Description
About the Dress: Faviana S10818
Faviana S10818 is a long, fully beaded mermaid gown covered in sequin embellishment from the top of the bodice to the hem. It features a V-neckline with spaghetti straps, cut-outs at the sides of the waist, and an open back that drops down to the waist. The gown is built on a jersey base and is available in Navy Blue and Hunter Green.
Fit & Silhouette
This is a mermaid silhouette — fitted through the bust, waist, and hips, then flaring out toward the hem. The jersey lining underneath gives the gown stretch and helps it move with your body while holding its shape. The fit is close and structured through the torso. Faviana S10818 is cut in sizes 0–12. If you are between sizes, sizing up is generally the better call so the gown sits comfortably at the hips. The side cut-outs at the waist sit naturally and do not interfere with the overall fit.
Fabric & Detail
The outer layer is fully covered in sequin beading on a jersey base — meaning every inch of the gown, bodice and skirt alike, is embellished. There are no plain panels. The sequin surface catches light from every angle, which is what makes this style stand out at a prom, gala, or New Year's event. The side cut-outs add a structural element to the waist without breaking up the beading pattern. The back opening runs from the neckline down to the waist and is finished cleanly along the edges.

Style & Occasion
Faviana S10818 is built for events where full-length glamour is the point. It works for prom, formal galas, New Year's Eve, holiday events, evening ceremonies, and pageants. The Navy Blue reads deep and polished under event lighting; the Hunter Green is rich and striking, particularly in photos. Both colors photograph strongly. For styling, the beading and open back do most of the work — keep accessories minimal. Strappy heeled sandals or simple pointed-toe pumps work well. For jewelry, small drop earrings or none at all let the gown lead. A small clutch in metallic or tonal fabric rounds out the look cleanly. Marlas Fashions carries Faviana S10818 as an authorized retailer and inspects every gown before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is one of the most common questions we get about mermaid gowns, and it is a fair one. Faviana S10818 is fitted through the hips, which does limit stride length compared to an A-line or ballgown. That said, the jersey base underneath the sequin layer gives the fabric a natural stretch that most fully beaded gowns do not have. Jersey moves with your body rather than fighting it. In practical terms: walking, posing, and slow dancing are completely comfortable. Fast dancing or wide movements like cartwheels or high kicks will feel restricted — that is the nature of a mermaid cut, not a defect in this particular gown. Most customers who wear mermaid gowns to prom or a gala report being comfortable for a full evening as long as they take shorter steps when walking and are mindful of the fit through the hips. Fit through the hips is the critical measurement for this style. The gown runs in sizes 0–12. If your hips are on the fuller side within your size range, sizing up by one gives you noticeably more ease of movement without the gown looking loose through the bust or waist — the sequin layer and jersey base both have enough structure to hold a slightly larger size in place. Wearing the gown before your event is strongly recommended. Put it on, sit down, walk up and down a few stairs, and do a test spin on the dance floor in your shoes. This tells you quickly whether you need any minor alterations — typically a slight let-out at the hip seam — before the big night. A local tailor can do this in an hour or two and it makes a significant difference in comfort. The open back and side cut-outs do not affect movement at all — they are purely aesthetic. The open back means you will want to skip a traditional bra, and most customers use fashion tape or a low-back bra solution instead. The cut-outs at the sides of the waist are finished and stable and do not shift during wear. Bottom line: if you are comfortable in fitted clothing and are planning a prom, gala, or formal evening event rather than an athletic dance competition, this gown holds up all night without issue.
Photos of heavily sequined gowns can be deceptive in both directions — the sequins either wash out under flat lighting or overpower under flash, so it helps to know what to expect in person. In person, Faviana S10818 reads as deeply saturated and dimensional. The sequins are not a flat layer — they catch and reflect light at different angles as you move, which means the gown shifts between dark and luminous depending on where you are standing and what lighting is above you. Under warm ballroom or event lighting, both colorways look exceptionally rich. Under harsh or cool fluorescent light, they read a bit flatter, but the full-coverage beading still reads as premium. Navy Blue is the more versatile of the two options. It photographs cleanly in almost any setting, reads as classic and polished, and pairs easily with gold, silver, or pearl accessories. It also tends to read as slimming under most event lighting. If you are unsure, Navy Blue is the lower-risk choice. Hunter Green is bold and distinctive. It appears in the editorial image alongside Navy Blue, which gives you a direct comparison. Hunter Green photographs beautifully — it is rich and jewel-toned, and it tends to stand out in group photos because it is less common than navy or black at formal events. If you want to make a stronger visual statement and you suit cool or warm jewel tones, Hunter Green is worth considering seriously. Skin tone guidance: Navy Blue tends to complement a wide range of skin tones, including very fair and very deep complexions. Hunter Green works particularly well on warm, golden, and deep skin tones, and also on very fair skin. Medium neutral complexions can go either way. If you have seen one colorway in person at a store but are considering the other, know that the sequin weight and coverage are identical — only the color differs. The gown will behave the same way in terms of light reflection and movement in both versions. For photos specifically: both colors will look striking in professional prom or event photography. Hunter Green tends to pop more against light-colored backdrops; Navy Blue works with nearly everything.
Fully beaded gowns need a little more care than plain fabric dresses, but it is straightforward once you know the basics. Cleaning: dry cleaning is the safest option for a fully sequined gown. Do not machine wash or hand wash — the sequins are stitched onto the jersey, and agitation or soaking can loosen the beading over time. After wearing, spot-treat any small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let the area air dry before storing. For a full clean, bring it to a dry cleaner experienced with beaded or embellished garments and flag the open back and cut-out areas. Storage: hang the gown on a padded hanger inside a breathable garment bag. Avoid folding it for long-term storage — the sequins can leave impressions on the jersey base. Keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity, both of which can affect the sequin finish and the jersey lining over time. Travel: if you are bringing this gown to an event out of town, a garment bag that allows the dress to hang in a closet or lay flat in a large suitcase works best. Rolling is not ideal for sequined gowns. If you must fold it, fold as few times as possible along the natural seam lines and steam the gown gently on arrival — hold the steamer a few inches from the sequins rather than pressing directly against them.
Because this gown is fully beaded and has open sides and an open back, the styling principle is simple: let the dress lead and keep everything else minimal. Shoes: strappy heeled sandals in gold, silver, or a neutral tone are the most natural pairing. A pointed-toe pump in a tonal or metallic shade also works well. Avoid chunky block heels or platform sneakers — the sleek mermaid silhouette reads best with a lean heel. Heel height is up to you; the gown photographs well at any height since it grazes the floor. Jewelry: small drop earrings or simple studs are ideal. The V-neckline and open back are already strong focal points — a heavy necklace competes with both. If you want a necklace, a very fine delicate chain is the cleanest choice. Avoid statement necklaces entirely. Stack-free wrists are a clean look; a single thin bracelet or cuff is fine if you prefer a wrist accent. Bag: a small metallic clutch or a simple satin minaudière in a tonal shade keeps the look cohesive. Navy or green satin, or any neutral metallic, all work. Hair: an updo or swept-back style shows off the open back. This is worth considering if the back of the gown is a selling point for you — a half-up style or full updo lets it read clearly in photos.
The mermaid silhouette in Faviana S10818 is specifically designed to emphasize the waist, hips, and the length of the leg. Here is how it reads on different frames. Hourglass figures: this silhouette is designed around this shape and fits most naturally here. The fitted bodice through the hips hits the curves directly and the flare below the knee amplifies the hip-to-waist contrast. Pear-shaped figures: the fitted hip and thigh area can highlight a wider lower half. Sizing to the widest point and having the bodice taken in slightly by a tailor gives a more balanced look. The full-length sequin coverage draws the eye evenly rather than concentrating attention on any one area. Athletic or straighter figures: the mermaid cut creates the illusion of curves by emphasizing the hip and defining the waist. This works well on leaner frames where the jersey base molds to the body's natural shape. Petite figures: the long unbroken line of sequins from neckline to hem reads as lengthening. High heels amplify this effect. The gown does not shorten the silhouette. Taller figures: no concerns — the mermaid length and the unbroken beaded surface are well-proportioned on tall frames and the flare at the hem adds drama without overwhelming.
Marlas Fashions ships Faviana S10818 from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York. Standard delivery takes 7–12 business days from the date your order is confirmed. Rush options are available at checkout if you need the gown sooner — select the rush tier that matches your event date and we will prioritize accordingly. Shipping is available to the United States, Canada, and internationally. Canadian customers ship from our Toronto warehouse, which means no duties or import fees on Canadian orders. US domestic orders also ship duty-free. International orders ship with tracking included. Every order from Marlas Fashions ships with full tracking so you can follow your gown from warehouse to door. If your event date is within the standard window, we recommend placing your order as early as possible to leave time for any minor alterations — most tailors need at least a week for a mermaid-fit adjustment. Every S10818 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the S10818, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Call or text our Toronto boutique at 416-536-2956 and our stylists will help you find your perfect dress.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on unworn, unaltered gowns with original tags attached. If Faviana S10818 arrives and the fit is not right or you change your mind after trying it on at home, you have three options: store credit that never expires, a straight exchange for a different size or color, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. Store credit is often the most practical choice if you are still looking for the right gown — it never expires and can be applied to any product on the site. The exchange option works well if you simply need to go up or down a size in the same style. The refund option is there if you need it; the restocking fee reflects handling and inspection costs on a returned gown. To start a return or exchange, contact the Marlas Fashions team with your order number and they will walk you through the process. Trying the gown on at home before committing to alterations is always the right move — never alter a gown until you are certain about the fit and the style.
A few things separate Faviana S10818 from comparable fully beaded gowns in this category. First, the jersey base. Most fully sequined gowns are built on a rigid or structured mesh — Faviana uses a stretch jersey underneath, which means the gown moves with your body and has natural give at the hips. This is a practical advantage for wearing all evening. Second, the side cut-outs. These are structural openings at the waist, not a printed or faux detail. They add a modern element to what could otherwise be a straightforward column gown without breaking the beading pattern on the front or back. Third, the back design. The open back drops cleanly to the waist, which is a significant style feature — many beaded gowns in this category have minimal back interest. The combination of open back, side cut-outs, and full-coverage beading in one gown at this price point is genuinely unusual. Fourth, the colorway selection. Navy Blue and Hunter Green are both considered and specific — not generic black or red. They read as intentional and photograph distinctively. If you are comparing Faviana S10818 to another beaded mermaid gown, the questions to ask are: Does the other gown have a stretch base or a rigid one? Does it have back interest? Are the cut-outs structural or decorative? Those three factors will usually tell you which gown will look and feel better across a full evening.
