Colette CL6157: Ball Gown Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Sleek Mikado sheen with corset seaming
- Silhouette: Classic ball gown with full pleated skirt
Sleek, modern, and princess-level dramatic—CL6157 pairs a sculpted corset bodice and sweetheart neckline with a swishy Mikado skirt that catches the light beautifully. Practical pockets and a lace-up back deliver comfort and confidence from portraits to last dance.
Stylist's Tip
For smooth lines, skip bulky bras—light molded cups or stick-on support work best with a structured corset. Add a slim petticoat if you want extra volume, and steam on low from the inside of the Mikado to avoid shine marks.

Helpful Information
How does a Mikado corset bodice support movement without feeling stiff?
Mikado’s tight weave gives structure so boning can shape the torso while the lace-up back customizes tension. Wearers get posture and lift without rigid compression, and the adjustable back lets you loosen for dinner and tighten before photos.
Can a ball gown with pockets be hemmed cleanly?
Yes—an experienced tailor will preserve pocket function by opening the side seam, removing length from the skirt panel, then reattaching the pocket bag. Hem from the panel, not the pocket edge, to maintain the garment’s drape and volume.
