Cut Out Prom Dresses
Cut out prom dresses are for anyone who wants their gown to do more than just cover — a strategic cutout at the waist, side, or back turns a classic silhouette into something memorable. Starlish's cutout collection spans halter necklines, high-neck mermaid gowns, and long-sleeve styles, all built around the same idea: show a little skin without losing the formality of prom.
The cutout placement changes the whole feel of the dress. A side-slit paired with a hip cutout reads sleek and modern; a backless design with a single waist cutout keeps things more subtle while still standing out on the dance floor. Several styles combine a cutout with a thigh-high slit for a fully sculpted silhouette front to back.
These dresses lean toward richer fabrics and finishes — sequins, mermaid-cut satin, and structured bodices that hold the cutout shape without needing extra support. Colors run from classic black and white to bold red, burgundy, and champagne.
Every cutout prom dress is available in custom sizing, so the cutout sits exactly where it should regardless of your measurements — no awkward gaps or bunching.

No — cutouts are placed and reinforced so the dress moves naturally; most styles pair a cutout with built-in support so you don't need extra shapewear.
Seamless, nude-toned undergarments work best since the cutout will show through lighter fabrics — check each product's photos for where extra coverage is built in.
