Faviana ES10890 Fitted Stretch Satin Gown with Open Crisscross Back

Faviana ES10890 is designed primarily for prom, formal dances, and upscale evening events. The open crisscross back and the form-fitting stretch satin silhouette place this firmly in the category of dresses that are meant to make a strong visual impression — it is not subtle, and that is by design. For prom, this is one of Faviana's strongest choices. The fitted silhouette, the dramatic back, the sweep train, and the availability in bold colors like Lipstick, Cobalt Blue, and Red all point directly at prom-night wear. If standing out on the dance floor matters, ES10890 delivers. For formal dances and winter formals, the gown works equally well. The structured stretch satin holds up through a full evening of dancing and movement, and the crisscross lacing actually provides a degree of adjustability if you want to loosen the back fit slightly as the night goes on. For evening galas and upscale formal events — charity dinners, award ceremonies, formal birthday celebrations — the gown reads as glamorous and intentional. The sweep train adds a level of formality that separates it from a shorter cocktail option. For black-tie events specifically, the open back and overt bodycon styling lean more toward contemporary formal than traditional black-tie convention. Whether it fits a specific black-tie dress code depends on the event — for a classic black-tie gala, a more covered gown may be more appropriate, but for a modern formal event, ES10890 is entirely suitable. As a wedding guest, this dress works best at evening receptions or black-tie celebrations where a fashion-forward look is welcome. The fully open back and body-contouring silhouette make it best suited for evening receptions and black-tie weddings, where a more fashion-forward look is at home. It is also not suited for mother-of-the-bride or bridal party contexts for the same reason. The bottom line: if the event calls for a long, formal gown and you want to be noticed, Faviana ES10890 is an appropriate and excellent choice. If the event has a conservative dress code or the context calls for modesty, choose a different silhouette.

Faviana ES10890 is a contour-fitted gown, which means it follows the natural shape of the body from the shoulders through the bust, waist, and hips. The stretch satin fabric is the key to how well this dress works across different body types — it has real give, so it conforms to your shape without pinching or pulling the way a woven satin would. The result is a smooth, sculpted silhouette that reads as sleek and intentional rather than tight and uncomfortable. For hourglass figures, the dress is essentially designed around you — the contour cut traces every curve cleanly, and the sweep train and subtle hem flare add proportion at the bottom. For pear-shaped figures, the fitted hip and high-slit construction actually help balance the silhouette by drawing the eye downward along the leg line. The thin spaghetti straps and scoop neckline keep the top minimal, which works in your favor rather than against it. For straight or athletic builds, the gathered knotted detail at the back hip adds the appearance of curve at exactly the right point. The stretch satin clings to what is there and creates visual dimension that a looser style would not. For fuller busts, the scoop neckline is comfortable and supportive without being overly revealing at the front — the drama is in the back, so the front stays clean. The straps provide enough shoulder support that the bust line stays stable, but note that a standard bra will not work with the open back. Plan for a low-back adhesive bra or built-in support alternatives. For petite frames, the long fitted silhouette elongates the body effectively, especially in a single color from neck to hem. The high slit (on select colorways) allows full strides without bunching or dragging. If you are under 5'4", plan to have the train hemmed by a tailor — most alterations shops can do this cleanly in the stretch satin without changing the hem shape. For taller frames, the sweep train and full floor-length cut work perfectly with standard or high heel heights. The gown wears proportionately at 5'7" through 5'10" in a standard heel without alteration. Across all body types, the consistent advice is to size for your fullest measurement (usually hips in a fitted gown like this), then have the waist taken in by a tailor if needed. A tailored fit in stretch satin is noticeably smoother and more flattering than an off-the-rack fit that is slightly too large.

Faviana ES10890 ships from Marlas Fashions in 7 to 12 business days under standard shipping. Rush options are available if your event date is tight — contact us before placing your order and we can confirm what rush timelines are possible for this style. Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York for US orders, and from Toronto for Canadian orders. There are no duties charged on US or Canadian shipments. International shipping is also available worldwide with full tracking on every order. If you have a specific event date, the safest approach is to order at least 6 to 8 weeks ahead to leave room for the shipping window plus any alterations you may want done after the dress arrives. Alterations on a fitted gown like ES10890 typically take 1 to 2 weeks depending on your tailor's schedule, so build that time in before your event date.

Marlas Fashions accepts returns for store credit, exchanges, or refunds with a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so there is no pressure to use it immediately. Because Faviana ES10890 is a fitted gown, we strongly recommend ordering with enough lead time to try it on at home and confirm the fit before committing. If the size is off, an exchange can usually be arranged if the alternate size is in stock. Store credit can be applied to a different style entirely if the fit is not right for your shape. The dress should be tried on carefully without removing tags or wearing it outside — returns are accepted only when the garment is in original, unworn condition. Every Faviana ES10890 that leaves our warehouse is inspected by hand before shipping, so the beadwork, seams, and closures arrive exactly as the designer intended. If you are between sizes on the Faviana ES10890, our team can talk you through the size chart against your own measurements before you order.

The detail that separates ES10890 from most fitted prom gowns is the back construction. A lot of fitted gowns in this category have a simple zip or a basic lace-up, but ES10890 opens the entire back — you can see skin from the mid-back to the lower back around and through the crisscross lacing. Combined with the gathered knotted skirt detail at the back hip, it creates a back view that is genuinely different and significantly more dramatic than a standard fitted gown. The stretch satin fabric is also a step above the typical polyester satin used in lower price-point prom gowns. It drapes more smoothly, photographs better, and holds the contour fit without the stiff or shiny appearance that cheaper satin can produce. The sweep train adds formality and length of silhouette that most short-to-mid-price prom options do not include. For shoppers comparing ES10890 to other Faviana fitted styles, the defining features here are the fully open back, the crisscross lacing, the back-hip gather, and the train — these details together make this a noticeably more architectural and dramatic gown than a basic fitted satin alternative.

The back of Faviana ES10890 is a crisscross lace-up closure that runs from the mid-back down to the lower back. The lacing threads through hardware points on either side of the open back and ties at the bottom. Because it laces rather than zips, it offers a real range of adjustment — you can lace it tighter for a more fitted hold or leave it slightly looser for more comfort and movement. This means the gown has some built-in flexibility that a zip-back fitted gown does not. If you are between sizes or your measurements fall between a standard size 4 and a size 6, for example, the lacing can often bridge that gap without requiring an alteration. That said, for the cleanest fit and the most polished look, it is still best to order the size closest to your measurements and use the lacing for fine-tuning rather than as a primary size correction. For getting into and out of the dress, having someone help you with the lacing is practical — lacing a back-open gown solo is possible but takes longer. Plan for that when getting ready.

Faviana ES10890 works well as a coordinated group dress because it is available in eight colors — Black, Cobalt Blue, Light Blue, Light Pink, Light Yellow, Lipstick, Mint Green, and Red. A court or damas group can wear the same style in different colors, or a bridal party can select a single color for a uniform look. For prom courts, mixing colors within ES10890 creates a cohesive visual since the silhouette is identical across the group. For a damas arrangement, the color range covers both traditional and contemporary palettes. The consistent fitted silhouette means the group photographs uniformly regardless of individual body type. When ordering for a group, confirm availability of all required sizes in each color early — not every color is stocked in every size at the same time. Contact Marlas Fashions with your group size list and color preferences before placing individual orders to avoid any color or size conflicts.

Faviana sizing runs close to true to size for most customers, but because ES10890 is a fitted gown cut to hug the body, measurements matter more than usual. Faviana publishes a detailed size chart — use it and measure yourself in three places: bust, natural waist, and hips (fullest point). For a fitted gown like this, size for your largest measurement, then plan to have the other points tailored if needed. It is significantly easier and less expensive to take in a waist or bust than to let out a gown that is too small. If your hip measurement puts you in a size 6 but your waist measures closer to a size 4, order the 6 and have the waist adjusted by a tailor — this is the standard approach for contour-fitted gowns in stretch satin. If you are unsure between two sizes, the crisscross lacing at the back gives you some additional adjustability that a zip-back gown would not.
