Modern princess, unlocked. CL6189 pairs crisp Mikado and a sculpted strapless bodice with a glamorous sparkling back bow and a voluminous, pleated skirt that floats across the floor—elegant, effortless, unforgettable.
Stylist's Tip
Mikado loves structure—steam from the inside on low heat to avoid shine marks. For strapless security, anchor the neckline with fashion tape and add the separate straps for dancing. Keep the bow crisp by stuffing it with tissue during transport.

Helpful Information
How do I bustle a Mikado ball gown without crushing the bow?
Ask your tailor for an under-bustle using color-coded loops hidden along the skirt’s inner seams—placement should avoid the bow’s anchor seam. After bustling, reshape the bow by hand and support it with a small tulle pillow stitched inside so it sits upright all night.
What’s the cleanest hem method for thick Mikado with pleats?
Level the hem in event heels, then use a narrow blind hem or faced hem to keep the edge crisp. If the skirt has horsehair, shorten from the top of the horsehair and reattach to preserve flare; press from the wrong side with a press cloth to prevent shine.
