Fit & Construction
Sculpted satin panels and visible boning create strong vertical lines through the strapless corset bodice, shaping the cat-eye sweetheart neckline and defining the waist. The pointed basque extends into the skirt to emphasize the hourglass silhouette, while beading and stone accents concentrate around the hips before scattering down the satin faced jersey. The fitted skirt follows the curves before opening into a fluid flare, with a thigh-high slit allowing additional movement. A lace-up corset back provides adjustment through the bodice, and separate spaghetti straps offer another styling option.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
The sculpted corset bodice and pointed basque waist make this gown one to try on to evaluate the neckline, waist placement and fit through the hips. At Dimitra Designs in Greenville, SC, our master seamstresses with 40+ years of alterations expertise can assess the structured bodice and embellished satin jersey before explaining which adjustments may be possible. Alterations are separate and optional. Some of our prom shoppers make the trip from Gaffney.
Online you see each designer’s prom collection. Our Greenville, SC store has 1,000+ prom and pageant dresses to try on, most in one size and one color, and the selection changes as dresses sell. Ask a Dimitra Designs stylist or call 864-467-0801 before your visit.
