Clarisse 811139 Long Fitted Mermaid Glitter Jersey Gown with Open Back

The front opens in a deep v-neck plunge held by wide shoulder straps that frame the décolletage. The back is fully open from the strap attachment down to the low back, giving the gown its most striking feature: a long uninterrupted expanse of bare skin that makes Clarisse 811139 one of the boldest silhouettes in the collection. Clarisse 811139 is available in Steel Blue and Dusty Pink.

Fit & Silhouette

This dress is cut to fit close through the bust, waist, and hips — the stretch jersey moves with the body rather than against it, which is why it reads sleek rather than stiff. The structured bodice keeps everything in place; internal seaming provides shape and support through the torso. From the knee down the skirt opens into a sweeping flare, giving the classic mermaid silhouette with a generous train that photographs beautifully at any angle.

Because the fit is body-conscious from shoulder to knee, ordering true to size is important. The stretch allows some flexibility but this is not a dress that runs loose — if you are between sizes, size up for comfort.

Fabric & Detail

The base fabric is stretch glitter jersey: a soft knit construction with fine glitter embedded throughout the weave. It drapes smoothly, catches light evenly at every angle, and stretches enough for dancing and movement without losing its shape. The glitter is uniform across the entire garment — bodice, hip, and skirt all shimmer at the same intensity, so there are no dull patches when the dress moves.

The structured vertical seaming in the bodice adds internal shaping. The gown finishes in a sweep train — not so long that walking becomes difficult, but long enough to trail beautifully on a dance floor or a red carpet entrance.

Style & Occasion

Clarisse 811139 is built for prom, formal events, evening galas, and any occasion where a bold, body-conscious silhouette is the goal. The open back and deep plunge make it a statement piece — pair it with a simple metallic strappy heel (silver works with both colorways) and keep jewelry minimal: a thin chain or small drop earrings let the dress carry the look.

Steel Blue photographs as a cool, medium-toned blue with a silver-leaning shimmer — it reads almost grey-blue in lower light and bright electric blue under event lighting. Dusty Pink is a muted, rose-toned pink with a warm shimmer; it photographs lighter than it appears in person and flatters a wide range of skin tones. Both colorways are equally available and ship from Marlas Fashions' Los Angeles and New York warehouses.
