Portia and Scarlett PS26432C Couture Gown

The corset bodice on the PS26432C is expertly constructed with precision boning that provides both structure and support throughout the torso. Unlike simple lined bodices, this corset design uses strategically placed boning channels that follow the body's natural curves, creating a cinched waist effect while supporting the bust area. The result is a flattering hourglass silhouette that feels secure and comfortable throughout your event. The corset construction also means the gown can accommodate slight variations in measurements better than non-structured designs. During our fit verification process, we pay special attention to ensuring the corset sits at the right position on your torso—not too high or too low—so you get maximum shaping benefit and all-day comfort.

Fitted sequined gowns like the PS26432C are designed with some strategic stretch in the fabric construction, but there are techniques that will maximize your comfort. When sitting, approach the chair from the side and ease down slowly, allowing the sequined fabric to shift naturally with your movement. The thigh-high slit isn't just for style—it also provides functional ease of movement for walking and dancing. Practice walking in the gown before your event to get comfortable with the weight and flow of the sequins. When dancing, the fitted silhouette allows for movement while maintaining its shape. The key is working with the gown's construction rather than against it. Many clients find that after the first 20-30 minutes of wear, the gown begins to move more naturally with their body.
