Description
About the Dress: Ladivine CC501
The Ladivine CC501 is a short, ultra-fitted, fully beaded cocktail mini dress built to make an entrance. Every inch of the dress — from the V-neckline down to the hem — is covered in rhinestone chains and beading that form geometric and swirling patterns across the entire surface. Thin embellished spaghetti straps frame a plunging V-neck, and the back is completely open from the nape of the neck to below the waistline. This is a dress that leads with its embellishment at every angle.
Fit & Silhouette
The Ladivine CC501 cuts a sleek, body-hugging silhouette that contours through the bust, waist, and hips with no room to spare. It is a true fitted mini — short in length, with a hemline that falls well above the knee. The construction has no boning or structured lining, so the dress follows the body's natural shape. Customers between sizes typically size up for comfort through the hips. Because the back is fully open, there is nothing to adjust or lace — the fit relies entirely on the side seams and the snug, contoured cut.
Fabric & Detail
The base fabric is mesh — a sheer foundation visible at the bodice panels and throughout the skirt — fully covered by a dense layer of beading and rhinestone chain embellishment. The beading is not a surface accent; it covers 100% of the dress from top to bottom, qualifying the CC501 as fully beaded. The embellished spaghetti straps are part of the same beaded construction and carry the pattern seamlessly from the bodice upward. The Ladivine CC501 is available in silver-champagne beige, champagne beige, navy, and rose pink. The champagne beige colorway is written throughout as champagne beige — never as nude.
Key Features
- Fully beaded mesh construction — 100% embellished surface, bodice to hem
- V-neckline with thin embellished spaghetti straps
- Open back — entire back exposed from neck to below the waist
- Ultra-fitted, body-contouring mini silhouette
- Available in silver-champagne beige, champagne beige, navy, and rose pink
- No built-in boning or lacing
Style & Occasion
The Ladivine CC501 is designed for nights when the dress does all the talking. It works for homecoming, cocktail parties, semi-formal events, after-prom celebrations, New Year's Eve, and holiday parties. The fully beaded exterior catches every light source in the room, making it particularly strong for holiday and NYE events where a heavily embellished look is the point. Style it with a strappy heeled sandal in a matching metallic or a contrasting block color. Keep jewelry minimal — small earrings or a simple bracelet — because the beading already covers every surface. The open back makes a standard bra impossible; a low-back adhesive or built-in support is the practical choice here.

Frequently Asked Questions
The CC501 is a short, fully beaded, open-back mini dress with a bodycon cut. That combination puts it squarely in the party-dress category — high-impact, high-energy events where a bold, embellished look is expected and welcome.
Homecoming is one of the strongest fits. The fully beaded surface and ultra-fitted silhouette are exactly what homecoming dressing looks for, and the short length keeps it age-appropriate for the event. Semi-formal school events and after-prom celebrations fall in the same category.
Cocktail parties and holiday parties are another natural home for the CC501. The rhinestone chain beading catches light from every angle, which makes it particularly effective at events where there is dancing, low lighting, or a festive atmosphere. New Year's Eve is a direct hit — this is exactly the kind of dress that reads right for that night.
For occasions beyond that, the dress requires more careful thought. The open back — fully exposed from the neckline all the way below the waist — and the tight bodycon cut make this dress too revealing for wedding-guest events. Wedding-guest dressing generally calls for a more covered silhouette, so a style with less open back would usually be the better choice for that setting. We do not recommend it for that purpose.
It is also not the right choice for mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom roles, or for any occasion where a more covered or conservative silhouette is expected.
For prom, the CC501 works if the wearer is comfortable with a short dress. Many prom events accept short styles, but if the dress code or venue leans toward floor-length gowns, a long option would be a better fit.
Bottom line: this is a statement party dress. It is built for events where the goal is to stand out, where dancing and movement are part of the night, and where a fully embellished, open-back mini is exactly the right call.
The CC501 is cut as a true fitted mini, which means it is most forgiving on body types who feel confident in a snug, short silhouette. That said, the fully beaded surface works in a specific way that affects how different frames read the dress.
For hourglass and pear shapes, the body-contouring cut follows natural curves closely. The V-neckline draws the eye upward and inward, which lengthens the torso visually. The thin embellished straps keep the shoulder line clean and uncluttered rather than adding bulk at the top.
For straighter or more athletic frames, the fitted cut creates the illusion of curves because the beading adds visual texture and dimension across the entire surface. The swirling geometric patterns in the embellishment pull the eye around the body rather than straight down, which adds visual interest even where the silhouette itself is linear.
For petite customers, the short hemline works in your favor — it keeps proportions balanced and avoids overwhelming a smaller frame. You may want to have the hem left as-is or raised only slightly, since hemming a fully beaded dress is a specialized alteration that should be done by an experienced tailor.
For taller customers, the mini length reads proportionally and the full-length beading gives the dress enough visual weight to feel intentional rather than too short.
One practical note: because the back is entirely open with no lacing or adjustment, the fit depends fully on the side seams and the contoured cut. Customers who fall between sizes are consistently better off sizing up rather than down, particularly through the hips and seat. The dress should feel snug but not pulling — if it is straining at the hips when you put it on, size up. There is no give-back mechanism at the back to compensate.
The open back also means the dress shows a significant amount of skin from the nape of the neck all the way below the waistline. If that level of back exposure is something you want to tone down, this silhouette is not the right choice — the construction is fixed and cannot be altered to close the back.
Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. If you need the dress sooner, rush processing is available — contact us before placing your order so we can confirm what is in stock and what the fastest available timeline looks like for your event date.
We ship to the United States, Canada, and internationally. US and Canadian orders ship with no duties or hidden fees. International orders outside North America ship with full tracking. Regardless of your location, your order is trackable from the moment it leaves our warehouse.
If you have a specific event date, reach out to us before ordering so we can confirm that your timeline is achievable. Inventory levels and processing times vary, and we would rather confirm availability upfront than have you cut it close. We are reachable by text or WhatsApp and can give you a straight answer on timing.
If the Ladivine CC501 arrives and it is not the right fit, you have three options: store credit that never expires, a direct exchange for a different size or style, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee.
The store credit route is the most flexible — it does not expire, so you can use it on your next purchase at any point without pressure. The exchange route is straightforward if you know you want a different size and we have it in stock. The refund option is there if you decide the style is simply not for you, with the restocking fee factored in.
To start a return or exchange, contact our team with your order number and we will walk you through the next steps. Because the CC501 is a fully beaded dress, we ask that you handle it carefully when trying it on at home — avoid snagging the beading on jewelry or closures, and keep it away from rough surfaces. The dress should be returned in the same condition it arrived in, unworn and undamaged, with all original packaging intact.
If you are unsure about sizing before you order, we are happy to help you compare your measurements against the size chart before the purchase so you can reduce the chance of needing a return in the first place.
Most beaded cocktail dresses have embellishment concentrated in one area — the bodice, the neckline, or a decorative panel — with a plain or lightly embellished skirt. The CC501 is different because the beading covers the entire dress from the top of the neckline to the bottom hem with no breaks. Rhinestone chains form geometric and swirling patterns across 100% of the surface, so the skirt is just as embellished as the bodice.
The open back is another distinguishing detail. While open-back details are common, the CC501 exposes the entire back from the neckline down past the waist — not a keyhole, not a partial cutout, but the whole back bare. Combined with the V-neckline at the front, the dress creates a striking contrast between the fully embellished front and the completely open back.
The embellished spaghetti straps continue the beaded pattern rather than switching to a plain strap material, which keeps the overall design cohesive from every angle. Most dresses at this price point use a simpler strap material.
Finally, the fit is genuinely body-contouring rather than loosely draped. The ultra-fitted cut and mesh base layer mean the dress works with the body's shape rather than sitting away from it, which is what makes the embellishment read so strongly in motion.
The back of the CC501 is a fully open back — there is no lacing, no zipper, no corset closure, and no adjustment mechanism. The entire back is bare from the neckline down to below the waistline. The dress stays in place through the structure of the side seams and the snug, contoured fit of the fabric against the body.
Because there is nothing to tighten or loosen at the back, getting the right size at the point of purchase is especially important. If the dress is too loose through the torso, the fit will not improve — there is no closure to take it in. If it is too tight, there is also no way to let it out without a tailor who specializes in beaded garments.
Customers between sizes should size up. A dress that fits comfortably through the hips and seat will look better than one that is straining. The open back also means that standard bras are not compatible with this style. A low-back adhesive bra or reusable adhesive cups are the practical solution. Some customers with smaller busts wear the dress without any additional support.
Yes — the CC501 is well suited to group or court dressing, particularly for homecoming or semi-formal events. The dress is available in four colorways: silver-champagne beige, champagne beige, navy, and rose pink. A court can coordinate by choosing a single colorway for a uniform look, or by assigning different colorways to different roles within the group for contrast.
For a homecoming court specifically, the fully beaded construction means every member will read with equal visual impact under event lighting, which keeps the group cohesive in photos and on the floor. The silhouette is consistent across colorways, so coordinated group shots work cleanly.
If you are ordering for a group, reach out to us before placing individual orders so we can check that sufficient inventory is available in the colorways and sizes you need. Group orders sometimes benefit from coordinated fulfillment to ensure everything arrives together and on the same timeline. Text or WhatsApp us at +1 213-868-3131 or +1 416-536-2956 and we will work through the details with you.
The CC501 runs true to size in most cases, but the fully fitted, body-contouring cut means there is very little tolerance for error. Unlike a dress with ruching or stretch fabric that hides a half-size difference, a beaded mini with a fixed mesh base will show immediately if the fit is off.
Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the Ladivine size chart before ordering. If your measurements fall between two sizes, size up. The hips and seat are the most critical measurement points for this style because the dress is cut to contour through that area with no stretch or adjustment at the back.
Customers with a larger hip-to-waist ratio should pay particular attention to the hip measurement. Sizing up for the hips is almost always the right call, and a tailor can take in the waist if needed — that is a far simpler alteration than trying to let out a fully beaded dress through the hips.
If you are not sure which size to order after checking the size chart, contact us with your measurements and we will give you a direct recommendation based on what we know about how this style fits.
