Juliet | Sequin Mermaid Formal Gown
Sequin Mermaid Formal Dress for Galas, Formals and Evening Events
Meet Juliet, a floor-length sequin dress cut in a sculpted mermaid shape that follows the bodice and hips before flaring into a soft, sweeping train. Scattered sequins trail across a fine mesh base and catch the light with every step, while a deep V-neckline and slim spaghetti straps keep the front clean and modern. It's a formal gown made for school formals, galas, black-tie weddings and end-of-year Christmas parties.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Fine mesh tulle covered in clustered sequins that fall in a trailing, vine-like pattern, with sheer tulle visible at the flared hem.
- Neckline: A deep V-neckline that lengthens the upper body and frames statement jewellery.
- Sleeves: Sleeveless, held up by thin spaghetti straps.
- Back: The straps cross over an open back and lace through to finish in ties at the lower back.
- Cut/Fit: Fitted through the bodice, waist and hips, then flaring out below the knee in a classic mermaid silhouette.
- Length: Floor-length, finishing in a short train that pools softly behind you.
- Style: A glamorous evening gown offered in several colourways, from deep black to soft grey and rich red.
Styling Tips
- Keep it sleek for a formal or gala with strappy heeled sandals, drop earrings and a slim beaded clutch.
- On cooler spring evenings, drape a tailored black blazer or a cropped faux fur wrap over the shoulders between venues.
- Wear your hair in a low bun or slicked-back pony to show off the criss-cross laced back, and add a fine bracelet for a finishing glint.
Care
Hand wash gently in cold water or use a delicate cold cycle inside a laundry bag. Do not wring or tumble dry; lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Store inside out to protect the sequins, and always check the care label.
Size & Fit
This gown is designed to sit close to the body from bust to hip, so it shows off your shape. If you are between sizes or prefer a little more room through the hips, size up. The laced back lets you fine-tune how snug it feels across the back. Pair it with heels to keep the floor-length hem and train off the ground.
