Description
About the Dress: Portia and Scarlett PS27400C
Portia and Scarlett PS27400C is a floor-length fitted gown covered entirely in beading from the bodice down to the hem. The neckline sits off the shoulder with a curved sweetheart edge along the bust, and cascading crystal fringe falls from the off-shoulder line across the upper body. Floral and bow appliqués are scattered throughout the beaded surface, adding dimension and detail at every angle.
Fit & Silhouette
PS27400C follows a close-fitted silhouette that hugs the body through the bust, waist, and hips all the way to the floor. It is not a mermaid — there is no flare point — just a straight, sleek line from top to hem. The cut is body-conscious and the fit is designed to show the figure. This style runs true to size; if you are between sizes, sizing up gives more room through the hips and makes the gown easier to move in.
Fabric & Detail
The foundation of PS27400C is a mesh base that is fully covered in beading — there is no plain panel anywhere on this gown. Crystal fringe cascades from the off-shoulder sleeve area, catching the light with every step. Floral and bow appliqués are built into the beaded surface throughout. The entire back is open, cutting low past the mid-back with no fabric coverage, so the beading and fringe are the only thing framing the back. The beading runs top-to-bottom, qualifying this dress as fully beaded.
Key Features
- Floor-length fitted silhouette
- Off-shoulder sweetheart neckline
- Mesh base fully overlaid in beading
- Cascading crystal fringe from off-shoulder line
- Floral and bow appliqués throughout
- Full open back — entire back is bare
- Fully beaded from bodice to hem

Style & Occasion
Portia and Scarlett PS27400C is built for high-impact events where the dress needs to stand on its own. It is a strong choice for prom, pageant, formal galas, and evening events where full-length beaded gowns are the standard. The open back and crystal fringe make it ideal for any room or stage with dramatic lighting. Because the back is fully open and the fit is overtly body-conscious, this gown is not suited to wedding-guest contexts. Pair it with a strappy metallic heel to keep the focus on the gown itself, and keep jewelry minimal — small drop earrings or none at all, since the fringe and beading do the work. It is available in Ivory/Nude and Nude/Silver. The Nude/Silver colorway photographs particularly well under stage or ballroom lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions
PS27400C is a close-fitted silhouette that runs from the off-shoulder neckline straight to the floor without a dramatic flare or A-line skirt. That means it works best when the fit through the hips and thighs is accurate — the beaded mesh construction has minimal stretch, so the fit needs to be right at the point of purchase rather than relying on give in the fabric.
For body type: this gown photographs exceptionally well on taller frames and on anyone with a defined waist-to-hip ratio, because the straight silhouette and the vertical line of the beading elongate the body. For petite customers, this style can absolutely work, but it is worth asking about hem alterations at the time of order — a gown this heavily beaded is difficult and expensive to alter at the hem after the fact, so ordering with the correct length in mind saves time and cost. For curvy or plus-proportioned figures, the key is hip measurement: size to the hip and expect the waist to need a slight take-in if needed, because the beading and the fitted cut require the right circumference to sit correctly.
On comfort for the night: because the entire surface is beaded and there is no stretch panel, movement is somewhat restricted compared to a jersey or chiffon gown. You can absolutely dance in this dress, but wide strides are limited by the fitted hem. Most customers who wear this style describe it as something you wear with intention — you move with awareness, which actually tends to improve posture and presence on a stage or dance floor. The fringe at the off-shoulder area moves freely, which adds motion without requiring the body to do so.
The open back means there is no fabric pulling across the back, which actually makes this gown more comfortable through the torso than a fully enclosed fitted gown. Undergarment planning is important here — see the undergarment FAQ — but once the fit is confirmed, customers consistently report that the gown stays in place well through the night.
Portia and Scarlett PS27400C is photographed in Nude/Silver. It is also available in Ivory/Nude, which is a softer, lighter option for customers with very fair or warm skin tones.
Because PS27400C is already doing a lot — beading top to bottom, cascading crystal fringe, floral appliqués — the goal with accessories is to complement without competing. The dress is the statement, and everything else should stay quiet.
For shoes, a strappy metallic sandal in silver or champagne is the most natural choice. The fringe hem means a chunky or platform sole can sometimes get lost visually, so a slender-strapped heel or a simple pointed-toe stiletto keeps the line clean. If you prefer a lower heel, a metallic kitten heel in silver works well and still reads formal. Avoid anything with a lot of embellishment on the shoe itself — you don't want two heavily decorated things competing at the bottom of your look.
For jewelry, the off-shoulder neckline and the crystal fringe that falls from it already frame the décolletage completely. You genuinely do not need a necklace. If you want something at the ear, a small drop earring in crystal or silver is enough — something that catches the light without adding bulk. Chandelier earrings or large hoops will fight with the fringe rather than work with it. Skip the bracelet and rings on the night itself; the beading on the sleeve area already covers the wrist zone.
For a bag, a small silver or champagne clutch — smooth satin or metallic leather, no additional beading or sequins — keeps the look polished. A heavily decorated minaudière clutch next to this gown reads as too much.
Hair up or hair back is almost always the better choice with an off-shoulder neckline and an open back. Wearing hair down covers the back exposure and hides the detail that makes this dress special. A sleek updo, a low twisted bun, or even a high ponytail lets the neckline, fringe, and open back all read as intended.
In short: lean into minimalism with everything you add. The Portia and Scarlett PS27400C is built to be the focal point of the room, and the cleanest styling choices let it do exactly that.
Marlas Fashions ships PS27400C from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days after your order is processed. Rush shipping is available if you need the gown sooner — just contact us at the time of order and we will confirm the fastest option available for your location.
We ship across the United States and Canada with no duties or import fees on either side of the border. Canadian orders ship from our Toronto warehouse. International shipping is also available with full tracking on every order, so you can follow your gown from the warehouse to your door.
If your event date is close, reach out before you place your order and we will confirm what is in stock and the fastest realistic delivery timeline for your region. We never want you to order a gown that won't arrive in time, so we are straightforward about what is achievable. Tracking details are sent as soon as your order ships.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on PS27400C for store credit, an exchange, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so if the gown doesn't work for this event, you can apply it to a future purchase without a deadline.
When the dress arrives, try it on carefully without removing tags and without wearing it in a way that could mark or damage the beading or fringe. If the fit is off, contact us promptly — the sooner you let us know, the more options we can offer. We inspect every dress before it ships so you receive it in perfect condition, and we ask that it be returned in the same condition.
If you are unsure about sizing before you order, we strongly recommend reaching out to us first. We can walk you through the measurements for PS27400C and help you choose the right size based on your specific measurements, which reduces the chance of a return significantly. A gown this heavily beaded has limited alteration options at the hem and side seams, so getting the size right upfront is always the better path.
Most fully beaded gowns at this level commit to either embellishment or silhouette — PS27400C does both at once. The beading is not a surface pattern applied over a plain gown; it is the entire construction. The mesh base is completely covered, and then crystal fringe and floral bow appliqués are built on top of that beaded layer. You are looking at three levels of detail — base beading, fringe movement, and three-dimensional appliqués — rather than the flat allover beading you see on most comparable styles.
The off-shoulder line with the sweetheart curve is also a specific construction choice that sets this apart from the standard strapless or thin-strap beaded gown. The fringe falls naturally from the off-shoulder edge, which means the dress has movement at the top rather than just at the hem. Under ballroom or stage lighting, that fringe catches light differently at every angle.
The fully open back is another distinguishing feature. Many heavily beaded gowns have a partially open or illusion back to keep coverage. PS27400C commits to a full open back, which is a specific style statement and one that photographs dramatically from behind.
PS27400C has a full open back — the entire back of the gown is bare from the neckline down past the mid-back. The closure sits at the lower back and is built into the beaded construction. Because this gown is so heavily structured through the beaded and mesh layers, it holds its shape without a traditional lace-up or corset back.
Adjustment options are limited precisely because the construction is beaded throughout. There are no lace-up panels or zipper-and-hook adjustments that allow significant size variation the way a corset back would. This is why ordering to your correct measurements — particularly your hip circumference — is important with this style. If you are unsure whether to size up or stay at your measured size, sizing up is the safer call. Contact us and we will help you work through the measurements before you order. Our concierge team is available by text at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 and can walk you through the fit details for this specific gown.
PS27400C works well as a feature gown for a prom queen, pageant contestant, or quinceañera honoree who wants to stand out from the court. Because the fully beaded construction and the fringe detail are both distinctive, it reads as a soloist gown rather than a group gown — that is actually an advantage when the goal is visual separation between the honoree and the court.
For a damas or bridal party coordination, the best approach is to choose damas gowns in a complementary silhouette that pick up the Nude/Silver or Ivory/Nude palette in a simpler fabric — chiffon or satin in champagne or silver — so the group reads as coordinated without the court overpowering the lead gown. A fully beaded court next to a fully beaded honoree creates visual noise; a simpler court next to PS27400C makes the lead gown land harder.
If you are coordinating a large group and need guidance on quantities and timing, contact us early. Popular colorways at peak season can have limited stock, and ordering the court gowns at the same time as the feature gown ensures consistent color matching across the order.
The fully open back on PS27400C makes traditional bra straps and standard underwire bras incompatible with this gown — any back strap will be visible. The gown has built-in structure through the beaded bodice, which provides a degree of support on its own, but most customers with a larger bust will want additional options.
A low-back bra converter — a strap extension that drops the bra closure to the lower back — is one option if you need more support and want the convenience of a traditional underwire. Adhesive bra cups or stick-on silicone inserts are another popular choice for this style; they provide lift without any visible hardware. For customers who prefer more coverage or support than adhesives alone, a low-back bodysuit cut specifically for open-back gowns can work if the neckline of the bodysuit sits lower than the off-shoulder line of the gown.
For the bottom half, seamless or low-rise underwear in a nude or champagne tone is the right call — the fitted beaded skirt will show any underwear line through the fabric, so smooth coverage matters. Spanx-style shorts in a nude tone are a practical choice if you want smoothing through the hip and thigh.
If you have specific questions about support options based on your size, reach out before you order and we can discuss what customers at that size have found works well with this construction.
