Clarisse 810180 Fitted Jersey Gown with Ruching & Crisscross Open Back

This is a dress that earns its presence in the room through fit and form rather than embellishment — the fabric does the work, and the open-back construction makes an impression from every angle.

Fit & Silhouette

Clarisse 810180 is cut fitted from shoulder to floor, contouring through the bust, waist, and hips without any flare or volume. The stretch jersey fabric moves with the body, which makes the fit feel precise without being restrictive. The ruching at the stomach and hip area is both decorative and practical — it helps the gown accommodate natural curves and smooths the fit across the midsection.

The front high slit adds freedom of movement while keeping the silhouette sleek from the front. The sweep train adds just enough drama at the hem without being a full floor-length ball. This gown is best suited to customers who want the dress to fit closely and confidently from every angle.

Fabric & Detail

The gown is constructed from a smooth matte stretch jersey — a fine-gauge knit that holds its shape, resists wrinkling, and lies flat against the body without pulling or bunching. There is no satin sheen and no surface embellishment: this is a clean, understated fabric choice that keeps attention on the silhouette.

The ruching is gathered across the stomach and hip, adding texture exactly where the body has the most movement. The crisscross lace-up construction on the back is both structural and visual — the straps cross over an otherwise fully open back, creating a detail that reads clearly from behind. The double shoulder straps on each side are integrated into the neckline and give the front of the dress a refined, secure look.

Style & Occasion

The Clarisse 810180 is an ideal choice for prom, formal dances, and evening events where the dress code calls for a long gown and a bold silhouette. The form-fitting cut and open back make it best suited to events where that level of confidence is part of the look — prom night and formal evening occasions are where it performs best.

For styling, this gown pairs well with strappy heeled sandals or pointed-toe heels in a neutral or complementary tone. Keep jewelry minimal: a simple pendant necklace or small earrings let the back construction and the silhouette do the talking. A small clutch in metallic or tonal color completes the look without competing with the dress.

Cornflower Blue photographs with a purple-leaning blue tone in certain lighting conditions — in person it reads as a true cool blue-violet. Forest Green is a rich, saturated deep green. Both colorways are available and fully photographed.
