Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11225
Faviana 11225 is a floor-length mermaid gown in satin-finish jersey. It fits close to the body from the shoulders through the bust, waist, and hips, then flares below the knee into a sweep train. The front carries a clean, moderately deep V-neckline supported by thin spaghetti straps. The back opens from the shoulder blades down to the waist, with vertical ruching running along the centre back from waist to hip. No embellishments, no embroidery, no boning — the gown works entirely through fit, fabric, and silhouette.
Fit & Silhouette
The mermaid cut on Faviana 11225 is unforgiving in the best sense. It follows every curve from shoulder to knee, so the fit has to be right. Measure your bust, natural waist, and hips before ordering, and use Faviana's size chart to find your size. If you land between two sizes, go up — taking in extra fabric through the hip is straightforward; letting out a mermaid that is too small is not. The spaghetti straps are fixed length and not adjustable, so your torso length affects where the V-neckline sits. Most customers find this lands correctly without alteration, but if you have a notably long or short torso, contact us before ordering.
The gown relies on the stretch of the satin-finish jersey — not interior boning or shaping panels — to hold its sculpted line. The open back descends to the waist, so the straps carry the full weight of the gown from the shoulders. Fashion tape or a strap anchor at the chest is a simple fix if you plan to dance. The sweep train adds two to four inches of trailing length beyond the body hem; customers between five-seven and five-nine in a three-to-four-inch heel generally find the length correct without alteration.
Fabric & Detail
The fabric is a satin-faced stretch jersey — smooth, high-sheen on the outside, matte on the back, with enough give to move with the body through the hip and thigh without pulling. It drapes cleanly at the hem and holds the mermaid flare without structure. The surface reads as satin under photography and event lighting, which is what gives Faviana 11225 its visual weight despite having no embellishment.
The only decorative detail is the ruching along the centre back, running vertically from waist to hip. It is functional as much as visual: the gathered fabric creates tension that helps the gown track the contour of the body rather than shift. Viewed from the front and sides, the jersey is smooth and uninterrupted — the clean mermaid line depends on that. The ruching is a back detail; it rewards a second look rather than announcing itself.

Style & Occasion
Faviana 11225 is built for prom. The fitted mermaid silhouette, open back, and satin-finish jersey are engineered for high-visibility evenings — venues with strong lighting, event photography, and a formal dress code. It also works for evening galas, formal dances, and black-tie or black-tie optional events where the level of back exposure is appropriate.
The open back descends to the waist, making it best suited for evening galas, formal events, and black-tie receptions; for military balls, religious ceremonies, or conservative formal settings, a more covered style is usually the better choice. If your event requires a covered back, this is not the gown.
For styling: strappy heeled sandals or a pointed-toe pump echo the spaghetti straps and keep the leg line clean at the hem. The V-neckline and open back leave the shoulders and collarbones bare — drop earrings or simple studs work better than a statement necklace. A small clutch completes the look. Electric Blue reads saturated under stage lighting; Cherry commands attention in photographs; Dark Hunter Green is strong in warmly lit ambient settings. Light Pink and Purple are available but not yet independently photographed — contact us for colour confirmation before ordering either shade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting the size right in the Faviana 11225 matters more than it does with most gowns, because the mermaid silhouette leaves no room for a size that is too small — and very little room for a size that is significantly too large. The gown is cut to contour from the shoulders straight down through the bust, waist, and hips, and the fabric relies on the stretch of satin-finish jersey rather than structured boning or interior shaping panels to achieve its sculpted line.
Measure accurately before you order. You will need three measurements: bust at the fullest point of the chest, waist at the natural waist roughly an inch above the navel, and hips at the fullest point typically eight to ten inches below the natural waist. Faviana's size chart converts these measurements into a recommended size — use the chart on the product page or contact us for a copy. If your measurements place you between two sizes, always size up to the larger. Taking in a dress that is slightly large is significantly easier than letting out one that is too small, particularly through the hip and thigh of a fitted mermaid.
The spaghetti straps are fixed in length and not adjustable; your torso length will determine whether the V-neckline sits exactly where intended. Most customers find the fit lands correctly without alteration, but if you have a particularly long or short torso, note this when you enquire with us, and we can advise whether a designer alteration is available.
The open back begins at the shoulder blades and descends to the waist, meaning there is no high-back structure to pull the gown upward — the straps carry the full weight of the gown from the shoulders. This is worth noting if you are concerned about the gown shifting during dancing; a fashion tape or strap anchor applied to the chest is often all that is needed for security.
Regarding the train: the sweep train at the hem adds roughly two to four inches of trailing length beyond the body hem. Most customers at or near five feet seven to five feet nine inches will find the length correct in a heel of three to four inches. Shorter frames may need a hem alteration; taller customers rarely need adjustment. If your event involves significant movement on a dance floor, a light bustle stitch added by a seamstress is an easy solution.
The Faviana 11225 runs true to the Faviana standard size chart — no known fit anomaly causes this style to run systematically small or large.
The Faviana 11225 is primarily a prom gown, and it delivers on that purpose with confidence. The combination of a fitted mermaid silhouette, deep V-neckline, satin-finish jersey fabric, and dramatic open back adds up to a gown that is engineered for high-energy, high-visibility evenings where making a clear entrance matters. If your event is a prom, a formal evening gala, a charity ball with a formal dress code, or a pageant-adjacent occasion, the Faviana 11225 belongs in the conversation.
Prom and formal dances are the primary home for this gown. The floor-length mermaid, the sculptural back, and the sheen of the satin-finish jersey are all built for the kinds of venues, lighting rigs, and photography that characterise a formal dance event. If you are attending a black-tie or black-tie optional event, this silhouette is appropriate as long as you are comfortable with the level of back exposure — the gown is formal enough in length and construction to hold its own at an upscale venue.
Evening events and galas are a natural second context. The Faviana 11225 has the visual weight of a red-carpet gown without the volume of a ballgown; it photographs exceptionally well in both venue lighting and outdoor settings, and it carries its elegance without requiring accessories to complete the look.
The open back — which descends from the shoulder blades to the waist — is a key design feature to keep in mind; for wedding-guest occasions where mid-back coverage is expected, a wrap, bolero, or coordinating shawl can be a practical and elegant solution. It is similarly not ideal for religious ceremonies, graduation ceremonies that require a formal but conservative standard, or military ball dress codes where a covered back is part of the expectation. If you are attending a semi-formal event where a full-length floor-length gown would be out of place, this gown is also too formal in length and presence.
Colour and setting: the Electric Blue, Cherry, and Dark Hunter Green colorways all read differently under event lighting — Electric Blue saturates dramatically under blue-wash stage lighting; Cherry commands attention in photograph-heavy environments; Dark Hunter Green reads sophisticated and editorial in warmly lit, ambient settings. Light Pink and Purple are also available and may suit more romantic or vintage-themed formal events. If you are unsure whether the silhouette or a specific colorway is appropriate for a particular event or venue, the Marlas Fashions team is happy to discuss options — simply reach out before placing your order.
The Faviana 11225 is available in five colorways: Cherry, Dark Hunter Green, Electric Blue, Light Pink, and Purple. Three of these — Electric Blue, Cherry, and Dark Hunter Green — are represented in product photography, giving you an accurate sense of how the satin-finish jersey reads under different lighting conditions. Light Pink and Purple are listed in the product data but have not been independently photographed for this listing.
For Light Pink and Purple, the satin-finish jersey fabric will behave identically in terms of drape, stretch, and silhouette — the gown's construction does not change between colorways. However, the sheen level and the way each shade reads under venue lighting will differ. Pale shades like Light Pink tend to photograph softly and look luminous under warm lighting but can wash out under blue or white stage lighting; Purple typically reads richer in-person than in standard product photography.
Before ordering either of the unsampled colorways, we recommend requesting colour confirmation from our team — they can advise on current availability and provide any additional imagery if available. Colour accuracy on-screen also depends on monitor calibration, so if shade matching is critical, contact us first.
The back of the Faviana 11225 is deeply open, descending from the shoulder blades down to the waist — a span that eliminates conventional bra options entirely. The good news is that the spaghetti straps and the snug fit of the mermaid construction through the bust provide meaningful support, so most customers find the gown secure without a traditional bra.
The most common undergarment solution for this gown is a combination of adhesive bra cups or silicone stick-on cups positioned at the chest, secured with fashion tape at the sides. This approach maintains modesty at the front while leaving the back fully open as the gown intends. A plunge-back bra or a low-back bra converter can work for customers who prefer an undergarment with a band, provided the band sits at or below the waist so it does not appear in the back opening.
The ruching along the centre back is positioned at the waist and hip, well below the open area, so it does not interfere with undergarment placement. If you have specific undergarment concerns or a larger cup size that needs additional support, contact us before ordering — we can provide additional guidance.
The ruching on the Faviana 11225 is both structural and visual. It runs vertically along the centre back of the gown, starting at the waist and continuing through the hip — a positioning that serves two distinct purposes. From a structural standpoint, gathering the fabric at the waist and hip creates a natural point of tension that helps the gown follow the contour of the body rather than slipping or shifting. From a visual standpoint, the gathered ridge adds a textural contrast to the otherwise smooth, high-sheen satin-finish jersey, giving the back of the gown a focal point beyond the open skin exposure.
Because the ruching is centred at the back rather than distributed across the front or sides, it is not the first detail a viewer registers — the open back and the V-neckline take visual priority. The ruching reads as a finishing detail that rewards a closer look or a second glance.
There is no ruching on the front or sides of the gown. The front and side panels of the satin-finish jersey remain smooth and uninterrupted, which is what gives the silhouette its clean, sleek mermaid line when viewed from the front. Customers looking for an all-over gathered or ruched effect will not find it on this gown — the detail is precise and strategic rather than decorative for its own sake.
The Faviana 11225's spaghetti straps, V-neckline, and open back all point toward one styling principle: restraint in accessories. The gown does the work; accessories that compete with it will dilute rather than elevate the overall look.
For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal — whether stiletto or block heel — echoes the linear quality of the spaghetti straps and keeps the leg line visible at the hem. A pointed-toe pump in a complementary or neutral tone works equally well and can add a more polished, editorial quality. Platform heels can work if they are minimalist in design. Avoid ankle-strap styles if your hem is at floor length, as they can interrupt the clean line of the mermaid train.
For jewellery, the V-neckline and open back together leave the shoulders, collarbones, and back bare — this is the intended canvas. A single delicate pendant that rests just at the collarbone can work, but drop earrings or simple studs are often more balanced because they draw the eye upward without adding weight at the chest. A bracelet or cuff at the wrist is a natural complement. Avoid statement necklaces entirely — the neckline and open back are the necklace.
For a bag, a small structured clutch or a minimal envelope clutch in satin, metallic, or a colorway-matched tone completes the look without bulk.
Faviana 11225 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York for US orders, and from the Toronto warehouse for Canadian orders. Standard delivery takes 7–12 business days from the date of dispatch. Rush delivery options are available if your event date is approaching — contact us as early as possible if you need an accelerated timeline.
US and Canadian customers pay no import duties. International orders ship worldwide with full tracking, and delivery windows for international destinations vary by country — please allow additional time and contact us for a more specific estimate based on your location.
If you are ordering for a prom, formal event, or gala, we recommend placing your order at least six to eight weeks in advance of your event date. This gives you time to receive the gown, assess the fit, and arrange any local alterations if needed. Alterations are not included in the purchase price and are the customer's responsibility, but our team can advise on typical timelines.
For the fastest response on shipping timelines, rush availability, or specific delivery estimates, text or WhatsApp the Marlas Fashions concierge directly: text +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp +1 213-868-3131. We are available to walk you through the options and help you plan for your event.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on Faviana 11225 orders subject to the following terms. If your order does not work out, you have three options: store credit that never expires, a direct exchange for a different size or colorway, or a refund to your original payment method less a 30% restocking fee.
Store credit is the most flexible option for customers who are between events or planning a future purchase — it holds its value indefinitely and can be applied to any product in the Marlas Fashions range. Exchange is the practical choice if you need a different size; reach out to initiate an exchange as soon as possible after receiving your order so that your preferred size is still available.
The 30% restocking fee on refunds reflects the cost of inspecting, reprocessing, and returning the gown to inventory. Every dress that comes through Marlas Fashions is individually inspected before dispatch, and the same standard applies when a gown is returned. This is a cost-of-business reality we frame honestly: if a refund is what you need, you will receive it, minus the restocking fee.
To initiate a return or exchange on Faviana 11225, contact us as soon as possible after receiving the gown. Standard return conditions apply — the gown must be unworn, unaltered, and in original condition with all tags attached. We review every return on receipt and process it promptly.
