Mac Duggal 55995 Halter Pleated Bodice Fitted Satin Floor-Length Gown
About the Dress: Mac Duggal 55995
Mac Duggal 55995 is a floor-length plum purple satin gown built around a dramatic halter neckline with a crossed, fanned pleating detail that spreads across the entire bodice. The pleats radiate outward from the crossed neck point in fine vertical folds, giving the bust a sculpted, structured look that sets this gown apart from standard halter styles. The skirt flows smooth and body-skimming all the way to the floor, completing a sleek, long silhouette that reads evening-ready from every angle.
Fit & Silhouette
Mac Duggal 55995 fits close through the bust, waist, and hips — a true fitted silhouette with no extra volume or layering. The skirt follows the body's natural line from hip to hem, with only a slight sweep at the floor. This is not a ballgown and not a mermaid — it is a straight, body-skimming evening gown that works best when ordered to your exact measurements. The halter construction holds the bodice in place at the neck, so the fit across the upper body is secure. Because the back is completely open down to below the waist, there is no zipper or closure at the back until below the open section, where a small center-back zip finishes the skirt. Sizing to your bust and hip measurements is the most important step — check the Mac Duggal size chart and compare to your actual measurements before ordering.
Fabric & Detail
Mac Duggal 55995 is constructed in satin, chosen for its smooth surface and the way it catches light along the body. The plum purple colorway photographs richly and reads as a deep, confident evening color. The standout construction detail is the pleated bodice: fine vertical pleats in the satin fabric are gathered from the crossed halter point and fanned across the bust, creating a draped effect that is built into the dress rather than added on top. There is no beading, no embellishment, no lace, and no appliqué anywhere on the gown — the pleating alone does all the work. The back is completely bare from the halter tie at the nape of the neck down past the waistline, a design choice that keeps the dress sleek and deliberate.

Style & Occasion
Mac Duggal 55995 suits prom, formal evening events, galas, and upscale evening functions where a sleek long gown is the right call. The plum purple satin and deeply open back make this a statement piece rather than a background dress — it works when you want your gown to speak for itself without accessories doing the heavy lifting. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals, a simple clutch, and minimal jewelry so the pleated bodice stays the focal point. A delicate ear cuff or single drop earring works well with the halter neckline. Because the back is fully open, a traditional bra is not an option — built-in cups or adhesive support are the practical choices. This gown is available in plum purple. Marlas Fashions is an authorized Mac Duggal retailer with over 40 years in the business, and every dress is inspected before it ships.
