Clarisse 811109 Strapless Beaded Corset Fitted Gown with High Slit

Fit & Silhouette

Clarisse 811109 is cut as a true fitted column — contoured through the bust, waist, and hips without any flare at the knee. The bodice sits flush against the body with structured boning underneath a sheer mesh panel, creating a sculpted waist effect. The skirt stays close through the hips before easing into a gentle sweep at the hem with a sweep train. The front high slit opens the silhouette while keeping the overall line sleek and elongated. Because the slit is at the front and prominent, this gown is classified fitted rather than fitted. It runs true to size — customers between sizes typically size up for comfort through the hip.

Fabric & Detail

The skirt is smooth stretch jersey that drapes fluidly and photographs with a liquid satin-like finish. The upper bodice is constructed over a sheer mesh base with visible boning channels running through it — the boning provides real structure and eliminates the need for an external strapless bra in most cases. The beading is applied densely across the corset zone and extends into cascading floral appliqués that travel from the bodice onto the hip. The back is fully open from the shoulders down, with a lace-up corset closure at center back that allows a custom fit adjustment at the time of wear.

Style & Occasion

Clarisse 811109 is designed for prom and pageant settings where a high-impact entrance is the goal. The open back, front slit, and beaded bodice together create a look that reads confident and polished under ballroom lighting. It photographs exceptionally well for pageant competition rounds. The gown works best styled with an updo to keep the open back as a focal point, strappy heels, and minimal jewelry — the beading does all the heavy lifting. For color guidance: Fuchsia and Royal Blue photograph with strong contrast under stage lighting; Deep Red and Deep Green read richly on camera; Periwinkle gives a softer, slightly ethereal tone.
