Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11081
Faviana 11081 is a floor-length strapless mermaid gown built around a fully beaded illusion mesh corset bodice and a sleek, ruched jersey skirt. This is a long prom dress designed to make an impression — structured through the torso, fitted through the hips, and flared at the hem into a mermaid silhouette that moves well on a dance floor. Available in Navy Blue, Burgundy, Dark Emerald, and Ruby, with all photography on this listing shot in Navy Blue.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana 11081 is a true mermaid: the gown contours closely through the bust, waist, and hips, then flares below the knee. There is very little built-in ease through the hip and thigh, so sizing to your largest measurement — usually the hip — is the standard recommendation. The boned corset bodice holds the strapless neckline firmly in place without a bra for most wearers, provided the bodice fits accurately at the bust. Horizontal ruching at the hip-to-waist transition adds a small amount of flexibility to that zone without losing the clean fitted line. If your measurements fall between sizes, size up and plan for bodice alterations — taking a fitted area in is far easier than letting it out.
Fabric & Detail
The bodice of Faviana 11081 is constructed from sheer illusion mesh layered over a boned interior frame. Beading and sequin detail cover the mesh across the full bodice surface, and the boning channels run vertically through the panels — clearly visible in the front and detail images — providing the structure that makes the strapless fit work. Below the hip-to-waist ruched band, the skirt is stretch jersey with a high sheen finish that follows the mermaid silhouette cleanly through the lower body and hem. The jersey is smooth and fluid in movement, without the stiffness of a heavy satin or the fragility of chiffon.

Style & Occasion
Faviana 11081 is built for prom. The boned strapless bodice stays in place through hours of dancing, the beaded illusion mesh catches venue lighting from every angle, and the floor-length mermaid silhouette photographs the way a prom gown should — dramatic, structured, and distinctly formal. This is a long prom dress that looks as good in photos as it does in person.
Outside of prom, 11081 works well for formal evening events and galas — charity dinners, awards evenings, debutante balls, and any occasion with a formal or black-tie dress code. The level of embellishment and the floor-length mermaid construction read as deliberate and polished, not as a party dress that was dressed up.
Among the four colorways, Navy Blue is the most versatile. Burgundy works particularly well for fall and winter formal occasions. Dark Emerald is a standout under event lighting — the beaded bodice in that shade has a strong effect under chandeliers. Ruby is the boldest choice: saturated, high-contrast, and unmistakable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting the size right in Faviana 11081 is one of the most important steps before you place your order — and it is worth taking time to do it carefully. This is a mermaid silhouette, meaning the gown is cut to contour closely through the bust, waist, and hips with very little built-in ease. Unlike an A-line or a gown with a separate bodice and skirt, a mermaid gives you minimal room to size up or down after the fact without significant alteration work at the hip and thigh.
Start by taking three measurements: your full bust (around the fullest part of the chest, over the sharpest point), your natural waist (the narrowest part of your torso, typically an inch or two above the navel), and your fullest hip (the widest point of the hips and seat, usually seven to nine inches below the natural waist). Record all three and compare them against the Faviana size chart for style 11081.
Because the mermaid silhouette through the hips is the most restrictive part of the fit, the standard recommendation for 11081 is to size to your largest measurement — most often the hip — and then have the bodice or waist taken in by a seamstress if needed. Taking the gown in at a fitted area is far easier than letting it out, and a skilled seamstress can adjust the corset bodice zone while preserving the beaded illusion mesh detail.
The boned corset bodice does significant structural work on its own. Boning channels run vertically through the illusion mesh panels, holding the bodice in alignment against the torso. For most wearers, this eliminates the need for a separate strapless bra — the bodice acts as its own foundation garment. The fit of the boned section must be accurate to the bust measurement for this to work. If the bodice is too large, the boning loses its grip; if too small, the structure becomes uncomfortable over a long evening.
The horizontal ruching at the hip-to-waist transition is a forgiving design detail — it creates a draped effect that accommodates minor variation in fit without looking imprecise. It will not compensate for a full size difference, but the waist-to-hip zone is not as critical to nail exactly as the hip measurement itself.
If your measurements fall between sizes, size up and plan for alterations. If your proportions differ significantly from the Faviana standard chart — for example, a larger hip relative to bust — ordering closer to the hip and budgeting for bodice adjustments is the more practical path. Plan for your gown to arrive with four to six weeks before the event to allow time for fitting appointments.
Faviana 11081 is built for evenings where presence is the point. The combination of a fully beaded illusion mesh corset bodice, a floor-length mermaid silhouette, and a dramatic open back places this gown firmly in the category of high-impact formal wear — the kind of dress that is designed to be noticed and photographed.
Prom is the natural home for Faviana 11081. The gown has every element that makes for a memorable prom look: structured support through the boned bodice so it stays in place through hours of dancing, a floor-length silhouette that photographs beautifully, and a beaded bodice that catches venue lighting in every direction. The open-back construction adds a second moment of visual drama when you turn around or walk away — it is a gown that works from every angle.
Beyond prom, 11081 is equally suited to formal evening occasions and galas. Charity events, awards dinners, debutante balls, and evening galas all call for exactly this level of construction and embellishment. The gown's structured, polished silhouette reads as formal and deliberate — it does not read as purely a party dress, which means it transitions smoothly from a seated dinner into a reception or dancing portion of the evening.
For formal evening events where a black-tie or formal dress code is specified, 11081 delivers the necessary floor-length and embellishment level while still feeling personal and distinctive rather than generic. The four colorways each carry a slightly different register: Navy Blue is authoritative and refined, Burgundy is warm and occasion-appropriate across a range of formal settings, Dark Emerald is particularly strong under event lighting, and Ruby makes the most direct visual statement of the group.
One note for wedding guests: the open-back design is best suited to evening or black-tie receptions where a more fashion-forward silhouette is welcomed, and may be less fitting for daytime or traditional ceremonies where a more covered style is the usual preference. If you are attending a wedding and have questions about what level of back exposure is appropriate for the specific event, we are happy to help you think through the options.
For event planning purposes, order Faviana 11081 with enough lead time for a professional fitting. The mermaid silhouette and boned bodice both benefit from being fitted to your exact measurements before the event, and most customers find that two to three weeks of fitting time after the gown arrives is the right amount of runway.
The bodice of Faviana 11081 is a multi-layer construction: an outer sheer illusion mesh panel carries the beading and sequin detail, while vertical boning channels set directly into the structure provide the internal framework that holds the bodice upright and in position. This is a fully boned corset-style bodice, not simply a lined or lightly structured top — the boning channels are clearly visible through the mesh in the front-facing and detail images.
For most wearers with a correctly sized gown, the boned bodice provides sufficient support to eliminate the need for a bra entirely. The key condition is that the bodice must fit accurately at the bust. If the fit is off — too loose or too tight — the boning works less effectively. Have the bodice fitted before your event so you can confirm the level of support in your specific size.
The open back does limit undergarment options. Adhesive bras, silicone cups, or built-in undergarments are practical choices if additional support is preferred. For fit or support questions before ordering, reach out by text at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 — our concierge team is glad to walk through your options.
Faviana 11081 is available in four colorways: Navy Blue, Burgundy, Dark Emerald, and Ruby. All photography on this listing is in Navy Blue — the other three colorways are available through Faviana's production but are not photographed in this batch.
Navy Blue is the most versatile of the four, reading as polished and authoritative under both warm and cool event lighting. It pairs naturally with gold or silver accessories and photographs cleanly in most venue settings.
Burgundy brings a warmth and richness that works particularly well in the fall and winter formal calendar. It is an event-safe, widely flattering shade that reads as luxurious without being attention-seeking.
Dark Emerald is a distinctive choice — a deep jewel tone that responds dramatically to event and venue lighting. Under chandeliers or spotlights, the beaded bodice in this colorway creates a particularly strong effect. It is a less-common formal color, which makes it stand out in a crowd.
Ruby is the boldest of the four: a saturated, vivid red that makes an unambiguous visual statement. It is the highest-contrast option and pairs cleanly with gold accessories and nude or metallic footwear.
If you are uncertain between colorways, contact us before ordering — our team can speak to current in-stock availability.
The mermaid silhouette of Faviana 11081 is form-following by design — every layer underneath affects how the gown sits and moves against the body. Choosing the right undergarments matters more in this silhouette than under a fuller skirt.
For the bodice: the boning provides substantial built-in support. A correctly fitted boned bodice typically eliminates the need for a separate bra. If you prefer additional support or your fit requires it, low-back or backless adhesive options are the practical route given the open-back construction.
For the skirt: light smoothing shapewear — a high-waisted shaper short or slip — can help the jersey skirt lie flat through the hip and thigh, particularly if you are between sizes or if the jersey is pulling slightly. Avoid shapewear that ends abruptly at the thigh, as the seam edge can create a visible line through jersey fabric. Seamless or bike-short-length options are preferable.
Avoid heavy-compression garments or full-body shapers — they are difficult to manage with the open back and can disrupt the bodice line. A light, seamless solution is almost always the better choice in a fitted mermaid.
Because the beaded illusion corset bodice of Faviana 11081 is the dominant visual element, accessories should support rather than compete. The goal is to let the gown read as a complete look without layering additional statement pieces on top of the embellishment.
Footwear: a strappy heeled sandal in metallic gold, silver, or a tonal shade works naturally with all four colorways. The open-toe silhouette elongates the leg under the mermaid hem, and the metallic finish echoes the beaded bodice. A block or kitten heel in the same tonal range is an option for wearers who prefer a lower profile.
Earrings: the open-back construction and strapless neckline leave the neck and shoulders bare, which makes earrings the single most important accessory decision. A delicate drop earring, a small chandelier, or a simple ear cuff in gold or crystal reads well without drawing attention away from the bodice. Avoid a statement necklace — it competes directly with the beaded mesh and fragments the look.
Clutch: a small satin or metallic clutch in a tonal or complementary shade finishes the look. Keep the bag small; the silhouette reads best when accessories remain minimal.
Faviana 11081 ships from Marlas Fashions' US warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto location — no duties or import fees for US or Canadian customers. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from confirmed order. Rush shipping is available; contact us before ordering to confirm availability for your colorway, size, and event date.
International orders outside North America ship with full tracking. Delivery windows vary by destination and will be confirmed at the time of order.
Upon arrival, hang the gown immediately and allow any packing creases in the jersey skirt to release before your fitting. If any detail or embellishment appears damaged in transit, photograph the packaging and garment and contact us promptly.
Plan to order with adequate lead time for professional fitting. The mermaid silhouette and boned bodice both benefit from being fitted after arrival — allow at least two to three weeks of fitting time beyond your expected delivery date.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on Faviana 11081 in three forms: store credit (which never expires), an exchange for a different size or colorway, or a refund less a 30% restocking fee. The gown must be unworn, unaltered, and in original condition — beading, mesh panels, and jersey skirt undamaged.
We recommend contacting us as early as possible if your event plans change or if there is a fit issue after arrival. Early communication gives you the most options, particularly for size or colorway exchanges where inventory is subject to Faviana's current production availability.
Store credit is the most flexible resolution if your preferred alternative is not in stock — it never expires and applies to any future purchase with no deadline attached.
To start a return or exchange, reach out with your order details and we will walk through the process and confirm next steps based on the gown's condition and your timeline.
