Frequently Asked Questions

Does PS27093 need to be hemmed, and how does it work for different heights?

This is one of the most common questions we get for a gown with a sweep train, and it is worth thinking through before you order. Portia and Scarlett PS27093 is a full-length fitted gown with a train that extends past the floor. The train length is built into the design — it is not an add-on. For most heights, some alteration is expected, and the degree depends on how tall you are and what you want the final look to be. If you are around 5'7" to 5'9" and plan to wear heels in the 3- to 4-inch range, the gown will likely sit at or near the intended length without hemming. The train will trail behind you by a few inches, which is the intended effect. If you are shorter than about 5'5", even in heels, the gown will likely pool at the front and the train will be considerably longer than intended. In this case, hemming is strongly recommended. A skilled tailor can shorten the gown from the bottom and preserve the train proportionally, or remove the train entirely if you prefer a cleaner floor-length finish. Either approach is a standard alteration for a gown like this. If you are taller — 5'10" or above — the gown may sit at a shorter finished length than shown in the photos, and the train may be more modest. This is usually fine for the aesthetic but worth knowing in advance. The fitted silhouette adds one more consideration: because the skirt is fitted through the hips and flares below the knee, a seamstress needs to hem this gown carefully to preserve the flare point. A straight-across hem from the bottom works, but the tailor should check that the flare is not cut too short in the process. Communicate the heel height you plan to wear so the tailor can set the correct finished length. The structured bodice can also be taken in or let out at the side seams, but the glitter jersey fabric requires a needle appropriate for stretch knit — flag this when you book your appointment. Most experienced formalwear tailors will know how to handle it, but it is worth confirming. We recommend scheduling your first fitting as early as possible — ideally four to six weeks before your event — to allow time for multiple fittings if needed. If you have specific alteration questions before you order, reach out and we can talk through what to expect for your height and heel combination.

Is PS27093 comfortable enough to wear to prom all night, including dancing?

This gown is designed as a sleek, form-fitting silhouette, so comfort comes down to a few specific things worth knowing before your event. The fabric is a stretch glitter jersey, which is meaningful. Jersey has a small amount of give in all directions. Unlike a structured satin or a stiff mikado, this fabric moves with your body rather than against it. You will feel the fabric working with you when you walk, sit, and dance rather than holding you rigid. Most people find stretch jersey significantly more comfortable over a long evening than a non-stretch fabric in the same silhouette. The fitted fitted cut is close through the bust, waist, and hips. Walking in a fitted gown takes a little adjustment if you have not worn one before — your stride will naturally be slightly shorter than usual from the waist to the knee. The high front slit is there specifically to address this: it opens at the front of the skirt and gives your legs real freedom of movement. You can walk quickly, climb stairs, and dance without the skirt fighting you. The slit is the key feature that makes this silhouette wearable all night. The bodice is structured, which means it provides support without you needing a separate undergarment in most cases. Wide shoulder straps distribute weight evenly and do not dig in the way thin spaghetti straps can over a long night. The fully open back is something to think about practically. In air-conditioned venues this is rarely an issue, but if your event has outdoor components or the venue runs cool, you may want a wrap or jacket for those portions. The open back also means there is no panel or lining across your back — the fabric is just the front draping and the shoulder straps holding everything in place. For dancing specifically: the combination of the stretch fabric and the front slit makes this gown more dance-friendly than it looks. Guests consistently report being able to move freely once they adjust to the narrower silhouette through the hips. Avoid very high platform styles that might catch on the train — a strappy heeled sandal with a stiletto or block heel is the safest pairing for movement. If you are planning a long night and comfort is a top priority, sizing up by one and having the waist and hips taken in by a tailor gives you a slightly more relaxed fit that can make a meaningful difference over four or five hours.

How does the Black colorway actually look in person, and is Deep Red worth considering?

The Black colorway in PS27093 photographs as a true, deep black with an iridescent shimmer that shifts slightly depending on the light source. In direct flash photography, the glitter reads as bright and sparkly. Under warm event lighting — ballroom chandeliers, stage lighting, photo backdrops — the fabric has a smoother, more liquid quality with a subtle color shift in the shimmer. In person, the overall effect is sleek and dramatic rather than flashy. Black glitter jersey tends to be forgiving in photos — it does not wash out under flash the way lighter colorways can, and it keeps its depth even in low light. If you are attending a prom or formal event where you know there will be a lot of photography, Black is a reliable choice. Deep Red is not photographed in our current product images, which means we cannot show you an exact comparison. Based on Portia and Scarlett's production standards for this style, Deep Red in a glitter jersey reads as a rich, saturated crimson with the same full-surface shimmer. Under event lighting, deep red glitter tends to appear especially vivid and warm. It is a high-contrast choice that photographs strongly and stands out in a room where many guests may be wearing black or navy. If you are choosing between the two and cannot decide, think about your venue's lighting and your overall look. Black is versatile and easier to accessorize.

How do I care for and store PS27093 after the event, and can I travel with it?

Glitter jersey requires a little extra care compared to standard fabric gowns, but it is not difficult to maintain if you follow a few straightforward steps. After wearing the gown, allow it to air out fully before storing it. Do not fold it while it is still warm from body heat. Shake it gently to release any loose glitter particles — some shedding is normal for this fabric type, especially the first few wears. For cleaning, professional dry cleaning is recommended. Let the cleaner know the fabric is a glitter jersey and ask them to check their solvent compatibility — most standard dry-cleaning solvents are fine for this fabric, but it is worth confirming before they proceed. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the glitter finish and distort the stretch jersey base. For storage, hang the gown on a padded hanger rather than folding it. Folding a fitted gown can create permanent creases at the flare point and the train. Store it in a breathable garment bag — avoid plastic — in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight, which can fade the glitter finish over time. For travel, the safest approach is to lay the gown flat in a large suitcase rather than folding it tightly. If you must fold, fold at the natural lines of the dress and shake it out as soon as you arrive.

What shoes and jewelry work best with PS27093?

Because PS27093 is a full-surface glitter gown with a dramatic silhouette, the most effective approach to accessories is restraint. The dress is already making a strong visual statement — the goal is to complement it without competing with it. For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal is the most natural pairing. A stiletto or slim block heel in a neutral metallic — gold, silver, or black — keeps the focus on the gown. Avoid chunky platforms or heavy embellished shoes that can look visually busy against the glitter fabric. The front slit means your shoe will be visible when you move, so it is worth choosing something you like the look of. Keep in mind that the train at the back can catch on very wide heels or block-style soles — a slim heel profile is safer for movement. For jewelry, less is almost always more with a glitter gown. A simple drop earring in gold or silver reads cleaner than chandelier styles. If you want to wear a necklace, keep it delicate — a thin chain or a small pendant. The square neckline and open back mean both the front and back of your look are visible at the same time, so a statement necklace at the front can visually crowd the neckline. If you want one focal piece, a pair of earrings is usually the better choice over a necklace with this specific neckline.

How does PS27093 flatter different body types?

The fitted silhouette in PS27093 is designed to highlight a defined waist and hips. It works particularly well for hourglass and pear-shaped figures, where the fitted skirt through the hip follows the natural body line before flaring at the knee. The structured bodice provides lift and shape at the bust, which helps create definition even without an external bra. For straighter or more athletic figures, the fitted cut can create the visual impression of a more defined waist and hip curve. The glitter fabric helps here — the shimmer adds visual dimension and the stretch allows the fabric to follow the body closely without looking flat. For curvier figures, the stretch jersey fabric is one of this gown's strongest practical advantages over structured alternatives. It accommodates curves without the pulling or gaping you can get in a rigid fabric. If you are between sizes, sizing up and having the bodice taken in by a tailor typically gives a smoother, more comfortable result than sizing down and relying on the stretch to compensate. The high front slit adds a vertical line to the leg, which elongates the overall silhouette when you move. The sweep train at the back extends the visual line in the other direction, making the gown feel proportionate on a range of heights. The open back draws the eye to the back line and shoulders, which tends to be flattering for a wide range of figures.

How fast does PS27093 ship, and where does Marlas Fashions ship from?

Marlas Fashions ships PS27093 from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. If you are ordering closer to your event and need the gown faster, rush processing is available — contact us before placing your order and we can confirm the fastest available timeline for your destination. Shipping is available across the United States and internationally. Canadian orders ship from our Toronto warehouse, and no duties are charged on US or Canadian deliveries. International orders outside North America are shipped with full tracking so you can follow your gown every step of the way. If you have a specific event date, please reach out to our team before ordering so we can confirm that your gown will arrive in time. We can also advise on whether rush processing makes sense for your timeline. Text us at +1 416-536-2956 or message us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 and we will get back to you quickly.

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

We want you to feel confident ordering from Marlas Fashions, so here is exactly how returns and exchanges work. If the gown does not work for you, you have three options: store credit (which never expires and can be used on any future order), a direct exchange for a different size or style, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The restocking fee applies to refunds only — store credit and exchanges do not carry that charge. Because PS27093 is a formal gown, we recommend ordering with enough lead time that you can receive the dress, try it on at home, and still have time to either confirm it works or arrange a return before your event. Trying on the gown at home with your planned shoes is the best way to assess fit, length, and how the open back sits on your body — things that are hard to judge from photos alone. If you have questions about the return process for a specific order, or want to understand your options before you buy, our concierge team is here to help. Text us at +1 416-536-2956 or reach us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131.
