Description
About the Dress: Faviana 11627
Faviana 11627 is a strapless long mermaid gown built on a tulle base with floral lace appliqués scattered across the bodice and skirt. The silhouette fits close through the bust, waist, and hips, then flares dramatically below the knee into a trumpet skirt with a sweep train. The structured boned bodice holds its shape without straps, and the full open back with lace-up crisscross straps makes the rear view just as striking as the front. This is a standard-size Faviana style available in Dark Hunter Green, Light Pink, Light Yellow, and Navy.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana 11627 follows a true mermaid-trumpet line: it contours the body from the strapless neckline all the way through the hips, then breaks into a full flare below the knee. The boned bodice is structured to stay in place and gives a defined, sculpted shape at the waist without needing straps or a full corset back. The trumpet skirt adds volume at the hem and gives the gown its dramatic movement when you walk. The sweep train extends behind you without requiring a bustle. This silhouette works especially well if you want a fitted look that still moves and photographs with impact. The mermaid cut is most flattering when the gown is taken in to fit your exact measurements, so Faviana's standard size chart is your starting point and alterations are common for the best result.
Fabric & Detail
The base of Faviana 11627 is tulle — a lightweight sheer fabric that gives the skirt its airy, layered look while keeping the gown structured from underneath. Floral lace appliqués cover the majority of the bodice and scatter across the tulle skirt in a pattern that gets denser toward the top and more open toward the hem. The lace detail is the defining surface treatment of this gown: the flowers are dimensional enough to catch the light and give the dress texture without relying on beading or sequins. The back features exposed crisscross lace-up straps that span the upper back while leaving the entire back bare from the shoulder blades to the waist — a clean, architectural detail that works as a design feature rather than just a closure.

Style & Occasion
Faviana 11627 is built for prom, and the silhouette and construction give it a statement presence at any important occasion. The strapless mermaid cut and full open back make this a statement gown — it reads as confident and dramatic rather than understated. Navy is a versatile deep option that photographs well in low light. Dark Hunter Green is a bold, unexpected choice that stands out in a crowd. Light Yellow is fresh and luminous under event lighting. Light Pink is soft but still dramatic in the mermaid silhouette. For accessories, a simple drop earring or ear cuff works well with the open back — a necklace competes with the clean strapless neckline, so keep the neck bare or minimal. A strappy heel or pointed-toe sandal pairs naturally with the trumpet hem. Because the open back is a central design feature, a wrap or cover-up will obscure it — plan accordingly for the venue.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is one of the most common concerns with a mermaid gown, and it's a fair one. Faviana 11627 is fitted through the hips, which does mean your stride is naturally shorter than in an a-line or ballgown. That said, the trumpet flare begins below the knee, and once that skirt opens up, you have real movement from mid-shin down. Most people who wear mermaid gowns adjust quickly — you take slightly smaller steps, and within the first hour it feels natural.
The tulle base fabric is lighter than it looks. Tulle has some give, and the layers in the skirt don't trap heat the way a heavy satin or velvet would. The boned bodice is structured, but Faviana builds their boning to support rather than compress — the goal is shape, not restriction. If your bodice is altered to fit your exact measurements (which we always recommend), it will sit against your body cleanly without digging or shifting as you move.
For dancing specifically: slow dances and posed group photos are no problem at all. Fast-paced floor dancing is doable but you'll be taking smaller steps and letting the flare do the work below the knee. The sweep train is the one thing to be mindful of — it follows behind you and can be stepped on if you're in a tight crowd. Some people tuck the train or loop it around the wrist during high-energy dancing, which works fine on a tulle gown.
The open back with crisscross lace-up straps is worth mentioning here too. Because the straps cross the upper back rather than connecting at the neck, your arms have full range of motion. You won't feel any pulling across the shoulders when you raise your arms or dance.
Fit is the single biggest factor in how comfortable a mermaid gown feels on the night. A mermaid that's too tight in the hips will feel like a second skin and restrict movement significantly. A mermaid that's taken in properly — snug but not constricting — moves with you. We recommend ordering to your hip measurement and having the waist and bust taken in by a tailor if needed. Most formalwear alterations shops deal with this exact adjustment regularly.
If you have questions about fit before you order, our team is happy to help you choose the right size and talk through what to expect — text or call us at any time.
The four colors in Faviana 11627 — Dark Hunter Green, Light Pink, Light Yellow, and Navy — each read differently depending on the lighting at your event, your skin tone, and your overall vision for the night. Here's a straightforward breakdown of each.
Dark Hunter Green is a deep, saturated jewel tone. In person it's richer than most digital screens show — it has a depth that photographs beautifully in both indoor event lighting and outdoor settings. It's one of the more unexpected color choices for prom, which means you're less likely to see another person in the same color. The floral lace appliqués show up clearly against the dark base because the tulle is sheer enough to let the lace texture read against the color underneath.
Light Pink is soft but not pastel-pale in person. The tulle layering gives it a dimensional quality — it reads as slightly warmer up close than it does in flat photos. Light Pink works across a wide range of skin tones and photographs cleanly under standard event lighting. If you're coordinating with a partner or a group, light pink is one of the most versatile options for pairing.
Light Yellow is luminous under both natural and warm artificial light. It can read as cream or champagne in lower lighting, and as a true soft yellow in brighter settings. It's a strong choice if you want something that feels fresh and slightly unexpected without going as bold as green. In person the lace appliqués on light yellow have a delicate contrast that looks very refined.
Navy is the most classic of the four options. It's a true deep navy — not black, not royal blue — and it photographs with strong contrast. Navy is forgiving under different lighting conditions, which makes it a reliable choice if you're unsure about the venue's setup.
For skin tone guidance: deeper skin tones tend to look stunning in all four, with dark green and navy creating particularly high impact. Fair and light skin tones often photograph best in navy or light yellow. Medium skin tones are versatile across the board.
If you're torn between two colors, our team can talk you through it in more detail. We've seen all four in person and can give you an honest read based on your situation.
Faviana 11627 is a tulle gown with lace appliqués, and both materials require gentle handling. For spot cleaning after the event, use a damp cloth and very mild soap on any surface marks — work gently and blot rather than rub to avoid disturbing the lace. For a full clean, take it to a dry cleaner with experience in formal or bridal gowns. Make sure to tell them it has both tulle and lace surface appliqués so they handle it accordingly. Avoid machine washing or home steam cleaning.
For storage, hang the gown on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag — avoid plastic dry-cleaning bags for long-term storage since they can trap moisture. If you need to pack it for travel, fold the skirt loosely with tissue paper tucked into the layers to prevent hard creases in the tulle. The boned bodice should not be tightly compressed. Lay the bodice flat or fold it once at most. A carry-on or garment bag that travels flat is the best option for keeping the gown in the best shape possible for your event.
The open back is the focal point of Faviana 11627, so accessories should frame it rather than compete with it. For jewelry, drop earrings or ear cuffs work well with the bare neckline — a necklace tends to clutter the clean strapless neckline, so keep the neck bare or go with very small studs if you prefer. A slim bracelet or a delicate wrist cuff is a good way to add detail without overwhelming the lace appliqués.
For shoes, the trumpet hem and sweep train sit close to the floor, which means your footwear will mostly be hidden while you're standing or walking. A strappy heeled sandal or a pointed-toe stiletto in metallic or a color that matches your gown are all practical choices. The hem length is designed for a moderate heel — roughly 3 to 4 inches — so if you plan to wear flats or very low heels, keep that in mind when deciding whether to have the hem altered. A heel that's much taller than 4 inches can cause the front hem to drag. Comfortable but elevated footwear is the practical choice for a long evening.
Faviana 11627's mermaid-trumpet silhouette is most commonly associated with hourglass or pear-shaped figures because the close fit through the hips naturally accentuates curves. That said, it works across a wider range of body types than people often expect. If you have a longer torso, the boned bodice is structured enough to create definition at the waist even without a natural waist indentation. If you have a fuller hip, the mermaid flare starting below the knee gives a balanced proportion — the skirt adds volume exactly where it doesn't compete with the fitted upper portion.
For petite figures, the uninterrupted vertical line of the mermaid silhouette has a lengthening effect, especially in darker colorways. The strapless neckline keeps the upper body open and uncluttered. For athletic or straighter figures, the boning in the bodice creates shape, and the lace appliqués add visual texture that reads as dimensionality. If you have any specific fit concerns, we're happy to help you think through sizing and whether this silhouette will work for your frame before you order.
Faviana 11627 ships from our Los Angeles and New York warehouses, with Canadian orders fulfilled from Toronto — no duties on US or Canadian shipments. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is placed. If your event is coming up quickly, rush shipping is available — contact us before placing your order so we can confirm availability and turnaround for your specific date. We ship worldwide with full tracking on every order, so you'll be able to follow your gown from warehouse to door. If you have a firm event date, let us know and we'll help you figure out the right shipping option. Reach our concierge team by text at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131. Every 11627 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 11627, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the 11627 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns for store credit that never expires, exchanges, or a refund less a 30% restocking fee. We recommend ordering early enough to allow time for a try-on before your event — that way if you need to exchange for a different size or colorway, you have the runway to do it. Store credit is the most flexible option if you're still deciding, since it rolls forward with no deadline. If you want to discuss your specific situation before ordering — for example, if you're deciding between two sizes or two colors and want to hedge — our team is happy to walk you through the best approach before you place your order so you're not caught off guard by timing. Every 11627 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 11627, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the 11627 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick.
Most strapless lace gowns in this category are either fully lace or use lace as a bodice overlay on a satin skirt. Faviana 11627 does something different: the base fabric throughout the gown is tulle, and the floral appliqués are placed as individual scattered pieces rather than a continuous lace layer. That means the skirt reads as airy and dimensional rather than flat or fabric-heavy. The open back with crisscross lace-up straps is also not a standard construction — most lace mermaid gowns either close with a zipper or use a corset-style back on a ballgown silhouette. The crisscross lace-up on a fitted mermaid is more unusual and gives the back a strong design feature that reads well in photos. The four-colorway availability is broader than many styles in this silhouette, which makes it a practical option if you're coordinating with a group or want a specific color for your event.
