Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does Andrea and Leo A1528 ship, and where does it ship from?

Andrea and Leo A1528 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with a standard delivery window of 7–12 business days after your order is placed. If you have an event date coming up sooner than that, rush processing is available — the timeline depends on current warehouse inventory, so it is worth reaching out before you order to confirm whether rush is possible for your date. Marlas Fashions ships to the United States, Canada, and internationally. US and Canadian customers pay no duties or import fees — that cost is covered on Marlas' end. International orders are shipped with full tracking so you can follow the parcel at every stage. For Canadian customers specifically, orders are fulfilled from the Toronto warehouse, which typically means faster delivery than cross-border shipping. If you are outside North America, the gown ships from the US warehouse with tracked international courier service. A few practical things to know about timing: the 7–12 business day window starts from the day the order is confirmed and processed, not the day you place it — if you order late in the evening or over a weekend, processing usually begins the next business day. Rush orders can sometimes cut the window to 3–5 business days, but that is not guaranteed for every style, and A1528 in particular is a beaded fringe gown that the warehouse inspects carefully before it ships. Every dress at Marlas Fashions is physically inspected before it leaves the warehouse, which adds a short step but means you receive the gown in verified condition. If your event is within two weeks, contact the team as early as possible to get a clear answer on whether A1528 can reach you in time. Waiting until the last minute can limit your options, and for a gown with this level of detail — beaded bodice, tiered fringe skirt, sheer boning — you will also want a day or two to steam it and try it on before the event.

What is the return and exchange policy if the dress does not work out after I try it on at home?

Marlas Fashions offers three options if Andrea and Leo A1528 does not work out after it arrives: a full store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different size or style, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The restocking fee on a refund reflects the cost of inspecting, re-steaming, and repackaging a detailed beaded gown, but the store credit and exchange options avoid that deduction entirely. To be eligible for a return or exchange, the dress must be unworn, unaltered, and returned in its original condition with all tags intact. The gown's fringe and beading mean you should be especially careful when pulling it on and off; snagging a fringe row on jewellery or a rough surface can affect the condition. The return window is clearly outlined on the Marlas Fashions website at the time of purchase. If you are ordering well ahead of your event, make sure to try the dress on as soon as it arrives so you have time to exchange it for a different size if needed. Waiting until the week of the event and then requesting a return is a situation the team tries to help with, but the timeline may not allow for a second shipment in time. For exchanges, the team can check stock availability for your preferred size before you ship the original back, so you know whether the swap is feasible. Every A1528 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the A1528, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the A1528 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the A1528 in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs. Every A1528 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.

What makes Andrea and Leo A1528 different from other long beaded gowns?

Most long beaded gowns are either fully embellished column dresses or A-line styles with beaded bodices and plain skirts. Andrea and Leo A1528 sits in a different category. The defining feature is the tiered beaded-fringe skirt — instead of a flat beaded surface, the skirt is built from rows of hanging beaded fringe that drape into a column silhouette and move independently when you walk. The effect is much closer to a 1920s flapper gown than a standard prom or evening gown, and it is visually distinct even in a crowded room. The bodice adds to that difference. The sheer boning panel is visible through the sweetheart corset, which gives the front of the gown a structured, intentional look rather than a plain strapless band. Floral appliqués are set into the beadwork, adding dimension beyond a flat bead pattern. Combined with the open back down to the waist, the gown has strong visual interest from every angle. For buyers comparing A1528 to other fitted beaded gowns in this price range, the fringe movement and the open back together are the key differentiators. If you want a gown that reads classic beaded column, this is not it — it reads more maximalist and era-specific. That is a strong positive for buyers who want something genuinely different.

How does the back closure work and how does it adjust for fit?

Andrea and Leo A1528 has an open back that drops to the waist. The spaghetti straps frame the back at the shoulders and connect to the sweetheart bodice at the front. The bodice itself has sheer boning built in, which provides the structure and support at the front without requiring a full closure across the back. Because the back is open rather than laced or zippered, the primary fit adjustment happens at the bodice and through the sizing you choose. There is no back lacing to tighten or loosen after the fact. This means ordering the correct size is more important with A1528 than with a gown that has a corset-back closure — you cannot compensate for a size difference by adjusting the back. Focus on your waist and hip measurements when selecting your size, and refer to the Andrea and Leo size chart rather than your standard dress size. If you are between sizes, sizing up and having the bodice taken in by a tailor is generally easier than letting out a fitted sheath. The spaghetti straps can typically be shortened by a tailor if needed, which is one of the easier adjustments on this style.

Can I match Andrea and Leo A1528 with a court, damas group, or wedding party?

Yes — A1528 works well as a statement gown for the lead person in a group, with the damas or court in complementary styles. The Dusty Lavender colorway pairs naturally with deeper purples, soft blush tones, or champagne beige for a coordinated group without a matching look. Because the fringe and open back make A1528 visually prominent, it reads clearly as the central gown when surrounded by simpler fitted or A-line styles. If multiple members of the group want to wear A1528, coordinating in the same colorway creates a cohesive look, though the tiered fringe means the gowns need space to move without tangling during close group shots or dances. For groups purchasing multiple dresses, Marlas Fashions' team can advise on stock availability and coordinate sizing across the group. Contact the concierge for group order support. Every A1528 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the A1528, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise.

Does Andrea and Leo A1528 run true to size, and how should I measure for the best fit?

Andrea and Leo A1528 runs consistently with the designer's standard sizing, but because it is a fitted sheath with a structured bodice, accurate measurements matter more than they would for a looser or A-line silhouette. The gown is designed to sit close to the body through the waist and hips with no extra ease built in. Take three measurements before ordering: bust, natural waist, and fullest part of the hips. Compare all three to the Andrea and Leo size chart — do not rely on your standard clothing size. If your measurements fall between two sizes, size up and have the bodice taken in by a tailor rather than choosing the smaller size and hoping it stretches. The sheath column silhouette has very little give. Sizes 4–16 are available. If you are unsure which size to order, the Marlas Fashions concierge team can walk you through the size chart and advise based on your specific measurements. Reach out by text at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 before placing your order — it is much easier to get the size right the first time than to manage an exchange.

What occasions and events is Andrea and Leo A1528 best suited for?

Andrea and Leo A1528 is best suited for formal evening events where a long, fitted, beaded gown is appropriate. That includes galas, black-tie receptions, formal evening events, prom, and New Year's Eve or holiday galas where a maximalist beaded look fits the dress code. For prom, it stands apart from typical ballgown or A-line choices and suits someone who wants a fitted, era-specific silhouette. Its level of detail — tiered beaded fringe, full beaded bodice, open back — is scaled to formal evening environments where the look lands as intended. Every A1528 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the A1528, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise.

What undergarments work best with Andrea and Leo A1528, and does it have built-in support?

Andrea and Leo A1528 has a structured sweetheart bodice with sheer boning built in, which provides support at the front without requiring a separate strapless bra. The spaghetti straps add additional hold at the shoulders. For most wearers in the correct size, no additional undergarment is needed at the bodice. Because the back is fully open to the waist, a traditional bra is not possible. Adhesive bra cups or silicone inserts work well for additional coverage or support if desired. Choose low-profile options that will not be visible above the sweetheart line or at the sides of the open back. For the lower half, a slip or thigh-length shapewear short in a colour close to your skin tone or to Dusty Lavender works well under the fringe skirt without adding visible bulk. Avoid shapewear that extends below the knee — the column silhouette of the skirt is narrow enough that layering too much underneath will affect how the fringe drapes and moves.
