The Demetrios Evening B101 is a floor-length strapless mermaid gown cut from weighty stretch crepe, and its whole story is told in the first six inches. The neckline is asymmetric: one side lifts into a sharp folded point while the other dips into a soft notched V, and from that notch a cluster of three graduated 3D crepe flowers spills diagonally across the bodice, each blossom hand-shaped in the same blush fabric with tonal stitched centers and no sparkle at all. Below the flowers the gown goes completely clean - princess seaming sculpts the waist and hip, the skirt breaks into a fluid mermaid flare at the knee, and the sweep train finishes the line. The back is closed and high with a straight strapless edge, seamed panels and a concealed center zipper, so the dress stays put without boning showing through. It is offered in Blush, Royal Blue, Blue, Mauve and Light Blue in sizes 0 through 28, which puts a true designer mermaid silhouette in reach of women who are usually sent to a separate rack - see the rest of our evening dresses in plus sizes and our full strapless formal dress selection. Blush reads as a neutral once it is on, which is why this style works as a mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom gown, a wedding guest dress, a black-tie gala gown or a best-selling evening look. Style it with a bare shoulder and drop earrings, or ask us about a wrap or stole if the venue runs cold; the flowers are the jewelry, so keep necklaces off.
Photos cannot tell you how a strapless crepe mermaid will actually hold your shape - that only happens in the mirror, which is why Jan's Boutique is worth the drive. We are at 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034, minutes off Route 70 and roughly twenty minutes from Center City Philadelphia, under an hour from Wilmington, Princeton and the Jersey Shore, and an easy trip from Delaware, Maryland and New York. Our 13,000-square-foot store holds more than 15,000 dresses and 50 fitting rooms, so you can compare B101 against every other blush, strapless and mermaid gown we carry in one visit instead of ordering three online and returning two. Jan's Boutique charges no sales tax on clothing, our fitters handle alterations on site, and our consultants size strapless bodices for real bodies every day. Call 856-428-8181 to confirm B101 is in the store in your size and color, book a fitting appointment, or browse more Demetrios Evening, guest-of dresses and clean, no-glitz gowns before you come in.
