Description
About the Dress: Clarisse 63118
Clarisse 63118 is a long A-line prom gown built for impact. The bodice is covered in beaded floral appliqués layered over an illusion mesh panel, and the skirt flows out in soft tulle — giving the dress a light, sweeping movement as you walk. It is available in Shimmer Blush and Shimmer Champagne, and comes with a hidden pocket on each side.
Fit & Silhouette
The silhouette is A-line: fitted through the bodice and then gradually flaring into a full floor-length skirt. Thin spaghetti straps frame the sweetheart neckline, which dips to a visible point at the center front. Boning channels run through the bodice to hold everything in place without a strapless bra. The front features a high slit, giving the skirt an open, leg-revealing split while keeping the overall shape of the gown graceful and flowing. Clarisse 63118 fits sizes 00 through 20, making it a genuine option for a wide range of body types.
Fabric & Detail
The skirt is constructed from layered tulle, which is lightweight and moves easily — no stiff structure, just fluid drape. The bodice sits on an illusion mesh base and is hand-embellished with beaded floral appliqués. You can see the individual beading and petals clearly in the detail view. The lace-up crisscross closure at the back runs the length of the back panel, leaving the back substantially open while providing a fully adjustable fit through the lacing.
Key Features
- Beaded floral appliqué bodice on illusion mesh with visible boning channels
- A-line tulle skirt with natural, sweeping movement
- Sweetheart neckline with thin spaghetti straps
- Front-facing high slit on the right side of the skirt
- Lace-up crisscross back with lace-up back exposure
- Built-in boning for structure and support — no separate bustier needed
- Hidden pockets in the skirt
- Available in Shimmer Blush and Shimmer Champagne
- Sizes 00–20
Style & Occasion
Clarisse 63118 is designed for prom, formal dances, black-tie galas, evening events, Sweet 16 parties, and debut celebrations. The combination of the beaded bodice, flowing tulle skirt, and open lace-up back makes it a strong choice when you want a gown that reads formal from the front and dramatic from the back. Style it with strappy heeled sandals to let the front slit show off the leg line. For jewelry, keep it close to the neckline — a delicate pendant or small drop earrings let the bodice embellishment carry the look. Both Shimmer Blush and Shimmer Champagne photograph well under event lighting, with the metallic undertones catching the light as the tulle skirt moves. Marlas Fashions is an authorized Clarisse retailer with over 40 years of experience, and every dress is inspected before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clarisse 63118 is designed for formal and semi-formal evening occasions where a full-length gown is expected or appropriate. Here is a breakdown of where it works well and where you might want to consider something else.
Prom is the primary fit for this dress. The combination of a beaded bodice, flowing tulle skirt, front slit, and open lace-up back hits every note of what prom fashion is built around: drama, movement, embellishment, and a back that looks incredible in photos. Both Shimmer Blush and Shimmer Champagne are popular prom colorways.
Formal dances and black-tie events are also a strong match. The floor-length A-line silhouette and the bead-and-appliqué bodice read as genuinely formal rather than just party-dressed-up. This is a gown you can wear to a gala, a black-tie fundraiser, or a formal school event and look completely appropriate.
Sweet 16 parties and debut celebrations are another natural home for this gown, especially in Shimmer Blush. The soft color and floral detailing on the bodice give it a celebratory, slightly romantic feel that fits those milestone events well.
Evening events — whether a formal charity dinner, a school formal, or a large family celebration — work with this dress provided the dress code is floor-length or gowns. For semi-formal events where knee-length or midi dresses are the expectation, a shorter style would be a better fit.
Wedding guest use is currently flagged for client review at Marlas Fashions. The open lace-up back and deep sweetheart neckline make this a more dressed-up choice than typical wedding-guest guidelines allow, so we are holding that recommendation pending confirmation. If you are considering it for a wedding, reach out to the team and they can advise.
Mother of the bride or formal wedding-party roles are generally not the target for this style — the aesthetic is younger and more fashion-forward than most MOB customers are looking for.
If you are unsure whether Clarisse 63118 suits your specific event's dress code, the Marlas Fashions team is available to help you decide.
Clarisse 63118 is an A-line silhouette, which is one of the most universally flattering cuts you can wear to prom or a formal event. Here is how it works across different body shapes.
For hourglass figures, the fitted, boned bodice follows your natural waist and the A-line skirt skims out from the hip without adding volume you do not need. The sweetheart neckline emphasizes the collarbone and décolletage in a way that feels balanced rather than over-exposed.
For pear or triangle shapes — wider through the hips and thighs — the A-line skirt is genuinely ideal. Because the tulle flares gradually from the natural waist rather than clinging through the hip, it draws attention upward to the embellished bodice instead. The high slit on the right side actually works well here too: it introduces movement and shows one leg cleanly rather than hinting at width.
For athletic or straighter figures, the structured boning in the bodice creates the illusion of a defined waistline, and the floral appliqués on the chest add softness and dimension. The spaghetti straps keep the shoulder line delicate rather than boxy.
For fuller or plus figures, this dress was designed to work across sizes 00–20. The crisscross lace-up back is a practical advantage: you can adjust the lacing to get a precise fit through the back and torso, rather than being locked into a zipper that runs in one direction. The boning holds the bodice firm without squeezing. The tulle skirt moves with you rather than fighting your shape, and the fluid floor-length hem creates a long vertical line from chest to floor.
One general note on the slit: it sits at the front right of the skirt and is quite prominent. If you prefer less leg exposure, you can have the slit partially sewn by a local tailor for a minimal cost — most alterations shops handle this quickly. If you love movement and leg-reveal, leave it exactly as it arrives.
For personalized sizing help or to ask about specific measurements, contact the Marlas Fashions team before you order. They can compare your measurements against the Clarisse size chart and advise on whether to size up or stay true to size.
A few things stand out when you compare Clarisse 63118 to similar beaded gowns. First, the bodice construction combines an illusion mesh base with individually applied beaded floral appliqués — not a printed or pressed floral pattern, but actual three-dimensional appliqué work you can see clearly in the detail images. Second, the boning is built into the bodice, which most dresses at this price point skip. That means you get structure and support without needing a separate bustier or strapless bra underneath. Third, the crisscross lace-up back is adjustable in a way that a side zipper is not — you can control the fit through the back and torso precisely. Fourth, the dress has pockets. Hidden pockets in a beaded formal gown are still uncommon enough that it is worth calling out. Finally, the tulle skirt is cut to move rather than stand stiff, so the dress looks different in motion than it does on a hanger or in a still photo. If movement and detail are priorities for you, Clarisse 63118 delivers both.
The back of Clarisse 63118 uses a lace-up crisscross closure rather than a zipper. Two ribbon or cord laces cross back and forth across the lace-up back panel, anchored at the top and tied at the bottom. To put the dress on, loosen the lacing fully before stepping in, then pull the laces snug from the top down, working each cross section until the bodice fits the way you want through the back. Tie the laces at the bottom and tuck the ends into the bow or the skirt. The lace-up back exposure is intentional and substantial — the back is designed to be seen, with the criss-cross lacing as the visual feature. Because the fit is adjustable through the lacing rather than fixed at a single zipper point, this closure works particularly well if your measurements fall between standard sizes or if you are between a dress size and an extended size. One practical note: it is easier to lace up with someone helping you. Plan for a few minutes of adjustment time before the event. If you want the lacing pulled tight for maximum bodice support, have a friend lace you in while you take a full breath — you want the fit snug but not restrictive when you exhale.
Yes, Clarisse 63118 is available in two colorways — Shimmer Blush and Shimmer Champagne — and in sizes 00 through 20, which makes it a workable option for a coordinated group. For a court or damas group, you could dress the whole group in one colorway or mix Shimmer Blush and Shimmer Champagne for a tonal but varied look. Because the dress comes in an extended size range, you are less likely to run into fit gaps where one group member cannot find their size. When ordering for a group, Marlas Fashions recommends placing all orders at the same time rather than staggered, since dye lots and production runs can vary slightly between orders placed weeks apart. If some group members need a slightly different fit or style, the team can advise on which Clarisse styles work well together as a coordinated set. Every 63118 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 63118, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise.
Clarisse 63118 runs in sizes 00 through 20. Clarisse sizing generally runs close to standard US sizing, but the bodice boning makes fit through the chest and ribs especially important to get right. Take your full bust, natural waist, and fullest hip measurements and compare them against the Clarisse size chart before ordering. If your measurements put you between sizes, size up — the lace-up crisscross back lets you take in extra room through the back, but there is no way to add fabric if the bodice is too small. Pay particular attention to your bust measurement if you are fuller through the chest: the sweetheart neckline sits lower than a scoop or square neckline, so the bodice needs to fit correctly to provide support. If you are ordering an extended size, the same measurement process applies — use the chart, do not guess based on your usual clothing size. The team at Marlas Fashions can compare your measurements against the size chart if you want a second opinion before placing your order.
Marlas Fashions ships Clarisse 63118 from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with standard delivery in 7–12 business days. Rush shipping is available if you need the dress sooner — contact the team before you order to confirm rush timelines for your location. Shipping is available to the US, Canada, and internationally. US and Canadian orders ship with no duties charged. International orders include tracked shipping. If you are ordering for a specific event date, factor in time for any alterations after the dress arrives — most formal gown alterations take one to two weeks depending on your tailor's schedule.

Every 63118 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 63118, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the 63118 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns for store credit, exchanges, or refunds. Refunds are issued less a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so if you return a dress and are not ready to choose something else immediately, your credit stays on account until you are ready. If the dress arrives and the fit is slightly off — common with formal gowns that are ordered without trying on — an exchange for a different size is usually the fastest path forward. The team can walk you through which option makes the most sense for your situation. To start a return or exchange, contact Marlas Fashions as soon as the dress arrives and you have tried it on. The sooner you reach out, the more options are available to you. Every 63118 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.
