Description
About the Dress: Ladivine CK918
The Ladivine CK918 is a long fitted hot-stone gown built around a jersey skirt and a structured boned sweetheart bodice. It comes in four photographed colorways — Champagne Gold, Emerald, Magenta, and Royal — and is cut in sizes 0 through 14. The silhouette is sleek and body-skimming from the strapless neckline all the way to the sweep train, with a high front slit that opens up every step.
Fit & Silhouette
The Ladivine CK918 fits close to the body from the bust through the waist and hips. The boned corset bodice gives the torso real structure and hold, so the fit stays secure even without straps. The skirt follows the body's contour and moves with a fluid, hot-stone drape. The high front slit starts at the upper thigh and gives the gown its movement and drama. At the hem, the skirt extends into a sweep train that trails slightly behind as you walk. This is a true fitted silhouette — every part of the dress works together to create a long, unbroken line. The jersey is finished with hot-stone crystals across the surface that catch the light with every step.
Fabric & Detail
The CK918 is made in a hot-stone jersey. The bodice is boned throughout to give shape and support without a strap. The high front slit and sweep train are the two structural details that define the gown's silhouette. There are no surface embellishments like beading or sequins; the fabric itself is the focal point.
Key Features
- Strapless sweetheart neckline with a clearly defined center notch
- Boned corset bodice for structure and all-night support
- Hot-stone jersey fabric throughout
- High front slit for movement and dramatic stride
- Sweep train at the hem
- Available in Champagne Gold, Emerald, Magenta, and Royal
- Sizes 0–14
Style & Occasion
The Ladivine CK918 works for prom, black-tie events, galas, formal evenings, pageants, New Year's Eve, and holiday events. In Champagne Gold it reads warm and luminous under event lighting. Emerald is a strong jewel tone that photographs well and stands out in a crowd. Magenta is bold and high-impact. Royal is a deep, saturated blue that pairs well with silver accessories. For shoes, a barely-there strappy heel keeps the full column silhouette intact. Minimalist jewelry — drop earrings or a simple ear cuff — lets the hot-stone fabric carry the look. Wear your hair up to keep the strapless neckline as the visual anchor. This gown moves well on a dance floor because the slit gives your stride full range of motion without fighting the fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Ladivine CK918 has a boned corset bodice, which means the structure comes from the boning channels built into the bodice itself rather than from straps pulling at your shoulders. What we can tell you with confidence is how the boning works in practice. The boned panels run vertically through the bodice and are designed to mold to your torso and stay in place without straps. Once the dress is on and closed, the boning does the structural work: it keeps the sweetheart neckline flat and level, holds the bodice from slipping, and prevents the fabric from creasing or gaping at the bust. For the best fit in a boned strapless gown, the bodice needs to sit snugly at the ribcage — tight enough that it does not shift when you raise your arms, but not so tight that it restricts breathing or creates visible compression above the chest. This is the band fit, similar to how you would fit a strapless bra. The cup area of the sweetheart should sit flush against your skin with no gaps or spillover. If you are between sizes, sizing down is generally the right call for a strapless boned gown because you need that ribcage grip. Sizing up often results in a bodice that lifts or gaps at the front even if the skirt fits. A skilled tailor can take in the side seams of the bodice if you sized up and the skirt fits. You can reach us by text at +1 416-536-2956 or on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 — we are happy to pull up the gown and walk through every detail with you before you place your order. A few practical notes to close on. The gown is offered in Champagne Gold, Emerald, Magenta and Royal, in sizes 0 to 14; measure your bust, natural waist and hips over the undergarments you plan to wear and compare them to the Ladivine chart rather than ordering your usual ready-to-wear size, because the back is fixed, so order to your largest measurement and have the side seams taken in. The hot-stone wants a wide padded hanger and a breathable garment bag between wears, and a professional clean rather than home washing.
The Ladivine CK918 is a long fitted hot-stone gown with a boned sweetheart bodice, a high front slit, and a sweep train. Here is a straightforward breakdown of the occasions it genuinely fits. Prom is the natural first occasion. The silhouette is dramatic without being overdressed, and the hot-stone fabric reads beautifully under venue lighting whether you are in Champagne Gold, Emerald, Magenta, or Royal. The gown has the visual impact prom calls for, and the high slit gives you full range of motion for a full night of dancing. Black-tie events and galas are a strong fit. A long fitted hot-stone gown with a train meets dress code without any ambiguity. In Champagne Gold or Royal it reads polished and curated for a formal table setting or reception. Formal evening events — award dinners, charity galas, opening nights — are exactly the context this gown is designed for. The sweep train and fitted column silhouette signal that level of occasion. Pageants are another genuine match. The gown has the structure, coverage, and presence that stage lighting and a pageant runway require. The hot-stone fabric photographs and films well under strong lighting. New Year's Eve and holiday events work well with this gown. The hot-stone jersey fabric is particularly suited to party lighting and festive settings. In Magenta or Champagne Gold it is especially effective for a holiday event. If you are not sure whether this gown fits the exact dress code for your event, bring the event details and we will help you decide. A few practical notes to close on. The gown is offered in Champagne Gold, Emerald, Magenta and Royal, in sizes 0 to 14; measure your bust, natural waist and hips over the undergarments you plan to wear and compare them to the Ladivine chart rather than ordering your usual ready-to-wear size, because the back is fixed, so order to your largest measurement and have the side seams taken in. The hot-stone wants a wide padded hanger and a breathable garment bag between wears, and a professional clean rather than home washing. On length, the gown is cut for a heel of roughly two to three inches; wearers under five foot four should budget for a hem, and taller wearers can usually wear it as it comes with a lower heel. Allow four to six weeks for delivery plus two weeks for alterations, and if your event is closer than that, text the Marlas team before ordering so they can confirm stock in your size and colour.
The CK918 runs true to Ladivine's standard sizing in most cases, but because it is a fitted boned gown, measurements matter more here than they do for a flowy or adjustable style. Ladivine uses a standard US size chart based on bust, waist, and hip measurements in inches. To measure correctly: use a soft tape measure and measure the fullest part of your bust, the narrowest part of your natural waist, and the fullest part of your hips. Wear the undergarments you plan to wear with the gown when you measure. Compare all three numbers to the size chart — do not size by one measurement alone. For a boned strapless gown, the bodice fit is the most critical number. The bodice needs to grip your ribcage securely, so if your measurements put you between sizes, sizing down one size in the bodice is usually the safer call. The skirt of the CK918 is fitted but has some give from the hot-stone fabric, so it is slightly more forgiving than a completely rigid column skirt. Sizes run 0–14 on this style. If you are outside this range or your measurements place you at the edge of the size run, contact us before ordering and we can advise on the best path forward, including whether a custom alteration allowance makes sense for your measurements.
The boned sweetheart bodice of the CK918 is designed to function as its own support system for most bust sizes. The boning channels run through the full height of the bodice and are structured to hold the sweetheart shape in place without straps. For a B or C cup, most wearers find the bodice alone is sufficient. For a D cup or larger, a strapless adhesive bra or a silicone breast enhancer placed inside the cup area of the bodice adds extra lift and security. Avoid a traditional strapless bra with a band if you can — the dual bands (dress bodice plus bra) can create compression and a visible line under the fitted hot-stone fabric. Because the skirt is fitted and the fabric is hot-stone jersey (which has a smooth, close surface), any undergarment line will show. Seamless underwear or a laser-cut thong is the right call under the skirt. Shapewear with a silicone grip band at the waist can also help the bodice stay anchored without adding bulk. Boy shorts or full-coverage briefs will create a visible panty line through this fabric, so plan accordingly. If you are wearing a shaper that extends above the waist, make sure the top edge sits completely below the waist seam of the bodice so it does not create a ridge under the fitted skirt.
Yes, the CK918 can be hemmed and tailored. The most common alteration requested on this style is a hem adjustment for height — if you are under 5'7" without heels, the sweep train may drag more than intended depending on the heel height you choose. For a hem, ask your tailor to measure while you are wearing your event shoes. The sweep train should just graze the floor at the back — if it is dragging heavily, a simple hem at the back is clean and does not affect the front slit. The front hem should sit where the slit falls naturally with your heel height. For the bodice, taking in the side seams is a standard alteration if the torso fit is slightly loose. A tailor should never alter the boning channels themselves — if the bodice is being taken in, the boning is removed, the seam is adjusted, and the boning is reinserted. Make sure your tailor has experience with boned bodices before you book the alteration. For the hot-stone jersey fabric specifically: this fabric can show stitch holes if a seam is let out after being sewn, so only take-in alterations (not let-out alterations) are safe on the skirt. This is why getting the right size to begin with matters — do not size up expecting a tailor to take in a lot of fabric.
The high front slit is the detail that makes this gown genuinely comfortable to wear for a full evening. Without it, a fitted column gown this length would restrict your stride to a shuffle. With the slit starting at the upper thigh, you get a full walking stride and easy movement on the dance floor. The sweep train is light enough that it moves with you rather than getting underfoot during dancing. The boned bodice does require a break-in period — for the first hour or so, it will feel firm and structured, which is intentional. Most wearers find it settles against the ribcage within the first hour and stops feeling constricting. The key is getting the bodice fit right before the event: if it is the correct size, it should feel secure but not tight. If it is leaving marks above the chest or restricting your breathing, it is too small. The hot-stone jersey skirt has a smooth drape and does not add bulk or resistance to movement. It moves fluidly, so there is no stiffness in the lower half of the gown fighting your legs. For footwear, a heel between 2.5 and 4 inches works well with the fitted silhouette and gives the gown the right proportion. A platform heel is fine if that is more comfortable for extended wear.
Hot-stone fabrics photograph differently from matte fabrics because they reflect the camera's light source. In photos, all four colorways tend to look slightly lighter and more uniform than they appear in person — in real life, the jersey shifts and catches different shades of the color depending on the angle of light. Champagne Gold is a warm, slightly golden hot-stone. In photos it can read almost silver-white; in person under warm event lighting it reads distinctly golden and warm. It is the most versatile of the four for skin tone compatibility. Emerald is a deep jewel-toned green. It is accurate in photos but richer and more saturated in person. It photographs very cleanly under both warm and cool lighting. Magenta is a strong, high-saturation pink-red. It can appear slightly more pink in photos and more fuchsia in person. It is bold in any setting. Royal is a deep saturated blue. In photos it reads clearly blue; in person it has more depth and dimension than a flat navy but is not a true royal blue under all lighting — under warm amber lighting it can shift slightly toward sapphire. If you are unsure between colorways or want to see fabric swatches or additional images, contact us before ordering. We can help match a color to your skin tone or coordinate with a group.
Hot-stone jersey is a delicate fabric that requires a little care but is not difficult to maintain with the right approach. For storage: hang the gown in a breathable garment bag. Do not fold or compress the hot-stone jersey fabric for long periods — creases can set in the hot-stone coating and are difficult to remove. If the gown arrives with light transit creases, hang it in a steamy bathroom for 15–20 minutes and let gravity and steam do the work. Do not iron directly on the hot-stone surface. For spot cleaning: use a barely damp white cloth and blot gently. Do not rub. For more significant cleaning, take the gown to a dry cleaner who has experience with hot-stone fabrics — mention that it is jersey and ask them to confirm before accepting the garment. For travel: roll a soft garment bag around the gown loosely and pack it in a carry-on or lay it flat on top of a suitcase rather than folding it under other clothing. The sweep train is the most likely area to crease because of its length — fold it as few times as possible and steam it on arrival. For the boned bodice: the boning is sewn in and does not need any special maintenance, but avoid storing the gown on a very narrow hanger that puts the full weight on the bodice side seams — a wide, padded hanger distributes the weight better over time.
