Description
About the Dress: Ladivine CD641
Ladivine CD641 is a long fitted mermaid gown built for maximum drama. The bodice is heavily beaded with crystals and rhinestones, structured with visible boning channels, and finished with a sweetheart neckline. Off-shoulder puff sleeves in matching metallic fabric frame the shoulders, and the full back opens into a lace-up corset closure that lets you dial in the fit. A draped overskirt panel sits at the hip, and the skirt flows into a trumpet flare with a substantial sweep train. Available in gold and navy.
Fit & Silhouette
CD641 is cut to contour through the bust, waist, and hips before flaring into a mermaid trumpet at the knee. The boned corset bodice gives strong structure at the top, and the lace-up back means you can adjust the fit after the dress arrives. Because the skirt is very fitted through the hips, we recommend sizing up if you are between sizes — the boning and lacing will hold everything in place at the top while you keep the hip room you need. The sweep train adds length, so plan on a small hem for anyone under 5'6".
Fabric & Detail
The gown is made from a textured metallic brocade fabric that catches light from every angle. Crystal and rhinestone beading covers the corset bodice in a dense pattern, adding serious weight and sparkle to the top half. The off-shoulder sleeves are cut from the same metallic fabric. The draped overskirt at the hip transitions the bodice into the fitted skirt. The back is fully open above the waist, held together only by the lace-up corset lacing — approximately 90% of the back is exposed, so plan your undergarment choices accordingly.

Style & Occasion
Ladivine CD641 is built for events where you want to walk in and own the room. It is a natural fit for prom, formal galas, pageants, and evening affairs where a big gown is expected and encouraged. The metallic gold colorway photographs brilliantly under ballroom lighting, and the navy reads rich and dramatic for evening events. Style it with minimal jewelry — the beaded bodice does the heavy lifting. A simple strappy heel in gold or silver keeps the focus on the gown. The sweep train works best on a dance floor or on stage, so leave a little extra room when you move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on Ladivine CD641 and offers three options: a full store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different size or style, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The store credit option is the most popular because it gives you the full value back with no deduction, and you can use it any time — there is no expiry date and no minimum spend.
To start a return, contact the Marlas team within the return window after your dress arrives. The dress must be unworn, unaltered, and in original condition with all tags attached. A gown that has been hemmed or altered cannot be returned, which is why we always recommend trying the dress on and confirming the fit before you take it to a tailor.
This is one reason customers like ordering from Marlas specifically: you can try the dress at home, hold it up, zip it, check the lace-up back, and make sure the beaded bodice sits right on your frame before committing to any alterations. If something is off — size, color, silhouette — you have options.
For CD641 specifically, keep a few things in mind. The lace-up corset back gives you a wide range of adjustment at the bodice, so a dress that feels slightly snug when you first put it on can often be let out by loosening the lacing. Try it fully laced before deciding it does not fit. The hips and skirt are the areas where fit is hardest to correct — if the skirt is too tight through the hips, an exchange for the next size up is usually the cleanest solution.
If you are unsure about sizing before you order and want a personal recommendation, the Marlas team is easy to reach. Text or WhatsApp us at +1 416-536-2956 or +1 213-868-3131 and someone will help you pick the right size based on your measurements.
Returns are straightforward as long as the dress is untouched — try it first, tailor it second.
Ladivine CD641 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with a Canadian fulfillment location in Toronto for Canadian customers. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. If your event is coming up fast, rush shipping is available at checkout — select the rush option and the team will prioritize your order and move it to the front of the queue.
Orders to US addresses ship with no duties or import fees. Canadian customers also pay no duties — your order ships from Toronto, so it clears customs smoothly. International customers outside North America receive fully tracked shipping worldwide, and Marlas will confirm the estimated delivery window by email after your order is placed.
A few things worth knowing before you order: Ladivine CD641 is a special-occasion gown ordered from the designer, not a piece sitting on a warehouse shelf waiting to go. Production and quality-inspection time is built into that 7-to-12-day window. Every dress that leaves the warehouse has been physically inspected by the Marlas team — we are an authorized Ladivine retailer with over 40 years in the business, and we do not ship a dress we have not checked.
If you have a firm date — a prom, a gala, a pageant — tell us when you order. The team can advise whether standard shipping gets the dress to you with enough lead time for alterations, or whether rush is the smarter move. For anything time-sensitive, reach out before you place your order rather than after, so we can give you an honest answer on timing.
Bottom line: order as early as you can. A gown with a boned corset bodice and a sweep train almost always needs at least one fitting visit to a tailor, and you want that time built into your schedule before the event — not the week of.
The combination of features on CD641 is not common at this price point. Most beaded gowns at this level have a beaded bodice over a plain skirt — CD641 goes further with a fully structured boned corset bodice, a lace-up open back that functions like a custom fit system, off-shoulder puff sleeves in matching metallic fabric, a draped overskirt at the hip, and a sweep train that adds real presence on stage or on a dance floor. Each of those elements on its own is a design detail; stacked together they make a gown that reads significantly more expensive than its tag.
The metallic brocade fabric is another point of difference. It is a woven textured fabric, not a plain satin with some shimmer sprayed on. Under ballroom or stage lighting it catches and throws light in multiple directions, which is exactly what you want for prom or a pageant walk. The crystal and rhinestone beading on the bodice adds a second layer of light-catching detail on top of the fabric itself.
The lace-up back is also a practical advantage. Many gowns with a corset aesthetic are actually zip-up dresses with decorative lacing stitched over the top. CD641 is a functional lace-up — you can genuinely tighten or loosen it, which means the dress adjusts to your body rather than forcing you to find a perfect size match off the rack.
Short version: it looks like a custom gown, it fits like one, and it photographs like one.
The back of Ladivine CD641 is a true functional lace-up corset closure over a fully open back. There are no hooks, no zipper, and no hidden fastening — the lacing is the only closure holding the bodice in place. That gives you a meaningful range of adjustment: roughly one to two full dress sizes up or down from the size you order, depending on how tightly or loosely you lace it.
To put the dress on, loosen the lacing completely, step into the gown, and have someone pull the lacing snug from the top down before tying it off. The boning channels in the bodice hold the structure regardless of how the lacing is set, so the dress does not collapse when you loosen it.
Because the back is fully open — approximately 90% of the back is exposed above the waist — traditional bra straps will not work with this gown. Plan on adhesive cups or a body-tape solution for support. The boned corset bodice provides significant built-in support on its own; many wearers find they do not need additional undergarments once the lacing is tightened properly.
One practical note: if you are ordering with a friend or wearing this as part of a group, practice the lacing process once before your event so you are not figuring it out in a dressing room under pressure. It is simple once you have done it, but the first attempt takes a few minutes.
Ladivine CD641 is currently available in two colorways: gold and navy. Both are photographed and confirmed. For a prom court, a gala group, or a pageant appearance, two color options gives you some flexibility — a group could coordinate all in gold, all in navy, or mix the two for a high-contrast look.
If you are coordinating a damas group for a quinceañera, note that this particular gown is styled as a formal evening or pageant piece rather than a traditional damas gown. It can absolutely work for that role depending on the overall look of the event, but it is worth comparing against purpose-built damas styles before committing the full group.
For prom courts or gala groups, the metallic fabric in both colorways photographs consistently across the group — you will not get different readings of the same color from dress to dress, which is a common problem with chiffon or lighter fabrics. Gold photographs warm and luminous; navy photographs rich and deep.
If your group is ordering multiple units, contact Marlas before placing individual orders. The team can check stock levels across sizes and colorways and help you coordinate the order to make sure everyone gets their dress in time. Reach out early — the more units involved, the more lead time you want in the schedule.
Ladivine CD641 runs true to size in the bodice and slightly fitted through the hips. The lace-up back gives you a full range of adjustment at the waist and bust, so if you are between sizes, that adjustment covers most of the gap at the top. The area to pay attention to is the hip and the lower fitted skirt — that section is cut to follow your body with very little ease, and it cannot be adjusted by the lacing.
Measure your hips and compare to the Ladivine size chart before ordering. If your hip measurement falls between sizes, go up. The boned lace-up bodice will accommodate the extra room at the top, and taking in the bodice slightly is a straightforward alteration if needed. Taking out the hip seam on a fitted mermaid skirt is a much harder fix.
For height: the sweep train is cut for someone around 5'7" to 5'9" in heels. If you are shorter, plan on hemming. If you are taller, the train may be shorter than you expect — check the floor-length measurement on the size chart against your height with heels.
The boning in the bodice is substantial and holds the structure firmly. It may feel stiff when you first try the dress on. It breaks in slightly with wear but is designed to stay structured throughout the night — that is the point of the construction.
Ladivine CD641 is designed for events where a full formal gown is not just acceptable but expected. Prom is the clearest fit — the gown has the scale, the beading, and the dramatic sweep train that make it a standout in a prom ballroom. Pageants are another strong match; the fully beaded corset bodice, open back, and train meet the over-the-top embellishment standard that pageant judging rewards.
Beyond prom and pageant, CD641 works well for formal galas, black-tie evening events, and upscale charity or awards functions where guests are expected to dress formally. The metallic gold colorway in particular photographs well under event lighting and works for stage or ballroom settings.
As a wedding guest, this dress works best for evening or black-tie receptions where dramatic formal gowns are welcome. The full open back and dramatic styling make it best suited to evening receptions and black-tie celebrations, where bold formalwear is fully at home. It is also not a bridesmaid option for the same reason.
If your event calls for something show-stopping — a walk across a stage, a spotlight moment, a prom entrance — CD641 is built for exactly that scenario.
Because the back of CD641 is fully open above the waist, standard bras and most traditional strapless options will be visible. The best solutions are adhesive stick-on cups, silicone bra cups, or fashion tape applied directly to the skin. These give you a clean line under the sweetheart neckline without anything showing at the back.
The boned corset bodice is genuinely supportive on its own. Once the lacing is tightened correctly, the structure holds the bodice firmly against your chest without additional support for most bust sizes. Many wearers find the built-in boning is enough, especially for smaller to medium bust sizes. Larger bust sizes may want to supplement with adhesive cups for extra security during dancing or extended wear.
Avoid shapewear with visible waistbands or back panels — they will show through the open back. If you want smoothing through the hips, look for low-back or backless shapewear designed specifically for open-back gowns. These are widely available and designed to sit below the exposed area.
