Description
About the Dress: Clarisse 62162
The Clarisse 62162 is a long fitted gown built around a heavily beaded illusion corset bodice with visible boning channels and a satin skirt layered in multiple tiered ruffles. The silhouette fits close through the bust, waist, and hips, then breaks into cascading ruffle tiers from the lower hip down — a dramatic shape that is entirely its own. A front high slit and a fully open lace-up back complete a look that is bold, structural, and genuinely show-stopping. Available in Red and Yellow.
Fit & Silhouette
Clarisse 62162 is a fitted gown — close through the bust, waist, and hips all the way down. The boning in the illusion bodice gives the top real structure and support, holding you in place without needing a separate corset or strapless bra. From the lower hip, tiered satin ruffles fan out and sweep into a short train at the back. The front high slit opens up the silhouette for movement and adds a confident, high-fashion edge. The lace-up back is fully adjustable, which means you can customise the fit across the waist and back for your exact shape. This is not a fitted — the fitted line runs straight through the hips and the drama comes from the ruffles and the slit, not a flare at the knee.
Fabric & Detail
The bodice of Clarisse 62162 is an illusion panel covered in dense beading and embroidery over a structured boning framework — the sheer mesh underneath stays in the background; what you see is the beadwork and the boning channels. The skirt is smooth satin, which creates a clean contrast between the heavily embellished top and the fluid lower half. The tiered ruffles are multiple distinct layers of satin — not a single flounce — so they hold their shape and move with volume as you walk. A short satin train adds length at the back. The lace-up crisscross closure across the fully open back is both functional and a design detail on its own.

Style & Occasion
Clarisse 62162 is built for prom, pageant competitions, and high-impact formal evenings where the dress is meant to be the statement. The beaded bodice, open lace-up back, front slit, and tiered ruffle skirt together read as Miss Universe-level dressing — polished and powerful rather than understated. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals or pointed-toe heels to keep the line clean. Jewellery can stay minimal — the bodice does the work — or you can go full drama with chandelier earrings and a sleek updo. The Yellow colourway photographs bright and warm; Red is deep and high-contrast. Both read as confident, intentional choices. Marlas Fashions is an authorised Clarisse retailer with over 40 years in the business. Every dress is inspected before it ships. Questions about sizing or styling? Our team is here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Clarisse 62162 has a structured illusion corset bodice with clearly visible boning channels — this is real boning, not just a lightly lined top. The boning holds the bodice firmly in place around your ribs and chest, so for most people this gown is completely self-supporting without any additional undergarment underneath the top. You do not need a strapless bra. The illusion mesh panel that sits under the beadwork creates a snug, skin-tone foundation, so the bodice stays anchored from the moment you lace up the back.
For the lower half, the satin skirt is smooth and fitted through the hips, so you will want a seamless or minimal brief — nothing with thick seams or lace edges that might show through the satin. A Spanx-style mid-thigh shaper works well if you want extra compression from the waist down, and it will not compete with the fitted silhouette.
The lace-up back is the key adjustment tool for this gown. It can be tightened or loosened across the full back panel, which means if the bodice runs slightly loose in your size, lacing it tighter at the top and through the waist will bring it in. If you are between sizes, this closure is your friend — it gives you roughly an inch or more of genuine adjustment without any alterations needed. That said, the boning does sit best when the bodice is sized correctly through the chest, so if you are between a smaller and larger size and have a fuller chest, size up and lace it tighter rather than forcing a smaller size.
Because the slit is at the front and is quite high, a thigh-high or stay-up stocking can work, but many people choose bare legs or a barely-visible stocking underneath — the slit is a feature, so anything you wear beneath it will be visible. Nude or skin-tone sheer hosiery disappears the best if you prefer coverage.
If you have any specific questions about your measurements and how they map to Clarisse sizing, our team can go through the size chart with you in detail before you order. Reach out any time and we will help you land on the right size with confidence.
The Clarisse 62162 is designed for high-impact formal events where making a statement is the whole point. The combination of a fully open lace-up back, a front high slit, a heavily beaded illusion boned bodice, and tiered ruffle skirt puts this firmly in Miss Universe territory — it is prom, pageant, and dramatic evening wear.
For prom, this is an excellent choice. It has the silhouette, the embellishment level, and the drama that prom calls for. Whether you are going for a classic red-carpet-inspired look in Red or something that really stands out in Yellow, this gown photographs beautifully and holds its shape all night because of the boning.
For pageant competitions, the Clarisse 62162 is a natural fit. The beaded bodice, the slit, the open back, and the ruffle train hit every note of competition-gown styling. It reads polished from the front and dramatic from the back, which matters when you are on a stage.
For formal evenings more generally — a gala, an awards night, a formal dance — this works well for anyone who wants to be noticed. It is not a background dress. If the event calls for formal attire and you want to arrive in something that reads as intentional and high-fashion, the 62162 delivers.
As a wedding guest, the open back and high front slit suit evening receptions and black-tie affairs best, where a more dramatic silhouette is welcome. The fully open back and the high front slit make it too exposed for most wedding settings, and the bold, overtly sexy silhouette is more stage-ready than church-or-reception appropriate. It is also not the right choice for semi-formal events like grade-8 graduations or cocktail parties where a long structured gown would be overdressed.
In terms of how it feels to be in: the boning holds you in securely, so you will feel supported rather than exposed. The slit gives you room to walk and move naturally. The tiered ruffles add volume at the lower half without being stiff. Most people describe gowns like this as feeling more secure than they look, precisely because the structure does the work. If you are used to wearing strapless or lightly structured dresses and felt uncertain about them, the Clarisse 62162 is a more secure option than it might appear from photos.
The front high slit is the key to comfort and movement in this gown. Because the skirt is fitted through the hips and thighs, the slit opens the lower half of the dress so you can walk with a full stride, climb stairs, and dance without any of the hobbling that sometimes comes with a tight fitted skirt. The slit is generous enough that movement never feels restricted.
The boning in the bodice is firm but not painful. It functions like a built-in corset — it keeps you upright, holds the bodice in place, and actually reduces the effort of staying posture-perfect throughout a long event. After the first hour most people stop noticing the structure and just feel held.
The tiered satin ruffles are fluid and lightweight, so they move with you. They do not add bulk or stiffness to your stride. The short train at the back is worth being aware of when you turn quickly or step backward — just a natural adjustment you make once or twice and then it becomes automatic.
For dancing specifically: the slit handles fast movement well. Slow dancing is easy given the structured bodice and the way the ruffle skirt drapes. If you plan to dance heavily all night, wear shoes you can move in rather than very high stilettos — the gown will be comfortable; your feet are the variable.
Both colorways in the Clarisse 62162 photograph with high contrast, but they do read slightly differently in person depending on your lighting environment.
The Red is a true, saturated red — not coral, not burgundy. In studio lighting it photographs as bold and deep. In person under warm room lighting it stays rich and warm; under cooler or stage lighting it stays pure red. It is a classic, crowd-pleasing choice that photographs cleanly in both close-up and wide shots.
The Yellow is bright and warm, closer to a golden-yellow than a pale lemon. In photos it can read very vibrant and occasionally slightly more saturated than it appears in person, where it has a softer, almost satin-warm quality to it. Under stage lighting or spot lighting at prom it photographs beautifully. If you have a warm skin tone, Yellow is particularly flattering. If you have a cooler skin tone, Red tends to give more contrast.
For pageant, both colours work well on stage. Red is a safe, high-visibility choice. Yellow stands out from the crowd in a way that Red does not always in a large field.
If you are undecided, consider the backdrop and the lighting at your venue. Dark or neutral backgrounds make Yellow pop dramatically. Red reads powerfully in almost any setting.
Our team can talk you through both options if you send us your venue details or a photo reference of what you are working with.
The beaded illusion bodice and satin skirt both need gentle handling. For spot cleaning after wearing, use a soft damp cloth on the satin — blot rather than rub, and avoid any solvent-based cleaner on the beading. If the dress needs a full clean, professional dry cleaning is the right route. Make sure the dry cleaner has experience with heavily beaded formal gowns before you hand it over, and show them the illusion bodice panel specifically.
For storage, hang the gown on a padded hanger and cover it in a breathable garment bag — not a plastic dry-cleaning bag, which traps moisture. Store it in a cool, dry space away from direct light, which can shift the colour of the satin over time.
For travel, the best method is to lay the gown flat in a suitcase with tissue paper between the ruffle layers. The tiered ruffles will need a gentle steam to re-fluff on arrival — low heat, held at a distance, never pressing an iron directly onto the beading or the satin. A handheld steamer works well for the satin skirt sections. Do not steam directly over the beadwork.
The lace-up back ribbon or cord should be loosely tied rather than left taut during storage and travel to avoid creasing the surrounding fabric along the closure line.
Because the bodice does the heavy lifting on embellishment, accessories can stay minimal and still look complete. A strappy heeled sandal — metallic gold, silver, or a nude tone — works well with both the Red and Yellow versions without competing with the beadwork. A pointed-toe pump or a block-heel sandal also works if you need more stability for dancing.
For jewellery, the open back and the beaded bodice mean you have a choice of approaches. The first option is to keep it minimal — small stud earrings or a delicate ear cuff, no necklace (the neckline and the bodice together fill that space), and a slim bracelet or ring. This reads as very polished and intentional. The second option is to go fully dramatic — chandelier or drop earrings that catch stage light, a sleek updo to show off the open back, and bold earrings as the single statement piece.
Avoid layered necklaces against the beaded bodice — they compete and tend to catch on the beadwork. A simple hair clip or a pinned updo pairs better with the open back than loose hair, which covers one of the gown's strongest design features.
A small satin clutch in a metallic or matching tone keeps the accessories clean and event-appropriate. For Yellow, gold metallic accessories are a natural pairing. For Red, both gold and silver work depending on your skin tone.
The fitted silhouette of the Clarisse 62162 works best when you are comfortable with a close-fit through the hips and thighs. The boning in the bodice creates a defined waist and holds the chest firmly, which is genuinely flattering across a wide range of body types — it smooths and lifts without requiring you to do anything.
For hourglass figures, the fitted waist-to-hip line is a natural match. For straighter figures, the boning and the ruffle volume at the lower half create the illusion of a more defined waist-to-hip ratio. For pear-shaped figures, the heavily embellished bodice draws the eye upward and balances the silhouette.
The high front slit elongates the leg, which helps in terms of perceived height. If you are on the shorter side, pairing this with a higher heel and having the hem altered to sit just above the floor is the most flattering approach. If you are taller, the train at the back adds length that carries beautifully.
For fuller figures, the lace-up back is a genuine practical advantage — it adjusts to your shape rather than forcing you into a fixed back panel. The tiered ruffles add volume at the lower half in a way that balances broader shoulders or a fuller bust rather than emphasising them. The key is getting the bodice sized correctly through the chest and letting the lace-up do the rest of the work.
