapply beads by hand following the original motif. This preserves the fan-like beading lines across the corset panels and keeps the design balanced.
What’s the best steaming approach for stretch knit with heavy embellishment?
Steam from the inside on low with a pressing cloth, keeping the head a few inches away from stones to protect adhesive. Avoid vertical tugging while warm; let the fabric cool flat so the knit rebounds and the hip ruching stays defined.
