Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11216
Faviana 11216 is a long prom gown built around a boned corset bodice, a sweetheart neckline supported by thin spaghetti straps, and a ruched satin skirt that contours close to the body before flaring at the hem into a sweep train. The silhouette is fitted from neckline to thigh — not draped, not A-line, but body-close through every curve. The back is finished with a crisscross strap detail that adds structure and visual interest from behind. Four colorways are available: Black, Lipstick, Peacock, and Royal, all photographed across the seven product images.
Fit & Silhouette
This is a true fitted silhouette — it contours through the bust, waist, and hips before flaring below the knee into the sweep train. The boned corset bodice gives the torso real structure, which means fit has to be precise. Measure your full bust, natural waist, and fullest hip over bare skin, then size to the largest of the three measurements. The boning cannot stretch to accommodate, so undersizing creates a problem that tailoring cannot fix. If your measurements fall between sizes, size up and have the bodice brought in by a formal-wear tailor. Budget for a fitting appointment two to four weeks before your event. The sweep train is calibrated for heels in the three-to-four-inch range — discuss hem length with your tailor if you plan to wear lower heels.
Fabric & Detail
The fabric is a high-sheen satin with no surface embellishment — no sequins, no glitter, no lace overlay. The finish is clean and graphic, which means it reads clearly under event lighting and photographs with strong colour definition. Ruching runs through the skirt, shaping the fabric close to the body while adding texture to the surface. The satin's smooth finish shows undergarment lines, so seamless briefs or light compression shorts work best underneath. The boning channels are visible across multiple image positions — this is functional boning, not decorative stitching, and it provides genuine structural support through a full evening.
Key Features
- Boned corset bodice with visible boning channels — structural support without a bra for most bust sizes
- Sweetheart neckline with thin spaghetti straps
- Crisscross strap back detail
- Ruched satin skirt, fitted through the hips and thighs
- High front slit for ease of movement — clearly visible in the Lipstick full-length image
- Sweep train calibrated to a three-to-four-inch heel
- Available in Black, Lipstick, Peacock, and Royal
Style & Occasion
Faviana 11216 is built for prom, formal galas, evening events, and any occasion where the dress is expected to make a real statement. The fitted corset silhouette, high slit, and sweep train photograph dramatically — Royal and Lipstick are particularly strong under stage and ballroom lighting. This is a confident, forward-facing gown suited to formal and black-tie-adjacent events. It is not styled for understated occasions. For wedding guests attending in a formal capacity, the silhouette reads as event-forward; modest formal events may call for a different style. Style the open crisscross back with a strappy sandal heel, drop earrings at the sweetheart neckline, and hair worn up or partially pinned to show the back detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing Faviana 11216 correctly is the most important step you'll take before ordering, and the approach is straightforward once you understand how the fitted silhouette and boned corset interact with the body.
Start with three measurements taken over bare skin or seamless underwear: your full bust (measured across the fullest part), your natural waist (the narrowest point, typically an inch or two above the navel), and your fullest hip (measured around the widest part of your seat). Record all three in inches, then lay them against Faviana's published size chart — you'll almost certainly find that at least one measurement points to a different size than the others. Order for the largest of the three. The boned corset bodice can be taken in by any experienced formal-wear tailor; it cannot be let out, so undersizing creates an unfixable problem.
Faviana 11216 runs true to the brand's standard sizing. Women who find themselves between sizes consistently report better outcomes from sizing up and having the bodice brought in rather than sizing down and struggling at the waist or hip. The corset boning provides structural support through the torso, which means the fit has to be precise — there is no stretch or forgiveness in a boned bodice the way there is in a jersey or chiffon gown.
The fitted silhouette contours through the bust, waist, and hips before flaring below the knee. This is a true body-close fit from neckline to thigh — if you are carrying any measurement difference of more than an inch between bust, waist, and hip relative to the size chart, plan on alterations from the start rather than hoping the gown drapes perfectly off the rack. Budget for a fitting appointment two to four weeks before your event.
The sweep train is cut for heels between three and four inches in height. If you plan to wear lower heels or go barefoot at any point during the evening, discuss hem length with your tailor at the fitting — they can add a bustle or hem the train to a length that works for your shoes without altering the front.
For undergarments, the boned corset provides meaningful support for most bust sizes, and many women wear Faviana 11216 without a bra. Strapless adhesive cups are the most compatible option if additional coverage is preferred, since traditional bra straps would be visible through the crisscross back opening. Smooth, seamless briefs or light compression shorts work best under the ruched skirt to avoid visible lines under the satin.
If you have any questions about specific measurements, how a particular size has fit on a similar body type, or whether to size up or stay at your measured size, our team is here to help — reach out before you order rather than after.
Faviana 11216 is designed for high-impact formal occasions where the dress is expected to do real work — not simply fill a dress code, but define the look of the evening. The combination of a boned corset bodice, fitted silhouette, open crisscross back, and high front slit places this gown firmly in the category of statement formalwear rather than understated occasion dressing.
Prom is the primary occasion this gown was built for, and it delivers everything that context demands: structural support through a long evening, a silhouette that photographs dramatically, and enough colour choice to stand out in any palette. Royal and Lipstick are particularly strong under event lighting — both colorways read as vivid and intentional in photographs rather than washing out under stage or ballroom light.
Formal evening events — galas, charity balls, formal dances outside of the traditional prom calendar — are equally well matched to this silhouette. The sweep train adds a ceremonial quality that reads appropriately at black-tie-adjacent occasions, and the corset bodice signals a level of construction that elevates the gown above party dresses in the same price range.
Pageant-oriented events, formal military balls, and competitive dance presentations are all contexts where Faviana 11216 has a clear visual role — the fitted line is a strong silhouette for stage presentation, and the open back adds interest from every angle when the wearer is in motion.
The gown is not styled for occasions where modesty or subtlety is the expectation. The open back, high slit, and body-close fitted silhouette make Faviana 11216 a confident, forward-facing choice. For formal wedding-guest appearances, the silhouette reads as prom- and event-forward rather than wedding-appropriate; guests attending as members of a wedding party or in a more conservative formal capacity may find a different silhouette better suited to that context.
If you're deciding between Faviana 11216 and another style for an event with a specific dress code — black tie, creative black tie, formal, or semi-formal — the corset fitted reads best at true formal and above. At semi-formal events, the gown may read as overdressed depending on the venue and host expectations.
Not sure whether this gown works for your specific occasion? Text or WhatsApp our concierge at +1 416-536-2956 or +1 213-868-3131 — they can help you think through the fit, the event, and the colorway before you commit.
Faviana 11216 is available in four colorways: Black, Lipstick, Peacock, and Royal. Each is photographed across the seven product images, so you can assess the actual fabric finish and colour depth before ordering.
Black is the most versatile choice — graphic, high-contrast, and timeless under any lighting condition. It reads as sophisticated and deliberate rather than safe, and the boned corset and open back remain the focal point regardless of the backdrop.
Lipstick is a warm, saturated red. It photographs with high energy and reads as a statement under stage lighting and photography flash alike. Among the four options, Lipstick tends to draw the most immediate visual attention in a group setting.
Peacock is a deep jewel tone with cool undertones — somewhere between deep teal and rich blue-green depending on the light source. It reads as distinctive and considered; expect it to stand apart from both the classic reds and blues that dominate formal event floors.
Royal is a saturated blue — vivid and bold under event lighting. The Royal colorway is shown in both the front and back image positions, giving the clearest sense of how the satin finish and ruching interact with this particular hue.
All four colorways share the same construction, silhouette, and detail — the choice comes down entirely to personal palette preference and the colour story of your event. If you'd like a second opinion on which shade photographs best for your skin tone, reach out to the Marlas Fashions team before ordering.
The boned corset bodice of Faviana 11216 provides genuine structural support — the boning channels visible across multiple image positions are functional, not decorative. For most bust sizes in the small-to-medium range, the bodice holds the bust securely through a full evening without additional support.
For larger bust sizes (typically D cup and above), the level of support from the corset alone depends heavily on fit precision. If the bodice is correctly sized and taken in by a tailor to sit flush against the body at every point, the boning provides meaningful lift. If there is any gap between the bodice and the bust, that support is reduced. This is another reason why accurate sizing and a professional fitting appointment before the event are strongly recommended.
Traditional bras are not compatible with this construction. The crisscross open back means conventional bra bands and straps will be visible. The most practical options are strapless adhesive cups, a low-back adhesive bra, or seamless bra tape applied directly to the skin. If you normally wear a structured undergarment, bring it to your fitting appointment so the tailor can assess whether the bodice still fits correctly over it.
Under the ruched satin skirt, smooth seamless briefs or light bike shorts work best. The high-sheen satin finish shows lines from textured or seamed undergarments, so the smoother the undergarment, the cleaner the silhouette over the hip and thigh.
The high slit on Faviana 11216 is most clearly visible in the Lipstick full-length image (position 5) and in the Royal back-view image (position 2). It is a single front slit constructed with a clean finished edge that lies flat against the leg during normal standing and walking — there is no visible bulk or excess fabric at the opening.
In practice, the slit provides the freedom of movement that a body-close fitted silhouette would otherwise restrict. Walking, ascending stairs, and moving through a crowd all become significantly more comfortable than they would be in a fully closed fitted hem. Most wearers find the slit functions naturally without requiring any active management.
The sweep train extends behind the hem and is cut to fall gracefully at a heel height of approximately three to four inches. At lower heel heights or flat shoes, the train will extend slightly further behind the foot and may require more active awareness on stairs or in crowds. If you anticipate a setting where a full sweep train is impractical — a crowded venue, outdoor terrain, or a reception with dancing — discuss bustle options with your tailor at the fitting appointment. A simple button bustle attachment can lift the train for the dance portion of an evening and be released for photographs.
No special care is required for the slit during wear — it is not a wrap-style opening and does not require pinning or securing.
Faviana 11216 is built around three architectural focal points — the boned corset bodice, the crisscross open back, and the high front slit — and the most effective styling approach keeps accessories secondary to those details.
For footwear, a strappy sandal heel in the three-to-four-inch range works best both aesthetically and practically. The strap detail complements the thin spaghetti straps of the gown's back without competing, and the heel height is calibrated to the train length. Pointed-toe heels in satin or metallic leather keep the silhouette elongated through the high slit.
For jewellery, the sweetheart neckline is proportioned for drop earrings or statement studs — it creates its own frame across the décolletage that a necklace would interrupt. Skip the necklace entirely and let the neckline and bodice speak. A bracelet or cuff on one wrist is the most the look can carry without over-accessorising.
For bags, a satin or metallic clutch in a tone-on-tone shade — deep navy with Royal, black with Black, or gold with Lipstick — keeps the palette coherent. Avoid structured top-handle bags, which break the fluid line of the fitted silhouette.
Hair worn up or partially pinned away from the nape of the neck shows the open back and crisscross strap detail to its full advantage. Half-up styles also work. Fully down styles can cover the back detail, which is the most architecturally distinctive element of this gown.
Faviana 11216 ships from Marlas Fashions' Los Angeles and New York warehouses for US orders, and from the Toronto warehouse for Canadian orders. Standard delivery timelines are seven to twelve business days from the date your order is confirmed.
Rush delivery is available for time-sensitive orders — if your event date is approaching and you need the gown sooner than the standard window, note your event date in the order comments or contact the team immediately after placing your order so they can assess availability and expedited options.
US and Canadian orders ship with no duties or additional import fees. International orders ship with full tracking from dispatch to delivery; international customers should be aware that import duties and customs fees are the responsibility of the recipient and vary by destination country.
All orders are tracked from dispatch. You will receive tracking information once your order ships, and the team is available to follow up on any shipment that is delayed or requires clarification.
If you are ordering for a specific event date, account for the full twelve-business-day window plus time for any alterations. Ordering four to six weeks before your event is recommended to allow for shipping, fitting, and any tailoring work required.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on eligible items. The options available are store credit (which never expires and can be applied to any future purchase), an exchange for a different size or colorway, or a refund less a 30% restocking fee.
Store credit is the most flexible option for customers who plan to reorder — it carries no expiry and can be used across any product in the Marlas Fashions catalogue, making it the practical choice if you're between sizes or considering a different colorway.
Exchanges for size or colour are processed as quickly as inventory allows. If you're ordering Faviana 11216 and are uncertain between two sizes, the exchange option provides a safety net — though ordering the correct size from the start using Faviana's published measurements remains the most efficient path.
All dresses at Marlas Fashions are inspected before shipment to confirm they arrive in perfect condition. If a dress arrives with a defect or discrepancy from what was ordered, the team will resolve it promptly at no cost to you.
To initiate a return or exchange, contact Marlas Fashions directly with your order number and the reason for the return. The team will walk you through the process and confirm the applicable timeline based on when and how the dress was ordered.
