Tiffany Designs 16297: Mermaid Prom Dress
Product Overview
- Sparkle Factor: Intricate beadwork and sequins that cascade from bodice to hips
- Silhouette: Sculpted mermaid flare with sweep train
- "Wow" Detail: Strapless deep V neckline with mid-open back
Engineered to dazzle, this Mikado mermaid cinches the waist with luxurious beadwork, then erupts into a dramatic flare that glides like couture on the dance floor.
Stylist's Tip
Pair the deep V with adhesive cups or a plunge-longline strapless for seamless lift. Steam Mikado from the inside on low and let the skirt cool flat—this keeps seams crisp and the mermaid flare architectural for photos.

Helpful Information
How do I tailor Mikado with heavy beadwork without puckering or visible impressions?
Request intake at side seams and center back below the mid-open area. Remove beads within the seam allowance before stitching, press from the lining with a press cloth, then hand-apply a few beads to bridge the seam so the taper looks continuous.
What’s the best way to move and sit in a structured mermaid without collapsing the flare?
Use a short cross-step to keep the flare aligned and take seats from the side, angling the knees and fanning the skirt behind you. This preserves the Mikado's shape and prevents stress at the hip seam where the flare begins.
