Faviana E11659E Plus Size Strapless Corset Fitted Gown with High Slit

The Faviana E11659E is a strapless, fitted, high-slit gown, so your accessories need to work with — not against — the silhouette. Here is how to think through each category. Shoes: The high front slit means your footwear is going to show, so choose something intentional. Strappy stiletto sandals are the obvious match — they keep the leg line long and uninterrupted. A heeled mule also works if you want a cleaner look. Avoid ankle-strap sandals with thick straps, as they can visually cut off the leg at the worst possible point when the slit opens. Platform heels are fine if you need the height; just make sure they are sleek rather than chunky. For color, metallic gold or silver goes with all four colorways (Black, Dark Emerald, Navy, Ruby). Nude or champagne beige works best with Emerald and Navy. Black shoes are the safe call with Black and Navy. Ruby pairs beautifully with gold or a nude. Jewelry: The strapless neckline gives you full real estate for a necklace, but the boned bodice already adds structure and visual weight to the top half of the dress, so you do not need a statement necklace to fill the space. If you want to wear something at the neck, keep it delicate — a thin chain pendant, a small cluster pendant, or a simple choker. Earrings are where you can go bolder: long drop earrings, chandelier styles, or oversized hoops all work well with the clean neckline. If you go with a big earring, skip the necklace entirely. Crystal or rhinestone pieces read formal without looking overdone. Hair and headpiece: An updo — a sleek bun, a chignon, or a twisted style — shows off the crisscross lace-up back. If you plan to wear your hair down, it will cover the back detail in photographs, which is worth thinking about. A simple hair clip or comb with some sparkle is all you need if your hair is up. Bag: A small clutch in metallic or a color-matched satin pouch keeps the look polished. Avoid anything with a shoulder strap — it will not hang right over a strapless gown and tends to pull the eye to an awkward place. Skin and undergarments: Because this is a strapless gown with a high slit, smooth shapewear underneath will make a difference in how the fabric drapes. A strapless bodysuit or a high-waist shaping brief works well. Avoid anything with visible lines under stretch jersey.

The Faviana E11659E was specifically designed and photographed for the plus-size customer — it is a plus-size style, and the product images on this page show the gown on a plus-size model. So the short answer is: yes, this gown was built with curves in mind, and it shows. Here is how the construction actually works in your favor: The boned corset bodice is the most important feature for fit. The boning channels run vertically through the bodice and create a structured panel that holds the top in place without needing straps. For a fuller bust, this kind of internal structure does more work than a simple elastic or smocked top — it distributes the support evenly rather than pulling at one point. The bodice will not collapse or slip if you are active on the dance floor. The crisscross lace-up back lets you adjust the waist fit after you put the gown on. This is genuinely useful for plus-size proportions, where the dress size that fits your hips may be slightly looser at the waist. You can tighten or loosen the lacing to dial in the fit at the back without altering the rest of the gown. This adjustment range is one of the reasons this silhouette is popular in plus sizes. The ruching at the hip and stomach area is doing double duty: it creates a gathered texture that draws the eye, and it also allows the fabric to sit more comfortably across the midsection rather than lying completely flat. Ruching in this zone is a well-established construction technique for creating a more forgiving fit without adding bulk. The high front slit is worth discussing for fit as well. On a fitted long gown, a slit is a practical necessity for walking — without it, a narrow skirt would restrict your stride. The slit on the E11659E starts high enough to allow a full, comfortable step. For fuller hips and thighs, this is an important detail: it means you are not fighting the fabric all evening. For sizing: Faviana's plus-size line generally runs true to size against their size chart. Measure your bust, waist, and hips — all three — before selecting a size, because the fitted silhouette does not forgive a significant gap between your measurements and the chart. If you fall between sizes, size up and use the lace-up back to take in the waist. It is much easier to lace it tighter than to have a bodice that is too small. If you have specific questions about your measurements relative to the size chart, reach out before ordering — the fit team can advise.

Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. US and Canadian orders ship with no import duties. International orders are shipped worldwide with full tracking on every package. Standard delivery time is 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is placed. If you have a specific event date and are cutting it close, rush shipping is available at checkout — select the rush option and the team will confirm the earliest guaranteed delivery date for your location. A few things to keep in mind for timeline planning: the Faviana E11659E is available in four colors (Black, Dark Emerald, Navy, Ruby), and not every color and size combination ships at the same speed. If your event is within three weeks, contact the team before ordering so they can confirm current stock and the fastest available ship date for your specific size and color. It is always better to check first than to discover a delay after the order is placed. For the fastest possible response on shipping availability, text or WhatsApp the concierge line — contact details are in the FAQ below covering the concierge service.

Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on eligible items. Here is exactly how it works: If you decide to return the Faviana E11659E, you have three options: a full store credit (which never expires and can be used on any future order), an exchange for a different size or color, or a refund to your original payment method less a 30% restocking fee. The restocking fee applies to refunds only — store credit and exchanges do not carry that fee. The dress must be returned in its original, unworn condition with all tags attached. Because this is a fitted, structured gown, try it on carefully at home before wearing it to your event: put it on fully, check the fit, walk in it, and sit down. If anything feels off — bodice too tight, slit too high for your comfort level, or length not right — contact the team before your event date so there is enough time to exchange for the right size. For plus-size fits specifically, it is worth ordering with enough lead time that an exchange is still possible if needed. Ordering 6 to 8 weeks before your event gives you a comfortable window to receive the dress, try it on, and still exchange if the size is not right. To start a return or exchange, contact the Marlas Fashions team directly — the fastest way is the concierge line.

There are a lot of fitted strapless gowns on the market, but the E11659E has a few construction details that set it apart from the average long gown in this price range. First, the boning. A lot of fitted strapless gowns use elastic or light smocking at the top, which works until you move around a lot or the evening gets warm. The E11659E uses actual boning channels — rigid vertical panels inside the bodice — which means the top stays put regardless of how much you move. This is the same construction you see in bridal gowns, and it makes a real difference for a strapless style worn all evening. Second, the crisscross lace-up back is a functional adjustment tool, not just a design detail. It lets you fine-tune the fit at the waist after the dress is on. For plus-size fits in particular, this kind of adjustability is hard to find in a ready-to-wear plus-size gown. Third, the stretch jersey fabric gives this gown a comfort level that most formal fitted gowns in structured fabrics do not have. You can sit, dance, and move without the fabric fighting back. The sheen is high enough to look fully formal, but the material has enough give to feel like a second skin rather than a rigid shell.

The crisscross lace-up back runs through the upper bodice of the Faviana E11659E. It is not a full corset back that runs the entire length of the gown — the lacing covers the bodice panel, and the skirt below it is a smooth fitted stretch jersey. The back panel below the lacing is covered by fabric, so this is not an open-back gown. The lacing tightens or loosens the bodice at the back waist and upper hip. In practical terms, this means you can adjust by roughly one full size in either direction — if the dress fits your hips but is slightly loose at the waist, you can lace it tighter to bring in the back. If the bodice is slightly snug, you can loosen the lacing to give yourself more room. To put it on: step into the gown and pull it up to the correct height, then have someone lace the back for you, starting from the bottom of the lacing and working upward. Tie it securely at the top with a double knot tucked into the back so the laces do not come loose during the event. If you have never worn a lace-up back before, the key thing to know is that the tighter the lacing, the more support you get at the waist — but you want to be able to breathe and sit comfortably. Lace it so it holds firmly without digging in when you take a full breath.

Yes — this is a popular approach for prom groups and formal events where everyone wants a coordinated look without wearing identical dresses. The Faviana E11659E comes in four colors: Black, Dark Emerald, Navy, and Ruby. A group can wear the same style in different colors, or mix this gown with other Faviana fitted styles in the same colorway for a cohesive, non-matching look. For prom groups, a common approach is to pick one color family and have each person choose their own style within that family. The E11659E in Dark Emerald pairs well with other jewel-tone gowns in the group. Navy and Black are the most neutral and easiest to coordinate with a wide range of other gowns. For damas or event party coordination, the four available colors give you a lot of flexibility. If you are dressing a larger group, contact the Marlas Fashions team early to confirm stock levels across sizes — fitted plus-size gowns in popular colors can move quickly, and you want to make sure the full group can be accommodated in the same color. The team can also advise on which other styles in the current collection pair well with the E11659E for a coordinated group look.

The Faviana E11659E runs true to size against Faviana's published plus-size size chart in most cases, but because of the fitted nature of this silhouette, your measurements need to be accurate before you commit to a size. Measure your bust at the fullest point, your natural waist, and your hips at the fullest point. All three measurements matter for this gown — the boned bodice fits to the bust and waist, while the fitted skirt fits to the hips. If your bust and hip measurements put you in different sizes on the chart, size to your hips and use the crisscross lace-up back to adjust the waist. Do not size down hoping the stretch jersey will give — the boning in the bodice does not stretch, and a too-small bodice will be uncomfortable and potentially unwearable. If you are on the borderline between two sizes, go up. Faviana's plus-size line typically offers consistent sizing across their collection, so if you have worn another Faviana plus-size style before, use that as your reference point. If this is your first Faviana purchase, rely on the measurements rather than your usual dress size number.
