Clarisse 5138 Glitter Lace Fitted Mermaid Gown with Sweep Train Gown

The neckline is a deep V-front with a sheer illusion mesh insert at the centre plunge, so the neckline stays dramatic without full exposure. Thin beaded spaghetti straps support the bodice and cross into a crisscross pattern across the fully open back, which is bare from shoulder to well below the waist. There is no front slit — the skirt stays fitted through the knees before it fans out into the mermaid flare, finishing with a sweep train.

Fit & Silhouette

Clarisse 5138 is cut fitted through the bust, waist, and hips. The fabric clings smoothly to the body all the way down to the knee, then opens into the mermaid flare that adds movement at the hem without breaking the sleek line above. The sweep train extends the silhouette gracefully behind you as you walk.

This dress is true to size for most customers. If you are between sizes or have a fuller hip relative to your waist, sizing up and having the waist taken in by a tailor is the standard recommendation for mermaid silhouettes.

Fabric & Detail

The gown is built on a sheer mesh base covered in glitter-lace appliqué that runs continuously from the neckline to the hem. The effect reads as fully embellished: every part of the dress catches the light. The illusion mesh panel at the centre V adds a sheer layer at the décolletage in several colorways. The spaghetti straps are set with beading or rhinestones, adding extra detail at the shoulder. A sweep train completes the gown at the back hem.

Style & Occasion

Clarisse 5138 is built for prom and formal evening events where you want to make an entrance. The all-over glitter-lace and the mermaid silhouette give it strong pageant-level impact, and it photographs brilliantly under event lighting. It also works for formal evening galas and high-profile school events where a bold, fully embellished gown is appropriate.

For shoes, a strappy high heel in metallic or a matching colorway elongates the silhouette and keeps the focus on the gown. Minimal jewelry works best — the embellishment does the work, so a small stud earring or a simple cuff is enough. An updo or sleek pulled-back style shows off the open back and the crisscross strap detail.

Jade Green reads vivid and distinctive on the dance floor. Dark Gold has a rich, warm tone that photographs especially well under warm lighting. Powder Blue is a soft contrast to the heavy embellishment and gives the gown a lighter, more ethereal look.
