When choosing a dress, it’s important to pick one that highlights your unique features. This could be your height, skin tone, or another special aspect of your body.

Luckily, there are plenty of dresses that you can choose from to highlight these features. This includes a corset prom dress that’s sure to have you looking and feeling your best on your big night!

Lace-Up Back

Cinch up your figure in a prom dress with a corset, lace-up back that will take your style to the next level. Available in fit and flare, ball gown, sheath, trumpet or a-line silhouette, these dresses from Colette for Mon Cheri will help you feel like a radient renaissance queen.

A corset accentuates an hour-glass figure and ties together the waist, chest and shoulder line to improve posture. It can be made to fit a range of body types, tightening or loosening where needed for a more accurate fit.

To create the lace-up back of the corset, cut 1.5 inch wide strips on the bias using a 45 degree angle to the selvage. Fold the strip in half lengthwise with right sides together and sew a seam 1/4 inch from the open edge creating a tube.

Using the loops of the dress as a guide, begin lacing at the top left loop, running each lace through its matching loop. Then, cross and lace the new left ribbon into the next right loop. Repeat for the right ribbon. Pull each side of the ribbon at each “X” equally until the dress feels snug but not squeezed against the wearer’s back.

Lace-Up Bodice

A lace-up bodice is a good way to show off your figure and your bling. In fact, a lace-up dress is often considered the perfect prom gown for girls who aren’t afraid of showing off their curves and personality.

The lace-up prom dress has a plethora of variations, so you’re bound to find your dream dress. However, there are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping for the oh-so-fancy lace up diva. The most important is to find the dress that matches your body type. Having the right fit is crucial to looking and feeling your best on prom night. In addition, make sure the lace-up dress isn’t too tight and it won’t cut off circulation. You might also want to check the straps for elasticity, especially on plus-size dresses. Lastly, make sure the lace-up dress can be fitted with a proper bra. There is no worse feeling than looking and feeling uncomfortable on a big day.

Lace-Up Skirt

The lace-up skirt of a corset prom dress can be the most elaborate and stylish piece of the entire outfit. If you’re lucky enough to get a gown with this feature, be sure to show it off!

A lace-up prom dress can be worn a number of ways, but it’s most likely to look best when worn with dancing shoes. This is because the lace-up effect is particularly impressive when you’re walking down the dance floor, as it adds an extra element of fun and drama to your evening.

You might want to wear a strapless A-line corset lace dress or go for a glitter flocked glitter a-line prom dress with a dazzling lace up back like Clarisse 8167. A lace-up back is the perfect way to show off your curves and make sure you get all the attention in the room. The lace-up dress might be a little trickier to put on than the typical slip on style, but the end result is definitely worth it!

Corset Back

The corset back on a prom dress adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. It can elevate any look from drab to fab. It also keeps your dress in place all night long so you can focus on the big dance.

If you want to add a corset back to a dress, start by finding a formal gown that has a zipper down the back and fits you well in the bust area. It should also have boning in the bodice so that it looks more like a corset.

Then, you can cut out a piece of the fabric that has the zipper and a large gap between the left and right looped edges. You will need to cut it into small segments, each of which should be about 1 1/4 inches (3.2 centimeters) long. Form the segments into loops and pin them into your dress. Then, sew them in place. You can even attach snaps if you prefer.
