Portia and Scarlett XO014 Prom Dress

The off-shoulder draped straps on the XO014 are carefully designed to stay in place throughout your entire prom night. The beaded straps sit just below your shoulders and are connected to the structured corset bodice, which provides the primary support. The straps themselves are decorative and enhance the romantic look without bearing the weight of the dress. The key to keeping them secure is ensuring the bodice fits properly—when the corset is correctly sized and adjusted, it holds everything in position, preventing the straps from sliding down. During our fit verification process, we pay close attention to shoulder width and bust measurements to ensure the straps will sit comfortably and securely. Many clients worry about off-shoulder styles, but with proper fit, you'll be able to dance, take photos, and enjoy your entire prom without constantly adjusting the straps.

Ruched satin jersey is one of the best fabrics for prom because it combines elegance with practical comfort for a night of dancing. The jersey component provides stretch and flexibility that moves naturally with your body—unlike stiff fabrics that can feel restrictive on the dance floor. The satin finish adds luxurious sheen that photographs beautifully under prom venue lighting. The ruching technique (those gathered folds in the fabric) serves multiple purposes: it creates flattering texture and dimension, it helps the fabric drape elegantly around curves, and it naturally camouflages any areas you might feel self-conscious about. The fit-and-flare silhouette with ruched jersey means you get a fitted look through the bodice and hips while maintaining freedom of movement for dancing. The fabric also tends to be more forgiving if you experience any minor size fluctuations between ordering and prom night, and it resists wrinkling better than many other formal fabrics.
