Demetrios Evening C102 is a floor-length black evening gown built on a sheer beaded-lace corset bodice scattered with dimensional 3D flowers, set under a softly draped off-the-shoulder neckline that curves into a sweetheart line across the bust. The lace comes to a point below the natural waist, where a gathered crepe wrap and a trail of appliqued blooms carry the eye onto a fit-and-flare crepe skirt with a high front leg slit and a sweep train. The back is cut low and scooped, edged in the same scalloped 3D floral lace. It is offered in Black and in Blush, and the matching shawl shown in the lookbook is sold separately. Within the Demetrios Evening collection it is the slit-front, corset-bodice option - see C103 for a closed-back navy column, C104 for a silver beaded mermaid, and C106 for an all-lace black off-the-shoulder gown. It suits a black-tie gala, a black-tie wedding as the mother of the bride or groom, or any evening where a beaded gown is the right answer.
C102 runs in sizes 0 through 28 on the Demetrios Regular and Plus size chart, with a $150 size surcharge on 18-22 and $200 on 24-28; plus-size evening gowns are a core part of what we stock. Because the crepe is fitted through the waist and hip, most clients order to their largest measurement and let our in-house seamstresses take in the rest - hem, bust and waist alterations are done on site. This gown is sold in the boutique rather than online, so the way to buy it is to come and try it: Jan's Boutique, 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034, about ten minutes from Center City Philadelphia and an easy drive from Delaware County, Bucks County, Wilmington and the Jersey Shore. Call 856-428-8181 to check Black and Blush stock in your size or to book a fitting appointment. While you are here, our consultants can pull the rest of the evening and cocktail best sellers, the straight and sheath gowns, the special occasion guest racks and the grandmother of the bride styles so you can compare side by side in one visit.
