Colette CL6211: Metallic Fitted Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Shimmering metallic stretch knit with liquid-gold sheen
- Silhouette: Sleek fitted skirt with thigh-high slit & sweep train
- "Wow" Detail: Boned corset bodice with lace-up racerback straps
Bring the drama in CL6211. A sculpted sweetheart corset meets gleaming metallic knit that drapes and moves like liquid light, while a daring slit and strappy racerback promise head-turns from every angle.
Stylist's Tip
For a smooth, lifted look with the racerback, use adhesive cups or a plunge backless bra and set the lacing snug at the waist before adjusting the bust. Steam from the inside on low heat—high heat can shine or “stamp” metallic knits. Nude, minimalist heels keep the focus on the glow.

Helpful Information
How do I hem metallic stretch knit without ripples—especially at the slit?
Have your tailor stabilize the slit and hem allowance with lightweight tricot tape. Use a narrow baby hem or clean-turned finish on the shell and keep the lining ½″ shorter. Press from the wrong side with a press cloth and allow the knit to cool flat so the drape stays smooth.
What undergarments work best with a lace-up racerback and sweetheart corset?
Adhesive cups or a low-plunge, backless bra provide invisibility and lift. If you prefer no bra, a tailor can add soft foam cups and a discreet interior elastic “stay” along the neckline to prevent gaping while the racerback lacing supplies support.
