Colette CL6169: Fit-and-Flare Corset Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Stone-traced plunging neckline and micro-crystal shimmer
- Silhouette: Sleek fit-and-flare with leg-lengthening slit
- "Wow" Detail: Asymmetrical hip ruching with convertible straps
Made to steal the spotlight, CL6169 marries a sculpted corset bodice and daring illusion plunge with body-skimming stretch knit. Asymmetrical ruching sculpts your waist, the slit adds runway drama, and the lace-up back customizes your perfect fit.
Stylist's Tip
For plunging necklines, anchor with fashion tape along the illusion inset and wear silicone petals or a low-plunge bodysuit. Lace the back starting at the waist for support, then add the optional spaghetti straps if you want extra security for dancing.

Helpful Information
How do I keep a deep-plunge corset looking smooth under flash photography?
Use invisible tape along the illusion inset and at the neckline corners, then set the corset tension at the waist first to eliminate gaping. A matte, skin-tone mesh bodysuit prevents flash blowout while keeping the plunge crisp in photos.
Can stretch knit with a slit be hemmed without losing that sleek drape?
Yes—ask your tailor for a narrow baby hem or clean-turned finish and to stabilize the slit edge with a lightweight tricot tape. Hem the lining slightly shorter than the shell so the skirt falls smoothly and the slit doesn’t collapse.
