Description
About the Dress: Clarisse 62263
The Clarisse 62263 is a long strapless ballgown built around a fully structured corset bodice and a voluminous tiered glitter-tulle skirt. The sweetheart neckline sits at the top of the boned bodice, which features visible boning channels and a sheer illusion mesh panel beneath — giving the top section its shape and hold. The skirt cascades in multiple distinct horizontal ruffle tiers from hip to floor, each layer catching light through the glitter woven into the tulle. This is a dress designed to fill a room and hold its structure all night.
Fit & Silhouette
Clarisse 62263 is a true ballgown — fitted and boned through the bodice, then sweeping out dramatically into a full, floor-length skirt. The corset bodice uses visible boning channels to shape the waist and support the bust without straps. The lace-up back closure at the rear allows the bodice to be adjusted to your exact measurements, which is especially useful when you fall between sizes or need a custom fit through the waist. The skirt is deliberately voluminous — expect it to take up space on a dance floor. Overall sizing runs true to size; order based on your actual measurements rather than the size you usually wear in ready-to-wear.
Fabric & Detail
The base fabric is tulle with glitter embedded throughout — not a surface coating, but woven into the tulle itself so the shimmer is consistent and durable. The bodice uses a sheer illusion mesh beneath the boning cage, visible in the front and detail images. The skirt is constructed in multiple tiered horizontal layers of this glitter tulle, each tier a genuine ruffle rather than a single flounce — distinct, cascading, and full. The corset closure at the back uses a lace-up ribbon threading through grommets on both sides of the ballgown body. Boning channels are clearly visible in all front-facing and detail images.
Key Features
- Strapless sweetheart neckline with structured corset bodice
- Visible boning channels for shaping and all-night support
- Sheer illusion mesh panel beneath the boning at the midriff
- Tiered glitter-tulle skirt with multiple cascading horizontal ruffle layers
- Lace-up corset-back closure for an adjustable, precise fit
- Full ballgown silhouette, floor length
- Available in Glitter Pink and Glitter Mint Green
Style & Occasion
The Clarisse 62263 is built for prom, but it reads equally well for a sweet 16, a debut, or any formal or evening event where a full ballgown is appropriate. The glitter-tulle construction catches both overhead ballroom lighting and outdoor flash photography equally well — Glitter Pink photographs warm and vibrant, while Glitter Mint Green photographs cooler and a touch more muted in person than on screen. Both colorways are in stock and photographed on this page. If you are dressing a court or damas group, the structured silhouette and neutral glitter palette coordinate easily with satin or tulle separates in matching tones. For styling, keep jewelry minimal — the tiered skirt and boned bodice carry the look on their own. A simple stud or small drop earring in gold or silver is all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most glitter ballgowns at this price point use a glitter overlay — a separate layer of fabric coated in shimmer and stitched over the base. The Clarisse 62263 does something different: the glitter is embedded directly into the tulle itself, which means the shimmer is consistent across every tier of the skirt and does not catch or separate the way an overlay can after repeated movement. You will not find patches where the glitter has rubbed off or sections that look dull from the back.
The second thing that sets this dress apart is the bodice construction. A lot of ballgowns at this price use a boned interior that you cannot see — the bones are hidden inside a lining and you are essentially trusting the construction. On the Clarisse 62263, the boning channels are fully visible in the front of the bodice, running vertically through the corset. That means you can see exactly where the support is, and the bodice holds its shape throughout the night rather than shifting or collapsing after a few hours of dancing.
The third differentiator is the skirt. Many ballgowns described as having a ruffle skirt actually have a single flounce at the hem — one band of fabric added at the bottom for texture. The Clarisse 62263 has multiple distinct horizontal tiers cascading from the hip to the floor, each one a separate ruffle layer. From across a room this reads as extreme volume and texture. In photographs — especially with overhead lighting or flash — the tiers create distinct shadow lines that make the skirt look structured and intentional rather than simply full.
Finally, the lace-up corset back is functional in a way that a hook-and-eye back is not. You can adjust the back closure at the venue on the day of the event, which matters when you have worn a waist-cinching undergarment that changes your measurements slightly. This is not a dress that locks you into one measurement at the time of fitting.
For a shopper comparing two glitter ballgowns side by side, the Clarisse 62263 is the choice when boning visibility, tiered skirt construction, and a back closure you can actually adjust on the day are the deciding factors.
The Clarisse 62263 is designed for formal events where a full ballgown silhouette is appropriate and expected. It works best for prom, sweet 16 celebrations, debut presentations, and formal evening galas. The combination of a structured corset bodice, a voluminous glitter-tulle skirt, and a tiered ruffle construction is inherently high-drama — this is a dress that announces itself when you walk into a room, and that is exactly what it is built to do at events where that is the goal.
For a quinceañera court — damas or chambelanes — this dress reads well as a pairing with the quinceañera gown itself, particularly in Glitter Pink or Glitter Mint Green if the court is styled in coordinating tones. It is substantial enough to photograph well in group shots without being overpowered by the main gown.
For a sweet 16 or debut, the structured silhouette and boned bodice give the dress a formal authority that works well for a presentation-style event where you are being introduced or walking in a formal procession.
Where it is too much: this dress is not appropriate for a cocktail party, a semi-formal school dance, or a wedding guest situation. The sheer boning panel at the midriff and the overtly party-forward styling mean it does not fit the modesty expectations of a wedding guest dress. It is also genuinely too large and structured for a semi-formal setting — the skirt requires significant floor space, and a venue without a ballroom-style layout will feel cramped. If your event is described as semi-formal or cocktail-attire, this is not the right choice.
For prom specifically: if your venue is a hotel ballroom or a large event space, this dress will look exactly right. If your prom is in a school gymnasium with standard ceiling height, the tiered skirt and volume of the skirt will still work, but you should factor in that the dress requires room to move and photograph properly. Either way, the Clarisse 62263 is built for prom and will perform in that environment.
The back of the Clarisse 62263 uses a lace-up corset closure — a ribbon or cord that threads through grommets on both sides of the back panel and cinches the bodice closed. This is different from a standard zipper because it gives you a range of adjustment at the back rather than a fixed measurement.
The way to use it correctly: when you receive the dress, have someone help you put it on and step into it from the top (do not try to zip or step in from the bottom — there is no zipper). Once the bodice is sitting correctly over your bust and the sweetheart neckline is in the right position, begin lacing from the top grommets downward, keeping even tension on both sides as you go. Tie it off at the bottom with a bow or knot that can be tucked inside the skirt.
If you are between sizes — for example, your bust measures to a size 6 but your waist measures to a size 8 — order the larger size and use the lacing to take in the back. The boning in the bodice will hold the front shape regardless; only the back panel changes with the lacing.
On the day of your event, have a trusted friend or family member do the final lacing.
Yes — the Clarisse 62263 coordinates well with a court or damas group. The two available colorways, Glitter Pink and Glitter Mint Green, are neutral enough in tone that they pair with most coordinating dress colors without clashing.
For a prom court, if the honoree is wearing Glitter Pink, court members often coordinate in dusty rose, blush, or champagne beige. If the honoree is in Glitter Mint Green, sage, seafoam, and soft champagne beige all work well as coordinating tones for the group.
For a debut or sweet 16 court, the structured ballgown silhouette of the 62263 works best when court members are also in ballgown or A-line silhouettes rather than short cocktail styles — mixing a full ballgown with short dresses in the same court can look unbalanced in group photos.
If you are styling the full group, we recommend ordering swatches or requesting a color-match consultation before committing to a court color. The glitter embedded in the tulle photographs differently than flat satin or chiffon, so a color that looks matched in-store may read slightly different in venue photography. Our team can assist with group coordination — text or WhatsApp us if you are styling a full court and want guidance on what coordinates well with the specific colorway you have chosen.
The Clarisse 62263 runs true to size when measured correctly. Clarisse uses standard US formal-wear sizing, which means the dress is sized by bust, waist, and hip measurements — not by the size you normally wear in everyday clothing.
To measure correctly: use a soft measuring tape. Measure your bust at the fullest point, keeping the tape level across your back. Measure your waist at the narrowest point, usually about an inch above the navel. Measure your hips at the fullest point, usually about seven to eight inches below the waist. Use all three measurements against the Clarisse size chart and order the size that fits your largest measurement — the lace-up corset back allows you to take in the back if needed.
If you are between sizes, order up. It is significantly easier to take in excess fabric at the back with the lace-up closure than to let out a dress that is too small. For alterations to the bodice itself — taking in the sides or restructuring the boning panel — you will need a professional seamstress, and that cost and timeline should be factored into your planning.
For height: the dress is designed for approximately 5'7" with a standard heel. If you are shorter, budget for a hem alteration. If you are taller, the dress may hit at mid-calf rather than floor length — try it on with your intended shoes before committing.
The Clarisse 62263 has a fully boned corset bodice with visible boning channels, which means the bodice provides genuine structural support for the bust. Most people with a bust up to a C cup will find the boning alone is sufficient — no additional undergarment needed beneath the bodice.
For a D cup or larger, a strapless adhesive bra or a low-profile underwire bandeau can be worn inside the bodice for added lift. Because the bodice is structured and sits close to the body, there is not a lot of room for a heavily padded bra — a thin adhesive or silicone style works best.
For the skirt: the tiered tulle construction does not require a separate petticoat — the multiple layers of glitter tulle create their own volume. Adding a petticoat underneath can make the skirt even more dramatic, but it is not necessary for the dress to look full.
For smoothing: a high-waist seamless brief or short works well under the skirt and will not be visible beneath the layers. Avoid anything with thick waistbands that might create a visible line beneath the boning at the lower edge of the bodice.
For shapewear: if you prefer a compression garment, a strapless mid-thigh shaper is the most compatible style. Keep in mind that compression garments may change your waist measurement slightly — factor this in when doing your final lacing at the back.

The dress ships carefully packaged and inspected before it leaves our warehouse. Every Clarisse dress we sell is checked before shipping — we are an authorized Clarisse retailer with over 40 years in business. If anything is not right when your order arrives, contact us immediately so we can make it right.
For event planning: we recommend ordering at least three to four weeks before your event to allow time for shipping plus any alterations you may need. If your event is within two weeks, contact us first — we will let you know whether rush delivery is realistic for your specific location before you place the order.
Returns on the Clarisse 62263 are accepted for store credit, exchange, or a refund less a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so if you return a dress and are not ready to choose a replacement right away, your credit stays on account until you need it.
To be eligible for a return, the dress must be unworn, unaltered, and in original condition with all tags attached. If the dress has been altered — hemmed, taken in, or modified in any way — it cannot be returned.
If you ordered the wrong size and need to exchange for a different size, contact us as quickly as possible after receiving the dress. We will check stock availability in your preferred size and walk you through the exchange process.
