Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11420
Faviana 11420 is a long A-line chiffon gown built for big occasions. The silhouette flows cleanly from a structured, boned sweetheart bodice through a full, floor-length skirt finished with tiered ruffle layers at the hem. Thin spaghetti straps sit over the shoulders, and the back closes with a crisscross lace-up tie that leaves the back open down to the waist. Available in Sky Blue, Bright Lilac, Cotton Candy Pink, Light Yellow, and Merlot.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana 11420 is a true A-line — the skirt releases gently from the waist and widens steadily to the floor. It is not a ballgown. The bodice is boned, which means it holds its shape and provides support through the bust without a separate undergarment. The crisscross lace-up back lets you fine-tune the fit around your waist and ribcage on the day of the event, which is genuinely useful if you are between sizes or have had alterations done. The gown runs in sizes 00 through 16 and fits true to size for most customers; Faviana's own size chart is the best reference for exact measurements.
Fabric & Detail
The gown is made entirely in chiffon — a lightweight, airy fabric that moves well and photographs with a soft, luminous quality. The skirt is cut with multiple flowing panels that add volume without weight. At the hem, tiered ruffles give the skirt a dramatic, layered finish. The boning in the bodice is built into the lining so it remains hidden but functional, keeping the sweetheart neckline in place throughout the night. The spaghetti straps are delicate and complement the open silhouette of the back.
Key Features
- Long A-line silhouette in lightweight chiffon
- Sweetheart neckline with thin spaghetti straps
- Boned bodice for built-in support — no separate strapless bra needed
- Crisscross lace-up back with open back to the waist — adjustable fit
- Tiered ruffle hem detail
- Available in Sky Blue, Bright Lilac, Cotton Candy Pink, Light Yellow, and Merlot
- Sizes 00–16
Style & Occasion
Faviana 11420 works beautifully for prom, formal dances, sweet-16 celebrations, debut events, bridesmaid roles, and evening weddings as a wedding guest gown. The soft chiffon palette — especially Sky Blue, Cotton Candy Pink, and Light Yellow — makes it a natural choice for spring and garden wedding ceremonies. Merlot is a strong option for New Year's Eve events and formal evening occasions. For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal or a classic pointed pump in metallic or nude complements the open back. Keep jewelry understated — the open back and ruffle skirt are the visual focal points, so simple drop earrings or a delicate chain work better than a statement necklace.

Frequently Asked Questions
The back of Faviana 11420 closes with a crisscross lace-up tie — two sets of ties that cross over each other down the open back and fasten at the waist. This is not a zipper. It works more like the back of a corset: you thread the ties through a series of loops or hooks, cross them, and pull them to tighten or loosen the fit around your ribcage and waist. The back itself is open down to the waist, so you will see skin between the ties, which is part of the design. The practical benefit of this closure is real: it gives you about an inch or two of adjustment range. If you are between sizes — say, your measurements put you at a size 8 in the bust and a size 10 in the waist — you can size to your larger measurement and use the lacing to cinch the smaller area. This is a much better approach than sizing down and hoping the fit works. For the best result, have a friend or seamstress tie the back while you are standing in your shoes and foundation garments. Tie it snugly enough to feel supportive but not so tight that it restricts breathing or sitting. A good rule: you should be able to take a full breath comfortably and sit without the lacing digging into your sides. If you plan to wear the gown for a long event — a prom night, a wedding reception, an evening formal — it is worth doing a full trial run at home. Wear it for 30 to 45 minutes, sit down, stand up, and move around. This tells you whether the tie tension is right or whether it needs a small adjustment. One tip on the open back: because the back is open to the waist, backless or low-back adhesive bra solutions work better than traditional bras. The boned bodice provides enough built-in support for most bust sizes, so many customers wear the gown without any additional bra at all. If you are unsure, bring the gown to your fitting and test both options. If you have questions about fit or sizing before ordering, our concierge team is happy to help — text us at +1 416-536-2956 or reach us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131.
Faviana 11420 is designed for prom, formal dances, sweet-16 parties, debut events, bridesmaid roles, and wedding guest occasions including evening weddings and formal receptions. It also works well for New Year's Eve events, especially in the Merlot colorway. The silhouette — a long, flowing A-line in soft chiffon with a boned sweetheart bodice — fits naturally into any black-tie or formal evening context. For prom and formal dances, the gown stands out without being over-the-top. The tiered ruffle hem and open lace-up back give it enough visual interest to photograph well on a big night, while the overall shape remains elegant rather than flashy. Multiple color options mean it works for a variety of prom themes and color schemes. For sweet-16 parties and debut events, the soft palette and flowing chiffon feel age-appropriate and refined. Sky Blue, Cotton Candy Pink, and Light Yellow in particular read as classic debut and sweet-16 colors. For bridesmaid wear, this is a strong option because the crisscross lace-up back gives each bridesmaid some individual fit adjustment, which is practical when dressing a group of different body types. A coordinator or maid of honor can order the same style in the same color and get a cohesive look without worrying that one size will not work for everyone. For wedding guest occasions, the gown is appropriate for evening and formal weddings. The chiffon fabric and clean A-line silhouette are refined enough for a seated ceremony and a reception. Merlot and Sky Blue are both safe choices for a wedding guest — they photograph well in group shots and read as intentional rather than accidental. If you are on the fence about whether this gown works for your specific event, describe the dress code and setting and our team can give you a direct answer. Faviana 11420 comes in Sky Blue, Bright Lilac, Cotton Candy Pink, Light Yellow, Merlot and is cut in sizes 00-16.
Faviana 11420 runs true to size for most customers. The gown is available in sizes 00 through 16. The most reliable way to order the correct size is to take three measurements — bust, waist, and hips — and compare them directly to Faviana's published size chart, which is available on the product page. A few things to know: the boned bodice is the most structured part of the gown, so fit through the bust is less forgiving than fit through the waist. If your bust and waist measurements fall in different size ranges, size to your bust and use the crisscross lace-up back to adjust the waist. If your hips are the largest measurement, size to your hips and have a seamstress take in the waist if needed — this is a straightforward alteration. For customers who are in-between sizes, sizing up and using the lace-up closure to tighten is generally the better approach than sizing down and hoping the fabric stretches. Chiffon does not have significant stretch. If you need help interpreting your measurements or comparing two sizes, our team can walk you through it before you order.
Because the back of Faviana 11420 is open to the waist, a traditional bra with a back strap is not an option. The good news is that the bodice is boned, which means it is built to support the bust without a bra for most sizes. Many customers wear this gown with no bra at all and find the boning provides enough hold through a full evening. If you want additional support, the best options are low-back adhesive bras or stick-on silicone cups. These adhere directly to the skin, have no back strap, and stay hidden under the sweetheart neckline. Look for a style rated for all-day or all-night wear rather than a light-use adhesive. For the bottom half, seamless underwear or a light thong works best to avoid visible lines under the chiffon, which is a lightweight and somewhat sheer fabric. High-waisted shapewear that extends to the waist is compatible with the gown because the waist is the lowest point of the back opening. If you are unsure about support for your size before ordering, we recommend doing a home fitting with the gown before the event to test what works for your body.
Yes, Faviana 11420 can be hemmed and tailored. Chiffon is a fabric that most experienced seamstresses and formal wear tailors work with regularly, so finding someone to hem it is straightforward. For height adjustments: if you are petite and the gown is too long, a floor-length hem is the standard alteration. Because the skirt has tiered ruffles at the hem, a skilled seamstress will need to account for how the tiers fall after shortening — this is not a simple straight hem. Ask for a fitting with the gown on before any cutting is done. For waist and side seam adjustments: the crisscross lace-up back handles minor waist adjustments on its own. If you need more significant shaping through the torso, a seamstress can take in the side seams. The bodice boning will stay in place through this alteration. Timing: book your first fitting as soon as the gown arrives so there is enough time for multiple fittings if needed. For a prom or formal event, allow at least three to four weeks between receiving the gown and the event date.
Chiffon is one of the most comfortable fabrics for a long event. It is lightweight, breathes well, and the skirt moves freely, which means dancing is easy without worrying about the fabric restricting your stride or getting tangled. The boning in the bodice is designed to provide structure and support, not to dig in. When the gown is sized correctly, you should feel the boning holding the bodice in place without pressing uncomfortably into your ribs. If the boning feels sharp or uncomfortable during a home fitting, that is usually a sign the gown is too small through the bodice — not a defect in the dress. The crisscross lace-up back can be adjusted during the event if needed. If the back starts to feel tight after a few hours of dancing and sitting, loosening the lacing slightly will relieve the pressure. This is one of the practical advantages of a lace-up closure over a fixed zipper. For shoes: a lower block heel or kitten heel will be more comfortable for dancing all night than a very tall stiletto, even though both look good with this silhouette.
The colors in the product photos are accurate to how they look in natural and indoor event lighting for most customers. Sky Blue is a clear, medium blue — not navy, not pastel, closer to a classic cornflower or cerulean tone. Bright Lilac is a true purple-leaning lilac with some saturation to it, not a pale lavender. Cotton Candy Pink is a soft, warm pink with no coral in it. Light Yellow is a soft butter yellow, not neon and not cream. Merlot is a deep wine red with burgundy tones. For choosing between colors: think about the lighting at your event. Chiffon picks up ambient light well, so lighter shades like Sky Blue, Cotton Candy Pink, and Light Yellow tend to photograph brightly under flash and look luminous in natural light. Merlot and Bright Lilac are stronger choices for indoor evening events with warm artificial lighting, where they deepen and read as very rich on camera. If the gown is for a bridesmaid role, confirm the exact colorway with the couple before ordering. If it is for a sweet-16 or debut, Cotton Candy Pink and Light Yellow are the most popular choices for that context.
