Clarisse 810716 Fitted Beaded Sweetheart Jersey Gown with High Slit

Fit & Silhouette

This gown is fully fitted through the bust, waist, hips, and thighs. The ruching runs through the bodice and wraps around the midsection, which pulls the fabric in toward the waist and creates a natural hourglass shape without requiring any internal boning. The high front slit opens well above mid-thigh, giving full range of motion without altering the slim silhouette. This is a dress that sits close to the skin, so most customers go with their standard size. If you are between sizes or carry more volume at the hips, sizing up one is the safer call. Clarisse 810716 runs true to size for most builds. A professional hem or strap adjustment takes about fifteen minutes and can make a noticeable difference if the straps feel slightly long.

Fabric & Detail

The base fabric is jersey — a smooth, medium-weight stretch knit that holds its shape over a long evening without feeling stiff or restrictive. Jersey fabric drapes cleanly, does not wrinkle easily, and travels well. Along the sweetheart neckline, Clarisse has added a beaded trim that catches light at the top of the bodice without covering the skirt in heavy embellishment. The ruching is sewn directly into the fabric at the stomach and hip area, so it is a structural detail rather than a surface finish — it does not shift or bunch throughout the night.

Style & Occasion

Clarisse 810716 is the kind of gown that makes an entrance. The Black colorway reads as polished and dramatic — the beaded neckline reflects light without being over the top, and the high slit adds the kind of edge that stands out on a prom floor or at a formal evening event. The White version has a crispness to it that works equally well for a formal dance or an evening gala. This gown is a strong choice for prom, formal dances, and evening events where a fitted, statement silhouette is the goal.

For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal or a pointed-toe stiletto works best — both elongate the leg that shows through the slit. Keep jewelry minimal: a set of ear cuffs or drop earrings pairs well with the bare neckline and sweetheart edge. The beaded trim does the decorative work at the top, so you do not need a necklace. A small clutch in a matching or contrasting metallic finishes the look cleanly. Both Black and White are in stock.
