Portia & Scarlett PS26005: Lace Fit-and-Flare Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Allover sequin lace appliques over illusion corset
- Silhouette: Figure-tracing fit-and-flare with horsehair hem
- "Wow" Detail: Strapless scoop neckline with matching choker & detachable lace sleeves
Old-Hollywood romance, modern corset sculpting. This lace-appliqued showstopper cinches the waist, skims the hips, and finishes with a graceful, camera-ready flare.
Stylist's Tip
Style the choker and sleeves for two looks in one: wear both for formal photos, then remove the sleeves for easy dancing. Use a plunge adhesive bra to keep the scoop neckline clean, and apply fashion tape along the side panels for a seamless fit.

Helpful Information
How should a tailor shorten a lace-and-mesh skirt with horsehair hem?
Request a hem from the lining first, then remove and reattach the horsehair braid at the new outer length. Re-edge the mesh with a fine zigzag to prevent ripples, and hand-tack lace motifs so the pattern flows naturally after hemming.
What’s the best way to secure detachable lace sleeves for a seamless look?
Use clear elastic loops at the underarm and a micro hook near the inner bicep, hidden beneath an applique. This keeps the sleeve aligned with the corset seams, prevents twisting when dancing, and avoids visible bulk at the armhole.
