Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11500
Faviana 11500 is a short strapless cocktail dress built around a structured corset bodice and a triple-tiered chiffon ruffle skirt. The bodice features clearly visible boning channels beneath a sheer mesh layer, giving the silhouette real shape and support without a separate undergarment. Beaded and sequined floral appliqués cascade from the bust down to the waist, covering the entire front of the bodice with dimensional floral embellishment. From the waist, three layers of lightweight chiffon flare outward in a fit-and-flare shape that moves easily and photographs beautifully. Faviana 11500 is available in Black, Bubblegum Pink, Ink Blue, and Red.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana 11500 sits at a short length and uses the boned corset structure to define the waist sharply before releasing into the tiered skirt. The sweetheart neckline frames the décolletage, and the strapless cut keeps the shoulders bare. The boning holds the bodice firmly in place so the dress does not shift during wear. The tiered chiffon skirt hits above the knee with enough volume to move freely. The back is fully open above the lace-up crisscross closure, which allows the fit to be adjusted after the dress is on — tighten or loosen the lacing to dial in the waist fit precisely.
Fabric & Detail
The skirt of Faviana 11500 is cut in lightweight chiffon, layered into three tiers that create the ruffle effect. The bodice interior is boned with visible channels; a sheer mesh panel sits over the boning to give the corset structure its finished look. The surface embellishment consists of beaded and sequined floral appliqués with embroidery detailing — these cover the full front of the bodice from the sweetheart neckline down to the waistline. The combination of structured boning, delicate chiffon, and beaded florals gives this dress a clear contrast between its architectural top and its soft, layered skirt.

Style & Occasion
Faviana 11500 works best for homecoming dances, semi-formal events, cocktail parties, after-prom gatherings, and grade-8 graduations. The bold floral bodice and flirty ruffle skirt make it an easy choice when you want something that stands out on a dance floor without being overly formal. Black is the most versatile colorway and pairs with gold or silver accessories equally well. Bubblegum Pink and Red both read as statement colors that work well with neutral shoes and minimal jewelry. Ink Blue has a deeper, more evening-appropriate tone that pairs well with gold accessories. Because the back is fully open above the lace-up, this dress works best with a strapless or adhesive bra, or worn without — the boning provides enough structure to go without additional support for many body types. Marlas Fashions is an authorized Faviana retailer with over 40 years in the industry, and every dress is inspected before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
The beaded floral bodice on Faviana 11500 is already doing a lot visually, so the goal with accessories is to complement it without competing. For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal is the most versatile choice — metallic gold or silver works across all four colorways (Black, Bubblegum Pink, Ink Blue, Red), and a nude or clear heel keeps the focus on the dress. Block-heeled sandals are a practical option for a long dance night since they give you height without the instability of a stiletto. For the Black colorway, a pointed-toe pump in black or silver reads very clean. For Red and Bubblegum Pink, a nude or clear heel prevents the look from feeling too busy at the bottom. For Ink Blue, gold strappy heels tie in beautifully with gold jewelry.
For jewelry, the sweetheart neckline and open back make drop earrings the natural focal point — a pair of crystal or gold drops frames the face without adding clutter at the neckline. Because the bodice already has heavy embellishment from the beaded floral appliqués, skip the necklace entirely or choose a very delicate chain if you feel bare without one. Stacking multiple necklaces over the sweetheart neckline will fight the appliqués and look overdone. A simple bracelet or thin bangle is fine, but again, keep it minimal.
For a clutch or bag, a small metallic envelope clutch in gold or silver carries the accessories through consistently. Avoid oversized bags or crossbody straps that would interrupt the open-back detail — the back of this dress is one of its best features.
For hair, an updo or a high ponytail works especially well with the open back and strapless neckline, showing off both the sweetheart front and the full back construction. Loose waves work too, but pulling the hair up lets the dress speak for itself from every angle.
Overall, the rule with Faviana 11500 is: let the beaded bodice lead and keep everything else clean and simple.
Faviana 11500 is one of the more universally flattering short dress silhouettes because it uses a structured boned corset bodice to define and cinch the waist, then releases into a tiered ruffle skirt that adds volume below the waist without clinging to the hips or thighs. That combination — a defined waist with a full skirt — works especially well for hourglass, pear, and petite body types.
If you are hourglass: the boning will hold your natural waist shape, and the sweetheart neckline frames your bust in a proportional way. The tiered skirt balances the hip line without adding unnecessary bulk.
If you are pear-shaped: the fitted corset top draws attention to the upper body and waist, while the flared ruffle skirt skims over the hips rather than hugging them. This is one of the most flattering silhouette choices for a pear figure at a short length.
If you are petite: short fit-and-flare dresses tend to work very well because the volume of the skirt is proportional to a smaller frame. If you are very petite, you may want to pair this with a higher heel to elongate the leg, since the skirt's volume can make legs look shorter on a very small frame.
If you are athletic or straight-framed: the boning creates the illusion of a waist curve that may not be as pronounced naturally, and the ruffle skirt adds hip volume for a more defined silhouette overall.
If you carry more weight in the midsection: the open-back crisscross lace-up closure is a real advantage here — you can adjust the tightness of the corset precisely to your comfort level after putting the dress on. The boning provides support and a smooth line across the bodice front.
For bust support: the boning in the bodice is substantial enough that most customers wear this dress without a bra. A strapless adhesive bra is the right choice if you want additional support, since the open back rules out a traditional bra with a back band.
Sizing tip: if you are between sizes, size up and use the lace-up closure to take in the waist — a looser bodice is much harder to fix than one that laces snugly.
Faviana 11500 ships in 7 to 12 business days as standard. Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with a Toronto warehouse serving Canadian customers. There are no import duties on orders to the United States or Canada — the price you see is what you pay at checkout, with no surprise fees on delivery.
Rush shipping is available if you have a specific event date coming up and need the dress sooner. When you place your order, there is an option to select expedited processing, or you can reach out to the Marlas Fashions concierge team directly before ordering to confirm the fastest available shipping window for your location.
International orders outside the US and Canada also ship worldwide with full tracking on every order. Delivery windows for international destinations vary by region, so if you are ordering from outside North America and have a firm event date, reaching out in advance to confirm the timeline is recommended.
Once your order ships, you will receive tracking information so you can follow the package in transit. If you have a specific event date, include it in a note at checkout — the team pays attention to event dates when processing orders.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on unworn dresses. If the dress arrives and the fit is not right, you have a few options: exchange it for a different size, receive store credit that never expires, or return it for a refund minus a 30% restocking fee.
The store credit option is worth knowing about — it never expires, so if you return the dress and are not ready to order a replacement immediately, the credit stays on your account until you need it. The exchange route is the most straightforward if you simply need a different size in the same style.
For fit-related uncertainty before ordering: the crisscross lace-up back on Faviana 11500 gives you meaningful adjustability in the waist after the dress is on, so minor fit differences between your measurements and the size chart can often be resolved at the closure rather than requiring a return. If you are genuinely between sizes, the general guidance is to size up and rely on the lacing to bring in the waist.
If you have questions about whether a specific size will work for your measurements before placing an order, the concierge team can walk you through the size chart in detail.
The main thing that separates Faviana 11500 from a standard short strapless dress is the combination of a genuinely boned corset bodice — not just a lightly structured top — and the beaded, sequined floral appliqués that cover the entire bodice front from neckline to waist. Most short strapless dresses at this price point use light boning or just a simple sewn-in bodice. Faviana 11500 has clearly visible boning channels beneath the sheer mesh overlay, which means the dress holds its shape independently and provides real support without needing an undergarment.
The skirt is a triple-tiered chiffon ruffle rather than a single-layer skirt or a simple gathered skirt — the layers give it movement and visual depth that photographs especially well. The open back with a crisscross lace-up closure is a practical design detail that lets you adjust the fit precisely at the waist after putting the dress on, which is genuinely useful for a boned bodice that needs to sit correctly to look right.
The beaded floral appliqués with embroidery are applied across the full bodice, not just as a trim at the neckline. That level of embellishment, combined with the structured corset construction, puts Faviana 11500 closer in quality and presence to a pricier formal dress than most cocktail dresses at the same length.
The back of Faviana 11500 has a crisscross lace-up closure that runs from just above the waist up through the open back. The upper back is fully exposed above the lacing — this is a deliberate design detail, not a gap in coverage. The lacing criss-crosses through loops or eyelets and ties at the top or bottom depending on preference.
In practical terms, this closure is one of the most adjustable on any short cocktail dress. Once the dress is on and zipped or laced loosely, you can tighten the lacing incrementally to bring the bodice in at the waist until it sits exactly where you need it. This is particularly useful if you are between standard sizes — the lace-up compensates for the gap in a way that a standard zipper cannot.
One thing to keep in mind: because the full upper back is exposed above the lacing, this dress does not work with a traditional bra. A strapless adhesive bra is the right undergarment choice if you want support beyond what the boning provides. The boning in the bodice is substantial, and many wearers find it sufficient on its own.
Yes — Faviana 11500 works well as a group or court dress because it is available in four distinct colorways: Black, Bubblegum Pink, Ink Blue, and Red. A court or group can each choose a different color for a coordinated-but-individual look, or a full group can match in one color for a uniform appearance.
For a homecoming court specifically, Black and Red are the most popular choices for a formal, polished court presentation. Bubblegum Pink and Ink Blue work well for groups that want something more distinctive or that are matching a school color scheme.
When ordering for a group, it is worth placing all orders at the same time to ensure consistent dye lot availability across the group's sizes. If you need multiple dresses in the same color, reaching out to the Marlas Fashions concierge team ahead of placing the order lets them confirm current stock levels across sizes and colors, which helps avoid a situation where one size in a specific colorway is on a longer lead time than the rest. Contact us directly by texting us at +1 416-536-2956 or messaging us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 - our luxury dress concierge is ready to help.
Faviana 11500 runs close to standard US sizing, but the boned corset bodice means the fit is more precise than a soft dress — there is less stretch or give in the bodice, so your measurements matter more than usual. The most important measurements for this dress are your bust and your natural waist, since the corset structure cinches at the waist and the sweetheart neckline frames the bust.
If your bust and waist are close to the same standard size, order that size. If your bust measurement puts you at a larger size than your waist, size to your bust and use the crisscross lace-up closure to take in the waist. Sizing down to fit the waist and then finding the bodice too snug across the bust is a harder problem to fix than having a slightly loose waist that the lacing can address.
For the skirt: the tiered chiffon construction is not fitted, so the hip and thigh measurements are not a fit concern the way they would be for a fitted or mermaid silhouette. The skirt flares freely from the waist.
If you are unsure between two sizes after measuring, size up. The lace-up closure gives you real room to adjust.
