Description
About the Dress: Portia and Scarlett XO308
The Portia and Scarlett XO308 is a long, body-hugging gown built around vertical channels of hot-stone rhinestone embellishment that run from the neckline straight down to the hem. The silhouette is fitted through the bust, waist, and hips, with a dramatic high front slit and a sweep train that fans out at the floor. It is one of those dresses that is impossible to miss when you walk into a room — the rhinestone channels catch light from every angle and the clean, sculpted lines do the rest.
Fit & Silhouette
The Portia and Scarlett XO308 fits close to the body from the shoulders all the way through the hips. There is no waist seam that breaks up the line — the fitted silhouette runs continuously, so the dress looks sleek rather than structured. The high front slit allows full freedom of movement and gives the look an extra shot of drama without changing the overall narrow shape. The sweep train adds length in the back without weight, so it does not feel heavy to wear. Wide shoulder straps keep the gown secure and support the open back. Sizing runs consistent with standard Portia and Scarlett sizing — order your usual size first and confirm measurements against the designer's size chart before placing your order.
Fabric & Detail
The base of the XO308 is jersey — a stretch fabric that moves with the body and holds the fitted shape without feeling rigid. Over that base, vertical rows of hot-stone rhinestones run from top to bottom, covering the majority of the dress surface. The effect is dramatic without being heavy: the stones sit in defined channels rather than being scattered, which keeps the pattern graphic and intentional. The stones reflect light differently depending on the angle, so the dress reads differently under stage lighting, photography flash, and candlelight. Available in Fuchsia, Lilac, and Orange.

Style & Occasion
The Portia and Scarlett XO308 is built for moments where understated is not an option. It works for prom, pageant competition, formal galas, and evening events where the expectation is full glamour. The rhinestone channels photograph exceptionally well, which makes it a strong choice for any event with a stage, a red carpet, or a photographer. Style it with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewelry — the dress is the statement. For pageant wear, many clients skip the necklace entirely and let the stone embellishment carry the look. The open back means no traditional bra, so a low-back solution or built-in support will be needed. The gown is available in Fuchsia for a bold, high-energy look; Lilac for a softer but still striking option; and Orange for something genuinely unexpected on a formal floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Marlas Fashions offers three options if the XO308 is not the right fit when it arrives: a full store credit that never expires, an exchange for a different size or color, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The store credit option is the most flexible — it holds the full value of your purchase indefinitely, so you can apply it to any other dress whenever you are ready. The exchange option works well when you ordered one size and need the next one up or down. The refund with restocking fee is there for situations where none of the other options work, and the 30% is standard across the designer formal industry for made-to-order and designer inventory.
A few practical notes for trying on at home: keep the dress on a smooth surface when you first open it, do not remove tags until you are certain, and check the rhinestone channels carefully when you try it on — the stones are set in rows and should all be intact on arrival. If anything looks off when the package arrives, photograph it immediately and contact the store before wearing the dress. This keeps your return or exchange options fully open.
Because the XO308 is a fitted gown, fit at the hips is the most critical measurement. The concierge team is available by text at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131. Every XO308 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the XO308, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the XO308 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the XO308 in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs. Every XO308 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.
The XO308 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with a Toronto warehouse serving Canadian orders — so no cross-border duties apply for US or Canadian customers. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. If you have a firm event date, that window is the one to plan around: count backward from your event, allow a few days for any minor alterations, and place your order before that cutoff. Rush shipping is available if you are working with a tighter timeline. Just reach out before you order and the team can confirm whether rush is available for the XO308 in your size and color.
A few things that affect timing: the XO308 ships directly from designer inventory, so availability by color and size can shift quickly — especially in Fuchsia and Lilac, which tend to move faster closer to prom season. If you are between sizes or want to confirm stock before paying, contacting the store first is the most reliable approach. International orders outside the US and Canada also ship worldwide with full tracking, though delivery windows vary by destination. Every order includes a tracking number so you can follow the package from dispatch to your door. Every XO308 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.

Most rhinestone prom gowns scatter stones across the fabric or concentrate them at the bodice. The XO308 does something different — the hot-stones run in vertical channels from the neckline all the way to the hem, which creates a graphic, linear pattern rather than an all-over sparkle. That vertical structure makes the silhouette look longer and narrower, and the pattern stays readable in photography rather than blurring into a general shimmer. The fully open back also sets it apart from a lot of embellished gowns, which tend to use a covered or lace-up back to offset a flashy front. The XO308 is bold from every angle. The high front slit and the sweep train are both part of the original design, not add-ons, so the proportions are exactly right straight off the rack. It is a gown that was designed as a full statement from the start, not built up piece by piece.
The XO308 has a fully open back — there is no zipper, lace-up, or closure running down the back panel. The wide shoulder straps carry the structure of the gown, and the jersey base fabric provides enough stretch and recovery to hold the fitted shape securely without a back closure. This means the fit is determined almost entirely by your measurements at the bust and hips. There is no way to tighten or loosen the back after the fact the way a corset-back gown allows. For this reason, it is especially important to measure carefully before ordering. If you are between two sizes, size up — a seamstress can take in the side seams of a fitted gown, but you cannot add fabric where there is none. The open back also means the straps need to sit comfortably on your shoulders without digging in, so shoulder width is worth checking against the size chart as well.
Yes — the XO308 is available in Fuchsia, Lilac, and Orange, which gives a group flexibility to coordinate in a single color or mix across the three shades. For a prom group, matching in one colorway creates a strong visual. For a pageant court, the color split can help distinguish the title holder from the rest of the court — Fuchsia reads the most high-energy on stage, while Lilac and Orange are slightly more distinct from the standard prom palette. Because the gown is a fitted style, each person in the group should order based on their own measurements rather than a shared size. Fitted gowns vary more person to person than A-line or ballgown styles, so individual measurement checks will avoid surprises. If you are coordinating a group order, contacting the store directly is the fastest way to confirm that all sizes and colors are in stock before everyone places their individual orders.
The XO308 fits true to Portia and Scarlett's standard sizing. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare against the designer's size chart — do not go by clothing size alone, because formal sizing and ready-to-wear sizing are not the same. For this gown specifically, hip measurement is the most important number. The jersey base has some stretch, which helps with movement, but the fitted silhouette is designed to sit close to the body. If your measurements fall between two sizes, order the larger one. The high front slit gives you walking room, but the fabric across the hips and thighs fits snugly by design. If you are petite, the sweep train may need to be hemmed — a standard seamstress can shorten a jersey gown without difficulty.

The XO308 is designed for high-glamour formal occasions. It works for prom, pageant competition, formal galas, and evening events where the dress code calls for a full-length gown. The combination of rhinestone embellishment, open back, high slit, and sweep train makes it a strong stage dress — it photographs well under professional lighting and reads as a deliberate, polished look rather than a generic formal gown. For wedding-guest occasions, it suits evening and black-tie receptions best, where a more glamorous, fashion-forward look is welcome. It is the kind of dress you wear when you want to be the most memorable person in the room, which is exactly the right energy for prom and pageant.

The open back rules out a standard bra. The most practical solutions are a low-back bra converter, adhesive bra cups, or fashion tape at the chest. The jersey base of the gown provides some compression, and the fitted silhouette creates a smooth line on its own, so heavy shapewear under the hips is usually unnecessary and can create bulk. Seamless underwear or a thong works best to avoid lines under the fitted fabric. Adhesive body tape along the front neckline V is useful if you want extra security. Try the undergarment combination before your event so you know everything stays in place when you move, sit, and stand.
