What the Construction Allows
The lace-up closure allows the corset bodice to be adjusted without changing the full skirt. Detachable straps offer two neckline options, while the tiered tulle creates volume that moves with each step. Our master seamstresses can evaluate the bodice construction in person to determine which additional adjustments may be possible.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
A Dimitra Designs stylist can help you compare how a lace-up back fits and whether alterations might be needed. Our master seamstresses with 40+ years of alterations expertise evaluate each dress before recommending changes, including adjustments to straps or the neckline when construction allows. Alterations are separate and optional. Gaffney is one of the towns our prom shoppers come from.
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.
