Description
About the Dress: Mac Duggal 9911642P
Mac Duggal 9911642P is a long fitted petite satin gown designed for evening events, formal occasions, galas, and prom. It features a high halter neckline, a fully open back, a front high slit, and a signature starburst gather and twist knot at the hip. This is a petite-cut style, sized 0–24, and is photographed in Ocean, Olive, and Plum.
Fit & Silhouette
Mac Duggal 9911642P is cut to contour through the bust, waist, and hips from top to hem — a true fitted silhouette. The sleek-and-sexy line of the gown is uninterrupted, with no volume or flare. The petite cut shortens the torso and skirt proportions so the dress falls correctly on a shorter frame without hemming. The front high slit adds movement and visual length to the leg. If you are between sizes, size up and plan for a minor alteration — the fitted cut leaves little ease.
Fabric & Detail
The gown is constructed in satin, which gives it a smooth surface and a controlled drape that holds the fitted line cleanly. The standout detail is the starburst gather and twist knot positioned at the hip and waist — the fabric is gathered and knotted in a radiating pattern that draws the eye to the narrowest part of the frame. The fully open back runs from the nape of the neck down to the waist, with the high halter neck anchoring the open construction at the top.
Key Features
- Petite cut — proportioned for shorter frames, sizes 0–24
- High halter neckline with fully open back
- Starburst gather and twist knot at the hip/waist
- Front high slit
- Smooth satin construction throughout
- Fitted, sleek-and-sexy silhouette contoured through bust, waist, and hips
- Available in Ocean, Olive, and Plum
Style & Occasion
Mac Duggal 9911642P is built for high-impact evening events. Wear it to prom, a formal gala, a black-tie evening dinner, or any occasion that calls for a long fitted gown with presence. The open back and front slit make it a bold choice — style it with a high strappy heel to extend the leg line and keep the silhouette clean. Because the neckline is high and structured, skip a necklace and instead focus on earrings: a long drop or sculptural stud works well against the halter line. The Ocean colorway reads as a cool jewel tone, Olive sits in warm muted territory, and Plum is a deep, saturated purple-red. All three work for evening lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on Mac Duggal 9911642P. If the gown does not fit or is not what you expected, you can return it for store credit, exchange it for a different size or color, or request a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so if you are between events or want to take time choosing a replacement, you are not rushed. The exchange option is the fastest path if you already know which size or colorway you want instead. To avoid sizing surprises, check the Mac Duggal size chart before ordering. This is a petite-line gown with adjusted proportions for shorter frames — if you are shopping both the standard and petite versions, note that the petite cut has a shorter torso and skirt length built in. If you are unsure which version is right for your height, contact the team before ordering.
Mac Duggal 9911642P is designed for high-impact evening occasions. The four events this gown is built for are evening events, formal occasions, galas, and prom. Here is how it reads in each setting. For prom, this gown makes a strong statement. The fitted silhouette, front high slit, and open back are all details that photograph well under event lighting, and the petite cut means it is already proportioned correctly for many high school and college-aged wearers. The three color options — Ocean, Olive, and Plum — are all distinct enough that you are unlikely to match another guest. For formal evening events and galas, the satin construction and clean fitted line give the gown the polish those settings require. The open back reads as elevated and intentional rather than casual, and the high halter neckline keeps the front of the dress sophisticated and structured. This is a gown that reads expensive without being over-embellished. For a formal evening dinner, a black-tie optional event, or a gala, all three colorways work well. Ocean is a strong choice for spring and summer evening events; Olive and Plum are both excellent autumn and winter formal options. If you are shopping for a petite-specific gown that works across multiple formal occasions without requiring significant alterations, Mac Duggal 9911642P is a strong candidate. The petite line means the proportions are already right for shorter frames, which reduces the time and cost you would otherwise spend on hemming a standard-length gown. Every PETITE order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the PETITE, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the PETITE sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the PETITE in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs.
Mac Duggal 9911642P ships in 7–12 business days under standard shipping. Rush options are available if you need the gown sooner — reach out before ordering to confirm rush availability for your specific size and colorway. Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York. Canadian customers are fulfilled from the Toronto warehouse, which means no duties or customs fees on Canadian orders. International shipping is available worldwide, and every order ships with full tracking so you can follow your package from dispatch to delivery. If you have a firm event date, count backward from that date when placing your order. 7–12 business days is the transit window after the order is processed — add a few days buffer for processing and a few more if you plan to have any alterations done after the gown arrives. Ordering with three to four weeks to spare is a comfortable cushion for most customers.
Mac Duggal 9911642P is designed as a fitted, sleek-and-sexy silhouette, which means it follows the body's natural curves from the bust through the waist and hips all the way to the hem. That kind of construction tends to work very well for hourglass and pear-shaped figures because the fitted line highlights a defined waist and the smooth satin surface keeps the look clean and uninterrupted. For straighter or more athletic figures, the starburst gather and twist knot at the hip is the key design feature. That gathered knot is intentionally placed at the hip and waist junction, which creates the visual impression of a curvier silhouette even when the underlying frame is more rectangular. The radiating gather draws the eye inward and then out again, which reads as a defined waist from both the front and the side. The front high slit adds vertical line to the leg, which is flattering on almost every frame — it breaks up the long column of fabric and creates the illusion of height and length. For petite figures specifically, the slit is a real asset because it keeps the gown from reading as too much fabric overwhelming a shorter frame. The high halter neckline and open back work together to create a long, clean neck-to-spine line on the back view — this is particularly strong on narrow-shouldered or long-necked figures. The halter also provides a secure anchor point, so the open back sits cleanly without gaping. Because this is a petite-line garment, the proportions are already adjusted for frames under 5'4". The torso length, waist placement, and skirt length are all shortened relative to the standard version, which means the waist seam sits at your actual waist and the hem hits the floor correctly. Taller petite wearers (5'3"–5'4") should try the dress before deciding whether to hem; shorter wearers (5'1" and under) may still need a small adjustment at the hem depending on heel height. Overall, this gown rewards a confident fit — if it contours your body cleanly, it looks exactly as intended. If you are between sizes or carry more through the hips than the waist, sizing up and taking it in at the waist through a local tailor is the right approach.
Most fitted satin evening gowns are smooth and unbroken from top to hem — clean and polished, but not particularly distinctive at the waist. Mac Duggal 9911642P adds one specific detail that separates it: the starburst gather and twist knot at the hip and waist. That gathered knot is not a simple seam — it is a radiating burst of fabric that terminates in a knotted point, and it sits exactly where the waist meets the hip. It creates visible structure and visual interest at the center of the silhouette without adding any bulk or volume. The second point of difference is the petite line itself. Most designer evening gowns are cut for a standard frame and require hemming for shorter wearers. Mac Duggal 9911642P in the petite version has the waist seam, torso length, and skirt proportion already adjusted, which means the gown wears as intended without alterations for most petite customers. Third, the combination of a fully open back with a high halter neckline is a specific architectural choice — many open-back gowns use a low or plunging front to balance the exposed back, but the high halter here keeps the front completely covered and structured. The contrast between covered front and fully open back is what gives this gown its distinctive look.
Mac Duggal 9911642P has an open back that runs from the nape of the neck down to the waist, anchored at the top by the high halter neck. The halter strap secures at the neck, which is the primary structural point holding the gown in place. Because the back is fully open rather than laced or zippered, fit at the waist and hip is determined entirely by the satin fabric's fitted cut. This means the gown does not have a lace-up back or corset closure that allows for size adjustment — you need to be in the right size for the body of the gown to sit correctly. If the gown feels tight through the hips, size up rather than trying to make a smaller size work. A local tailor can take in the waist on the larger size if needed. The halter neck can typically be adjusted slightly at the neckline attachment point, but the degree of adjustment depends on the specific construction. If the halter feels too loose or too tight at the neck, a tailor can make a small adjustment there without affecting the rest of the gown.
Yes — Mac Duggal 9911642P is available in three colorways: Ocean, Olive, and Plum. If you are coordinating a prom court, a gala group, or a formal event party, you can order different members of the group in different colors for a coordinated-but-distinct look, or choose one colorway for a fully unified group. Olive sits in a different color family and works well as a contrast accent color within a group that is otherwise in Ocean or Plum. If you are ordering multiple units across different sizes and colors, contact the team before placing your order to confirm stock availability for each combination. Rush options may also be available for group orders if your event date is tight. Text or WhatsApp the Marlas Fashions concierge team at +1 416-536-2956 (text) or +1 213-868-3131 (WhatsApp) and they can check availability and help coordinate the full group order. Every 9911642P order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the 9911642P, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise.
Mac Duggal 9911642P runs in sizes 0–24 in the petite line. Mac Duggal sizing generally runs true to size, but because this is a fitted satin gown, there is very little ease built in — the satin holds its shape and does not stretch. If you are between sizes or carry more through the hips than the bust, sizing up is the right call. You can always have the waist taken in by a tailor, but letting out a too-small fitted gown is much harder. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them against the Mac Duggal size chart. Pay particular attention to the hip measurement — on a fitted gown, the hip is the most common point of fit failure. If your hip measurement puts you in a different size than your bust, size to the hip and plan for a waist alteration if needed. As a petite-line garment, the torso length and skirt length are already proportioned for frames under approximately 5'4". If you are right at the upper edge of petite height, consider your heel height when evaluating whether any hem adjustment is needed.
