Frequently Asked Questions

What is the return policy if the dress does not work out after I receive it?

Marlas Fashions offers three return options: store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different size or style, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. That restocking fee reflects the cost of inspecting and re-processing the gown, and it is standard across the industry for special-occasion dresses — but the store credit and exchange options let you try the dress at home without locking your budget into a single decision. To be eligible for any return, the dress needs to come back in its original, unworn condition with all tags attached. Alterations void the return — so if you are planning to have the dress hemmed or taken in, hold off until you are certain about the style and fit. This is especially relevant with a fitted mermaid gown like Faviana 11638, where the silhouette is quite form-specific and alterations to the skirt flare can change the overall look. The practical approach most customers take is to try the dress on immediately when it arrives — before booking a tailor appointment — to confirm the fit at the bodice and hips, which are the areas that matter most on a mermaid silhouette. The stretch-satin base fabric gives a small amount of natural give, so minor sizing differences often resolve themselves once the dress is on.

How fast does Faviana 11638 ship and where does it ship from?

Faviana 11638 ships from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with a Canadian fulfillment point in Toronto for Canadian orders — no duties or customs fees on shipments to the US or Canada. Standard delivery runs 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. If you are working toward a firm event date, rush processing is available at checkout — just make sure to account for any alterations time on top of the delivery window, since mermaid gowns in particular often benefit from a hem or bustle adjustment once you have your shoes sorted. International orders outside the US and Canada ship worldwide with full tracking included. Delivery times vary by destination, but every order gets a tracking number so you can follow the package at each step. A few things worth knowing before you order: Faviana produces these gowns in numbered production runs, and popular colorways like Cherry can sell through quickly as prom season builds. If you see your size in stock, ordering sooner rather than later is the safer play. If you need a firm delivery estimate for a specific date, or if you want to confirm availability in your size before committing, the team is easy to reach: text or call +1 416-536-2956, or message on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131.

What makes Faviana 11638 different from other beaded mermaid prom gowns?

Most beaded mermaid gowns concentrate embellishment on the bodice and leave the skirt relatively plain. Faviana 11638 carries the beaded and sequin floral appliqué pattern from the full bodice and continues it down the skirt in cascading vine and floral motifs — the detailing does not stop at the waist. Combined with the trumpet flare and sweep train, the result is a gown that reads as fully finished from every direction, which matters at prom where you are photographed from every angle. The stretch-satin base also sets it apart from chiffon or tulle construction. Stretch satin holds its shape tightly through the hip and thigh, which is what gives the mermaid silhouette its clean lines, but it has enough flex to make the flare portion comfortable to walk and dance in. You are not fighting the fabric the way you can with a rigid structured gown. The boned bodice is another functional detail — visible boning channels run through the front of the bodice, giving built-in structure that holds the V-neckline and beading in place throughout the night without requiring heavy undergarment support. The illusion back with the keyhole cutout adds a design element to the back view that most similarly-priced beaded gowns do not include. It is a gown that has a clear point of view from the front, the back, and the side — which is harder to achieve than it looks. Every 11638 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 11638, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the 11638 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the 11638 in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs. Together, these details make it feel far more expensive than its price.

How does the back closure work and can it be adjusted for different body shapes?

Faviana 11638 uses an illusion back construction with a keyhole cutout at the mid-back, framed by structured side panels. The closure itself is a standard concealed zip, which means fit at the back is determined by your measurements at ordering time rather than by lacing or a tie-back adjustment system. Because this is a zip closure on a fitted mermaid gown, getting the right size at the bodice is the most important fit decision you make before ordering. The boned bodice holds its shape very firmly once zipped, which is great for support but means there is limited flexibility for a dress that is a full size too small or too large. If your measurements sit between sizes, the general guidance for this style is to size to your hips, since the hip and thigh area of a mermaid silhouette is the hardest to alter without restructuring the seams. A local tailor can take in the bodice or waist seams if the dress is slightly large, and the train length can be adjusted for height. What is more difficult to alter on a zip-back gown is letting it out significantly — the seam allowance is limited. So if you are between sizes, go up rather than down. The stretch in the stretch-satin base fabric gives a small amount of natural give, which helps bridge minor fit gaps at the waist. Every 11638 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 11638, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the 11638 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the 11638 in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs.

Can a group of damas or court members order matching or coordinating styles in Faviana 11638?

Faviana 11638 is available in Cherry, Dark Hunter Green, and Ink Blue, so a group can coordinate across colorways or all wear the same color depending on the event's palette. For prom courts where the look needs to feel cohesive, one strong option is to have the featured person wear Cherry and the rest of the group wear Dark Hunter Green or Ink Blue — the silhouette and appliqué pattern are identical across all three colorways, so the group reads as coordinated without being identical. For group orders, reach out to the Marlas Fashions team before placing individual orders. We can check stock levels across sizes and colors simultaneously, flag any colorway that is running low, and help sequence the orders so everyone's dress arrives in the same delivery window. Trying to coordinate a group of mermaid gowns last-minute as prom season peaks is genuinely stressful — a quick conversation upfront makes the logistics much simpler. Because this is a structured mermaid gown with boning, each person in the group should size individually based on their own hip and waist measurements rather than ordering a uniform size. Fit on a mermaid silhouette is very body-specific, and the right size will differ from person to person even within a close-fitting group.

How does Faviana 11638 fit and does it run true to size?

Faviana 11638 runs close to true to size based on Faviana's standard size chart, but because it is a fitted mermaid gown with a boned bodice and zip closure, fit is less forgiving than in a flowy or draped style. The most important measurements to check before ordering are your bust, waist, and hips — and if any of those three measurements falls into different size ranges, size to the largest measurement. For most body types, the hip measurement is the deciding factor on a mermaid silhouette, because the hip and thigh section is where the dress is most tightly fitted and where alterations are most complex. The boned bodice can be taken in at the waist or side seams by a tailor if needed, but the skirt at the hips has less room for adjustment. The stretch-satin fabric has a small amount of natural flex, which helps with comfort through the waist and torso, but this is not a stretchy party dress — the fit is structured and intentional. If you are between sizes, size up. The dress can be taken in; it cannot easily be let out. Check the Faviana size chart on the product page and compare against your measurements taken over your undergarments, not over clothing. If you have a specific measurement question before ordering, the team can help you decide.

What occasions beyond prom is Faviana 11638 appropriate for?

Faviana 11638 is designed and styled primarily as a prom gown — the beaded floral appliqués, sweep train, and mermaid silhouette are all hallmarks of formal prom styling. It is also well-suited to formal dances and red-carpet-style events where a long, fully embellished gown fits the dress code. The level of embellishment and the fitted, body-conscious silhouette make it less appropriate for events where a lower-key or more conservative look is expected — such as wedding guest occasions, religious celebrations, or black-tie corporate events where overtly glamorous styling can read as overdressed or out of place. This is a gown built for the dance floor and the spotlight, not for blending in at a formal dinner. Within the right event context, the three colorways give some flexibility: Cherry is boldest and most prom-coded, Dark Hunter Green is a little more versatile for a formal evening setting, and Ink Blue reads as sophisticated enough to work for a range of formal events beyond prom. If you are shopping this gown for a non-prom occasion and want to talk through whether the style suits your specific event, the team is happy to give you an honest read before you order.

What undergarments work best under Faviana 11638 and does the bodice provide enough support?

The boned bodice in Faviana 11638 is built to provide significant structural support on its own. The visible boning channels run through the front of the bodice and hold the V-neckline and beaded appliqués in place — for most body types, no additional undergarment is needed for support at the bust. Because of the deep V-neckline and the fitted stretch-satin construction, a traditional bra is not compatible with this silhouette. Stick-on silicone cups or a low-adhesive bandeau designed for plunge necklines are the two most common solutions, and both work well with the boned structure because the gown itself does most of the lifting and shaping. For the skirt section, the fitted mermaid line through the hips and thighs means that seamless, smooth undergarments are important — anything with visible lines or bulk under the stretch satin will show through. A seamless shaper short that sits at or below mid-thigh is the most practical choice. Avoid shapewear that extends to the knee, since it can restrict movement in the trumpet flare and make walking uncomfortable. The stretch-satin fabric is smooth enough that any lines from undergarments are visible, so this is worth thinking through before the event.
