How It Moves
Soft stretch mesh follows the figure through the ruched bodice and hips, while the asymmetrical basque waist creates a sculpted, curve-enhancing shape. Beading and stone accents highlight the sweetheart neckline, adding concentrated sparkle. The fitted skirt opens into a flowing flare with a thigh-high slit for easier movement, while gathered chiffon extends from the back into a sweeping sheer panel that moves independently of the skirt. Detachable straps can be crossed at the front, worn straight or crossed at the back, or removed entirely for a strapless look.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
The convertible straps, open back and flowing chiffon panel make this dress one to try on to see how each styling option changes the fit and overall look. At Dimitra Designs in Greenville, SC, our master seamstresses with 40+ years of alterations expertise can assess the stretch mesh construction and chiffon detailing before explaining which adjustments may be possible. Alterations are separate and optional. Some of our prom shoppers make the trip from Hendersonville.
