Prom Dresses
The beaded net construction on these Rachel Allan gowns tells you everything about how seriously the brand takes texture. Each dress features hundreds of sequins and beads hand-applied to sheer mesh, creating dimensional surfaces that catch light from every angle. This isn't flat lace. It's sculptural fabric that moves independently from the body, giving you coverage with an illusion of transparency.
Fabrication That Performs
These lace prom dresses work because the beaded net sits over stretch jersey linings. You get the grip and security of knit fabric underneath, while the beaded overlay does the visual heavy lifting. The construction means you can actually dance, sit, and move without the dress shifting or riding up. That slit on the powder blue gown? It stays exactly where it should because the lining holds position even when the beaded layer moves.
Color Intensity Through Construction
Notice how the yellow reads as butter-soft while the periwinkle blue has more punch. That's the density of bead application controlling color saturation. Heavier beading creates richer hues. The lavender dress shows medium coverage, letting the purple knit underneath influence the final tone. When you're shopping for lace prom dresses online, understanding this relationship between base fabric and overlay determines whether you'll love the color in person.
The Mermaid Silhouette Advantage
Every dress here uses a fitted bodice that releases into a flared hem. The beaded net fabric makes this shape possible because it has enough structure to hold the flare without adding bulk at the hips. You're wearing fabric that's doing mechanical work while looking delicate. That's the engineering behind formal wear that photographs well and feels even better.
