What It Does on the Body
The mini inner corset supplies structure beneath the draped bodice, allowing the outer Mikado to look soft without asking the folds themselves to provide support. The basque waist extends to a deep point below the natural waist, creating a long, sculpted torso before the skirt expands dramatically. Mikado then holds that volume away from the body rather than collapsing into softer folds.
When the Silhouette Is the Detail
D4602 does not rely on lace, beading or appliqués to create its impact. Instead, the eye goes directly to the asymmetric folds across the bodice, the sharp point of the basque waist and the scale of the skirt. It is a strong choice for a bride who wants a grand ball gown entrance while keeping the overall finish exceptionally clean.
The Dimitra Designs Experience
A structured gown can feel very different from the way it looks online, especially when the corset and waistline are doing this much of the shaping. At Dimitra Designs, your bridal stylist can help you compare D4602 with softer A-lines and other structured ball gowns so you can see which construction feels best on you. Once your gown arrives, our master seamstresses can complete the fit in-house through our separate, optional alterations service.
Our online collection showcases the full designer catalog, but in-store availability varies. Contact our Greenville, SC location to confirm if your favorite gown is available for your visit!
