Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11428
Faviana 11428 is a floor-length beaded mesh mermaid gown with spaghetti straps, a v-neckline, and a dramatic open crisscross back secured by lace-up tie straps. Beaded floral appliqué motifs cover the bodice and continue down the skirt in both colorways — Dark Hunter Green and Cherry. The silhouette is body-contoured from bust through hips, then flares below the knee into a mermaid sweep with a slight train at the hem.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana 11428 fits close to the body from the bust all the way through the hips — this is a true mermaid, not a loose A-line with a fitted bodice. The stretch mesh construction moves with you and allows a natural stride, but the silhouette leaves little room for sizing error. Measure your full bust, natural waist, and fullest hip, then match all three to Faviana's size chart. When measurements fall into different size brackets, go with the largest. The crisscross lace-up ties at the back offer a small amount of adjustment at the waist — useful for bridging a half-size gap — but they are not a replacement for ordering the right size. The spaghetti straps are not adjustable, so torso length is worth factoring in. Petite wearers should plan for a hem alteration; the gown is cut for a standard height and the train adds a small extension beyond a clean floor break.
Fabric & Detail
The base of Faviana 11428 is a stretch mesh — a fine, slightly sheer net with enough elasticity to conform to the mermaid shape without pulling or distorting across the hips. Beaded floral appliqué clusters are layered over the mesh across the bodice and skirt, adding texture and light-catching detail from every angle. The appliqués are designed to hold through a full evening; avoid snagging on rough surfaces or corsage pins. Dry cleaning is the recommended care method for a beaded gown of this construction. Hang storage between wearings preserves the mermaid shape and protects the beads from compression.
Key Features
- Floor-length mermaid silhouette with a slight train
- Stretch mesh base with beaded floral appliqués across bodice and skirt
- V-neckline with spaghetti straps
- Dramatic open back with crisscross lace-up tie closure
- Available in Dark Hunter Green and Cherry
- Fitted through bust, waist, and hips; mermaid flare below the knee
Style & Occasion
Faviana 11428 is built for prom. The floor-length beaded mermaid silhouette, the open crisscross back, and the floral appliqué detail give this long prom dress the kind of statement presence that prom venues are designed for. Both colorways — Dark Hunter Green and Cherry — photograph well under ballroom and stage lighting, and the open back becomes a visual focal point on the dance floor and at the front of the room.
Beyond prom, this gown works for formal evening events and galas where floor-length, body-contoured formal gowns are expected: charity galas, formal award dinners, black-tie-adjacent fundraisers. The beaded appliqués read refined in genuinely formal settings. It is not suited for cocktail events, semi-formal occasions, or casual outdoor venues where the train would be impractical.
For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal in metallic gold, silver, or a skin-tone nude extends the leg line cleanly. Keep jewelry simple — small hoops or an ear cuff — so the beaded bodice stays the focal point. An upswept hairstyle or a sleek low bun exposes the neckline and lets the open back read as a complete design. A slim metallic clutch or minaudière finishes the look. For Dark Hunter Green, gold accessories read warmly; for Cherry, silver or gold both work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing Faviana 11428 accurately is the single most important step before placing your order, because the mermaid silhouette leaves very little room for error. This is a gown that fits close to the body from the bust all the way through the hips, and the stretch mesh construction, while forgiving in a narrow sense, does not provide the kind of ease you would find in a chiffon or structured ballgown.
Start with three measurements taken while wearing the undergarments you plan to wear with the gown: your full bust at the widest point across the chest, your natural waist at the narrowest point, and your fullest hip at the widest point below the waist. Compare all three to Faviana's size chart — the chart runs by individual measurement, not by dress size alone. If one measurement falls into a larger size bracket than the others, always select the size that accommodates your largest measurement. A gown that fits comfortably through the hips but needs the waist taken in slightly is a straightforward alteration. A gown that fits the waist but pulls at the hip or cannot close at the back is a much harder problem to solve.
The crisscross lace-up ties at the back of Faviana 11428 do provide a modest amount of give at the waist — typically enough to bridge a half-size gap — but they are not a substitute for selecting the right size. The ties are primarily a closure and a design feature; treat any fit adjustment they offer as a bonus, not a plan.
For torso length: the spaghetti straps on Faviana 11428 are not adjustable. If you have a longer torso, the neckline may sit slightly lower than the lookbook image suggests, which is worth factoring in when ordering. Shorter torsos generally find the fit very natural.
Hem length is the other key consideration for a floor-length mermaid. The gown is cut to fall at the floor on a standard height, but what that means varies by brand. The train at the hem adds a small extension beyond a clean floor-length break. If you are petite, plan for a hem alteration — it does not affect the mermaid seam or the fit through the hips, so a skilled seamstress can raise the hem cleanly. If you are taller, the train may work in your favor naturally.
Finally, if you are between sizes and genuinely undecided, our team is happy to walk through your measurements in detail and compare them against the Faviana size chart before you commit. The goal is always to get you into the right gown the first time.
Faviana 11428 is built for events where a dramatic, body-contoured silhouette is not just acceptable but expected. The mermaid fit, the open crisscross back, and the beaded floral appliqués across the bodice and skirt create a gown with a confident, high-impact presence — and that presence works best in settings with genuine formality, great lighting, and a room where the dress gets seen from multiple angles throughout the evening.
Prom is the clearest fit for Faviana 11428. The combination of the floor-length mermaid silhouette, the beaded detailing, and the dramatic open back gives this gown exactly the kind of statement energy that defines prom. Both colorways — Dark Hunter Green and Cherry — photograph exceptionally well under the stage and ballroom lighting typical of prom venues, and the open back becomes a visual centerpiece whenever the gown is seen from behind on a dance floor or at the front of a room.
Beyond prom, Faviana 11428 works for formal evening events and galas where floor-length, body-contoured gowns are the norm. Think charity galas, formal award dinners, black-tie-adjacent fundraisers, or any occasion where guests are expected to arrive in full-length formal attire. The beaded appliqués read as refined rather than purely party-ready, so the gown holds its own in genuinely formal rooms.
One consideration worth naming directly: the open back is dramatic. In settings where back-baring gowns might create discomfort — religious ceremonies, conservative formal events, or venues with a strict dress code — this gown may not be the right choice. That is not a criticism of the design; it is simply a matter of matching the gown to the room. For events where a sleek, fashion-forward formal gown is celebrated, Faviana 11428 has very few rivals in this price range.
The gown is not styled for cocktail events or semi-formal occasions — the floor-length mermaid silhouette is too long and too formal for those settings. It is also not suited for casual outdoor weddings or informal garden events where the train would be impractical on uneven ground.
If you are weighing Faviana 11428 against another gown for your event and want a second opinion on whether the style and formality level are the right match, our team is well-equipped to help you think it through before you decide.
Both colorways of Faviana 11428 carry the same silhouette, the same beaded floral appliqué pattern, and the same crisscross open-back construction, so the choice comes down to color personality and how each shade performs under your event's lighting.
Dark Hunter Green is a deep, saturated jewel tone — rich and dramatic without being black. Under warm amber or candlelight-style event lighting, the green deepens further and the beaded appliqués catch the light with a warm shimmer. It is a strong choice for those who want to stand out distinctively without going to a red or a bold fuchsia. Dark Hunter Green is photographed in the front view at position one on the product page, so you can assess the depth of the color directly from the images.
Cherry is a vivid, true red with high-contrast presence. Under the bright event lighting typical of prom ballrooms and gala spaces, Cherry reads boldly and the beaded appliqués pop with intensity. The Cherry colorway is photographed in three views — front, back, and a second front angle — giving you a thorough look at both the silhouette and the open-back detail in that shade.
If you are still undecided, consider what other guests at your event are likely to wear. Dark Hunter Green reads as distinctive in most formal crowds; Cherry is a classic statement that holds its own in any room.
The back of Faviana 11428 is one of its defining design elements, and planning your undergarments around it is worth doing before the gown arrives. The wide open back — visible from between the shoulder blades down to the lower back — means that a conventional bra is not compatible with this gown. The back opening is too broad and too low for any standard bra back to remain hidden.
The most practical approach is a low-back adhesive bra. Adhesive bras in a skin tone appropriate to your complexion are widely available and sit entirely within the front of the bodice, with nothing crossing the open back. Some wearers find that the stretch mesh construction of the bodice provides enough support at the bust to be worn without an additional bra, depending on cup size — a full B or smaller C often manages well with the built-in structure alone.
If you rely on underwire support, a low-back plunging bra with a removable back strap is the most reliable option. The crisscross lace-up ties at the center back can partially obscure thin straps if positioned carefully, giving you a workable solution without compromising the look of the open back.
For the lower body, seamless minimal underwear is recommended given the close mermaid fit through the hips. Avoid anything with thick waistbands or seams that could show through the stretch mesh fabric.
Faviana 11428 is constructed on a stretch mesh base — a fine, slightly sheer net fabric with enough elasticity to conform to the mermaid silhouette without restricting movement. Over the mesh, beaded floral appliqué clusters are layered across the bodice and continue down the skirt, adding texture, dimension, and light-catching detail throughout.
The stretch quality of the mesh means the gown moves with you rather than against you, which matters significantly in a mermaid silhouette. Floor-length fitted gowns can feel restrictive, but the mesh base allows a natural stride without the fabric pulling or distorting across the hips. The flare at the knee provides enough room to walk comfortably and to move freely when the occasion calls for it.
The beaded appliqués are secured to the mesh and designed to hold through a full evening of wear. As with any beaded gown, avoid snagging the fabric on rough surfaces — chair backs, corsage pins on neighboring garments, or abrasive jewelry. If a bead loosens over time, a skilled seamstress can reattach it cleanly.
For care, dry cleaning is standard for beaded formal gowns. Hang storage between wearings preserves the mermaid shape and prevents the beads from pressing against the mesh under folded weight.
The fitted mermaid silhouette of Faviana 11428 rewards footwear that extends the leg line without drawing attention away from the gown. A strappy heeled sandal in metallic gold, silver, or a nude tone matching your skin is the strongest option — the open-toe silhouette keeps the look elegant, and the heel height adds proportion to the floor-length mermaid without competing with the beaded bodice above.
For jewelry, the beaded floral appliqués across Faviana 11428 provide the dominant visual detail, so restraint is the right call. Small hoop earrings or a simple ear cuff in gold or silver complement the beading without overpowering it. An upswept hairstyle or a sleek low bun exposes the neckline fully and lets the open back read as a complete design — hair worn down may partially obscure the crisscross back detail.
A small structured clutch or slim minaudière in a metallic tone completes the look. For Dark Hunter Green, gold accessories read warmly and richly; for Cherry, silver or gold both work depending on your personal preference.
