Colette CL6195: Mermaid Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Stretch knit with scattered stone accents
- Silhouette: Strapless mermaid with dramatic flare hem
- "Wow" Detail: Lace-up corset back with sculpting ruching
All eyes on you. CL6195 cinches the waist with a boned, strapless bodice and fans into a statement mermaid skirt, while radiant stone accents trace the fuchsia knit for head-turning shine.
Stylist's Tip
For flawless curves, lace the corset from the waist upward to set tension, then fine-tune the top edge. Use a seamless thong and a light mid-thigh shaper to keep the knit smooth and the back ruching perfectly defined.

Helpful Information
How do I hem a mermaid skirt and keep the flare balanced?
Have your tailor level the hem in event heels, then shorten each godet/panel evenly from the hem—not the knee point—so the break remains smooth. A narrow baby hem preserves flow and avoids bulky ripples at the flare.
What’s the best way to prevent ripples in stretch knit with heavy back ruching?
Stabilize the center-back seam with lightweight tricot tape before sewing the ruching channels. Press with low heat from the inside and let the knit cool flat so the elastic memory resets and the ruching lays crisp.
