Fit & Construction
The structured corset bodice features vertical beading and stone accents that highlight the cat-eye sweetheart neckline and draw attention toward the pointed basque waist. A lace-up corset back allows adjustment through the bodice, while lustrous satin opens into a voluminous ball gown skirt. Pleating at the hips creates fullness and shape, and hidden pockets add convenience without interrupting the silhouette. Separate spaghetti straps are included for an additional styling option.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
The structured corset bodice and full satin skirt make this dress one to try on to evaluate the waist placement, skirt volume and overall fit. At Dimitra Designs in Greenville, SC, our master seamstresses with 40+ years of alterations expertise can assess the beaded bodice and pleated construction before explaining which adjustments may be possible. Alterations are separate and optional. Some of our prom shoppers make the trip from Gaffney.
