Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does PS26272 ship, and where does it ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS26272 ships from our Los Angeles or New York warehouse for US orders, from our Toronto warehouse for Canadian orders (no duties on Canadian deliveries), and worldwide for international destinations — all shipments are tracked. Standard delivery runs 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed and the dress leaves our warehouse. If your event date is coming up quickly, rush shipping is available at checkout — select it there and the system will show you the expedited delivery window for your location. Marlas Fashions has been an authorized Portia and Scarlett retailer for over 40 years, and every PS26272 is inspected before it ships. If you have a firm event date, place your order as early as you can — popular colorways like the blue and lilac can sell through quickly around prom season, and rush shipping adds cost that planning ahead avoids. If you need help confirming availability or timing for a specific date, our team can look that up for you before you order.

How does Portia and Scarlett PS26272 flatter different body types?

The two-piece construction of PS26272 gives you a lot of control over how the dress fits different proportions, which is one of the reasons it works across a wider range of body types than a one-piece gown. Here is how each part of the design plays out depending on your shape. The strapless sweetheart crop top draws attention to the bust and collarbone. The sweetheart neckline creates a curved, rounded frame at the chest that softens angular shoulders and adds visual fullness for smaller busts. Because the top and skirt are separate, you can size each piece to your actual measurements rather than fitting to a single cut — if your bust and waist are different sizes, a two-piece solves that problem immediately. The waistband of the skirt sits at the natural waist, which is the narrowest point on most figures. Hitting the waist there before the skirt flares out into the tiered a-line creates an hourglass reading even if your natural proportions are more rectangular or pear-shaped. The tiers add volume progressively as they descend, so the skirt widens gradually rather than ballooning at one level. That graduated volume draws the eye downward and elongates the overall silhouette. For taller figures, the multiple tiers and the floor-length sweep fill out the length gracefully. For petite frames, the high slit between the tiers breaks up the visual weight of all that tulle and keeps the look from overwhelming a shorter stature — heels help push the slit higher and lengthen the leg line further. The open back between the crop top hem and the skirt waistband is a feature to factor in. If you prefer more coverage across the back, a light-adhesive bra or low-back solution can sit invisibly under the crop top. The bare midriff strip is narrow — the gap between the top hem and the waistband — so it reads as a design detail rather than a full cutout. The floral-printed tulle and tiered ruffles add visual width to the skirt, which balances a broader shoulder or fuller bust by giving the lower half equal presence. Overall, PS26272 reads best when the crop top fits smoothly without pulling and the skirt waistband sits cleanly at your natural waist. If you are between sizes, size up in the skirt and tailor the top — that is the standard approach for two-piece gowns.

What events and occasions is Portia and Scarlett PS26272 right for?

Portia and Scarlett PS26272 is designed for prom and high-impact formal events where a bold, fashion-forward gown is appropriate. Here is a breakdown of where it fits and where it does not. Prom is the primary fit. The two-piece silhouette, tiered ruffle skirt, floral appliqués, and high slit are exactly what the prom market expects from a statement gown. Both the blue and lilac colorways photograph well under venue lighting. If your school allows two-piece gowns — most do, so double-check your prom dress code — PS26272 is a strong choice. Sweet-16 and debut events are also a natural match. The dramatic tiered skirt and dimensional floral detailing hit the visual scale that sweet-16 and debut celebrations typically call for. The a-line silhouette works well for a court or damas lineup because it photographs cleanly from the front and side. Formal dances and evening events where floor-length gowns are expected are a reasonable fit, provided the venue allows a more fashion-forward two-piece look. Where PS26272 does not work: the bare midriff and open back make it unsuitable as a wedding-guest dress — it is not modest enough by the standards guests are expected to meet at a wedding, and the crop-top styling reads as party wear rather than guest wear. It is also not the right call for black-tie events, which favor more traditional one-piece formal gowns. Mother-of-the-bride and similar adult formal occasions are not a fit either. Pageant: PS26272 has dimensional embellishment and a striking silhouette, but it is not styled in the traditional Miss Universe pageant direction — the scattered sequin is a surface treatment rather than full beading, so it would not be the first choice for a competitive pageant setting. For prom, sweet-16, debut, and formal evening events: PS26272 is an excellent, well-proportioned choice in either colorway.

What is the return and exchange policy if PS26272 does not work out?

If PS26272 arrives and the fit or colorway is not right, you have three resolution paths: a full store credit (no expiry), an exchange for a different size or style, or a refund minus a 30 percent restocking fee. Store credit is the most flexible option — it never expires, so there is no pressure to use it immediately, and it applies to any dress or product on the site. Exchange is the fastest path to getting the right size if the dress simply runs differently than you expected. The refund option is there if you need to walk away entirely, and the 30 percent restocking fee is industry-standard for made-to-order and designer formalwear. For a two-piece gown like PS26272, it is worth checking the measurements on both the crop top and the skirt before ordering, since each piece may fit differently relative to your dimensions. If you are borderline between sizes, sizing up and planning a minor alteration is generally safer than sizing down. Returns on items that have been altered or worn are not accepted, so hold off on hemming or taking in the top until you are certain the fit is working for you.

How does the back of PS26272 close, and can it be adjusted for fit?

PS26272 is a two-piece design, so the closure situation is different from a standard one-piece gown. The strapless sweetheart crop top is a separate garment from the tiered skirt, and each piece closes independently. The crop top typically uses a back zip or hook-and-eye closure depending on the production run — check the product tags when it arrives for the exact closure type on your size. There is no corset lace-up on this style; the notes confirm no boning is present in the bodice, so the top holds its structure through the sweetheart boning at the bust line rather than a full corset construction. The skirt closes at the waistband, usually with a zip and hook. Because the waistband sits at the natural waist and the skirt is separate, you can size the skirt to your waist measurement independently of the top — this is one of the practical advantages of a two-piece. If you want a more personalized fit on either piece, a local tailor can take in the crop top at the back seam or adjust the skirt waistband without affecting the tiered skirt below. Both alterations are relatively straightforward. Hold off on permanent alterations until you have tried the full two-piece together and confirmed both pieces are the right size.

How does PS26272 coordinate for a prom court, damas, or group look?

PS26272 works well in a group or court setting because both the blue and lilac colorways are distinct enough to stand out individually but close enough in tone to read as coordinated when photographed together. For a mixed-color court or damas lineup, blue and lilac together create a cohesive palette without being identical — a natural approach for a group that wants visual variety. If the group prefers a uniform look, ordering all members in the same colorway keeps the lineup clean and consistent in photos. The a-line tiered silhouette is also a practical choice for group photos: the skirt photographs clearly from the front and side, and the defined waistline gives each person a similar visual structure regardless of their individual proportions. The floral appliqués and tiered ruffles add dimension in photos without creating a silhouette that clashes with other gown styles in the same shot. If you are coordinating multiples, order early — popular colorways can go out of stock, and having even one person waiting on a back-order creates scheduling pressure close to the event.

Does PS26272 run true to size, and how should I measure to order?

PS26272 runs close to standard sizing for Portia and Scarlett, but because it is a two-piece, you need to measure for both the crop top and the skirt separately. For the crop top: measure your bust at the fullest point and your underbust. The sweetheart neckline relies on the bodice fitting snugly to stay in place, so this measurement matters more than it would on a dress with straps or a back tie. For the skirt: measure your natural waist — the narrowest point — where the waistband will sit. The skirt is sized to the waist, not the hip, so use your waist measurement rather than your hip measurement when selecting the skirt size. If your top and skirt measurements point to different sizes, order each piece to its own measurement. That is the main advantage of a two-piece: you are not forced into a single size that compromises either the bust fit or the waist fit. If you are exactly on a size boundary, size up in the top so the sweetheart stays flush against the body without pulling or gapping. A minor take-in at the back seam is easier than letting out a top that is already snug. Check the Portia and Scarlett size chart on the product page before confirming your order.

What undergarments work best with the strapless crop top on PS26272?

The strapless sweetheart crop top on PS26272 has boning at the bust line to hold the sweetheart shape in place, but it does not have a full corset structure or built-in cups. Depending on your bust size and preferred level of support, you will want to plan your undergarment choice before the event. A low-cut strapless bra is the most straightforward option and works well for most bust sizes. Look for one with silicone grip strips along the top and bottom edges — these hold the bra in place through dancing and movement without sliding. Make sure the bra sits below the sweetheart neckline so it does not show at the front. A bra alternative like adhesive cups or a stick-on bra works for smaller bust sizes where lift is less of a priority and you want a completely seamless look under the crop top. These are not ideal for larger busts that need structural support. For the open-back section — the bare midriff strip between the crop top hem and the skirt waistband — no undergarment is needed there; the waistband of the skirt covers the hip and the crop top covers the bust, leaving only the midriff strip intentionally bare as part of the design. Avoid high-waisted shapewear that rises above the skirt waistband, as it would be visible in the gap. Low-cut or mid-rise seamless shapewear that sits below the waistband is fine if you want smooth coverage under the skirt.
