Tiffany Designs 16287: Mermaid Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Sleek stretch Mikado with architectural corset seaming
- Silhouette: Sculpted mermaid with back bow detail and grand sweep train
- "Wow" Detail: Oversized back bow with cage-style open back
All drama, perfectly engineered—structured cutouts and corset lines cinch the waist, and a showpiece bow crowns a sweeping mermaid skirt.
Stylist's Tip
Use an adhesive plunge or molded cups to keep the deep sweetheart clean, and secure illusion cutouts with micro tabs of fashion tape. Steam stretch Mikado from the inside on low and let the bow tails cool flat so they hold a crisp, sculptural shape.

Helpful Information
How can I tailor stretch Mikado to enhance the mermaid flare without puckering seams?
Ask your seamstress to take in at side seams and center back below the open cage area. Use a narrow stitch length and press from the lining only; set the flare with light steam and cool on a flat surface to preserve the crisp skirt architecture.
What’s the best way to keep the oversized bow and tails photo-ready all night?
After final lacing, add two discreet hand tacks at the bow base to anchor it to the bodice. Lightly steam from the underside and let the tails cool over a hanger; a thin strip of horsehair or organza interlining inside the tails can add lasting structure.
