Fit & Construction
Stretch knit allows some flexibility through the fitted portion of this dress, while the lace-up closure helps set how securely the corset sits. The dropped waist keeps the upper section continuous before the skirt opens into its flare. Ruffles along the slit add movement without changing the fitted construction above.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
At Dimitra Designs in Greenville, SC, a stylist can explain how the lace-up back affects the fit and which alterations may be possible. Prom shoppers drive in from Greenwood for the try-on. Our master seamstresses with 40+ years of alterations expertise evaluate the dress before recommending changes to its straps, neckline or slit. Alterations are separate and optional.
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.
