Colette CL6219: Mermaid Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Stone-kissed stretch taffeta with 3D floral accent
- Silhouette: Strapless straight-neck mermaid with elongating drop waist
- "Wow" Detail: Sculptural three-dimensional flower at the flare
Old-Hollywood drama, reimagined. CL6219 pairs a clean, straight strapless neckline and corseted bodice with a couture drop waist that releases into a sweeping mermaid skirt—finished with a statement 3D flower that turns every step into a moment.
Stylist's Tip
Taffeta loves structure. Ask your tailor to add a soft elastic stay along the straight neckline for all-night security, then use a touch of fashion tape at the corners. When pressing, use a press cloth and low steam from the wrong side to prevent shine or water spotting.

Helpful Information
How do I bustle a drop-waist mermaid with a 3D flower?
Request an under-bustle using color-coded loops placed in the seam panels just behind the flower so the pickup doesn’t stress the appliqué. A small tulle pillow hand-tacked beneath the flower keeps it lifted and prevents crushing during dances.
Can a straight strapless neckline be altered without creating puckers in taffeta?
Yes—your tailor should add minimal darting at the side seam (not the front edge), reinforce the neckline with clear stay tape, and hand-tack the lining to the seam allowance. Avoid over-pressing; use a clapper and cool to set the edge crisp and smooth.
