Portia and Scarlett PS26094: Pearl Beaded Fit-and-Flare Prom Gown
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Structured corset bodice with exposed boning and pearl beading
- Silhouette: Figure-hugging fit-and-flare mermaid in luxurious satin jersey
- "Wow" Detail: Strapless design with architectural exposed boning and pearl embellishments
Sometimes the most striking beauty lies in structure itself. This fit-and-flare gown turns the hidden architecture of formal wear into art—exposed boning creates dramatic linear patterns across the bodice, each line punctuated with delicate pearl beading that catches the light like dewdrops at dawn.
Stylist's Tip
The exposed boning is the star of this gown, creating an edgy, modern take on classic elegance. The structured lines are incredibly flattering—they cinch the waist, support the bust, and create definition that photographs beautifully from every angle. Since the bodice makes such a statement, keep jewelry minimal: skip the necklace entirely and choose simple pearl studs to echo the beading, or go with small hoops for a contemporary touch.

Helpful Information
What is exposed boning, and how does it differ from traditional hidden corset construction?
Exposed boning is a fashion-forward design choice where the structural elements of a corset—typically channels of plastic or steel boning that shape and support the bodice—are intentionally visible on the outside of the garment rather than hidden within layers of fabric. Traditional corsets conceal the boning between the lining and outer fabric, but exposed boning celebrates the architecture by making it a decorative feature. In this gown, the boning creates linear patterns across the bodice and is embellished with pearl beading, transforming functional structure into artistic design.
How do I care for a gown with exposed boning and pearl beading to maintain its structure?
Gowns with exposed boning require careful handling to preserve both the structural integrity and the decorative elements. Always hang the dress on a padded hanger that supports the bodice without creating stress points on the boning channels. Never fold or compress the bodice area, as this can warp the boning or loosen the pearl beading. The exposed boning is typically sewn onto the exterior fabric with reinforced stitching, but you should still avoid pulling or tugging on these areas.
