Description
About the Dress: Faviana S10721
Faviana S10721 is a long fitted mermaid gown that makes a real statement. The bodice and skirt are completely covered in 3D floral lace appliqués with scattered beading on a mesh base, so the texture and sparkle read beautifully from every angle. Thin spaghetti straps frame a scoop neckline and cross at the back to form a crisscross pattern over a fully exposed open back — one of the most eye-catching details on this dress. The skirt hugs the body through the hips and then flares dramatically from the knee into a sweep train with no slit.
Fit & Silhouette
Faviana S10721 is a true mermaid silhouette — it fits close to the body through the bust, waist, and hips, then flares out at the knee into a full sweep train. Because the fit through the body is snug, sizing up one size is common for customers who carry more curve through the hips. The dress sits on thin spaghetti straps, so there is no structured sleeve to account for in fit. The open back means there is no enclosed back panel to add room — the crisscross straps sit across the exposed back and are not adjustable for fit purposes. Faviana's size chart is the best reference point; measure your bust, waist, and hips carefully before selecting a size, and if you are between sizes, size up for the hips.
Fabric & Detail
The base construction of Faviana S10721 is a mesh and tulle foundation that gives the skirt its body and flare. Over that foundation, 3D floral lace appliqués cover the entire dress from neckline to train hem — not just the bodice, but the full length of the skirt as well. Scattered beading is worked throughout the appliqués, catching light as the dress moves. The sweep train extends the drama at the back, with the same lace appliqué and bead detail running all the way to the hem. The crisscross spaghetti straps at the back are clean and minimal against the fully exposed back — a deliberate contrast to the rich texture of the lace overlay.

Style & Occasion
Faviana S10721 is built for prom and formal events where a dramatic, show-stopping gown is the goal. The combination of all-over 3D lace, scattered beading, a full mermaid flare, and a completely open back puts this squarely in statement-gown territory. It photographs exceptionally well, which makes it a popular pick for formal dances and evening events with professional photography. It is available in Ivory and Navy Blue — Ivory reads soft and romantic under warm light while Navy Blue comes across as bold and classic. For styling, keep accessories minimal so the lace detail does the work: a strappy heeled sandal, small drop earrings, and a simple clutch are all this dress needs. Marlas Fashions is an authorized Faviana retailer with over 40 years in the business, and every dress is inspected before it ships from our US or Canadian warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Faviana S10721 is a fitted mermaid gown, which means it hugs close through the bust, waist, and hips before flaring out at the knee. That specific cut works beautifully for certain body shapes, and it is worth thinking through honestly before you order.
The mermaid silhouette is most flattering on bodies with a defined waist and proportional hip-to-bust ratio. If you have an hourglass figure, this cut follows your natural shape and makes the most of it. If you carry more weight through the hips and thighs relative to the bust, the mermaid can still work, but sizing becomes more important — the snug hip fit is where most customers find they need to go up a size, sometimes two, compared to what they wear in regular clothes.
The scoop neckline with thin spaghetti straps is relatively modest at the front, which gives balance to the dramatic open back. If you prefer more coverage at the front, this neckline works well. If you have a fuller bust, spaghetti straps alone may feel less secure than a structured bodice — this is a dress that works best when the fit through the bust is snug.
The sweep train and the flare at the hem add length visually, which tends to elongate shorter frames. If you are petite, you may need the hem altered or plan to wear a heel high enough to clear the train on the floor.
For straighter body types without a defined waist curve, the all-over 3D lace appliqués and the mermaid flare still create shape and drama, but the fitted cut relies on your own curves to fill it out — consider whether a flowy or A-line silhouette might suit you better for comfort.
The open back is a feature that works on nearly every body type, but it does require confidence. There is no coverage at the back from the shoulder blades to the lower back — only the crisscross spaghetti straps. If you prefer more back coverage, this particular style is not the right match regardless of body type.
In summary: this dress is best suited to someone comfortable with a close, body-following fit through the hips, who wants a dramatic open back and a strong, sweeping silhouette. If that describes you, Faviana S10721 delivers it at a high level.
Faviana S10721 is a heavily detailed dress — 3D floral lace appliqués and scattered beading cover it from neckline to train — so the best approach with accessories is to keep things clean and let the gown lead.
For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal in gold, silver, or nude is the most versatile choice. Because the mermaid skirt hugs the legs and flares below the knee, a heel that peeks out when you walk reads better than a closed-toe shoe. If you want to stay closer to the ground, a block-heeled sandal gives stability without losing the elegant line. For Ivory, warm metallic tones (gold, champagne) complement the softness of the colorway. For Navy Blue, silver and chrome hardware read sharper and more modern.
For jewelry, this dress genuinely does not need much. The all-over lace and bead work already create a lot of visual texture. Drop earrings — a simple pearl, a thin crystal bar, or a delicate chandelier style — work well. Avoid large statement necklaces; the scoop neckline is open enough that a necklace can compete awkwardly with the lace detail on the bodice. If you want a neck piece, a very fine chain or a single pendant kept short is the way to go. A simple cuff or bracelet is fine but not necessary.
For hair, an updo or a high half-up style exposes the crisscross open back — which is one of the most striking features of this dress — so it is worth planning your hairstyle to show that detail. Loose hair down the back will cover the crisscross straps and open back almost entirely.
For bags, a small structured clutch or a simple minaudière works. Choose a metallic or neutral finish that matches your shoe hardware.
For Ivory specifically, avoid stark white accessories — they can pull the warm tone of the dress toward yellow. For Navy Blue, avoid navy accessories in the same shade, as they tend to disappear against the dress; contrast with a metallic or a very pale neutral instead.
The short version: one or two simple metallic accessories, a strappy heel, and a small clutch. This dress carries the look on its own.
Faviana S10721 ships from Marlas Fashions' US warehouse (Los Angeles or New York) or our Canadian warehouse in Toronto, depending on your location. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is processed. Rush shipping is available at checkout if you need the dress sooner — select the rush option and the system will show you the upgraded delivery estimate for your address.
Shipping is fully tracked, and you will receive tracking information once your order leaves the warehouse. Marlas ships to the United States, Canada, and internationally. US and Canadian customers pay no import duties. International orders outside those two countries are also shipped worldwide with tracking, though customs fees may apply depending on your country.
If you have a specific event date and are cutting it close, reach out before you order so we can confirm the realistic delivery window for your location. We have been shipping formalwear for over 40 years and are familiar with tight timelines.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on Faviana S10721 if the dress is unworn, unaltered, and returned in its original condition with tags attached. Returns are processed as store credit (which never expires), an exchange for a different size or style, or a refund less a 30% restocking fee — whichever option works for you.
Because formalwear fits differently from regular clothing, ordering the dress, trying it on at home, and then deciding is a completely normal part of the process. If the fit is off and you need a different size, reach out to us as soon as possible so we can check stock before your exchange window closes. We inspect every dress before it ships, so you should receive it in perfect condition — but if anything arrives with a defect or damage, contact us immediately and we will make it right.
For questions about a specific return or exchange, the fastest way to reach us is by text or WhatsApp. 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.
The main things that separate Faviana S10721 from other lace prom gowns are the combination of full-coverage 3D floral appliqués and the crisscross open back.
A lot of lace prom gowns use lace only on the bodice, with a plain or chiffon skirt below. Faviana S10721 runs the 3D floral lace appliqués over the entire dress — bodice and full-length mermaid skirt — all the way through the sweep train. That kind of coverage creates a much more layered, textured look than a lace-top-only design.
The back construction is also distinctive. Instead of a standard zipper or corset closure, the back is completely open with thin crisscross spaghetti straps forming an X pattern. That open back is a bold design choice that most lace gowns in this price range do not offer.
Finally, the mermaid flare is pronounced — the skirt hugs close through the hips and then flares dramatically at the knee into a sweep train, giving the dress a strong silhouette that reads well from across the room. If you are comparing gowns side by side, these three elements — full-coverage lace, open back, and dramatic flare — are the most useful points of comparison.
The back of Faviana S10721 is an open-back design with thin spaghetti straps that cross to form a crisscross pattern — there is no zipper, no corset lacing, and no hook-and-eye closure in the traditional sense. The back itself is fully exposed from the shoulder blades down.
Because the closure is not a traditional adjustable element like a corset back, the fit through the body is determined by the dress's cut at your size — not by tightening or loosening a back panel. This is why getting the size right before you order matters more than it would with a lace-up gown. If the bodice is too loose, the spaghetti straps may gap or slide; if it is too tight through the hips, the mermaid skirt will pull.
If you need minor adjustments after receiving the dress, a local seamstress can take in the sides of the bodice or adjust the strap length. Major resizing on a fitted mermaid gown with full lace coverage is more involved, so it is worth sizing correctly from the start using Faviana's measurement chart.
Yes — Faviana S10721 is available in both Ivory and Navy Blue, which gives a group two clear coordinating options. A common approach is to have the featured person (prom queen, lead, or court center) wear one colorway while the rest of the group wears the other, creating a clear visual distinction without anyone needing a completely different style.
For damas or court groups where a consistent look matters, ordering all dresses from the same retailer and at the same time is the most reliable way to ensure the colorway matches across garments. Dye lots can vary between production runs, and ordering separately at different times risks slight color differences. Marlas Fashions stocks multiple units of popular styles, but it is worth contacting us before placing a group order to confirm current stock levels and whether all sizes needed are available at once.
If the group needs multiple styles within a coordinating color palette — for example, different silhouettes in the same Navy Blue — Faviana's broader S10000 collection has several styles that use compatible colorways.
Faviana S10721 runs close to true size, but most customers find that the hip measurement is the determining factor for this style. Because it is a fitted mermaid gown — meaning the skirt hugs close through the hips before flaring — there is very little ease built in through that area. If your hips measure larger than the standard hip measurement for your bust size, sizing up is the right call.
The standard recommendation for this dress: measure your bust, waist, and hips in inches, then match the largest of those measurements to Faviana's size chart. If two measurements fall in different sizes, go with the larger size and have the bodice taken in by a seamstress if needed — it is much easier to take in a fitted bodice than to let out a snug hip seam.
Faviana uses standard US sizing, so if you normally wear a 4 or 6 in formalwear, start there on the chart, but verify your hip measurement specifically before confirming. If you are right between sizes and carry more curve through the hips, going up one full size is safer than splitting the difference. Our team can also help you interpret the size chart — contact us with your measurements and we will advise.
