The Kelly Chase Couture 23-227 is a black sequin long sleeve gown built as a floor-length column and covered edge to edge in fine sequins and seed beads set on stretch mesh, so the whole gown catches light instead of only a bodice panel. The neckline is asymmetric: a folded, densely beaded band lifts over one shoulder and slips off the other, which is why this style answers to both one-shoulder and off the shoulder black gown. Both arms are finished in sheer beaded illusion long sleeves gathered softly at the wrist, making 23-227 a rare black gown with sleeves that still reads as full-sparkle evening wear rather than covered-up. A gathered wrap draws the waist in and runs into a center-front seam that opens as a slit through the hem, and the skirt falls straight to the floor with a light sweep. The back is high and completely closed - no keyhole, no cutout, no train - with the beaded band continuing straight across the shoulder blades, so the gown stays polished from every angle and needs no special undergarments.
23-227 is stocked in black in sizes 0 through 28 at Jan's Boutique - $3,240 in sizes 0-16 and $3,790 in extended sizes 18-28, which is a real advantage when most plus size black sequin gowns stop at 16. It is one of the most requested mother of the bride and mother of the groom gowns we carry, and it works just as well for a black-tie gala or charity event, a black-tie wedding, a special occasion as a guest, or a grandmother of the bride looking for coverage without losing glamour. Jan's Boutique is the closest Kelly Chase Couture retailer to Philadelphia and carries roughly one hundred Kelly Chase styles - far more than any other boutique in the region - alongside our best-selling evening and cocktail gowns.
