Rachel Allan 70980: Satin & Chiffon Bow-Shoulder Prom Dress

  • Sparkle Factor: Soft sheen satin bodice over floaty chiffon skirt with light-catching movement.
  • Silhouette: Flowing A-line skirt with thigh-high slit and fitted bodice that defines the waist.
  • "Wow" Detail: Bow-tied shoulders with side cutouts that frame the bodice for a modern, flirty finish.

If you love a fairytale swirl with just a hint of edge, Rachel Allan 70980 delivers—bow-tied shoulders, sleek cutouts, and a chiffon skirt that follows every step like a soft cloud.

Stylist's Tip

Let the bow shoulders stay center stage by keeping jewelry minimal up top—think delicate drop earrings and a slim bracelet. A strappy neutral heel will showcase the slit, while a light-steam or hang before your event helps the chiffon fall in clean, picture-ready layers.

Dress Details

  • Bow-tied shoulder straps add a romantic, on-trend detail that highlights the neckline and shoulders.
  • Side cutouts visually sculpt the waist while the fitted bodice creates a smooth, secure feel through the torso.
  • Soft chiffon skirt with a thigh-high slit offers easy movement on the dance floor and a dramatic moment in photos.

Helpful Information

How can I keep the bow-tie shoulders securely in place all night?

After adjusting the bows to your desired length, double-knot each shoulder tie and gently tug to make sure the loops are snug. Our stylists recommend using clear fashion tape at the neckline and shoulders for extra security, especially if you’ll be dancing or moving a lot. A quick test—raising your arms and twisting at the waist—will confirm everything stays comfortably in place.

What alterations work best for the chiffon skirt and thigh-high slit?

A professional hem that follows your shoe height is key for this flowing silhouette. Ask your tailor to maintain the original curve and opening of the slit so it still reads high and dramatic without exposing too much when you walk or sit. Because the skirt is chiffon over satin, both layers should be hemmed together for a clean, even finish in motion and in photos.
