Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11667
Faviana 11667 is a long strapless chiffon gown in a fit-and-flare silhouette with a sweetheart neckline. The neckline edge is finished with lace floral appliqué trim that follows the sweetheart curve, and the entire bodice is heavily ruched from the bust through the hip. The back features a crisscross lace-up closure with the full upper and mid back exposed, creating a dramatic open-back look. This gown is available in Seaglass, Light Yellow, Black, and Red.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana 11667 is a true fit-and-flare: it hugs the body closely through the bust, waist, and hips, then opens into a flowing skirt at hip level. This is not a mermaid cut — the flare starts at the hip rather than below the knee, which gives the skirt more movement and makes it easier to walk in. The structured strapless bodice stays in place thanks to interior boning. The ruching across the bodice and hips is flattering on a wide range of body shapes because it draws the eye through the waist and smooths over the hips. Order your standard size; if you are between sizes, size up and plan for minor tailoring at the bust or waist.
Fabric & Detail
The base fabric is chiffon, which gives the skirt its soft, flowing drape and lightweight feel. The bodice is structured underneath with boning channels to support the strapless fit. Along the sweetheart neckline, lace floral appliqué trim adds a delicate, finished detail without covering the body of the gown — the chiffon remains the dominant fabric throughout. The ruching is sewn into the bodice fabric itself, so it stays put and does not shift during wear. The back lace-up ties are part of the crisscross closure and allow a small amount of fit adjustment at the back.
Key Features
- Strapless sweetheart neckline with lace floral appliqué trim along the edge
- Heavily ruched bodice from bust through hip
- Fit-and-flare silhouette — fitted through bust, waist, and hips, flaring at hip level
- Interior boning for structured strapless support
- Crisscross lace-up open back with full upper and mid back exposure
- Flowing chiffon skirt, floor-length
- Available in Seaglass, Light Yellow, Black, and Red
Style & Occasion
Faviana 11667 is designed for prom, formal dances, gala events, and evening occasions. The open lace-up back and dramatic fit-and-flare silhouette make it a strong choice for prom night or any formal red-carpet-style event. The Seaglass colorway photographs with a soft aqua-green tone and reads as fresh and distinctive in a crowd. Light Yellow is bright and clean in person — closer to a true pale yellow than to champagne. Black and Red are also available for those who want a bolder or more classic look. Pair this gown with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewelry to let the ruching and open back speak for themselves. A simple clutch and drop earrings complete the look without competing with the dress. Because the back is fully open, a traditional bra is not wearable — rely on the built-in boning for support. Marlas Fashions is an authorized Faviana retailer with over 40 years of experience, and every gown is inspected before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Faviana 11667 is built for prom first — the dramatic open lace-up back, the fit-and-flare chiffon skirt, and the lace floral appliqué neckline are all details that read as prom-ready in the best way. That said, this gown works just as well at any formal evening event where you want to make an impression. Here is a practical breakdown by occasion.
Prom and formal dances: This is the primary audience for this dress. The structured strapless bodice keeps everything in place through a full night of photos, dinner, and dancing. The flowing chiffon skirt moves well on a dance floor without restricting your stride. The open back is a statement detail that photographs beautifully.
Galas and evening events: If you are attending a charity gala, an awards dinner, or any black-tie-adjacent event, Faviana 11667 holds up in that room. The fit-and-flare silhouette is classic and elongating, and the chiffon fabric reads as refined rather than casual.
Formal dances outside of prom: Military balls, cotillions, and debutante presentations are all realistic fits. The covered front with the open back strikes a balance between modest and dramatic that works in conservative formal settings.
As a wedding guest, this dress suits evening receptions and black-tie galas best, where a dramatic open back is a welcomed formal statement. It is also not a good fit for a mother-of-the-bride role or any event with a strict conservative dress code. The open back is simply too exposed for those settings.
Color choice by occasion: Seaglass is a distinctive choice that will stand out at prom without clashing with most school colors. Light Yellow is fresh and bright and photographs very cleanly outdoors. Black gives the gown a more grown-up, formal look that transitions well from prom to evening events. Red is the most bold option and is best reserved for events where you want to be the center of attention.
In short: if your event calls for a long formal gown and you want something with a real wow factor at the back, Faviana 11667 is a strong pick for prom, galas, and formal evening occasions.
This is one of the most practical questions to ask before buying a strapless gown, and the answer for Faviana 11667 is genuinely reassuring. Here is exactly what the dress provides and what you may want to add.
Built-in support: The strapless bodice of Faviana 11667 is structured with interior boning channels that run vertically through the bodice. This boning holds the bodice upright and prevents it from rolling or slipping down during wear. It does the same job a strapless bra would do — you do not need additional boning or a bustier underneath. Most customers wearing this gown skip the bra entirely and rely on the boning alone.
Can I wear a bra with it? Because the back is fully open with a crisscross lace-up closure and no fabric across the mid-back, a traditional bra with a back band is not compatible with this gown. A strapless adhesive bra or silicone cups are the only bra options if you feel you need extra lift. That said, the structured boning in this bodice is designed specifically to eliminate that need for most body types.
Shapewear: The ruching across the bodice and hip area is naturally smoothing. The gathered fabric creates texture that minimizes the appearance of any unevenness through the midsection. If you prefer shapewear, a high-waist brief or a short bodysuit that ends well above the hemline is the right choice — anything with a back strap would show through the open back. Seamless, low-back options work best.
Sizing for support: If you have a larger bust, the most important step is making sure the bodice fits correctly. A bodice that is even slightly too large will not hold as well as one that fits properly. If you are between sizes, size up and have the bodice taken in by a seamstress — a snug, custom-fitted bodice provides far better support than a loose one, regardless of boning.
Bottom line: Faviana 11667 is designed to be worn without a bra. The boning does the work. Focus on getting the right fit, and the dress supports itself.
Yes, Faviana 11667 can be hemmed. Because the skirt is made from flowing chiffon with a relatively clean silhouette at the hem, a skilled seamstress can shorten it without disrupting the overall look of the dress. The key detail to discuss with your seamstress is that chiffon requires a careful rolled or French hem finish — a standard hem can cause the edge to fray or pucker over time. Most bridal and formal alterations specialists know how to handle chiffon, so bring the dress to someone with experience in formal wear.
How much can come off? You can typically remove two to four inches from a chiffon gown hem without structural issues. If you need more than that, ask your seamstress to assess the lining length as well, since the lining and outer layer need to remain proportional.
For floor-length gowns on petite frames, the usual recommendation is to try the dress on with the shoes you plan to wear before marking the hem. Heel height affects how much needs to come off. A small floor-sweeping train is often preferred at prom — it photographs well and reads as intentional — so do not over-hem before you see how it looks standing in your shoes.
Alterations at the waist and bust: ruching is more difficult to alter than plain fabric, so waist adjustments should be minor. A local seamstress who works with formal gowns regularly can assess what is feasible once the dress arrives.
Faviana 11667 is genuinely comfortable for a full evening of dancing, which is one of the practical advantages of the fit-and-flare cut over a tight mermaid silhouette. Here is why it works well on a dance floor.
The flare begins at the hip, not at the knee. This means your legs have full freedom of movement from the hip down. You are not fighting a narrow hem when you walk, climb stairs, or move on a dance floor the way you might in a strict mermaid or pencil gown. The chiffon skirt is lightweight and moves with you rather than against you.
The bodice is structured with boning, which means it stays put. You do not need to adjust it throughout the evening. The ruching is sewn in, so it does not shift. The crisscross lace-up back can be tied to your preferred tightness — snug enough to feel secure, loose enough to breathe comfortably.
One practical note: the open back means you will feel airflow across your back all evening, which most people find comfortable rather than a drawback. If you are attending an event in a cold venue, keep a wrap or jacket on hand for the cooler portions of the evening.
Overall, among long formal gowns, fit-and-flare in chiffon is one of the more dance-friendly choices. Customers who have worn similar Faviana styles consistently report that the skirt moves well and does not trip them up.
Seaglass is a soft, muted aqua-green with a slight grey undertone. In professional photos it can appear slightly more saturated than it does in person — in natural light it reads as a calm, dusty teal rather than a bright turquoise. It is a distinctive color that is unusual enough to stand out at prom without being overwhelming. It works well on a wide range of skin tones because the grey undertone softens it.
Light Yellow is a clean, true pale yellow — closer to lemon than to champagne or gold. It photographs very brightly outdoors but in indoor lighting it has a softer, fresher look. It is a cheerful, springlike color that suits warmer and olive skin tones particularly well.
If you cannot decide: think about your venue and the time of day. Seaglass photographs beautifully under mixed indoor and outdoor lighting and is an unusual choice that will show up distinctly in group photos. Light Yellow is stunning outdoors in natural light but can wash out slightly under warm fluorescent ballroom lighting.
Black and Red are also available in this style. Black gives the gown a more polished, evening-wear feel and is the most versatile color for future wear. Red makes the open back and fit-and-flare silhouette very dramatic — it is a high-impact choice.

Chiffon gowns require gentle handling for cleaning and storage. After wearing Faviana 11667, the most important step is to have it professionally dry cleaned rather than attempting to wash it at home. Chiffon is delicate and can pucker, shrink, or lose its drape if it gets wet in a home washing machine. Let the cleaner know the dress has interior boning so they can handle that section correctly.
For storage, hang the gown on a padded hanger inside a breathable garment bag — never a plastic dry-cleaning bag, which traps moisture and can yellow fabric over time. Store it in a cool, dry location away from direct light.
For travel: chiffon packs better than many formal fabrics. The most effective method is to lay the gown flat in a suitcase or garment bag, fold the skirt loosely with tissue paper between the folds to prevent sharp creases, and pack it on top of everything else. When you arrive, hang it immediately and let any fold lines fall out naturally. Light steam from a travel steamer — held several inches from the fabric — can help with any stubborn creases. Do not iron chiffon directly; always use a press cloth or steam only.
Because Faviana 11667 has a lot going on — ruching, an open back, floral appliqué at the neckline, and a flowing skirt — the most effective approach is to keep accessories simple and let the dress lead.
Shoes: Strappy heeled sandals are the classic choice with a strapless fit-and-flare gown. A thin strap or barely-there sandal in metallic silver, gold, or a color that matches your gown keeps the look clean. Block heels or platforms work if you prefer more stability for dancing. Avoid a very chunky shoe — it competes with the movement of the skirt.
Jewigery: The open back is a feature, so do not cover it with a necklace chain sitting across the back. Drop earrings or small hoops work well because the neckline already has lace floral appliqué detail — a statement necklace on top of that trim can feel crowded. If you want to add something at the wrist, a delicate bracelet or bangle is enough.
Bag: A small clutch in a metallic or tonal color keeps the look formal and uncluttered.
For Seaglass: silver or white gold jewelry reads cleanly. For Light Yellow: gold or warm-tone jewelry complements the color. For Black or Red: either metal works — choose based on your personal preference.
