Colette CL8545: Metallic Fit-and-Flare Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: High-shine liquid lamé with mirror-like glow
- "Wow" Detail: Strapless sweetheart neckline with front & back cut-outs
Turn every spotlight your way. CL8545 sculpts your curves in liquid lamé that moves like molten metal, while bold front-and-back cut-outs elevate the classic sweetheart into a runway statement.
Stylist's Tip
For a smooth, second-skin finish, choose seamless underwear and step into the gown first to avoid snags. Set the neckline with a touch of fashion tape at the corners, and steam from the inside on low—direct heat can over-shine lamé.

Our in-house stylists personally review the measurements you provide, comparing them against the designer's official size chart while considering the gown's unique silhouette and fabric.

This extra step is our commitment to preventing sizing mistakes and ensuring your gown arrives with the best possible fit.

Helpful Information
How do I hem liquid lamé without creating ripples at the slit?
Stabilize the slit and hem allowance with lightweight tricot tape, then use a narrow baby hem or clean-turned finish. Press only from the wrong side with a press cloth and allow the fabric to cool flat to preserve the glassy sheen.
What undergarments work best with front/back cut-outs?
Adhesive cups or a backless plunge bra keep lines invisible. A thin, high-waist shaping short smooths the hip without showing—just ensure the waistline sits well below the cut-outs.
