Colette CL6161: Fit-and-Flare Corset Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Metallic-thread lace with sequins and stone accents
- Silhouette: Sleek fit-and-flare with thigh-high slit
Meet the shimmer showstopper. CL6161 layers metallic allover lace with appliqués, sequins, and stones over a sculpted corset, then finishes with a leg-lengthening slit for red-carpet movement. It’s polished, luminous, and made to impress.
Stylist's Tip
Because metallic lace can snag, slip on your jewelry after the dress is on. Use fashion tape along the neckline points for a crisp edge, and lace the back from waist upward for support without compressing the bust.

Helpful Information
How do I keep metallic-thread lace looking smooth throughout the night?
Carry a small snag fixer or clear nail polish. If a loop appears, gently pull the surrounding fabric to even tension—never cut the thread. Steam from the inside on low heat; direct high heat can dull metallic fibers and loosen glue-set stones.
What’s the right hem approach for a fit-and-flare with a front slit and train?
Your tailor should level the hem in heels, trim the slit panel separately, and blend the back into the train using a narrow rolled hem. Avoid heavy horsehair near the slit—it can kick outward and disrupt the line of the flare.
