Description
About the Dress: Portia and Scarlett PS27131
Portia and Scarlett PS27131 is a long strapless sweetheart fitted gown covered completely in hot-stone rhinestone embellishment from the bodice all the way down to the hem. The base is a stretch jersey knit that moves with your body while the rhinestone surface gives it full-on sparkle in every light. It comes in four colorways — Black/Silver, Fuchsia, Peacock, and Rose Gold — so there is a version for virtually every personal style. The silhouette is sleek and close-fitting throughout, finishing with a smooth train sweep rather than a flare, and a front-center high slit adds drama and ease of movement.
Fit & Silhouette
PS27131 is a fitted gown that hugs the body through the bust, waist, and hips without flaring at the knee. The structured sweetheart bodice is boned to hold its shape and keep everything in place, which matters a lot in a strapless silhouette covered this heavily in embellishment. The high front slit breaks up the column shape and lets you walk and dance without restriction. The train adds a formal-length finish at the back. This is a sleek, body-conscious silhouette — if you are between sizes, size up for comfort through the hips.
Fabric & Detail
The base fabric is stretch jersey, a knit that offers gentle give and drapes smoothly against the body. Over that base, the entire gown is encrusted with hot-stone rhinestones — small individual stones set across the bodice, torso, and skirt so the coverage is continuous top to bottom. There is no plain fabric visible on the exterior. The result is a fully-beaded surface that catches light from every angle. The boning inside the sweetheart bodice is structural, not decorative — it is what keeps the neckline sitting flat and the gown staying put through the night.
Key Features

- Fully covered in hot-stone rhinestone embellishment from bodice to hem
- Stretch jersey base fabric for comfort and movement
- Front-center high slit for ease and drama
- Train sweep at the back hemline
- Open back consistent with strapless construction

Style & Occasion
Portia and Scarlett PS27131 is built for occasions where full glamour is the expectation. It is a natural pick for prom, formal evening events, and pageants — anywhere that calls for a gown that reads as a complete statement the moment you walk in. The Black/Silver colorway is the most classic and photographs dramatically under event lighting. Fuchsia and Rose Gold both read warm and vibrant in person, while Peacock brings a jewel-toned depth that photographs especially well in outdoor shoots. Pair any colorway with strappy heeled sandals to let the gown remain the focus. Jewelry can be minimal — the rhinestone surface does the work. A sleek updo keeps the strapless neckline and open back visible, which is the point of this silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is one of the most common concerns with a fitted column gown, and it is a fair one. The honest answer is that PS27131 is designed for real-event wear, and the stretch jersey base fabric is a big part of why. Jersey knit has natural give in all directions — it moves as you move rather than resisting you the way a rigid satin or mikado would. The boned sweetheart bodice keeps the top locked in place, so you are not spending the evening adjusting the neckline. That is genuinely freeing when you are on the dance floor.
The front-center high slit is the other factor that makes this gown liveable all night. A fitted gown without a slit forces very small steps, which gets tiring fast and can affect your posture. The high slit on PS27131 opens up your stride significantly — you can walk normally, step up onto a stage, take photos on stairs, and move through a crowd without having to think about it.
The train is worth planning for. On the dance floor, a train can get stepped on if you are not careful. Many people choose to keep the train behind them during slow songs and gather it slightly with one hand during fast dances until they get comfortable with how it moves. Some venues have a bustling option — ask your tailor if you want it secured up for dancing portions of the night.
Fit is the most important comfort factor. If the gown is too tight through the hips, even great fabric will restrict you. We always recommend sizing up if you are on the boundary, especially in a fully-embellished fitted gown where there is no structural give in the surface layer. The rhinestones sit on top of the fabric, so the underlying jersey is doing all the stretch work — it performs well, but only if the gown has the right starting room.
For shoes, a heel with an ankle strap or a block heel gives the best support for hours of standing and dancing. A stiletto on a slippery ballroom floor under a fitted gown is harder to manage than most people expect on the actual night.
Overall: yes, this gown is genuinely danceable. The jersey stretch, the boned bodice hold, and the front slit together make it one of the more practical choices in a fully-embellished fitted silhouette. Size correctly, plan for the train, and wear shoes you can actually move in.
Color perception is one of the trickiest parts of buying a gown online, and PS27131 makes it especially interesting because the hot-stone rhinestone surface changes how each colorway reads depending on the light source. Here is a practical breakdown of all four.
Black/Silver is the most photographically predictable of the four. The rhinestones catch flash and venue lighting in a way that reads as crisp silver against deep black. In person under warm event lighting, it can look slightly warmer than it does in photos — more champagne-silver than pure white-silver. It is the most versatile choice if you are unsure, and it photographs well in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Fuchsia is vibrant and intense in person. Studio photos sometimes flatten it slightly, but under event lighting the pink reads hot and electric. If you have seen photos where the fuchsia looked almost neon, that is accurate to real-life evening lighting. In natural daylight it is slightly softer. This is the colorway to choose if you want to be the most visually distinct person in the room.
Peacock is a rich blue-green that does something interesting under different lights — it can lean more teal in cooler light and shift toward a deeper jewel green under warmer light. Photos often cannot fully capture the depth of this colorway. If you are ordering Peacock, expect it to look richer and more complex in person than any product photo suggests. It is the most photogenic option for outdoor golden-hour shoots.
Rose Gold reads as a warm blush-pink with golden undertones in person. It is softer and more subtle than the Fuchsia, and the rhinestones pick up the gold tones beautifully under warm event lighting. In cooler or fluorescent light it can look more straightforwardly pink. It is the easiest of the four to accessorize with gold jewelry.
For group events like prom, all four colorways are distinct enough that multiple people in a group could wear PS27131 in different colors without visual overlap. If you are coordinating with a partner or court, the colorways pair well with each other and with neutral tuxedo colors across the board.
If you want to talk through which colorway makes the most sense for your venue lighting or your coloring, our team is happy to help — reach us by text or WhatsApp and we will walk you through it.
A fully rhinestone-covered gown needs careful handling after wear. The hot-stone embellishment is applied individually, and rough cleaning methods can loosen stones over time.
Spot cleaning is the right approach for minor marks — use a damp white cloth and gently blot rather than scrub. Do not apply any cleaning product directly to the rhinestone surface. For any significant staining, professional dry cleaning by a specialist who handles embellished gowns is the correct path. Make sure to tell the cleaner it is hot-stone embellishment so they use the appropriate handling.
For storage, hang the gown on a padded hanger inside a breathable fabric garment bag — not a plastic dry-cleaning bag, which traps moisture. Keep it in a cool, dry space away from direct light. The rhinestones on a dark colorway like Black/Silver will not fade, but lighter colorways like Rose Gold should be kept from prolonged sun exposure to prevent any subtle yellowing of the base fabric over time.
For travel, the best approach is to carry the gown flat in a garment box if you are flying, or hang it in a garment bag for a car trip. Rolling a rhinestone gown is not recommended — stones at fold points are more likely to catch and detach. If any stones do come loose, a small bottle of gem glue can handle spot repairs without a trip to the tailor.
The rhinestone surface of PS27131 is already doing a significant amount of visual work, so the goal with accessories is to complement rather than compete.
For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal in silver, gold, or a tone-matched metallic is the most natural pairing — the open design keeps the look proportional and does not add visual bulk at the hem. A nude or skin-tone heel in your colorway extends the leg line under the gown. Block heels and kitten heels also work well and give better stability for a full evening of wear, which matters more than most people plan for before the event.
For jewelry, the gown itself provides the sparkle — you do not need to add much. Stud earrings or small hoops in silver or gold keep the neckline area clean and let the sweetheart line read clearly. If you want to wear a statement earring, drop earrings in the same metallic family as your gown's rhinestones look intentional rather than competing. Skip heavy necklaces entirely — the sweetheart neckline and open back are meant to be the focal points, and a necklace cuts across both.
For Black/Silver, silver-toned accessories are the direct match. For Fuchsia, silver cools the look down beautifully. For Peacock, both gold and silver work — gold warms it up, silver keeps it cool and jewel-toned. For Rose Gold, gold-toned accessories are the natural pairing.
A small clutch in a neutral metallic or in a colorway-matched fabric rounds out the look cleanly.
The fitted sleek silhouette of PS27131 suits a range of figures, but the specifics of how it fits depend on your proportions.
The boned sweetheart bodice provides lift and definition through the bust without needing a bra, which works well for most cup sizes in the small-to-full range. The structured interior holds everything in place throughout the night, which is one of the main advantages of a boned strapless over an unboned one.
Through the waist and hips, the stretch jersey base gives the gown a fitted look while still accommodating curves. If you carry more volume through the hips and thighs relative to your waist, sizing to your largest measurement and having the waist taken in by a tailor gives a cleaner result than forcing the gown to your hip measurement from a smaller size.
The front high slit is practical for figures that need more room through the thigh — it creates walking room without changing the overall silhouette. The train at the back draws the eye downward and creates a long vertical line, which reads as elongating on most figures.
If you are petite, the length of the gown and the train can overwhelm a short frame — plan for significant hemming and confirm with your tailor whether the boning placement will need to be adjusted after shortening.
Marlas Fashions ships PS27131 from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto location. Standard delivery takes 7–12 business days to most destinations after the order is processed. Rush shipping is available if you have a tight event date — contact us before placing your order and we can confirm what expedited options are available for your location.
US and Canadian customers pay no duties on their orders. International shipping is available to most countries with full tracking provided throughout transit. If you are ordering from outside North America, delivery windows vary by destination — reach out before ordering and we can give you a realistic estimate for your country.
For events with a specific date, we recommend ordering as early as possible. A gown at this embellishment level may also benefit from a local tailoring appointment after arrival, so factor that lead time into your planning. Most tailors need at least one to two weeks for alterations on a fitted gown.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on PS27131. You have three options: a full store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different size or style, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The restocking fee reflects the handling and inspection required on embellished gowns, which take more time to process than plain dresses.
To be eligible for return, the gown must be unworn, unaltered, and in its original condition with all tags attached. Gowns that have been hemmed, altered, or worn to an event cannot be returned, so it is worth trying the gown on carefully at home before any alterations are made.
If you are ordering PS27131 specifically to try it at home before committing, that is a completely normal approach — many customers do this, especially for fitted embellished gowns where photos can only tell you so much. Just keep the gown on a flat surface or padded hanger while you are trying it, and avoid getting makeup or deodorant on the rhinestone surface, as that can affect return eligibility.
For questions about a specific return situation or to start the return process, reach out to our team and we will walk you through it directly. Text or WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach us: text +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp +1 213-868-3131.
The most immediate difference is the coverage. A lot of fitted prom gowns have a beaded or sequin bodice with a plain or lightly embellished skirt. PS27131 is hot-stone rhinestone coverage from the top of the bodice all the way to the hem — there is no plain section anywhere on the exterior. That continuous embellishment is genuinely unusual at a non-couture price point and is the main reason this gown reads the way it does under event lighting.
The stretch jersey base is also a differentiator. Many fully-embellished gowns use a stiffer base fabric that does not move well and can feel restrictive after a few hours. The jersey knit underneath the hot-stone surface gives PS27131 a level of wearability that heavier-based embellished gowns often lack.
The four available colorways — Black/Silver, Fuchsia, Peacock, and Rose Gold — are all distinct enough that this is not a one-option gown. The Peacock colorway in particular is rare in this category and gives a jewel-toned option that most comparable styles do not offer.
The combination of the boned sweetheart neckline, the front high slit, and the train also gives the gown a complete formal architecture that cheaper comparable styles often shortcut — you get structure where it matters, drama where it counts, and a finish that holds up to close-up photography.
