Fit, Comfort & Movement
Stretch knit follows the figure through the waist and hips before opening into a dramatic fit-and-flare skirt. Radiating lines of beading and stone accents highlight the cat-eye sweetheart neckline and extend down the skirt, creating sparkle and emphasizing the fitted silhouette. Sheer side insets draw attention toward the pointed basque waist, while the lace-up back allows adjustment through the bodice. A thigh-high slit provides additional room for walking and dancing, and separate spaghetti straps offer another styling option.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
The fitted stretch knit silhouette and sheer side insets make this dress one to try on to evaluate the waist placement, bodice fit and overall proportions. At Dimitra Designs in Greenville, SC, our master seamstresses with 40+ years of alterations expertise can assess the embellished fabric and lace-up construction before explaining which adjustments may be possible. Alterations are separate and optional. Some of our prom shoppers make the trip from Anderson.
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.
