Description
About the Dress: Faviana S10400
Faviana S10400 is a floor-length a-line satin prom gown with a heavily beaded floral lace bodice, a deep v-neckline, thin spaghetti straps, and a crisscross lace-up open back. The skirt is fluid satin with a front high slit and in-seam pockets. It is available in Buttercream, Deep Mauve, and Wine — a Navy colorway is photographed on the product page but availability is unconfirmed; contact us before ordering if Navy is the one you want.
Fit & Silhouette
The silhouette is a-line: the beaded lace bodice fits closely through the bust and releases into a full satin skirt from the hip. The skirt has enough volume that it moves well and does not restrict walking or dancing. The high front slit runs from the floor to roughly mid-thigh and gives you complete freedom of movement throughout a long evening.
The crisscross lace-up closure at the back adjusts across roughly one to two sizes, which makes the fit more forgiving than a fixed zipper. Size to your bust measurement first — lace bodices without internal boning need to sit flush against the chest — and use the lace-up back to bring in the waist. If your measurements sit at a borderline, size up. The skirt's a-line shape means hip measurements rarely cause a conflict, but confirm your hip falls within the range for your size before ordering.
S10400 is designed for standard formal height with heels. Petite customers or anyone planning to wear flat shoes should factor in a possible hem alteration.
Fabric & Detail
The skirt is smooth satin — fluid, with a natural sweep at the floor. In Wine and Deep Mauve the satin catches event lighting with real depth; Buttercream reads softer and works especially well in warmly lit or outdoor settings.
The bodice is constructed from a beaded lace panel with three-dimensional floral appliqués. The beading is concentrated here, which keeps the skirt clean and lets the bodice carry the visual weight of the gown. In the Wine colorway the beading under stage lighting is particularly strong.
Key Features
- Floor-length a-line satin skirt with natural floor sweep
- Deeply plunging v-neckline with thin spaghetti straps
- Beaded floral lace appliqué bodice — no internal boning
- Crisscross lace-up open back with substantial mid and lower back exposure
- Front high slit from floor to mid-thigh
- In-seam side pockets — functional, invisible when the skirt hangs naturally
- Available in Buttercream, Deep Mauve, and Wine
Style & Occasion
Faviana S10400 is built for prom, formal dances, evening galas, pageant competitions, and formal Sweet 16 celebrations. The beaded lace bodice reads across a full room and holds up under stage lighting; the v-neckline and open back give it edge; the slit and pockets make it practical across a full evening. It is not a background dress — the bodice commands attention, which suits a prom entrance, a pageant stage walk, or a formal gala where you want the gown to be a statement.
One thing worth knowing up front: the crisscross open back exposes a substantial portion of the mid and lower back. This is a genuine open back, not a small keyhole. The open back is a defining feature of this style, so it works best for wedding-guest events with relaxed or evening dress codes rather than very conservative venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Faviana S10400 runs true to the brand's standard size chart, and the most reliable approach is to take three measurements before you do anything else: your full bust at its widest point, your natural waist at its narrowest, and your hips at the fullest point — typically 7 to 9 inches below the natural waist. Compare all three numbers directly against Faviana's published size chart rather than relying on the size you normally wear in ready-to-wear clothing. Formal gown sizing differs meaningfully from street sizing, and Faviana's charts are designed to account for the structure of the bodice rather than a generic cut.
The bodice of S10400 is constructed from a beaded lace panel with floral appliqués and secured by a crisscross lace-up closure at the open back. This back closure gives you a meaningful amount of adjustment range — roughly one to two full sizes — which makes the fit more forgiving than a fully boned or zippered bodice. Even so, getting the bust measurement right is critical: lace bodices without internal boning rely on the fabric sitting flush against the chest, and a cup that is too large will gap and shift. If your bust and waist measurements point to different sizes on Faviana's chart, size to the bust and use the lace-up back to bring in the waist.
The a-line skirt releases from the hip with enough ease that hip measurements rarely create a conflict, but if your hips are the largest of your three measurements by a significant margin, verify that your hip measurement falls within the range listed for the size you are ordering.
For length: S10400 is a floor-length gown with a natural satin sweep, and Faviana designs it for a standard formal height with heels. If you are petite or plan to wear flat shoes, factor in whether a hem alteration will be needed. Most customers in the average height range do not require shortening, but a professional fitting appointment before the event is always worthwhile on any floor-length gown.
If your measurements sit at a borderline between two sizes, our team recommends sizing up and adjusting through the lace-up back. The lace-up closure can cinch; it cannot add fabric. Reach out before you order if you have any uncertainty — our fit team is familiar with this style across multiple colorways and can walk you through the decision based on your exact numbers.
Faviana S10400 is built for events where the dress is expected to carry real visual weight — where you want the beadwork and floral appliqué on the bodice to read across a full room and hold up under stage or event lighting. That makes it a natural fit for prom and formal dances, evening galas, pageant competitions, and formal Sweet 16 celebrations with an elevated dress code. The floor-length a-line silhouette is versatile enough that it does not read as costume or one-dimensional — it has the refinement needed for a seated formal dinner and the drama required for a runway or stage walk.
For prom specifically, S10400 delivers on every dimension the occasion demands: the beaded lace bodice is a genuine focal point, the v-neckline and open back give it edge without tipping into excess, and the high slit allows a full evening of dancing without restriction. The in-seam pockets are a practical detail that customers genuinely appreciate at long events where a clutch becomes cumbersome.
For pageant events, the gown's embellishment level is substantial enough to compete in formal evening wear categories, particularly in the Wine and Deep Mauve colorways, which photograph with significant depth and saturation under stage lighting. Buttercream reads more softly and is particularly effective for categories that reward a lighter, more romantic aesthetic.
For formal Sweet 16 celebrations and evening galas, S10400 is appropriate when the dress code is formal or black-tie adjacent. It is not a dress that disappears into the crowd — the bodice commands attention — so it suits the guest or honoree who wants the gown to be a statement.
One consideration worth naming: the open crisscross back involves significant back exposure. This works beautifully for most formal dance events, but it does narrow the occasions where it fits comfortably. Events with very conservative dress codes may call for a more covered style, while the open back is something to keep in mind when planning your look as a wedding guest — an evening or black-tie reception setting tends to work best for that occasion. If you are weighing this against another option, our concierge team is glad to help you think it through: text or call +1 416-536-2956, or reach us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131.
Faviana S10400 is currently listed in three colorways: Buttercream, Deep Mauve, and Wine. A Navy colorway is also photographed on the product page but is not confirmed as a listed option at this time — if Navy is important to you, please reach out to our team to confirm current availability before placing your order. Deep Mauve is a cool-toned, mid-depth berry that sits between dusty rose and plum. It photographs with a sophisticated, slightly muted quality under natural light and picks up warmth and richness under event and stage lighting. It is a particularly strong choice if you want a color that feels distinctive without being a primary bold statement. Wine is a deeper, saturated red-purple that carries more intensity than Deep Mauve. Under event lighting it reads as a true jewel tone and tends to photograph with dramatic depth. Customers who want maximum visual presence in a crowd or under stage lighting often gravitate toward Wine. The beading on the lace bodice catches light especially clearly in this shade. Buttercream is a warm, pale ivory-yellow that reads as soft and romantic. It is the lightest of the three confirmed colorways and works particularly well in outdoor settings, warmly lit venues, or occasions where a brighter or bolder color would feel out of place. In pageant contexts it suits categories emphasizing a refined, graceful aesthetic.
The back of Faviana S10400 features a crisscross lace-up closure that runs vertically down a wide open-back panel. The panel exposes a substantial portion of the mid and lower back — this is a genuinely open back rather than a small keyhole or a minimally exposed fastening. The lacing itself crosses back and forth across the opening and functions as both a fit mechanism and a visual design element, but the skin on either side of and behind the lacing is visible throughout.
From a practical standpoint, this means that traditional bra styles will not work under S10400. Most customers wear a low-back adhesive bra, fashion tape, or a purpose-made low-back bra converter with a style like this. The bodice has some built-in structure from the beaded lace panel, which helps with light support, but the open back requires planning your undergarment solution in advance of the event.
The lace-up closure also provides a meaningful range of adjustment. It can be tightened or loosened to fine-tune the fit through the waist and the back panel, which gives this style more flexibility than a fixed zipper closure. Some customers also choose to have the lacing ribbon swapped for a decorative alternative that coordinates with their colorway.
The high front slit on Faviana S10400 is set into the satin skirt and runs from the floor to roughly mid-thigh. In practical terms it gives you full freedom of movement for dancing, climbing stairs, and walking across a venue without having to manage the skirt the way a fully closed floor-length gown sometimes requires. The satin fabric on either side of the slit falls back into place naturally after movement, so you are not managing the opening constantly throughout the evening.
The slit reads as a deliberate design detail rather than a structural necessity — it is proportioned to the a-line skirt width and lines up with the gown's overall aesthetic, which balances embellishment on the bodice with clean lines through the skirt. In the Wine and Deep Mauve colorways, where the satin catches light with more intensity, the slit adds a flash of movement that photographs well.
Comfort across a full evening with a high slit depends partly on shoe choice. A heel that keeps the gown slightly elevated off the floor makes walking through the slit feel natural. Very flat shoes on a floor-length gown can occasionally cause the hem to drag at the front, which does not affect the slit itself but is worth factoring into footwear decisions if you plan to wear flats.
The pockets on Faviana S10400 are set into the side seams of the satin skirt and are genuinely functional — deep enough for a phone, a card, or small essentials. They are invisible when the skirt hangs naturally. The opening sits at a comfortable reach point at the side seam rather than at the hip, which keeps them accessible throughout the evening without requiring an awkward reach.
Because they are in-seam rather than patch or welt pockets, they do not create any visible pocket bag outline against the satin fabric when empty. When loaded with items, any fabric with a smooth drape like satin will show a slight profile if the pocket is heavily filled, but light items — a phone and a card — typically sit without noticeable effect on the skirt's silhouette. The a-line shape of the skirt provides enough volume through the lower portion that pocket placement does not pull or distort the hemline.
Customers confirmed the pockets in side-by-side images across multiple colorways, and they are consistent across the color range. They are one of the more commented-on practical details of this style for customers buying it for prom or extended formal events.
Faviana S10400 ships from Marlas Fashions' Los Angeles and New York warehouses to US customers and from our Toronto warehouse to Canadian customers. Canadian orders arrive without duties or import fees. International shipping is available worldwide with full tracking provided on every order.
Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order ships. Rush shipping is available for orders that need to arrive sooner — contact our team at the time of order to confirm rush options and current lead times, as availability varies by season.
For prom and formal event gowns, we strongly recommend ordering at least four to six weeks before your event date. This window gives you time to receive the gown, try it on with your planned shoes and undergarments, and schedule any alterations if needed before the event. Floor-length gowns occasionally require hem adjustments, and alteration appointments at busy periods can book out quickly. Ordering earlier is always the safer approach for time-sensitive occasions.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on eligible items in original, unworn condition with tags attached. Returns are processed as store credit that never expires, as a direct exchange for another size or style, or as a refund less a 30% restocking fee — whichever option suits your situation best.
Every dress that leaves our warehouse is individually inspected before it ships, so you can order with confidence that the gown will arrive in the condition shown. If you receive an item with a manufacturing defect or a discrepancy from the product description, contact our team promptly and we will make it right.
Before placing your order, we encourage you to measure carefully using Faviana's published size chart and to reach out if you have questions about fit, colorway availability, or timing. Getting the size right on the first order is always the smoothest path — and our team is genuinely glad to help with that before you commit.
