Frequently Asked Questions

What is the return policy if the gown does not work out after I try it on at home?

Marlas Fashions accepts returns on PS26155 within the standard return window as long as the gown is unworn, unaltered, and returned with all original tags still attached. When you send a gown back, you have three options: store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different size or color, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The restocking fee reflects the inspection and repackaging work required to bring a returned formal gown back to sellable condition, and it applies to all designer gowns including Portia and Scarlett styles. For PS26155 in particular, we encourage customers to order early enough to try the gown on at home before the event. The corset bodice is structured with visible boning channels, so fit through the waist is less forgiving than a draped or A-line silhouette — you want to confirm it sits correctly at your natural waist and that the sweetheart neckline falls where you expect it. The high slit is also worth checking: it sits quite high in the Cindy Pink and Black colorways, and some wearers prefer to have it partially stitched down by a local tailor if they want a more conservative look. If the gown arrives and you have concerns about the fit or condition before your event, contact us right away. We will work through the options with you — whether that is an exchange for a different size, guidance on alterations, or starting a return. Our goal is that you walk into your event confident in the dress, and we would rather solve a fit issue quickly than have you stressed about it. Every Portia and Scarlett PS26155 that leaves our warehouse is inspected by hand before shipping, so the beadwork, seams, and closures arrive exactly as the designer intended. If you are between sizes on the Portia and Scarlett PS26155, our team can talk you through the size chart against your own measurements before you order.

How fast does PS26155 ship and where does it ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS26155 ships from Marlas Fashions' 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 confirmed. If your event is coming up quickly, rush processing is available — just reach out before you place your order so we can confirm the timeline and make sure the gown arrives with enough time for any alterations you may need. We ship worldwide with full tracking on every order. US and Canadian customers pay no duties or import fees on their shipments. International orders are tracked from dispatch to delivery, so you always know where your gown is. Shipping costs and estimated delivery windows for your specific location are shown at checkout before you finalize the order. One practical note for PS26155 specifically: this is a structured ballgown with a tiered organza ruffle skirt and a boned corset waistband, so it is packaged carefully to protect the volume and beadwork during transit. It may arrive with some compression in the skirt layers from folding — this is normal for organza ruffles, and a light steaming is usually all it takes to restore the full shape. If you have any questions about shipping to your area or want to confirm a rush option, get in touch with us before ordering and we will give you a straight answer on timing. Every Portia and Scarlett PS26155 is hand-inspected before shipping so seams and embellishment arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the PS26155, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the PS26155 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick and fitting time. Every Portia and Scarlett PS26155 is hand-inspected before shipping so seams and embellishment arrive flawless.

What makes PS26155 different from other beaded ballgowns at a similar price point?

The standout construction detail on Portia and Scarlett PS26155 is the corset waistband. It is not just a decorative piece — it has visible boning channels running through a sheer beaded basque section that genuinely holds the bodice in place. A lot of ballgowns at this price point have a lace-up back or simple boning in a side seam, but the PS26155 waistband is a structured, separate construction element that defines the waist and keeps the bodice anchored without needing an external strapless bra or shapewear. The skirt is the other differentiator. The tiered organza ruffles are layered in a way that creates real volume and movement — the organza holds its shape and has a slight crisp sheen that you do not get from chiffon or tulle. When you walk or dance, the layers move individually rather than as one mass of fabric, which gives the skirt a lot of visual dimension. The Cream version also includes an organza floral rosette at the hip that is a hand-placed detail and makes that colorway feel distinctly different from the Black and Cindy Pink options. The combination of structured corset construction, tiered organza skirt, and accent beading at the neckline, straps, and waistband is what separates PS26155 from simpler ballgown options.

How does the back closure on PS26155 work and how much can it be adjusted?

The back of Portia and Scarlett PS26155 is held by two thin beaded straps that cross the open back. The corset waistband is the primary structural piece — it is boned and fastens at the back, typically with a lace-up, hook-and-eye, or zip closure depending on the production run. Because the bodice is built around this structured waistband rather than relying on a full zip up the back, there is a modest range of adjustment at the waist. A lace-up closure in particular can be loosened or tightened by roughly one to two sizes, which gives you some flexibility if your measurements fall between standard sizes. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up and having the waistband taken in by a local tailor rather than sizing down and hoping the boning will give. The structured construction does not stretch the way a jersey or satin bodice would. For customers who want to confirm the exact closure style for their production date, reach out before ordering and we can check current spec with the warehouse.

Can PS26155 be coordinated with a court, damas group, or bridal party?

PS26155 works well as the featured gown for a quinceañera honoree, a sweet 16 celebrant, or a debut debutante when court or damas gowns are ordered in a coordinating but distinct style. The three available colorways — Cream, Cindy Pink, and Black — give you practical options for event color schemes. A common approach is to place the honoree in Cream or Cindy Pink and dress the court in a simpler complementary gown in the same palette. For prom groups, PS26155 in Black or Cindy Pink coordinates naturally with suits in matching accent colors. Because the gown has a strong silhouette on its own, court or group dresses are typically chosen to be less voluminous so PS26155 reads as the statement piece. If you are ordering for a group, contact us early — we can confirm current stock levels across all colorways and advise on coordinating Portia and Scarlett styles that work alongside PS26155 without competing with it.

How does PS26155 fit and should I size up or down?

Portia and Scarlett PS26155 fits true to size for most customers, but the structured corset waistband means you should measure your natural waist carefully before ordering. The boning holds the bodice in a fixed shape, so there is less stretch or give than you would find in a jersey or chiffon gown. If your waist measurement falls between two sizes on the Portia and Scarlett size chart, size up — a waistband that is slightly large can be taken in by a tailor, but one that is too small cannot be let out without significant work. The sweetheart neckline is supported by the boning in the waistband rather than by a built-in bra cup, so bust fit is largely about the width and position of the neckline edge rather than cup support. Customers with a larger bust sometimes find they need the neckline altered slightly for modesty; a local bridal or formalwear tailor can add a snap or small stitch with minimal visible change. The tiered organza skirt has a full, fixed silhouette — there is no stretch in the skirt itself, but volume is not a fit concern. If you have questions about a specific measurement situation, contact us before ordering and we can advise based on your numbers.

What occasions and events is PS26155 appropriate for?

Portia and Scarlett PS26155 is best suited for prom, a sweet 16 party, a debut ball, or a formal gala. The full ballgown silhouette, tiered ruffle skirt, and high slit make it a strong choice for any event where a dramatic, floor-length gown is appropriate and expected. The Cream colorway has a softer quality that works well for debut ceremonies or sweet 16 celebrations with a romantic theme. Black and Cindy Pink both read as statement prom or gala gowns. This dress does not suit more conservative occasions. The open back and high slit mean it is not appropriate as a wedding guest dress, a mother-of-the-bride choice, or a confirmation gown. It is also not suitable for military balls, which require a covered back. If you are looking at PS26155 for a specific event and are not sure it fits the dress code, check the event's guidelines — most prom and gala events are a great fit; more formal or religious ceremonies may not be.

What undergarments work best with PS26155 given the open back and sweetheart neckline?

Because PS26155 has a substantially open back, a traditional bra is not compatible with this gown. The boned corset waistband provides structural support at the waist and lower torso, but the sweetheart neckline and open back mean you will need a different approach for upper-bust support. Adhesive bra cups or a low-back bra with a clear or removable extension strap are the most common solutions. Silicone adhesive cups in particular work well with a sweetheart neckline since they sit directly against the skin with no visible straps. The corset waistband itself does a significant amount of smoothing and shaping work at the midsection, so shapewear underneath the skirt is optional rather than necessary for most wearers. If you choose to wear a slip or lightweight shapewear layer beneath the organza skirt, make sure it sits below the waistband rather than underneath it, as adding bulk under the basque section can affect how the boning sits. For the high slit in the Cindy Pink and Black colorways, thigh-length cycling shorts or bike shorts in a skin-matching or black tone are the most practical and comfortable choice for a full evening of wear.
