Portia and Scarlett PS26006 Strapless Fully Beaded Fitted Gown with High Slit with Sweep Train

Portia and Scarlett PS26006 ships from Marlas Fashions warehouses located in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto location. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is placed and confirmed. If your event date is coming up quickly, rush shipping is available — reach out to the team before placing your order so they can confirm the fastest option for your destination. Shipping is fully tracked for every order, so you will receive tracking information and can follow your gown from the warehouse to your door. Marlas Fashions ships to customers across the United States and Canada with no duties charged on cross-border orders within those two countries. International shipping is also available, and every international order ships with full tracking as well. Because PS26006 is a fully beaded, heavily embellished gown, it is packed with care to protect the pearl and bugle bead surface during transit. If you are ordering for a specific event date, we always recommend ordering as early as possible — 4 to 6 weeks ahead is a reasonable buffer for any formal gown so that you have time for alterations after the gown arrives. Alterations on a fully-beaded dress can take longer than a standard gown, so building that time into your schedule is worth it. If you need a faster estimate specific to your city or country, or if you want to confirm whether rush processing is available for your order date, contact the Marlas Fashions team directly before purchasing. They can check current fulfillment timelines and give you an honest answer about what is realistic for your event. Marlas Fashions has been an authorized retailer for over 40 years, and every gown — including PS26006 — is inspected before it ships. Every Portia and Scarlett PS26006 that leaves our warehouse is inspected by hand before shipping, so the beadwork, seams, and closures arrive exactly as the designer intended.

Yes — Marlas Fashions does accept returns on PS26006, and the policy is designed so you can try the gown on at home once it arrives. If the dress does not work for you, you have three options: store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different size or style, or a refund with a 30% restocking fee deducted. The store credit option is the cleanest if you are not sure yet what you want next, because it holds its full value indefinitely and can be applied to any future purchase. To be eligible for a return, the gown must be in the condition it arrived in — unworn outside the home, tags attached, no alterations made. Because PS26006 is a fully beaded gown with a pearl and bugle bead surface, be careful when trying it on to avoid snagging or pulling the embellishment. Try it on a clean surface away from sharp edges. If the fit is close but not quite right — for example, if the bodice is slightly loose or the hem needs to come up for your height — alterations on a beaded gown are very doable with an experienced seamstress. Just make sure you have the alterations done after you have confirmed you are keeping the dress, since altered gowns cannot be returned. If you are deciding between PS26006 and another style and want to talk through the fit before ordering, the Marlas Fashions team is available to help. You can text or WhatsApp before placing your order to ask about sizing, fit expectations, or current stock. The return window and specific terms will be confirmed at checkout, and the team can clarify any details if you have questions about a specific situation. If you are between sizes on the Portia and Scarlett PS26006, our team can talk you through the size chart against your own measurements before you order.

Most beaded prom gowns have embellishment concentrated at the bodice or scattered across the skirt in a pattern — PS26006 is beaded from the neckline to the hem with no gaps and no unembellished sections. Pearl studs and bugle beads cover the entire mesh base, which means the gown reflects light consistently across the full length of the dress rather than just at the top. The second thing that separates it is the combination of the high front slit and the fully open back together on a fitted silhouette. That pairing is less common — you usually get one or the other. Here, both are present, and neither one looks accidental. The design is deliberate: the slit allows movement, the open back creates a dramatic reveal from behind, and the fitted cut keeps the overall look structured and intentional rather than just revealing. The sweep train adds just enough length to feel formal and stage-ready without requiring dramatic management when walking. It finishes the look cleanly. The strapless scoop neckline keeps the front simple so all attention stays on the beadwork and the silhouette. PS26006 is a gown designed to look like it belongs on a stage — whether that stage is a prom entrance, a pageant runway, or a gala ballroom.

The back of Portia and Scarlett PS26006 is fully open — the entire upper back is bare with no fabric coverage behind. This is a design feature, not a closure. The gown is structured at the bodice to hold its shape through boning and the construction of the mesh and beading, so it supports the wearer without relying on a back closure for structure. Because the back is open rather than laced or zipped, adjustability at the back is limited. Fit changes need to happen at the sides or the bodice structure itself, which is work for an experienced seamstress or a tailor who has worked with beaded gowns. Taking in or letting out the sides of a fully-beaded mesh gown requires working around the embellishment carefully, so choose a tailor who has done this type of work before. For sizing, this makes it especially important to order the size closest to your actual measurements — particularly your bust and hip measurements — rather than your dress size on a standard clothing chart. If you are between sizes, lean toward the larger size and have it taken in, as adding fabric to a beaded gown is significantly harder than removing a small amount.

PS26006 is available in Black, Blue, Emerald, and White, which gives a group strong options for coordination. The most common approach for a court or damas group is to put the featured person in one color — often Black or White for contrast — and dress the group in another color from the same style. Because PS26006 is the same silhouette and the same fully-beaded construction across all colorways, the group will look unified in photographs regardless of which colors you choose. Black and Emerald together photograph with strong contrast. Black and Blue read as a deep, rich palette under event lighting. White with any of the other three creates a clear visual distinction between the main wearer and the group. All four colors are confirmed photographed, so you can see exactly how each colorway looks before ordering. For group orders, contact Marlas Fashions before placing individual orders to confirm stock levels across the sizes and colors your group needs. Inventory for a single style in multiple colors and sizes can shift quickly during prom season, so coordinating early is the smartest move.

Portia and Scarlett PS26006 is a fully fitted gown, which means it is designed to sit close to the body through the bust, waist, and hips with no ease built in for a relaxed fit. The sizing follows standard Portia and Scarlett sizing, which generally runs true to size for most body types. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare those measurements to the Portia and Scarlett size chart rather than going by your typical dress size. For a fitted beaded gown specifically, your hip measurement is often the deciding number — if your hip falls between two sizes, order the larger one and have the waist or bust taken in if needed. Taking in a fitted beaded gown is manageable for a skilled tailor; letting it out is not. If you are unsure about your measurements or want help choosing between two sizes, the Marlas Fashions concierge team is available to help — text us at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 before placing your order. They can walk you through the size chart and give a recommendation based on your measurements.

PS26006 is designed for moments that call for a fully formal, high-impact gown. It is most at home at prom, where the all-over beading and dramatic silhouette read as exactly right for a formal entrance. It is also well suited to pageants — the fully-beaded construction, fitted silhouette, high slit, and open back are hallmarks of competition gown styling at the Miss Universe level. Galas and formal fundraiser events are another strong fit. A room where floor-length embellished gowns are expected is the environment this dress was designed for. The four colorways give you options across different event color themes — Black for classic formal events, Emerald or Blue for events where a bold color statement is appropriate, White when you want maximum visual contrast. This gown is not suited for wedding guest events due to the fully open back and the overtly body-conscious styling. It is a stage dress and a dance floor dress — the kind of gown you wear when the goal is to be seen.

PS26006 is a strapless fully beaded gown, and the bodice is structured through its construction — the mesh base and dense beading provide significant rigidity that helps hold the shape against the body. Most wearers will find the bodice holds without additional undergarments, but personal preference and body type vary. Because the back is fully open, traditional bras are not compatible with this gown. Adhesive bra cups or body tape are the standard solutions for strapless open-back gowns at this level of embellishment. The density of the beading means body tape will adhere to the edge of the gown fabric rather than the beads themselves, so apply it to the smooth mesh sections if visible. Shapewear that sits below the bodice — such as high-waist shorts or a slip that ends at the knee — can add smoothness under the fitted skirt without interfering with the neckline or back design. Choose seamless options in a neutral tone to avoid visible lines under the fitted beaded surface.
