Frequently Asked Questions

How does the dropped waist of Faviana 11668E flatter a plus size figure, and which size should I order?

Faviana 11668E is cut on Faviana's extended-size pattern, so the bodice, bust and waist are drafted for a fuller figure rather than graded up from a smaller size. The boned corset holds a smooth shape across the bust and ribcage, which is what keeps a strapless neckline secure throughout the evening. The dropped waist is the key to the fit. Because the seam sits a little below the natural waist, it visually lengthens the torso and creates a long line from bust to hip. Below that seam, the organza skirt flares softly away from the body, so there is plenty of room through the hips and thighs and nothing clings. Many customers with a fuller stomach or hips find this one of the most comfortable formal silhouettes they have worn. To choose your size, measure your bust at its fullest point and your waist at the point where the dropped seam will sit, a little below your natural waist. Compare both with the Faviana extended-size chart and choose the larger size if they differ. The lace-up corset back gives you a few inches of adjustment, so you can lace it tighter for a snug fit or loosen it for comfort at dinner, all without changing your coverage, because the lacing sits over a covered back panel. The gown is cut long enough for a tall wearer in heels, so most customers need a hem. Organza hems are straightforward for an experienced tailor; bring your event shoes to the fitting. If you would like help, send us your measurements and height and a stylist will recommend a size. We fit this collection in our Toronto boutique every week, so our advice comes from how the gown really fits on real customers, not just from the size chart, and ordering early leaves time for a hem.

Can Faviana 11668E be worn by a group of friends attending prom together?

Yes. Faviana 11668E is one of the most versatile gowns in the collection. It is a beautiful prom dress, and its soft organza, clean lines and covered lace-up back give it a versatile, polished presence for many occasions. The three colorways are easy to coordinate, and the unembellished finish photographs well in a group without any one dress stealing attention. Its soft colors and covered silhouette suit a wide variety of occasions and dress codes. Bluebell and Rosette are especially beautiful options; choose a shade that complements your skin tone and the overall palette of your event. Its romantic shape feels celebratory at any milestone event. It would feel overdressed at a cocktail party or semi-formal event, where a shorter style is a better choice. If your invitation lists a dress code you are unsure about, tell us the details and our stylists will give you an honest opinion before you order.

What should I wear under the strapless corset of Faviana 11668E?

The corset bodice of Faviana 11668E is boned, so it provides real structure and many customers wear only adhesive cups underneath. If you prefer more support, a strapless longline bra is the best option; it smooths the ribcage under the fitted bodice and stays hidden under the straight neckline. Because the back is covered and closes with lacing over a back panel, a strapless bra with a regular band stays out of sight, which gives you more options than a backless gown would. Check the fit in a mirror the first time you try the gown on. Below the waist, the A-line organza skirt is full and floaty, so you do not need shapewear for a smooth line. Choose seamless underwear in a shade close to your skin tone, especially under the paler Butter Yellow and Bluebell colorways, where bright colors could show through the layers in strong sunlight or camera flash.

How should I clean, store and travel with Faviana 11668E?

Faviana 11668E is made in layered organza with a boned corset bodice, so treat it as a dry-clean-only gown. Do not machine wash or hand wash it, and do not iron it directly. To release creases, hang it in a steamy bathroom for twenty minutes or use a handheld steamer held a few inches away from the fabric. Organza creases if it is crushed, so steam each draped panel lightly from below and let it hang overnight before wearing. For storage, hang the gown on a padded hanger using the inner hanging loops so its weight is not carried by the bodice edge. Keep it in a breathable cotton garment bag rather than plastic, away from direct sunlight and heat, which can fade color over time. For travel, fold the gown loosely in tissue paper inside its garment bag and carry it on rather than checking it. Hang it up as soon as you arrive and give it a few hours to relax before the event.

How quickly can Faviana 11668E arrive, and which warehouse ships it?

Faviana 11668E ships from the Marlas Fashions warehouses in Los Angeles and New York for US orders, and from our Toronto warehouse for Canadian orders. Standard delivery usually takes 7 to 12 business days from the day your order is placed, and every order travels with full tracking so you can follow it to your door. US and Canadian customers pay no duties or import charges at delivery, which means the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. If your event is close, rush shipping is available on many sizes and colorways. Contact the team before you order so we can confirm that your exact size and color can make your date. International orders ship worldwide with tracking, and delivery times vary by country, so ask us for an estimate if you are outside North America. Every Faviana 11668E is checked by hand before it leaves the warehouse. Order as early as you can, so there is time for a hem or a small fitting adjustment once the gown arrives.

If Faviana 11668E does not fit, what are my return and exchange options?

You can try Faviana 11668E on at home before you commit. If it does not work, you have three choices: store credit that never expires, a direct exchange for another size or color, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The fee covers the inspection, steaming and repackaging every returned gown goes through before it can be sold again. To qualify, the gown has to come back unworn apart from trying it on, unaltered, and in its original condition with all tags and packaging. Try it on indoors on a clean floor, without makeup near the neckline, so nothing marks the fabric. Gowns that show wear, alterations or damage cannot be accepted. The easiest return is the one you never need, so if you are deciding between two sizes, send us your bust, waist and hip measurements first. Call or text our Toronto boutique at 416-536-2956 and our stylists will help you find your perfect dress.

How do Butter Yellow, Bluebell and Rosette compare on Faviana 11668E, and how should I accessorize each?

Butter Yellow, shown in the photos, is a soft, warm pastel that looks sunny without being bright. Against the light-catching organza it has a gentle glow, and it flatters warm, olive and deeper skin tones especially well. Gold or pearl jewelry and a pale gold clutch keep the look warm and soft. For makeup, a warm peachy tone or a soft coral lip complements the yellow without competing with it. Bluebell is a cool, airy blue, like a spring sky. It looks fresh and romantic and suits a range of skin tones well. Silver or crystal accessories suit it best, and a touch of shimmer in your makeup brings out the organza's natural glow. A soft smoky eye in grey or taupe keeps the focus on the dress while adding polish. Rosette is a soft rose pink, the most classic romantic shade of the three. It pairs beautifully with rose-gold or silver jewelry and photographs well in group shots without overpowering other colors nearby. A berry or soft mauve lip echoes the rose tones and ties the whole look together. Because the gown has no beading, accessories have more freedom than on an embellished style. Statement earrings, a sparkling hair clip or a jeweled clutch can all add shine without competing with the dress. Keep necklaces minimal, because the straight strapless neckline looks cleanest with an open collarbone. For shoes, a strappy heel in metallic or neutral adds height without introducing a competing color. A block heel or a platform sandal works especially well if you will be on your feet for a long evening, since the full A-line skirt conceals the shoe almost entirely when you are standing still. For hair, a soft updo shows off the lace-up corset back, while loose waves feel more romantic. Either style works beautifully with the dropped waist silhouette. If you are ordering multiple gowns in the same colorway, tell us the sizes you need and we will check stock so every dress comes from the same dye lot. Pastel organza can look slightly different on screen than in person, where it has a softer, more luminous quality. Send us a photo in natural light and a stylist will help you choose the right shade.
