Colette CL6191: Fit-and-Flare Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Lace appliqué and stone accents along a sleek straight neckline
- Silhouette: Strapless fit-and-flare with thigh-high slit
- "Wow" Detail: Boned corset bodice in sculpting stretch Mikado
Minimal lines, maximum impact. CL6191 frames the shoulders with a jeweled straight neckline, then carves an hourglass with a corseted Mikado bodice and dramatic slit—elegant, refined, and made to impress.
Stylist's Tip
For a smooth strapless fit, anchor the neckline corners with fashion tape and set the corset snug at the ribcage. Steam Mikado from the inside on low heat to avoid shine, and add the separate spaghetti straps for extra dance security.

Helpful Information
How can a tailor shorten a Mikado gown with a slit without losing structure?
Stabilize the slit edge with lightweight tricot tape, then use a narrow blind hem or faced hem on the shell and a slightly shorter lining. Press from the wrong side with a press cloth and let cool on a hanger to preserve the Mikado's crisp drape.
What’s the best way to reinforce a straight strapless neckline with appliqué?
Add clear stay tape inside the neckline seam before the lace trim, then hand-tack the appliqué after fitting. This prevents stretching during wear and keeps the beaded edge flat and symmetrical under flash photography.
