Description
About the Dress: Clarisse 62299
Clarisse 62299 is a long, strapless, sweetheart fitted gown built around a sheer illusion mesh corset bodice that runs from the neckline to the hips. The corset section is fully boned, with beading running along every boning channel, making the structure of the dress part of its look. Below the corset, the skirt is a smooth satin with a deep front high-slit trimmed with matching beading, and the back opens dramatically, showing nearly the entire back through and around the corset panel. This is a bold, high-impact gown designed to stand out.
Fit & Silhouette
Clarisse 62299 fits closely through the bust, waist, and hips — a true fitted silhouette. The fully boned corset panel does most of the structural work, holding the bodice securely without straps. The sweetheart neckline sits low and curved at the front, framing the neckline cleanly. The satin skirt falls straight and sleek to the floor with the high front slit allowing full movement. This dress fits best when sized to the bust and waist, as the boning gives shape but does not stretch. If you are between sizes, size up and have the waist taken in.
Fabric & Detail
The bodice is made from a sheer mesh illusion fabric with visible boning channels running vertically through the panel. Each boning channel is accented with beading, so the structure of the corset becomes a decorative feature. The skirt is a high-sheen satin that reflects light cleanly and sits smoothly over the hips. The front slit edge is finished with a beaded trim that connects visually to the bodice. The open back is bordered by the corset panel on each side, so the boning detail is visible from the back as well. Photographed in Steel Blue and Fuchsia.
Key Features
- Strapless sweetheart neckline
- Fully boned illusion mesh corset bodice with beaded boning channels
- High-sheen satin skirt with deep front high-slit
- Beaded slit trim connecting bodice and skirt detail
- Dramatically open back framed by boned corset panel
- Illusion-back construction visible from rear

Style & Occasion
Clarisse 62299 is built for moments where the dress needs to make a strong impression on its own. It is a natural fit for prom, pageant competitions, formal evening events, and galas. The combination of a beaded corset bodice, front high-slit, and open back places it firmly in the category of statement gowns rather than understated formal wear. Style it with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewelry — the beading on the bodice does the work. Hair worn up emphasizes both the sweetheart neckline at the front and the open back. Available in Steel Blue and Fuchsia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clarisse 62299 is an overtly glamorous gown — strapless sweetheart neckline, beaded illusion corset, high front slit, and a dramatically open back. That combination puts it firmly in the category of high-impact formal gowns, and it is best suited to events where that level of drama is expected or celebrated.
Prom is the clearest fit. This is exactly the kind of gown that reads as a prom statement piece — the beading, the structure, the slit, and the open back all signal that this dress was made for a grand entrance. It will stand out on the dance floor and photograph beautifully in group photos and portrait settings.
Pageant competitions are another natural home for Clarisse 62299. The fully boned corset, the beaded detailing along every boning channel, and the long satin skirt with beaded slit trim give it the polished, stage-ready quality that pageant judging rewards. The open back and high slit add the kind of drama that reads from a distance under stage lighting.
Formal evening events and galas are appropriate for this dress when the dress code calls for floor-length formal wear and a high level of embellishment is welcome. Bear in mind that the open back and high slit make this gown notably bold — it fits best in settings where dramatic styling is the norm rather than the exception.
As a wedding guest, this gown suits evening or black-tie receptions best, where its open back and high slit are right at home. The combination of the open back, the high front slit, and the strapless sweetheart neckline makes it too revealing for a guest role, where the expectation is that the dress complements rather than competes with the wedding party.
If you are trying to decide whether this dress fits a specific event, the best question to ask is whether the dress code and atmosphere welcome a fully-exposed back and a thigh-high front slit. If the answer is yes, Clarisse 62299 will deliver. If the event calls for something more covered or conservative, this particular style is not the right match, and there are other Clarisse options worth looking at in the same price range.
Clarisse 62299 is built around a fully boned illusion mesh corset bodice, and that construction does a lot of the shaping work regardless of your natural proportions. The boning runs vertically from the sweetheart neckline down through the hips, which creates a long, defined midsection and pulls the torso into a smooth, structured column. That vertical structure is genuinely flattering on most body types because it elongates the waist rather than cutting across it.
For those with a fuller bust, the sweetheart neckline frames the décolletage without relying on straps, and the boning provides enough support that the dress holds its shape throughout the night. The corset does not compress — it structures — so it sits comfortably even over a rounder midsection. The fitted satin skirt continues the clean vertical line from the corset, which keeps the silhouette long rather than wide.
For those with a straighter figure, the boning and the curved sweetheart neckline create the illusion of a more defined waist and a fuller bust. The corset panel adds visual texture and dimension at the torso, so the figure reads as more sculpted even without a dramatic natural curve.
For petite wearers, the high front slit is a significant advantage. It breaks the floor-length hemline and shows leg, which adds visual height. The unbroken vertical line from neckline to hem — no waistband, no break in fabric — keeps the silhouette tall. If you are on the shorter side, it is worth considering a slight hem alteration so the dress skims the floor cleanly rather than pooling.
For taller figures, the full-length satin skirt and the dramatic open back work together to create a strong, proportional look from every angle. This dress photographs exceptionally well on taller frames because there is enough fabric and detail to fill the frame without the proportions feeling off.
One practical note: because the bodice is boned and structured, the fit at the bust and waist is the priority. If you are between sizes, size to the larger measurement and plan for any waist adjustment with a local tailor. The corset structure makes standard waist alterations straightforward.
Clarisse 62299 ships from Marlas Fashions warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders shipping from the Toronto location. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. If you have a firm event date, check the calendar when you order — 7 to 12 business days does not include weekends or holidays, so build in a buffer of at least two to three extra days when calculating.
Rush shipping is available if you need the dress faster. Contact the Marlas team to confirm rush options and current timelines before placing your order, because availability depends on warehouse stock and your destination. US and Canadian customers do not pay import duties or customs fees — that cost is covered. International orders ship worldwide with tracking, so you can follow your package from dispatch to delivery.
Once your order ships, you will receive tracking information so you know exactly where the dress is. If you are ordering for a specific event like prom or a pageant, ordering as early as possible gives you time to receive the dress, try it on, and get any alterations done before the event date.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on eligible items. You have three options: store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different style or size, or a refund with a 30% restocking fee deducted from the original purchase price. The restocking fee applies to refunds only — store credit and exchanges do not carry that deduction.
For a gown like Clarisse 62299, the most practical approach if you are unsure about fit is to order early, try it on as soon as it arrives, and decide before your alteration window closes. Because the bodice is boned and the silhouette is fitted, trying it on before committing to alterations is the right move. Alterations to a boned corset are possible but more involved than altering a simple seam, so confirm the fit is right before handing it off to a tailor.
If you need to start a return or have a question about the process, reach out to the Marlas team directly. They can walk you through the steps and confirm current eligibility based on your order details.
The back on Clarisse 62299 is not a traditional lace-up corset back in the sense of a separate closure panel. The entire back of the dress is constructed from the same sheer illusion mesh corset panel that forms the front bodice — the boning runs through that panel from front to back, and the back is largely open, with the corset structure framing and defining the open area rather than covering it.
Because the back is open by design rather than closed by lacing, there is no lace-up mechanism to loosen or tighten for fit adjustment. The fit is set by the boning structure itself. This means getting the right size at order is especially important — the corset panel holds its shape, which is what gives the dress its clean silhouette, but it does not flex the way a tie-back lacing system does.
If you are between sizes, the standard recommendation applies: size to the larger measurement, particularly the bust, and work with a tailor on any waist adjustment. A skilled seamstress can take in the side seams of the satin skirt without disturbing the corset construction. Any alteration to the corset panel itself is more complex and should be discussed with the tailor before committing.
Yes, and this gown works well as an anchor piece in a group precisely because its look is distinctive rather than generic. The beaded illusion corset and the high front slit give it enough visual separation from a bridesmaid-style coordinated group that it reads as the focal gown without clashing.
For a prom group, court members or friends wearing simpler fitted satin gowns or shorter styles in complementary colors — a deep navy or a soft blush alongside the Fuchsia, for example — will let Clarisse 62299 stand out without the group looking mismatched. The beaded corset is the detail that sets it apart, so court dresses without heavy beading create natural contrast.
For a pageant setting with a damas or court group, the same principle applies. Keeping the accompanying dresses in a cleaner, less embellished style lets the structured corset and beading on Clarisse 62299 read as the statement piece it is. Steel Blue coordinates naturally with silver, white, or navy. Fuchsia pairs well with black or deep jewel tones.
If the group wants a fully coordinated color story, both colorways — Steel Blue and Fuchsia — are currently available, so smaller groups can mix the two and still read as intentionally coordinated.
Clarisse 62299 runs true to standard formal wear sizing, but because the bodice is fully boned, the fit is more precise than a dress with stretch or adjustment room. The boning creates a fixed structure, so there is less tolerance for being between sizes at the bust and waist than you would have with a stretchy fabric.
Measure your bust, waist, and hips before ordering and compare to the Clarisse size chart. If your measurements put you at the boundary between two sizes, size up. It is much simpler for a tailor to take in the satin skirt at the side seams than to let out a boned bodice, and a fitted satin gown taken in at the waist still looks sharp and deliberate.
If you are ordering in Fuchsia or Steel Blue specifically, both colorways are cut identically — the construction and sizing are the same across both options. There is no difference in fit between colorways.
Clarisse 62299 has built-in support through the fully boned corset bodice. The boning runs vertically through the sheer mesh panel from neckline to hip, providing structural lift and shape without the need for a separate bra. Most wearers do not need additional undergarments for the upper body — the corset does that work.
Because the back is dramatically open and the dress is strapless, a traditional bra is not an option. Stick-on or adhesive bra cups are an option for wearers who want supplemental lift, but given the boning in the corset panel, most people find they do not need them.
For the lower half, a seamless or thong-style undergarment works best under the fitted satin skirt. The satin is smooth and relatively unforgiving, so anything with visible lines will show through. Shapewear that ends at mid-thigh or above is compatible with the high front slit without creating bunching or visible lines at the hemline.
