Frequently Asked Questions

What is your return policy for PS26026, and can I try it on at home before committing?

Yes — you can absolutely try Portia and Scarlett PS26026 at home. We ship to you, you try it on in your own space with the shoes and shapewear you plan to wear, and if it is not right you have options. Here is exactly how returns and exchanges work. If the gown does not fit or is not the right style for you, you can return it for a store credit that never expires, exchange it for a different size or color, or request a refund less a 30% restocking fee. The restocking fee covers the inspection, repackaging, and reprocessing on our end — it is the trade-off for buying a formal gown online rather than in a boutique. To be eligible for a return, the gown must be in unworn, unaltered condition with all original tags attached. Try it on carefully — do not wear it for more than a fitting, and keep it away from cosmetics, perfume, and food. If the dress shows signs of wear, alteration, or damage, it cannot be accepted back. Exchanges are the easiest route if you need a different size. Because PS26026 runs in standard sizing, many customers find that going up or down one size solves a fit issue without any tailoring. If you are between sizes, we usually recommend sizing up and taking it to a local tailor, since taking in a dress is simpler and less expensive than letting it out. Store credit is the fastest option if you want to switch to a completely different style. The credit goes onto your account immediately once we receive and inspect the return, and it applies to any future order with no expiry date — so there is no pressure to spend it right away. If you receive a gown that is damaged or incorrect, contact us immediately and we will resolve it at no cost to you. That situation is handled differently from a standard return. Bottomline: try it on, decide with confidence, and contact us if anything is not right. We have been doing this for over 40 years and we want you in the right gown.

How fast does Portia and Scarlett PS26026 ship, and where does it ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS26026 ships from warehouses 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. If your event date is coming up fast, rush shipping is available at checkout — select the option that matches your timeline and the system will calculate the fastest available service to your address. US and Canadian customers pay no import duties or customs fees — those are covered. International orders ship worldwide with full tracking, so you can follow your gown from warehouse to front door at every step. A few things worth knowing about timing: the 7–12 business day window covers the large majority of orders, but shipping to remote areas or during peak prom season (March through May) can occasionally add a day or two on the delivery end. If you are ordering for a specific event and your date is within three weeks, we strongly recommend selecting rush shipping rather than relying on standard delivery to arrive with margin to spare. Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number by email. You can use that number on the carrier's website to get live delivery updates. If your tracking shows a delay or the estimated delivery date shifts, contact us right away — we can often intervene with the carrier or arrange a replacement shipment if needed. We are an authorized Portia and Scarlett retailer with over 40 years in the business, and every dress is inspected before it leaves the warehouse. You are not ordering from a third-party reseller — you are ordering directly from a team that has handled thousands of prom gown shipments and knows what a tight event deadline feels like. If you have any questions about your specific ship date, reach out before you order and we will give you a straight answer.

What makes Portia and Scarlett PS26026 different from other strapless fitted prom gowns?

Most strapless fitted gowns are smooth fabric with minimal detail — PS26026 layers several distinct design moves onto one silhouette. The all-over micro-rhinestone glitter jersey means the entire dress catches light rather than just an embellished bodice or a sequin skirt. The structured corset bodice has visible vertical boning channels, which give the sweetheart neckline a sculpted architectural look instead of the softer, gathered finish you see on most strapless styles. The centre-front keyhole cutout just below the sweetheart dip adds a small but precise detail that breaks up the neckline in an unexpected way. The draped and twisted bust treatment above it adds dimension without bulk. The hip-level ruching band creates a waist-defining moment that transitions directly into the high front slit — so the silhouette reads as one connected design rather than a bodice bolted onto a skirt. The sweep train at the back gives the gown a formal, floor-length finish from behind while the front slit keeps it wearable for a full evening of movement. The combination of all of these details — glitter fabric, boned corset, keyhole, draping, ruching, slit, and train — on a single fitted silhouette is what separates PS26026 from a standard strapless gown. It is a lot of design, executed in a way that reads as a unified look rather than competing elements.

How does the back closure on PS26026 work, and can it be adjusted for fit?

The Portia and Scarlett PS26026 does not have a traditional lace-up or corset back closure. The back is a fitted construction that matches the stretch jersey fabric of the rest of the gown. The corset effect you see in this dress comes from the structured boning inside the bodice — the vertical boning channels visible in the front detail shots — not from a lace-up back system. Because the back does not have an adjustable closure, fit at the bodice is determined by the size you order. The stretch jersey fabric has some give, which helps with minor sizing variation, but for a clean fit across the back and through the corset bodice, you want to order the size closest to your measurements rather than relying on the fabric to compensate. If you are between sizes, size up and have a tailor take in the back seams — this gives you more control over the final fit than trying to squeeze into a smaller size. A skilled formal-wear tailor can also shorten the sweep train if needed, which is a common alteration for shorter frames.

Can a whole prom court or damas group wear PS26026 together?

Yes — PS26026 works well as a group gown for a prom court or a damas lineup. The five available colorways (Black, Brown, Emerald, Red, and Silver) give you flexibility for either a coordinated same-color group or a mixed-color court where each person wears a different shade. For a same-color court, Black and Silver are the most frequently requested options because they read as unified and formal in group photos. Emerald and Red make a striking statement for courts that want a bolder, more distinctive look. Brown is the most unusual of the five and photographs warmly, particularly under event lighting. For a mixed-color lineup, the glitter fabric unifies the group even when the colorways differ — every person is wearing the same silhouette and the same surface treatment, so the group reads as coordinated even though the colors vary. When ordering for a group, place all orders at the same time to ensure consistent dye-lot production across the group. If orders are placed weeks apart, there is a small risk of shade variation between units, particularly in the more saturated colorways like Emerald and Red. Contact us before placing a group order and we can advise on inventory availability and timing.

How does PS26026 fit, and is it true to size?

Portia and Scarlett PS26026 fits true to size for most customers, but because it is a fitted silhouette through the bust, waist, and hips, precise measurements matter more than they do for an a-line or ballgown style. Use the Portia and Scarlett size chart and compare your bust, waist, and hip measurements directly — do not go by your typical clothing size or your dress size from another brand. The stretch jersey fabric provides a small amount of give, which helps at the hips and through the thigh where the high slit begins. The corset bodice is more structured and has less flex, so the bust measurement is the most critical number to match. If your bust and hips fall into different size ranges, size to the larger measurement and plan for minor tailoring at the smaller one. Customers who are between sizes consistently report better results going up rather than down — the fabric can be taken in, but it cannot be let out past the seam allowance. A formal-wear tailor can handle standard adjustments on this style without difficulty.

What occasions is Portia and Scarlett PS26026 best suited for?

PS26026 is designed for events where a full-length, high-impact formal gown is the right call. It is a strong choice for prom and formal dances, black-tie galas, formal evening events, and red-carpet-style occasions. The fitted silhouette, all-over glitter fabric, high slit, and sweep train together produce a look that reads as formal and deliberate rather than casual or party-wear. Because the gown is overtly body-con with a deep sweetheart neckline, high slit, and significant back exposure, it is not suited for conservative events such as wedding receptions as a guest, religious ceremonies, or mother-of-the-bride situations. It is built for events where a dramatic entrance is expected and welcomed. All five colorways work across these occasions. Black and Silver are the most versatile for formal event contexts. Emerald and Red are bold choices that stand out in a crowd. Brown is distinctive and works particularly well under warm event lighting. Every Portia and Scarlett PS26026 that leaves our warehouse is inspected by hand before shipping, so the beadwork, seams, and closures arrive exactly as the designer intended.

What undergarments work best with PS26026, and is the bodice supportive enough on its own?

The structured corset bodice with vertical boning channels is designed to provide support without a separate strapless bra for most cup sizes. The boning holds the sweetheart shape and keeps the bodice in place through the full evening. Most customers wearing a B or C cup find the built-in support sufficient on its own. For D cup and above, a strapless adhesive bra or a low-back strapless bra worn under the corset bodice adds extra security and is worth considering, particularly if you plan to dance. The adhesive style sits flat against the skin and does not show through the glitter jersey fabric. For the lower half, a seamless thong or low-cut brief in a color close to your skin tone is the cleanest option under the fitted jersey fabric. Avoid shapewear with thick waistbands or heavy panels — the hip-level ruching band on PS26026 sits at a specific point on the silhouette and heavy shapewear underneath can distort the way that detail sits. Lightweight shaping shorts that end above the mid-thigh are fine and will not interfere with the high slit.
