Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Portia and Scarlett PS26746 different from other embellished short dresses?

The main thing that sets PS26746 apart is the construction of the skirt embellishment. Most embellished short dresses use an allover sequin fabric or scattered beading — PS26746 uses rectangular rhinestone drops arranged in vertical chain rows over a mesh base. The result is a layered, dimensional sparkle that catches light differently depending on how you move, rather than a flat reflective surface. The rhinestone chains have a slight swing to them, so there is genuine movement in the skirt when you walk or dance. The second differentiator is the bodice. It is a clean, structured panel with visible boning channels — no embellishment at all on the front of the bodice except the fine crystal trim along the sweetheart neckline edge. That contrast between the plain boned top and the heavily encrusted skirt gives the dress a strong visual break that reads more fashion-forward than a dress that is uniformly covered in the same treatment top to bottom. The fully open back is the third element. From the shoulder blades to the waist, the back is completely bare, which means the dress has a very different profile front versus back. That kind of reveal is part of the styling intention — it rewards movement and makes the dress interesting from every angle in the room.

How fast does Portia and Scarlett PS26746 ship, and where does it ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS26746 ships from our warehouse locations in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto warehouse. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is placed. Rush shipping is available at checkout if you have a specific event date coming up soon — just select the rush option and the system will show you the fastest available window for your destination. We ship to the United States, Canada, and internationally. US and Canadian customers pay no duties or import fees on their orders, which is something a lot of shoppers don't realize until they compare total landed costs with other retailers. International orders are tracked end to end so you always know where your package is. Every dress leaves our warehouse only after a physical inspection, which adds a small but meaningful quality check before it reaches you. If your event is within the next two to three weeks, we recommend contacting us before you order so we can confirm current stock and the realistic delivery window for your city. Rush is genuinely available on most styles, but lead times do vary by destination, so it's worth a quick check rather than assuming. You can reach our team by text at +1 416-536-2956 or on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 — we respond quickly during business hours and can usually confirm availability and a shipping estimate within a few hours. We've been helping customers get the right dress to the right place on time for over 40 years, so if there's a way to make it work for your date, we'll find it. Once your order ships, you'll receive tracking information by email so you can follow the package every step of the way. If anything looks unusual with the tracking or you have questions mid-transit, our team is always reachable through the same text and WhatsApp channels.

What is your return policy for PS26746, and can I try it on at home before committing?

Yes — you can absolutely try Portia and Scarlett PS26746 at home, and our return policy is designed to make that practical rather than stressful. When your dress arrives, try it on with the undergarments and shoes you plan to wear to your event. If the fit isn't right or it's not the look you were expecting, you have three return options. The first is a full store credit that never expires. You can put that credit toward any other dress or item in our store at any point in the future — there's no clock running on it. The second option is an exchange, which is straightforward: we send you the replacement style or size and process the swap. The third option is a refund to your original payment method, which is processed less a 30% restocking fee. We frame that restocking fee honestly: it reflects the handling, re-inspection, and re-pressing that every returned dress needs before it can go back into inventory in perfect condition. We inspect every dress before it ships to you, and we do the same when it comes back. Most customers who are unsure between store credit and a refund find that the store credit is the better value since it's the full amount and it never expires. To start a return, reach out to our team with your order number and the reason for the return, and we'll walk you through the next steps. Items must be returned in unworn, unaltered condition with tags attached — worn or altered dresses cannot be accepted back. If you are genuinely between sizes and unsure which direction to go for PS26746 specifically, sizing up is generally the safer choice for a boned bodycon like this one. The boning holds the fit firmly, so there is less give than you'd find in a stretchy jersey style, and a slightly roomier fit through the torso is more comfortable for a full evening of wearing.

How does the back closure on PS26746 work, and can I adjust the fit?

PS26746 has a fully open back — the entire back from the shoulder blades to the waist is bare, so there is no back closure in the traditional sense of a zipper or hook-and-eye running the full length. The dress holds its shape and stays in place through the structured boned bodice at the front and sides, which is designed to grip the body without needing straps or a back panel. Because the structure comes from the bodice boning rather than a lace-up or adjustable closure, there is limited ability to adjust the fit at home. This is one of the main reasons we recommend paying close attention to your measurements when selecting a size, and erring toward sizing up if you are between sizes. A boned bodice that is too tight will be uncomfortable quickly; one that is slightly generous can often be taken in by a local seamstress with a simple adjustment. If you have had the dress altered to fit and then want to wear it again after a size change, the boning makes alterations slightly more involved than a plain fabric dress — flag that for your tailor before they start so they can plan accordingly.

Can I coordinate PS26746 with a court, damas, or a group of friends wearing different dresses?

PS26746 works well as a standout piece within a group because the black/crystal colorway is neutral enough to coordinate with almost any other color palette. If you are the honoree at homecoming or a semi-formal event and your court or damas are wearing a specific color, black with crystal detail reads as a strong contrast anchor — it does not clash with jewel tones, pastels, or metallics. If you are part of a group rather than the center of attention and want to match more closely, the crystal rhinestone skirt picks up silver and gold tones equally well, so accessories in either metal family will bridge the look to a group wearing warm or cool colors. The dress is bold enough to hold its own without additional accessories but clean enough that coordinated earrings or a hairpiece in your group color will tie the looks together without looking forced. For a full court or damas coordination, we can also help you source complementary styles from our inventory — reach out to our team with your group size and event date and we can suggest options that work alongside PS26746 without competing with it.

How does PS26746 fit, and should I size up or down?

PS26746 runs true to size for most body types, but because the silhouette is a structured boned bodycon with no stretch in the bodice, the fit is firm rather than forgiving. If you are between sizes, sizing up is the right move. A boned bodice that is even slightly too small will feel restrictive by mid-evening, and the open back means there is no lace-up panel to take up extra room the way a corset-back gown would. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare to the Portia and Scarlett size chart before ordering. If your measurements fall on different sizes across those three points — for example, a size 4 bust and a size 6 hip — choose based on the largest measurement and plan to have the bodice taken in slightly by a tailor if needed. The boning makes that a manageable alteration. The skirt is mesh with rhinestone embellishment and has very little stretch, so hip and thigh fit matters as much as waist fit. If you carry more volume through the hips, factor that in when choosing your size.

What occasions is PS26746 actually appropriate for?

PS26746 is built for high-energy, party-forward events where a bold, embellished look is the right call. Homecoming is the most natural fit — the rhinestone skirt and bodycon silhouette are exactly what that event calls for. Cocktail parties, semi-formal events, and after-prom celebrations are all strong matches as well. The open back and very short hemline keep this dress out of conservative event territory. It is not suited for weddings (as a guest or otherwise), formal galas, or professional functions. It is also not the right choice if your event has a dress code that specifies a longer hemline or covered back. Within its category, though, PS26746 is extremely versatile — any event where the vibe is celebratory, the venue has a dance floor, and dressing up means dressing boldly is a context where this dress will feel exactly right. Every Portia and Scarlett PS26746 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 PS26746, and is there built-in support?

The boned bodice provides genuine built-in support through the bust — you do not need a separate bra with this dress for most body types. The boning channels hold the sweetheart neckline in place and give structure across the chest, which is one of the functional advantages of a properly boned strapless bodice over a simple elasticated tube. For the lower half, seamless underwear in a low-rise cut or a thong works best given the very short hemline and the close fit of the skirt. Anything with a visible waistband or seams will show through the fitted skirt, so smooth is the priority. If you have a larger bust and want extra security for a night of dancing, a strapless adhesive bra or fashion tape along the sweetheart neckline edge can add peace of mind. The open back rules out a conventional bra entirely, so if you do want supplemental support, adhesive styles are your best option.
