About the Dress: Clarisse 810451Clarisse 810451 is a long, body-hugging lace gown built for maximum impact. It runs floor length and fits close to the body from the bust all the way down, with a front-center high slit that opens the silhouette as you move. Lace covers the entire dress — bodice to hem — and a beaded glitter scatter is applied across the lace surface on every colorway. The deep v-neck plunge features a sheer illusion panel at the center chest, keeping the neckline dramatic while still giving structure. Thin spaghetti straps support the bodice from the front.Fit & SilhouetteClarisse 810451 is cut to contour through the bust, waist, and hips without any break in the line. This is a true sleek fitted silhouette — there is no flare, no skirt volume, just a close, smooth line from top to floor. The high front slit allows a full stride and keeps the shape clean when you are standing still. Marlas Fashions recommends ordering your standard size and scheduling a local hemming appointment after arrival, since fitted floor-length gowns almost always need at least a small hem adjustment depending on your height and shoe choice. Size up if you are between sizes.Fabric & DetailThe base fabric is lace with a prominent floral relief pattern across the entire dress — bodice and skirt. A beaded glitter scatter sits over the lace surface throughout, giving every colorway a subtle luminous finish without switching to a full sequin look. The center-front v-plunge features a sheer illusion mesh panel that creates the deep neckline shape. The back construction uses crossing spaghetti straps in an open crisscross pattern, leaving the full back exposed — this is an intentional design feature visible clearly in the back-view images. The bodice has internal structure; boning is probable given the construction but has not been confirmed conclusively from images — contact us before ordering if that detail matters to your decision.Key Features Floor-length fitted silhouette with high front slit Deep v-neck with sheer illusion center plunge panel Full lace construction, bodice to hem, with floral relief pattern Beaded glitter scatter across lace surface on all colorways Open crisscross spaghetti-strap back — full back exposure Thin spaghetti straps at front Available in six colorways: Black, Dark Purple, Hot Pink, Pale Lilac, Raspberry, Royal Blue Style & OccasionClarisse 810451 is designed for high-impact formal events where you want the dress to do the talking. It works best for prom and formal pageant competitions where bold, body-forward styling is the point. The deep open back and front slit make this dress overtly sexy, so it is not a candidate for wedding guest, military ball, or black tie events. For prom, it photographs exceptionally well and is a strong choice if you want something that stands out in a group. Color-wise, Black is the sharpest and most graphic; Pale Lilac is the softest and most diffused; Raspberry and Hot Pink are the most vibrant; Royal Blue reads rich and jewel-toned; Dark Purple sits between dramatic and classic.
