Description
About the Dress: Clarisse 63151
The Clarisse 63151 is a strapless scoop-neck ballgown built around a heavily beaded corset bodice and a floor-length tiered organza skirt that detaches completely — leaving a short cocktail-length silhouette underneath. The long skirt features a front-facing high slit and layers of tiered organza ruffles that move dramatically with every step. This is a two-looks-in-one gown designed for the customer who wants full-length drama at the entrance and total freedom on the dance floor later in the night.
Fit & Silhouette
The Clarisse 63151 is a ballgown silhouette with a structured, boned corset bodice that provides a firm, sculpted fit through the bust and waist. The bodice closes at the back with a lace-up corset closure that can be tightened or loosened for a precise, custom fit — no alterations required in most cases. The full tiered skirt attaches and detaches at the waist seam, converting the gown from a dramatic floor-length ballgown to a short party dress in seconds. The boning in the bodice is clearly visible and provides excellent lift and support without a separate strapless bra. The front slit is positioned at the center front of the long skirt, adding a fitted, body-conscious element to the otherwise full silhouette.
Fabric & Detail
The bodice of the Clarisse 63151 is covered in beading from the scoop neckline to the waist — boning channels are clearly visible beneath the beaded surface, confirming structured construction throughout. The detachable skirt is made in organza, identified by its sheer, crisp, voluminous layers that hold their shape without being stiff. The tiers run the full length of the skirt from waist to hem, satisfying a true multi-tiered ruffle construction rather than a single flounce or bubble layer. All three colorways — Deep Fuchsia, Forest Green, and Powder Blue — are shown in the product imagery with consistent ruffle volume and beaded bodice detailing across each color.

- Detachable tiered organza skirt — long ballgown or short cocktail in one dress

- Multi-tiered organza ruffle skirt with train

Style & Occasion
The Clarisse 63151 is built for events where making an entrance matters. It is a strong choice for prom, pageant, formal gala, evening event, Sweet 16, and debut. The convertible design means you get the full ballgown moment for photos and the ceremony, then detach the skirt for dancing. The beaded corset bodice is the centrepiece regardless of which length you wear. Pair with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewellery — the beading does the work. A sleek updo or voluminous blowout both complement the strapless neckline. Deep Fuchsia photographs richly and boldly; Forest Green reads as deep and editorial; Powder Blue is the softest of the three and photographs with a cool, luminous tone. All three colors are available to order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most beaded ballgowns give you one look for the entire night. The Clarisse 63151 is built differently: the long tiered organza skirt snaps off at the waist, converting the gown from a floor-length ballgown to a short cocktail dress in under a minute. That means you wear the full dramatic ballgown for your grand entrance, photos, and formal moments — then detach the skirt and move freely for the rest of the night without changing outfits entirely.
The skirt itself is not just a decorative layer. It has a front-facing high slit that adds a sleek, body-conscious element to an otherwise voluminous silhouette. The tiers run the full length of the skirt — these are genuine multi-tiered organza ruffles, not a single flounce — so the movement when you walk is significant. In photos, especially from a distance, the skirt creates a sweeping, editorial quality that photographs differently than a traditional satin or tulle ballgown.
The bodice is the other element that sets this apart. It is heavily beaded from the scoop neckline down to the waist seam, and the boning channels are visible beneath the beaded surface. This is structural beading, not surface-level decoration — the bodice holds its shape and lifts without needing a separate strapless bra. The lace-up corset back allows for a genuinely custom fit at home, which most structured ballgowns cannot offer without a visit to a seamstress.
The combination of a heavily beaded top, a convertible skirt, and a corset closure with real boning puts this gown in a category most dresses in a similar price range do not reach. You are getting two distinct silhouettes, built-in support, and adjustability — all in one purchase.
For anyone comparing this to a standard strapless ballgown in chiffon or tulle: the Clarisse 63151 is heavier in the bodice (beading adds weight), more structured, and more dramatic in person than in photos. If you want something lighter and floatier, this is not that dress. If you want presence and impact, this delivers.
The Clarisse 63151 is designed for high-impact formal occasions where a dramatic entrance is the point. It works very well for prom, pageant, formal gala, evening event, Sweet 16, and debut. The beaded corset bodice, tiered ruffle ballgown skirt, and front slit all signal occasion dressing at a formal level — this is not a dress for a casual event or a simple cocktail party.
For prom specifically, the gown hits every mark: strapless scoop neckline, heavily beaded bodice, floor-length silhouette with a high slit, and a convertible skirt for dancing. The three available colorways — Deep Fuchsia, Forest Green, and Powder Blue — are all bold enough to stand out in a prom crowd. If you are attending a prom with a colour-coordinated group or court, see the group coordination question below.
For pageant, this gown qualifies by every measure: it is a heavily beaded, over-the-top, long formal gown with dramatic volume and construction detail. It is the type of styling associated with competition-level evening gown rounds.
For Sweet 16 and debut, the ballgown silhouette and convertible design are a strong fit, particularly if the event has a formal reception format. The detachable skirt gives a practical advantage for a younger wearer who will be on the dance floor for most of the event.
For galas and formal evening events, the gown reads as high-end and fully dressed — appropriate for black-tie adjacent events.
Where this gown is not the right choice: casual weddings or daytime events, wedding guest roles (the strapless scoop-neck corset with a high slit is styled for party and prom, not guest modesty expectations), and anywhere the dress code is cocktail or semi-formal. The gown is also not a quiet, understated look — if the goal is to blend in rather than stand out, this is not the dress for that.
The Clarisse 63151 closes at the back with a lace-up corset closure. A ribbon or cord threads through a vertical column of metal loops and ties at the bottom, which allows the back to be loosened or tightened in a range of several inches. This is one of the most practical features of the gown: you or someone helping you can adjust the fit on the day without tools or a seamstress.
Before your event, lace the bodice to a comfortable but firm fit — you want the boning to hold without digging. Most wearers find it helpful to lace up while standing, rather than sitting, for the most accurate fit. The corset back is visible in the product images on the short-skirt version, which shows the full lace-up construction clearly.
At the venue, the adjustment takes roughly two minutes with a helper. If you need to loosen it slightly after dinner or tighten it at the start of the night, both are easy. Bring a small safety pin as a backup to secure the bow at the bottom once you have your final fit locked in.
Because the bodice also has internal boning, the lace-up closure does not carry the full load of keeping the gown up — the boning structure does most of that work. The corset lacing is primarily for custom fit shaping rather than structural support alone.
Yes — the Clarisse 63151 is available in three colorways (Deep Fuchsia, Forest Green, and Powder Blue), and all three are shown together in the product imagery, which gives a clear sense of how the colors look side by side. This makes it practical for a group or court where members choose different colors within the same style.
All three colors are bold and saturated. Deep Fuchsia is the most vibrant and reads as hot pink in most lighting — it photographs dramatically and stands out in group shots. Forest Green is rich and deep, leaning editorial and sophisticated. Powder Blue is the softest of the three and reads as cool and luminous. In a mixed-color court, Powder Blue tends to recede slightly relative to the other two, which can be useful for creating a visual hierarchy if there is a lead role.
For a fully coordinated group where everyone wears the same color, all three work — the gown is distinctive enough in silhouette that a group of matching Clarisse 63151 gowns reads as intentional and strong. For mixed-color coordination, order early to confirm all colorways are available in your size range, as stock across three colors can move quickly.
If you are coordinating a large group, our team can assist with multi-order planning. Text or WhatsApp us at +1 416-536-2956 or +1 213-868-3131 to confirm availability across colors and sizes before placing individual orders.
The Clarisse 63151 is a corset-back ballgown, which means sizing is more flexible than a zipper-closure dress. The lace-up back adjusts across a meaningful range, typically two to four inches of ease in the waist and back. This allows you to order a size that fits your bust and hips, then adjust the back closure to your exact waist measurement without tailoring.
For the bodice specifically, order based on the measurement that is hardest to adjust — usually the bust or hips. If you are between sizes, size up rather than down: the corset back can always be laced tighter, but a bodice that is too small cannot be let out.
The skirt is full and voluminous, so hip fit is not a concern at the skirt level — the volume accommodates a wide range. The main fit consideration is the bodice, which is structured and boned and does not have stretch.
For plus-size customers: the Clarisse 63151 is available in plus sizing, and the corset back construction makes it one of the more forgiving fits in a structured ballgown category. We recommend measuring bust, waist, and hips against the designer's size chart and sizing to the largest measurement when in doubt.
If you are unsure about sizing after measuring, reach out before ordering. Our team can walk you through the size chart for this specific style and help you choose the best option for your measurements.
For most wearers, no. The bodice of the Clarisse 63151 has internal boning that provides lift and structure without a separate strapless bra. The boning channels are visible in the product images and run vertically through the full height of the corset bodice. This is structural support, not decorative detail — the bodice is designed to stay in place and hold its shape on its own.
For women with a larger bust (typically a D cup or above), a low-back or strapless adhesive bra can add an extra layer of security and comfort, particularly for a long event with dancing. This is a personal preference rather than a requirement.
For the skirt portion: the organza is structured enough that no slip or underlining is needed. The tiered layers provide their own opacity and volume. There is no risk of the skirt being sheer in a way that requires additional coverage.
When wearing the short version (detached skirt), standard seamless shorts or shapewear worn under the short bodice base are a practical choice for comfort and coverage while dancing. The short underlayer is not designed to be worn as a standalone mini dress without shapewear if you are moving actively.
Bottom line: most wearers do not need to purchase additional undergarments for this gown. The built-in structure is one of the advantages of a corset-bodice design.
The Clarisse 63151 is designed for a standard floor-length fit. If you are petite — typically under 5'4" — the skirt will likely need to be hemmed. Because the skirt is made of layered organza tiers, hemming is more involved than a single-layer chiffon dress: each tier needs to be addressed individually to maintain the proportional look of the ruffles. A skilled seamstress who has worked with tiered ballgowns will know how to handle this, but budget additional time and cost compared to a simple hem.
For taller wearers — 5'9" and above — the gown may land at an ideal floor-grazing length without any alteration, particularly when worn with heels in the 3–4 inch range.
For the short version (detached skirt), the length is fixed and does not typically need adjustment, as cocktail-length hemlines have more flexibility in where they fall.
If you plan to wear heels, try the gown on with heels of the exact height you plan to wear before making any hemming decisions. A one-inch difference in heel height changes where the hem lands significantly on a floor-length gown.
Alterations should be completed before the event. We recommend scheduling your fitting at least three to four weeks before your event date to allow time for revisions.
Clarisse 63151 ships from our Los Angeles and New York warehouses, with Canadian orders shipping from our Toronto location. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days. Rush shipping is available — contact us before ordering if you need the dress by a specific date and we will confirm whether expedited service is possible for your location. All shipments include tracking. There are no duties charged on orders within the United States or Canada.
For international orders outside the US and Canada, we ship worldwide with full tracking included.
Our return policy gives you three options: store credit that never expires, an even exchange for a different size or color, or a refund with a 30% restocking fee deducted. Returns must be initiated within the eligible window and the dress must be unworn, unaltered, and in original condition with tags attached.
If you are ordering for a specific event date, we recommend ordering as early as possible and confirming your sizing before the order is placed — this gives the most flexibility for exchanges if needed. Store credit is the most flexible option for prom season shoppers who may want to apply the value toward accessories or a second event.
