Description
About the Dress: Clarisse 63198
Clarisse 63198 is a long, fitted glitter jersey gown built around maximum visual impact. It features a sweetheart neckline with spaghetti straps, waist ruching, a front high slit, and a crisscross lace-up back with substantial open-back exposure. Available in Electric Blue, Electric Pink, Electric Orange, and Electric Purple, this gown is designed for anyone who wants to be the one people are watching when they walk into the room.
Fit & Silhouette
Clarisse 63198 is cut to follow the body closely from the sweetheart neckline all the way through the hips. The silhouette is sleek and body-conscious — fitted at the bust, pulled in at the waist with gathered ruching, and smooth through the hips. The front high slit adds movement and legroom without breaking the clean line of the skirt. The crisscross lace-up back allows for some fit adjustment at the waist and back, which is helpful when you land between standard sizes. This style runs true to size in most cases, though the fitted nature means we recommend going up a size if you are in between.
Fabric & Detail
The fabric is a glitter jersey — a stretch knit with a glitter finish built into the weave. It catches light across the full surface of the dress, giving every colorway a luminous, high-energy look under event lighting. The stretch in the jersey base means the fabric moves with you rather than against you. Ruching at the stomach and waist area not only adds visual shape but also provides a flattering, smoothing effect at the midsection. The crisscross lacing at the back is both a functional closure and a standout design detail visible from behind.

- Sweetheart neckline with spaghetti straps
- Ruching at the waist and stomach area
- Front high slit for ease of movement
- Crisscross lace-up back with open-back exposure

Style & Occasion
Clarisse 63198 is built for prom, pageant competitions, formal galas, and evening events where a bold, body-conscious look is the goal. The electric colorways — Blue, Pink, Orange, and Purple — photograph exceptionally well and hold their vibrancy under stage and ballroom lighting, making this a strong choice for pageant contestants and prom-goers alike. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals, a simple clutch, and minimal jewelry to keep the focus on the dress itself. The glitter fabric does the heavy lifting — avoid over-accessorizing. For a coordinated group or court, the four available colorways allow you to dress a full damas lineup in complementary electric tones while keeping each look distinct.

Frequently Asked Questions
The combination of details on Clarisse 63198 is harder to find in one gown than it might seem. Most fitted glitter gowns give you the fabric and the silhouette, but they stop there. This one layers in waist ruching that actually shapes the midsection, a front high slit that opens up the skirt for real movement, and a crisscross lace-up back with a nearly fully open back — so the front of the dress does the drama and the back continues it. That open back is a significant design element. When you turn around at prom or on a pageant stage, there is nothing hidden — the crisscross lacing frames the back and the skin showing around it is intentional and striking.
The glitter here is woven directly into the jersey knit rather than applied as a surface coating. That matters because it means the shimmer is uniform across the entire dress on every colorway, it does not flake or catch on things the way applied glitter can, and the stretch of the jersey base is preserved. The fabric moves with you rather than pulling against you, which is a real advantage in a long fitted gown with a slit.
The electric colorways are another differentiator. Electric Orange, Electric Pink, Electric Blue, and Electric Purple are all vivid, saturated tones. They are not subtle fashion colors — they are designed to be seen across a ballroom or under stage lighting. If you are comparing this to a gown in a dusty rose or champagne beige, you are looking at two completely different visual statements. This gown is for someone who wants to be unmistakable.
The waist ruching is also doing practical work beyond aesthetics. Gathered fabric at the stomach area smooths and flatters the midsection in a way that a plain stretch jersey without ruching does not. If you carry any self-consciousness about that area, the ruching works in your favor — it adds texture and dimension right where a plain gown would be most form-revealing.
Finally, the spaghetti straps give you shoulder support and keep the sweetheart neckline in place without bulk. There is no boning in this style, so the jersey stretch and the straps together handle support. That makes the gown lighter and more comfortable for a long evening than a heavily structured bodice would be.
Clarisse 63198 is best suited to prom, pageant competitions, formal galas, and evening events where bold, body-conscious styling is expected and welcomed. These are the occasions where an electric-color glitter gown with an open back and a front slit fits the room perfectly. The dress was designed to make an entrance at exactly these kinds of events.
For prom, this gown is a natural fit. It photographs exceptionally well, holds its color vibrancy under gymnasium and hotel ballroom lighting, and the front high slit makes dancing practical in a long gown. The electric colorways are popular at prom precisely because they stand out in group photos and under colored event lighting.
For pageant competitions — local, regional, or scholarship pageants — the fully glitter-embellished surface, the fitted silhouette, and the dramatic back make this gown a strong stage choice. The open-back detail reads clearly from a distance, which is important in a pageant context where the judges see you from the front walking in and from the back walking away.
For formal galas and evening events, the same qualities apply. If the dress code is black-tie adjacent or formal, and the event welcomes dramatic fashion choices, Clarisse 63198 works.
For mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom roles, the fitted silhouette and open back tend to shift focus away from the couple, so a more covered style is usually the better choice; the same applies to business-formal or semi-formal dress codes, where the dramatic styling is generally a mismatch. The high slit and open back also mean this is not suited to conservative religious ceremonies or events with a covered-dress expectation.
If your event has a formal dress code but you are unsure whether this level of drama fits, our team is happy to help you think it through — text or WhatsApp us and describe the event, and we will give you an honest answer.
The crisscross back on Clarisse 63198 is a lace-up closure that ties at the top or center of the back. The lacing crosses back and forth between a row of loops or rings on each side of the back opening, and you tighten or loosen it to dial in the fit across your back and waist. When tied snugly, it holds the gown securely in place. When loosened slightly, it allows you to let out a small amount of room — typically up to about an inch on each side.
This is useful if you are between sizes. If your bust measurement puts you in one size but your waist or hips push toward the next, the lace-up can help bridge that gap without needing an alteration. It is also useful if your measurements change slightly between the time you order and the time you wear the dress.
The lacing is part of the visual design as well as the function — the crisscross pattern is a deliberate detail that frames the open back. A tailor can adjust the length of the laces or replace them if needed, but the standard lacing is long enough to tie neatly and tuck the ends away so they are not visible in photos.
If you need help figuring out which size to order given your measurements, bring your bust, waist, and hip numbers and compare them to the Clarisse size chart.
Yes — Clarisse 63198 is well set up for a coordinated group because all four colorways are the same style, cut, and fabric. Electric Blue, Electric Pink, Electric Orange, and Electric Purple are all vivid, saturated tones that read as a deliberate color family rather than a random mix. Under ballroom or stage lighting they hold their individual vibrancy while clearly belonging to the same palette.
A common approach is to assign one colorway per dama or to split the court into two color pairs — for example, Pink and Purple together, Blue and Orange together — and alternate. Another option is to put the lead or queen in one standout colorway (Electric Orange is particularly striking) and the rest of the court in the remaining three. Because the silhouette, fabric, and detailing are identical across all four, the group reads as unified even when the colors differ.
Ordering a coordinated group? We recommend everyone place their orders at the same time to ensure the colorways are available and can ship together. If your group needs help coordinating sizing or placing a multi-dress order, reach out to us directly and we can walk you through it.
Clarisse 63198 generally runs true to size, but because it is a fitted glitter jersey gown, the fit is body-conscious throughout. There is no structured boning creating extra room in the bodice — the jersey stretch does the work. That means the dress follows your measurements closely.
Take your bust, waist, and hip measurements and compare all three to the Clarisse size chart. If any one measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing up rather than down on a fitted style. The crisscross lace-up back gives you a small amount of adjustment room at the back and waist, which provides a helpful buffer if you are between sizes.
If your hips are noticeably wider than your bust — a common fit challenge in fitted long gowns — size to your hip measurement and plan to have the bodice taken in slightly by a tailor if needed. Letting out the hips of a fitted stretch gown is harder than taking in the bodice.
For the high slit: the slit falls at the front and the opening is generous, so height and stride do not typically cause a fit problem there. If you are petite, plan for hemming at the hem of the skirt rather than at the slit seam. More on that in the alterations FAQ below.
Clarisse 63198 does not have boning or a built-in bra cup structure — the support comes from the spaghetti straps and the fitted jersey holding close to the body. For most wearers, the fit of the dress itself provides enough hold at the bust, particularly when the crisscross lace-up back is tied snugly.
For additional support, a low-back adhesive bra or breast tape works well with the open-back design. Traditional bra straps would be visible against the open back, so they are not a practical option for this style. Seamless or thong undergarments are recommended under the fitted skirt — visible panty lines show through stretch jersey more readily than through structured fabrics.
Body shapers or seamless mid-section shapewear can be worn under the skirt portion of the gown, keeping in mind the front high slit. A slip-style shaper that hits above the slit point works best. Full-length shapers with a leg would interfere with the slit and should be avoided.
Alterations are common on long fitted gowns and Clarisse 63198 is no exception. The most frequent alteration is hemming the skirt length for height. The gown is cut for someone wearing heels in the 3–4 inch range. If you are petite or plan to wear lower heels, the hem will likely need to be shortened.
The front high slit is a separate structural element from the main hem. When a tailor hems this style, they need to shorten from the hem at the base of the skirt while preserving the slit's proportion and opening. An experienced formal-wear tailor will know how to do this — mention the slit specifically when you bring the gown in, and ideally bring the heels you plan to wear so the length is set correctly.
At the bodice, the lace-up back allows for some self-adjustment, but if the bust area needs more than minor tweaking, a tailor can take in the side seams. Jersey fabric is straightforward for most experienced tailors to work with.
We recommend budgeting time for at least one fitting appointment before your event. Order your dress with enough lead time to receive it, try it on, and get to a tailor if needed. Our standard shipping is 7–12 business days, with rush options available.
The electric colorways on Clarisse 63198 — Blue, Pink, Orange, and Purple — are vivid and saturated in person. The glitter jersey fabric amplifies the color intensity because the shimmer reflects light from multiple angles simultaneously. Under warm ballroom or event lighting, all four colorways appear rich and deep. Under cooler or bluer event lighting (common at school proms), the Blue and Purple lean more jewel-toned and the Orange and Pink become very warm and bright.
In photographs, particularly flash photography, glitter fabric tends to catch the light and can make the color appear slightly lighter or more luminous than it looks in natural light. This is generally a flattering effect rather than a distorting one — the gown photographs with a lit-from-within quality that is hard to achieve with matte fabrics.
Choosing between the four: Electric Orange is the most attention-commanding — it is unusual as a formal gown color and very few people will be wearing it in the room. Electric Pink is bold but approachable, strong in photos, and a perennial prom favorite. Electric Blue is versatile across skin tones and photographs with a cool, sharp quality.
