Frequently Asked Questions

How does the back closure work on Mac Duggal 23098, and is it adjustable?

Mac Duggal 23098 closes with a zipper at the back. The back is covered to the mid-back, so the closure is neat and fully enclosed — there is no open-back exposure. The zipper runs along the center back seam and is a standard dress zipper, not a corset lace-up. Because it is a fixed zipper rather than a lace-up or corset back, the dress does not have built-in size adjustability at the back. The fit depends on choosing the right size from the start. Mac Duggal offers 23098 in sizes 0–24, so the size range is broad enough that most customers will find a size that works. If you are between sizes, the common advice applies: size up and have a tailor take the dress in rather than sizing down and having no room to work with. The zipper back is easy for a tailor to work around — adjusting the side seams or taking in the waist area behind the ruched panel is standard alteration work.

What is the return policy, and can I try Mac Duggal 23098 at home before committing?

Yes — you can absolutely order Mac Duggal 23098, try it on at home, and return or exchange it if it does not work out. Marlas Fashions accepts returns for store credit, exchanges, or a refund less a 30% restocking fee. The store credit never expires, so if this particular style is not right for you, the credit stays on your account until you find the one that is. Here is how the try-at-home process works in practice: order the dress in your most likely size, and when it arrives, try it on with the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear. Pay attention to how the off-shoulder neckline sits, how the ruched waist feels, and how the tea-length hem falls relative to your ankle. If the fit is close but not perfect, a local tailor can often make small adjustments — the zipper back makes hem and waist work straightforward for an experienced seamstress. If the dress is not right at all — wrong size, wrong feel, not what you expected from the photos — contact us to initiate the return. We process returns cleanly and the credit or exchange is handled promptly. The 30% restocking fee applies to refunds back to the original payment method; store credit and exchanges do not carry the same penalty, so if you are comparing two styles, the exchange route is the most economical. One practical tip: if you are between sizes or ordering for a body type that does not follow standard size charts evenly, ordering the larger of the two sizes is generally the safer call. Taking in is easier and less expensive than letting out, and Mac Duggal 23098 has enough structure in the bodice and ruched waist that a skilled tailor can bring it in cleanly. The covered back with zipper closure also means the back of the dress is easy to alter without disturbing the beaded shoulder detail. If you want a second opinion on sizing before ordering, our team is glad to help you compare measurements.

How fast does Mac Duggal 23098 ship, and where does it ship from?

Mac Duggal 23098 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto location. Standard delivery takes 7–12 business days after your order is confirmed and the dress is pulled and inspected — every dress goes through a quality check before it leaves us, so it arrives ready to wear. If you have a firm event date, we strongly recommend ordering as early as possible. Rush shipping is available at checkout for customers who need the dress sooner than the standard window. Rush orders are prioritized in the fulfillment queue, and the upgraded shipping carrier moves faster once the package is in transit. Shipping is available worldwide. US and Canadian customers pay no import duties — the warehouses in LA, NY, and Toronto mean the dress ships domestically within North America, so there are no customs complications on either side of the border. International customers receive fully tracked shipments with estimated delivery windows at checkout. You can reach us by text at +1 416-536-2956 or on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131. We can confirm current stock, estimated ship date from your nearest warehouse, and whether rush fulfillment makes sense for your timeline.

Does Mac Duggal 23098 run true to size, and how should I measure for the best fit?

Mac Duggal 23098 generally runs true to standard US sizing. The dress is structured through the bodice with ruching at the waist, so the fit through the midsection is fairly snug and defined. For most customers, ordering your standard size works well. To get the best fit, measure your bust at the fullest point, your natural waist, and your hips at the widest point. Compare those measurements against Mac Duggal's size chart rather than going by the number alone — a size 10 in one designer can vary significantly from another. If your measurements fall between two sizes, size up. The ruched bodice and structured waist can be taken in by a tailor, but letting out a dress that is too small is more difficult. The off-shoulder neckline is also worth measuring for specifically: the neckline should rest comfortably on the upper arms without sliding down or feeling tight. If your shoulder width is broader than average, you may find the off-shoulder line sits better in the larger size. Mac Duggal 23098 is available in sizes 0–24, which means customers across a wide range of body types can find their correct size within the style. The tea-length hem is designed for a standard height of around 5'4" to 5'7" — if you are significantly taller or shorter, a hem alteration may be needed.

What occasions is Mac Duggal 23098 actually right for?

For weddings specifically, it works in two roles. As a mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom dress, the covered back, tea length, and elegant beaded shoulders hit the right notes — polished, celebratory, and not competing with the bride. For galas, dinners, and black-tie events, the dress stands on its own without needing to be part of a wedding context. Every 23098 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 23098, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise.

What undergarments work best with Mac Duggal 23098, and does it have built-in support?

Mac Duggal 23098 has a structured bodice with boning in the bust area that provides a degree of built-in support. For many customers, especially those wearing a smaller cup size, the built-in structure is enough on its own and no additional bra is needed. For customers who want more lift or support, a strapless adhesive bra or a low-back strapless bra works well with this style. The off-shoulder neckline and the covered back both limit bra strap visibility, so a traditional bra with straps would show at the back — stick with strapless or adhesive options. For shapewear, a high-waist brief or a mid-thigh shaper worn under the dress can smooth the silhouette further, especially since the ruched bodice already does structural work at the waist. Avoid anything with a waistband that sits above the ruched panel, as the waistband line can show through the fabric. The mesh and sequin surface of the skirt is relatively forgiving in terms of fabric lines, but lighter-colored shapewear that matches your skin tone is always the safer choice under a light-colored dress like Vintage Lilac.

How should I choose my size in Mac Duggal 23098, and what alterations are usual?

Mac Duggal 23098 follows the standard Mac Duggal size chart, and the listed run is 0-24. Measure your bust, waist and hips and order the size that matches your largest measurement — a tailor can take a dress in far more easily than let it out, and the beaded, mesh, sequin construction leaves only a modest seam allowance. If two of your measurements land in different sizes, size to the larger one and have the smaller area adjusted. The most common alterations are a hem for your heel height and a small take-in at the waist or side seams; both are routine for a formalwear seamstress and usually take one or two fittings. Bring the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear to the first fitting so the length and the bodice are pinned the way you will actually wear them. The dress is available in Vintagelilac, and every colour is cut to the same pattern, so the sizing advice is the same across the range. If you are unsure between two sizes, text or WhatsApp our concierge team at 416-536-2956 with your measurements and we will confirm before you order.
