Description
About the Dress: Faviana S10826
Faviana S10826 is a long fitted gown built around a deep v-neckline, a high thigh slit, and a fully open crisscross lace-up back. The dress is cut close to the body from the bust all the way through the hips — no flare, no volume, just a clean straight line that shows the silhouette. The back is the standout feature: crossing straps form a lace-up construction over a completely bare back, creating a look that is bold from every angle.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana S10826 fits close through the bust, waist, and hips in a true fitted silhouette. The stretch jersey moves with the body rather than against it, so the fit feels secure without being restrictive. The high slit begins at mid-thigh and allows full stride. This is not a fitted — there is no flare below the knee. The crisscross back lace-up lets you fine-tune the fit across the back and rib cage, which is useful if you fall between sizes. The gown photographs best when the back is snug, so adjust the lacing before your event.
Fabric & Detail
The fabric is a smooth stretch jersey with a soft sheen — it drapes cleanly and holds its shape through a long evening. There are no sequins, beads, or embellishments on the gown. The only surface detail is a vertical gather running down the center-back skirt panel, which adds a subtle visual line without adding bulk. The simplicity of the fabric is intentional: S10826 is designed to let the silhouette do the work.
Key Features
- Deep v-neckline with shoulder straps
- Fully exposed open back with crisscross lace-up construction
- High thigh slit
- Smooth stretch jersey fabric with a soft sheen
- Vertical center-back gather detail
- Fitted through bust, waist, and hips
- Available in Black, Hot Pink, Sea Blue, and Dark Emerald Green
Style & Occasion
Faviana S10826 is a strong choice for prom when you want something fitted and minimal rather than ballgown or heavily embellished. The clean lines and open back work well for formal dances and evening events where the dress is meant to be noticed without layering on extra decoration. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewelry — a simple chain or small earrings let the back speak for itself. A sleek updo is the natural hair choice so the crisscross back is fully visible. The four colorways give you real options: Black is the most versatile and photographs well in any lighting; Hot Pink and Sea Blue are vivid in person and read even brighter than they do on screen; Dark Emerald Green photographs darker than it appears live and has a richer, deeper tone at the event. Marlas Fashions is an authorized Faviana retailer with over 40 years in formal wear, and every dress is inspected before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Faviana S10826 is a long gown designed for someone roughly 5'7" to 5'9" in heels, which is standard for floor-length runway-cut formal gowns. If you are shorter, the hem will need to be taken up — and because this dress has a high thigh slit, hemming it correctly takes a bit of planning.
The most important thing to communicate to your seamstress is the slit. When a floor-length gown with a slit is hemmed, the slit proportion changes relative to the new length. If 6 inches comes off the hem, the slit effectively starts 6 inches higher than the designer intended. Before the seamstress cuts anything, put the dress on with the heels you plan to wear and mark both the hem length and where the slit opening currently sits. That way your seamstress can assess whether the slit height still looks intentional at the new length, or whether the slit seam needs to be partially re-sewn downward before the hem is adjusted.
For the fit through the body, the stretch jersey fabric is forgiving but it is also thin, so alterations need to be done by someone experienced with knit and stretch fabrics. Taking in the side seams is straightforward. Taking in through the waist alone without touching the bust or hip seams is harder on a fitted knit gown — make sure your seamstress pins and checks the whole length before sewing.
The crisscross lace-up back adjusts at wearing time and handles about a one-size range of variation without any tailoring at all. If you are between sizes, order your larger measurement and use the lacing to bring the back in. This is usually the better approach than ordering the smaller size and hoping the jersey stretches enough across the back.
For the v-neckline, the drape sits correctly when the dress is the right length and the straps are at the correct tension. If the v is gaping after hemming, your seamstress may need to take a small tuck at the strap-to-bodice junction rather than adjusting the neckline seam itself.
Plan to have the dress in hand at least three weeks before your event so you have time for a fitting, alterations, and a follow-up check.
Faviana S10826 is built for prom and formal evening events where a fitted, minimal, bold-back gown fits the dress code and the atmosphere. It reads best in settings where guests are expected to dress up significantly — a prom, a formal dance, or a high-energy evening event with a sophisticated crowd.
The dress works well for prom specifically because the silhouette is clean and modern, the colors are vivid, and the open crisscross back gives it a distinctive look that photographs well in group shots and on the dance floor. It does not compete with heavily embellished ballgowns — it takes a completely different direction — so if you want to stand out through simplicity and body-conscious tailoring rather than sparkle and volume, this is the right call.
There are events where S10826 is not a good fit. As a wedding guest, this dress suits relaxed evening receptions best; for more traditional ceremonies where a covered back is expected, a layered wrap or shawl pairs well with the open-back silhouette. For events with stricter dress codes — such as military balls or mother-of-the-bride roles — a style with more back coverage is usually the more practical choice.
It is also not the right dress for events where you will be standing or sitting in formal settings for extended periods without movement — the fitted jersey and open back work best when you are active and the energy is high. For a gala where you are seated through a long dinner, a more structured gown with a covered back would be more comfortable.
If you are comparing this to a different gown for the same event, the key questions are: Does the event allow a fully open back? Is the dress code explicitly formal, or is it black-tie conservative? And do you want to lead with the back as your statement, or do you want embellishment and volume to carry the look? S10826 answers yes to the first, works for the second in the right context, and firmly answers the third with the back.
Marlas Fashions ships from Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto warehouses, with delivery in 7–12 business days and rush options available if your event is coming up quickly.
All four colorways — Black, Hot Pink, Sea Blue, and Dark Emerald Green — are photographed on the product page, so you can see each one directly rather than relying on swatches. Hot Pink and Sea Blue are both vivid and saturated in person, and they photograph a shade lighter than they actually appear. Expect both to read slightly brighter and richer at your event than on your screen. Sea Blue has a cool, clear tone with no green or grey in it — it sits closer to a true cerulean. Hot Pink is a strong, saturated fuchsia-adjacent pink, not a pastel or blush. Dark Emerald Green photographs darker than it looks in person and has a deep, jewel-toned quality. Under warm event lighting it will look even richer. Under cooler or whiter lighting it holds its green depth well. This is one of the more distinctive color choices if you want to avoid the most common prom shades. Black is the most consistent across lighting conditions and photographs reliably in every environment. It is the easiest choice if you want the silhouette and the back to be the statement without color adding a variable. For skin tone, all four read as high-contrast colors — they work best when there is a clear difference between the color of the fabric and your complexion.
Stretch jersey is one of the easier formal fabrics to care for compared to heavily beaded gowns or structured tulle ballgowns, but the open back and lace-up construction need some attention.
For cleaning after the event, professional dry cleaning is the safest option. If the dress picks up light surface dirt or a small stain, a damp cloth with mild soap works on jersey without leaving a watermark, but treat the area gently and let it air dry flat. Do not put it in a washing machine — the lace-up straps and the v-neckline can distort under agitation, and the jersey may lose its shape.
For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger rather than a wire one. Wire hangers can leave pressure marks on the strap-to-shoulder seam over time. Keep it in a garment bag away from direct light to prevent color fading, especially for the more saturated colorways.
For travel, the best approach is to fold the dress inside out around acid-free tissue paper and pack it flat in your carry-on or checked bag rather than rolling it. Jersey resists wrinkling reasonably well, but if creases appear from folding, a handheld steamer on low heat removes them quickly. Do not iron directly — use a pressing cloth or a steamer only.
Bring the dress in its garment bag to the venue and hang it on arrival so any travel wrinkles can fall out naturally before you put it on.
The open back and clean lines of S10826 set the styling direction clearly: keep everything minimal. The dress does the work — accessories should support it without competing.
For shoes, strappy heeled sandals are the strongest pairing. A thin-strap stiletto sandal in a neutral tone or in a matching colorway lets the leg line run uninterrupted from the slit. Block-heeled sandals work if you are dancing all night and want more support. Platform heels can work but shorten the visual line slightly — test the overall proportion before committing. Avoid closed-toe heels or ankle boots, which look out of place against a fitted open-back gown.
For jewelry, less is the right answer. The open back and the v-neckline create two focal points, so adding a statement necklace competes with both. Small stud earrings or simple drop earrings in gold or silver work well. If you want a bracelet or cuff, one simple piece on one wrist is enough. Skip the layered necklaces.
For hair, an updo is the obvious choice because it fully reveals the crisscross back. A sleek high ponytail or a low bun both work. If you prefer hair down, keep in mind that it will cover most of the back construction in photos — which is fine, but you will lose the visual impact of the feature that makes this dress distinctive.
For bags, a small clutch in a neutral or matching tone is the right scale. Oversized bags look proportionally off against a fitted floor-length gown.
Faviana S10826 is designed as a body-conscious fitted gown, which means it works best when the fit is exact. The stretch jersey adapts to curves rather than flattening them, so the dress reads differently depending on your proportions — and that is worth thinking about before ordering. For hourglass proportions, the fitted cut follows the natural waist-to-hip ratio closely and the jersey stretch accommodates the difference between waist and hip measurements better than a woven fabric would. The high slit and v-neckline extend the visual line vertically, which lengthens the silhouette. For straighter or athletic builds, the close fit and the contrast of the v-neckline and the slit create definition where the body's natural curves are less pronounced. The dress does not require a dramatic hip-to-waist ratio to look intentional — the back construction and the slit carry the visual interest. For fuller figures, the most important consideration is the fit across the back and through the ribs. The crisscross lace-up adjusts the back fit at wearing time, which helps. Order based on your fullest measurement rather than trying to size down, and the jersey will conform to your shape without pulling. The ruching on the center-back panel adds a vertical line that narrows the visual width of the back. The dress is not recommended if you want a silhouette that creates shape through structure or volume.
Marlas Fashions ships Faviana S10826 from warehouses in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. Standard delivery is 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is confirmed. Rush shipping is available at checkout if your event is sooner — select your event date during checkout and the system will show you the fastest available options.
US orders ship from the LA or NY warehouse with no duties or additional fees. Canadian orders ship from the Toronto warehouse with no duties charged at the border. International orders ship from the US warehouses with full tracking provided throughout the journey.
All shipments include a tracking number sent to your email once the order is fulfilled. You can use that to follow the package from the warehouse to your door. If your tracking shows a delay or the package is not moving, contact the team directly — details are on the order confirmation email.
If you are ordering close to your event date, use the rush option rather than hoping standard shipping arrives in time. Rush orders are prioritized in fulfillment and shipped on the fastest available carrier for your region. For urgent orders or questions about timing, our team can confirm availability and estimated delivery before you place your order. Text us at +1 416-536-2956 or reach us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 — we are happy to check stock and shipping timelines for you before you commit.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on Faviana S10826. If the dress arrives and the fit is not right, you have three options: a store credit that never expires, an even exchange for a different size or color, or a refund with a 30% restocking fee deducted from the original purchase price. Store credit is the most flexible option if you are unsure what you want to switch to — it stays on your account indefinitely and can be applied to any future order, not just another Faviana style. For exchanges, contact the team as soon as the dress arrives and you have tried it on. The sooner you initiate an exchange, the better the chance that your preferred size and color is still in stock. Availability can move quickly around prom season. The restocking fee on refunds exists to cover the cost of receiving, inspecting, and reprocessing a returned dress. It is applied only to the refund path, not to store credit or exchanges. If you are on the fence about the fit or the color, store credit or exchange is the lower-cost route. All returns must be in original condition — unworn, unaltered, with tags attached. A dress that has been hemmed or altered cannot be returned. This is another reason to hold off on tailoring until you have confirmed the fit, colorway, and overall look in person.
