Frequently Asked Questions

What is the return and exchange policy if I order this gown and it doesn't work out — can I try it on at home?

Yes, you can order Portia and Scarlett PS26054, try it on at home, and return or exchange it if it is not right for you. Here is exactly how it works at Marlas Fashions. Returns are accepted for store credit, an exchange, or a refund. If you choose a refund, a 30% restocking fee is deducted from your original payment. Store credit never expires, so if you are not ready to choose your replacement gown right away, the credit stays on your account until you are. Exchanges are straightforward — you return the original gown and we apply the value toward your new selection. The most important thing to know before trying the gown on at home is to keep the tags attached and do not alter, steam, or hem the dress before you are certain you are keeping it. Once a gown has been altered or worn outside the house, it is no longer returnable. We also recommend trying it on with the undergarments you plan to wear — adhesive bra cups or a low-back solution work well with this style given the fully open back — so you can get a realistic picture of the fit before making a final decision. For PS26054 specifically, the structured boning means the fit is pretty defined. If the bodice feels too tight across the ribs or too loose at the waist in a way that the boning cannot compensate for, that is useful information to catch at home before the event. In that case, exchange for the next size up or down and we will sort it out. Shipping timelines matter here too. Standard delivery from our Los Angeles and New York warehouses runs 7 to 12 business days. If your event date is close, ask about rush options when you place your order so you have enough time to try the gown on, decide, and still receive a replacement if needed. Canadian customers ship from our Toronto warehouse with no duties. International orders ship worldwide with full tracking. If you have questions about whether this gown is right for your body type, event, or timeline before you order, reach out before checkout rather than after — that way we can help you make the right call the first time.

Which events and occasions is Portia and Scarlett PS26054 actually designed for, and where would it be out of place?

Portia and Scarlett PS26054 is designed for high-impact, high-formality events where a fully embellished, fully open-back fitted gown is exactly the right call. Here is a straightforward breakdown. This gown is ideal for prom. The combination of a corset bodice, densely beaded pearl skirt, crystal trim at the neckline and waist, and a sweep train adds up to exactly the kind of statement look that prom calls for. It photographs exceptionally well under event lighting because of how the pearl beading chains and crystal rhinestone trim reflect light at different angles. It is also very well suited to pageant competitions. The level of embellishment — fully beaded skirt, rhinestone edge trim, visible construction — is at the caliber you need for a stage look. The fitted silhouette reads clean and polished at a distance, which matters in pageant settings where the audience is seeing you from across a large room or auditorium. For gala events and formal evenings where over-the-top styling is expected and welcomed, PS26054 works well. The open back adds a dramatic element that suits that environment. Where this gown does not fit: it is not appropriate for wedding-guest occasions. The fully open back goes well past the mid-back modesty threshold that wedding-guest styling requires. Similarly, it is not the right choice for conservative formal events — religious ceremonies, military formal dinners with strict dress codes, or anything where a covered back is expected. It is not a mother-of-the-bride or mother-of-the-groom gown. If your event is black-tie and the dress code is elegant but not flashy, this gown may read as too bold. If you are unsure whether the level of embellishment and the open back are appropriate for your specific event, check the event's dress code language carefully or reach out to us before ordering. We would rather help you choose correctly up front than have you receive a gown that is not the right fit for the occasion.

How does the back closure on PS26054 work, and can I adjust it for a better fit?

Portia and Scarlett PS26054 has a fully open back — there is no zipper, clasp, or lace-up at the back of the skirt. The structured corset bodice itself is what holds the gown in place. The bodice uses visible boning channels that run vertically through the fabric, and the fit of the bodice against your ribcage and bust is what keeps the strapless construction secure. Because the entire back is open and bare from the bodice edge down, there is nothing to adjust once the gown is on. Fit depends entirely on ordering the correct size. Use your full bust, waist, and hip measurements and compare them directly to the Portia and Scarlett size chart. The bodice boning is structured to fit a specific measurement range, so if you are between sizes, sizing up gives the tailor more fabric to work with and is easier to take in than to let out. If the bodice fits correctly at the bust and ribs but feels slightly loose at the waist, a tailor can add internal boning panels or take in the side seams to close the gap. This is a common alteration on strapless corset gowns.

Can I coordinate Portia and Scarlett PS26054 with a court, damas, or group for prom or a pageant?

Yes, PS26054 can work as a focal point in a prom court or pageant group. Because the beading and embellishment level is very high — fully beaded pearl skirt, crystal trim, corset bodice, open back — it reads as the statement gown in any group, so it is most naturally suited as the lead or featured gown rather than a matching style for all members. For a prom court, the most common approach is to have the individual wearing PS26054 in a complementary but distinct style while the court wears something in the same color family but simpler construction. The Blue colorway pairs well with navy, silver, and ice blue for supporting gowns. If the whole group is going in blue tones, PS26054 stands out naturally due to the pearl beading without needing to be in a different color. For a damas or quinceañera court, this gown is too bridal and prom-specific in its construction to function as a coordinated damas style. It works better as an individual statement gown. For pageant competition within a larger group or troupe, PS26054 holds up on stage individually — the embellishment level is built for that environment. Coordinating with other competitors is typically not relevant in a competition setting, but if you are part of a performing group, the fitted silhouette and train are manageable for choreographed movement as long as the routine does not require high kicks or floor work.

Does PS26054 run true to size, and how do I measure to make sure I order the right size?

Portia and Scarlett PS26054 runs close to standard formal sizing but the structured boning means there is less flexibility in the bodice than you would get from a zippered gown. Measure your full bust (around the fullest part), your natural waist (the narrowest point, not your hip), and your hips (about 7 to 8 inches below your waist), then compare all three measurements to the Portia and Scarlett size chart. For this gown specifically, the bust and waist measurements are the most critical because the boning holds those dimensions firmly. If your measurements put you between sizes, size up. A bodice that is slightly large can be taken in by a tailor. A bodice that is too small at the ribcage will be uncomfortable to wear for an entire evening and is structurally difficult to alter outward. The skirt is fitted through the hips, so hip measurement matters too. If your hips are proportionally larger than your bust relative to the size chart, order to your hip measurement and have the bodice taken in if needed. Height: the gown is designed for someone approximately 5'7" to 5'9" in heels. If you are shorter, budget for hemming. The sweep train at the back will also need to be shortened proportionally if you hem the front. A formal tailor who works with beaded gowns will know how to handle the pearl skirt — confirm they have experience with heavily beaded hems before booking the alteration.

What do I wear underneath a fully open-back strapless gown like this one?

With Portia and Scarlett PS26054, your undergarment options are limited by two things: the strapless sweetheart neckline and the fully open back. A standard bra is not an option. Here is what works. The bodice has built-in boning and structured cups that provide real support on their own. Many wearers find that no additional undergarment is needed if the gown fits correctly in the bodice. The boning does the work a bra would normally do. If you want additional support, adhesive bra cups (also called sticky bras) are the best option. Look for ones rated for full support rather than light coverage — the structured bodice will hold them in place. Apply them before stepping into the gown. Because the entire back is bare, there is no undergarment that covers the back without showing. Seamless, low-cut underwear in a color close to your skin tone is the standard choice for the lower half. Shapewear that extends above the waist will show at the back, so stick to hip-level or low-rise options if you choose to wear it. For the neckline, fashion tape along the inside of the sweetheart edge can help keep the bodice flush against your skin if you are moving a lot — dancing, walking stairs, or sitting for extended periods.

Can PS26054 be altered or hemmed, and is it easy to work with for a tailor?

Most alterations on Portia and Scarlett PS26054 are doable, but this gown requires a tailor who has direct experience with heavily beaded and structured formal gowns. The pearl beading chains on the skirt and the boning structure in the bodice both require specialized handling. Hemming: this is the most common alteration and it is achievable, but the beaded skirt adds complexity. A tailor will need to work around the pearl beading chains near the hem rather than simply cutting and restitching. Expect the alteration to take longer and cost more than a standard hem. The sweep train at the back will also need to be adjusted proportionally. Taking in the bodice: possible at the side seams. The boning channels can be repositioned if the alteration is minor. A significant reduction in the bodice size is more complex. Letting out the bodice: difficult. The boning and structured fabric have very little seam allowance to release. This is why sizing up and taking in is always the better starting point. Waistline adjustments: the crystal rhinestone trim at the waist seam makes this alteration complex. A tailor will need to temporarily remove and reattach the trim to move the seam. Bring the shoes you plan to wear to your fitting so the hem length is measured correctly. Book your tailor appointment as soon as the gown arrives — heavily beaded gowns take more time than plain fabric, and you want enough lead time before your event.

How does the Blue colorway look in person compared to photos, and what should I know before choosing it?

The Blue colorway of Portia and Scarlett PS26054 photographs as a medium-to-deep blue, and in person it reads similarly — it is not a pastel or an ice blue, and it is not navy. It sits in the range of a saturated royal or cobalt blue depending on the specific lighting. In venue lighting — ballrooms, event halls, stage lighting — the pearl beading chains on the skirt scatter and reflect light in a way that shifts the perceived color slightly. Under warm amber lighting, the blue can read a little softer. Under cool white or stage lighting, it stays more vivid. The crystal rhinestone trim at the neckline and waist also catches light independently of the beading, adding a silver-white sparkle that contrasts against the blue base. In photography, the pearl beading chains create a textured surface that photographs with depth. The gown does not flatten in photos the way a smooth satin would — the layered beading shows dimensionally. If you are trying to coordinate with a group or choose accessories, the blue reads as a true primary blue with a cool undertone rather than a warm or purple-shifted blue.
