Description
About the Dress: Mac Duggal 5720
Mac Duggal 5720 is a floor-length beaded sequin gown covered in dense bead-and-sequin striping from the neckline to the hem. The surplice V-neckline, long blouson sleeves, and a contrasting beaded waistband give the gown a polished, put-together look. It is available in Vanilla Silver and Mauve. Our Toronto stylists fit this style weekly and can advise on sizing and alterations before you order.
Fit & Silhouette
Mac Duggal 5720 follows an A-line silhouette. The gown has a defined waist created by the contrasting beaded waistband, and the skirt flows gently outward from the waist to the floor without hugging the hips. The result is a shape that is flattering on a wide range of body types — it gives structure without being tight through the lower body. The fit through the bodice is close and follows the natural curves of the torso.
Fabric & Detail
The base of Mac Duggal 5720 is a mesh net foundation. The entire surface — bodice, sleeves, and skirt — is covered in tightly layered sequin and bead embellishment in a striped pattern. A distinct beaded waistband in a contrasting finish marks the natural waist and adds a strong focal point. The coverage is dense enough that virtually no base mesh is visible, giving the gown a fully embellished look from top to bottom.
Key Features
- Floor-length A-line silhouette
- Surplice V-neckline
- Long blouson sleeves with full beaded and sequin coverage
- Contrasting beaded waistband
- Dense bead-and-sequin striped embellishment across the entire gown
- Fully covered back — high-back construction with no exposure
- Available in Vanilla Silver and Mauve
Style & Occasion
Mac Duggal 5720 works for any event that calls for a fully embellished, floor-length gown. The long sleeves and completely covered back make it an excellent option for black-tie dinners, galas, formal prom nights, and evening weddings where a covered look is preferred. It is a strong choice for mothers of the bride or groom who want elegance without any back or shoulder exposure. The heavy sequin and bead coverage also makes it a natural fit for holiday parties and New Year's Eve celebrations. The gown is available in two colorways: the cooler, luminous Vanilla Silver and the warm, dusty Mauve — both photograph well under event lighting. Wear with strappy heels and minimal jewelry to let the embellishment lead. For weddings, a simple updo keeps the neckline visible and lets the gown carry the look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mac Duggal 5720 is a single-style gown, not part of a coordinated group collection, but there are a few practical ways to create a cohesive look for a court or damas group.
The most common approach is to order the same style in different colorways — the gown comes in both Vanilla Silver and Mauve, so a group could split between the two colors for a coordinated but varied look. For a quinceanera court or prom group, mixing the two colorways often photographs well.
If the goal is a fully matching set, we carry other Mac Duggal styles and can help you identify gowns with similar embellishment levels and silhouettes. Our team is familiar with the full Mac Duggal catalog and can suggest styles that work together. Reach out to us with your group size, event date, and any color or silhouette preferences and we will put together options for you.
For large group orders, ordering early is important — popular sizes sell through quickly, and having all gowns arrive at the same time makes fittings easier to coordinate. We recommend placing group orders at least eight to ten weeks before the event.
Mac Duggal 5720 is a fully embellished, floor-length gown with long sleeves and a completely covered back, which makes it one of the more versatile formal gowns in the Mac Duggal lineup. Here is a straightforward breakdown of where it works and where it does not.
It is an excellent prom gown for anyone who wants maximum sparkle without any exposed skin. The bead-and-sequin striping covers the dress from neck to hem, the sleeves are long and fully embellished, and the high back means no exposure at all. It reads formal and dressed-up without relying on cutouts or a low back.
For galas, black-tie dinners, and formal evening events, the gown fits the dress code naturally. The A-line silhouette and dense embellishment land it squarely in full-length formal territory. It is appropriate for seated dinners, award ceremonies, and charity events where a floor-length sequin gown is expected.
It is also a strong choice for mothers of the bride or groom. The combination of long sleeves, high back, and rich embellishment hits the right notes for a formal wedding celebration — it is polished and event-appropriate without looking like it is competing with the bridal party. The Mauve colorway in particular works well for spring and summer weddings; Vanilla Silver works year-round.
For wedding guests attending a formal or black-tie wedding, the gown's full coverage and relaxed hip line make it a comfortable, appropriate choice — a good option if you prefer a more understated silhouette over a body-contoured sequin style.
For holiday parties and New Year's Eve, the heavy sequin and bead coverage is exactly what those events call for. The full-length cut makes it feel more formal than a short sequin dress, which some customers prefer for evening holiday events.
The one area to think carefully about: if your event is cocktail dress code or the venue is casual-formal, this gown may be overdressed. It reads as a full black-tie gown, not a flexible cocktail piece.
Mac Duggal 5720 has a fully covered high back — the back photo confirms no skin exposure at all. The closure is built into the back construction of the gown and is not a lace-up or corset style. This means fit at the back is determined by the size you order rather than adjustable lacing.
Because the back is covered and structured, getting the right size through the bodice is important. Mac Duggal uses a standard size chart based on bust, waist, and hip measurements. If you are between sizes, most customers find it easier to size up and have a seamstress take in the bodice slightly than to size down and have no room to work with.
The contrasting beaded waistband defines the natural waist and adds shape without requiring the skirt to be tight. A tailor can adjust the waistband placement slightly if needed, though it is designed to sit at the natural waist. If you have questions about the fit for your specific measurements, reach out before ordering and we can help you choose the right size.
Mac Duggal 5720 ships from our Los Angeles and New York warehouses for customers in the United States, and from our Toronto warehouse for customers in Canada. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is placed. If you have an event coming up and need the gown sooner, rush shipping is available at checkout — select the option that matches your timeline and we will prioritize your order accordingly.
We ship worldwide, and every shipment is fully tracked so you can follow your package from the warehouse to your door. Customers in the United States and Canada pay no import duties — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. For international customers outside the US and Canada, duties may apply depending on your country, and our team can walk you through what to expect before you order.
If you are ordering for a specific event date, we recommend placing your order as early as possible to leave room for any alterations after the gown arrives. Mac Duggal gowns are cut to standard size chart measurements, and even a perfect size often benefits from minor hemming or a small adjustment at the waist. Building in two to three weeks after delivery gives a seamstress enough time to do clean, careful work without rushing. Every 5720 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 5720, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the 5720 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the 5720 in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs. Every 5720 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 5720, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise.
Mac Duggal 5720 follows the standard Mac Duggal size chart, which is based on three measurements: bust, natural waist, and fullest part of the hips. Take each measurement while wearing the undergarments you plan to wear with the gown, and measure snugly but not tight.
Mac Duggal gowns generally run true to size, but the A-line skirt and beaded waistband mean the waist measurement is the most important one to get right. If your measurements fall between two sizes, size up — the A-line skirt has no stretch, and it is much easier for a seamstress to take in a waist than to let one out in a fully beaded gown.
For tall customers, the gown may need hemming. For petite customers, hemming is almost always necessary with a floor-length beaded gown. Budget for this when you order, and factor in the time needed for alterations when choosing your shipping option.
If you want help matching your measurements to the right size, text or WhatsApp our concierge at +1 416-536-2956 or +1 213-868-3131 — we are happy to walk through the size chart with you before you place your order.
Mac Duggal 5720 has a surplice V-neckline, long sleeves, and a fully covered high back, which makes undergarment choices more straightforward than with open-back or low-cut styles.
Because the sleeves are long and fitted, a strapless or convertible bra is not the right choice here — the sleeves cover the shoulder completely, so there is no strap visibility issue to manage. A seamless, low-cut underwire bra that sits well below the V-neckline works for most customers. The gown does not have a built-in bra, so choose something with good support for a long event.
The A-line skirt flows from the waist without clinging through the hips, which means smoothing shapewear is optional. If you prefer it for comfort, a high-waist brief or light shaper under the waistband works well without adding bulk. Avoid shapewear that extends above the waistband, as it could create a visible ridge under the beaded band.
For footwear, strappy heels or simple pointed-toe heels work best. The gown is floor length, so heels will affect where the hem falls — factor in your heel height when deciding whether to hem the gown.
If Mac Duggal 5720 arrives and is not the right fit or the right dress for you, here is how the return and exchange process works.
Returns are accepted for store credit that never expires, a direct exchange for a different size or style, or a refund with a 30% restocking fee deducted from the original purchase price. To be eligible, the gown must be returned in its original condition — unworn, unaltered, with tags attached.
We recommend trying the gown on as soon as it arrives, before booking any alterations. Alterations make a gown ineligible for return or exchange, so confirm the fit and the color before taking it to a seamstress. If you are unsure between two sizes, ordering the larger size and planning for alterations is the standard advice — but try it on first.
If you receive the gown and have any concerns about the condition or quality, contact us immediately. Every dress we ship is inspected before it leaves the warehouse, and we will work with you quickly to resolve any issue. For questions about starting a return or exchange, reach out through the contact information on our website or message our team directly.
Mac Duggal 5720 can be altered, but fully beaded gowns require a seamstress who has experience working with embellished fabrics. Not every tailor is comfortable working around dense bead-and-sequin coverage, so ask specifically about their experience with beaded gowns before booking.
The most common alteration is hemming. Because the gown is floor-length and the beading runs all the way to the hem, the standard approach is to hem from the waist rather than cutting the bottom of the skirt. Cutting a beaded hem can cause beads to loosen or unravel, and it is difficult to re-finish cleanly. A seamstress experienced with beaded gowns will know this automatically, but it is worth confirming upfront.
Waist and bodice adjustments are also doable. The contrasting beaded waistband can be repositioned slightly, and the bodice can be taken in or let out within a reasonable range. Taking in is easier than letting out — if you are between sizes, sizing up and taking in is the cleaner alteration path.
Plan for at least two fittings, and schedule your first fitting two to three weeks before the event so there is time for any follow-up adjustments. Build the cost of alterations into your overall budget when you order.
