Description
About the Dress: LaDivine CD697
The LaDivine CD697 is a strapless mermaid gown engineered around a single design conviction: that a beautifully beaded corset bodice and a tightly fitted mermaid silhouette are each other's ideal partner. The intricate beadwork of the LaDivine CD697 covers the sculpted corset zone from the strapless edge downward, creating a surface that is simultaneously structured and luminous — each bead secured within the corset architecture at a precise angle to maximize light return from stage, chandelier, and flash photography simultaneously.
The mermaid silhouette of the LaDivine CD697 curves closely through the hips and thighs before the skirt flares at the knee, creating the dramatic silhouette transition that defines this construction type. The LaDivine CD697 does not flare aggressively — the skirt opens with a controlled elegance that keeps the fitted quality dominant while providing enough floor-level volume to generate genuine movement. The train extending from the hem adds the ceremonial rear profile that completes the LaDivine CD697's formal authority.
Five colorways in the LaDivine CD697: Dusty Blue, Peacock, Rose Gold, Sage, and Silver. Peacock is the most distinctive of the five — a deep, saturated teal-green that photographs with exceptional jewel-toned depth and is among the most fashion-forward formal choices for 2027. Rose Gold delivers warmth and celebration energy; Silver is the classic high-luminosity option; Dusty Blue and Sage provide the most contemporary and trend-aligned choices for spring and summer formal events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Peacock in the LaDivine CD697 is a rich, multi-toned blue-green — deeper and more complex than standard teal, with both blue and green components present at full saturation simultaneously. It reads as jewel-toned and distinctly luxurious under event lighting, developing a dimensional quality that simpler single-toned colors lack. We recommend texting us at +1 416-536-2956 or messaging us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 for a color reference photo before ordering. Our team typically responds within 30 minutes — and if we don't, you'll receive $5 off your dress.
The mermaid construction of the LaDivine CD697 is fitted through the hips and upper thighs — it requires conscious sizing to ensure the hip measurement allows comfortable seated and walking movement. We recommend confirming measurements carefully against the size chart and erring toward the larger size if measurements fall between two options. The corset bodice provides even structural support throughout, and the skirt's controlled flare from the knee down gives adequate walking ease. We recommend texting us at +1 416-536-2956 or messaging us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 for sizing guidance. Our team typically responds within 30 minutes — and if we don't, you'll receive $5 off your dress.
The strapless neckline of the LaDivine CD697 is anchored through the structured corset bodice — the corset's boning holds the neckline edge at its intended position independent of shoulder friction. The mermaid construction's close fit through the body also helps prevent downward shift. Most wearers find the LaDivine CD697 completely secure through active dancing, though a small piece of fashion tape at the interior neckline edge adds extra confidence for high-energy events.
Yes — fully authorized. Every LaDivine CD697 we ship is brand new, sourced directly from LaDivine, and arrives in its original never-worn condition. We do not carry samples, replicas, or previously altered garments.
Standard delivery to USA and Canada takes 4–8 business days from dispatch. Most orders ship within 1–2 business days.
