Description
About the Dress: Portia and Scarlett PS26022
Portia and Scarlett PS26022 is a fully beaded, floor-length corset gown built around an all-over pearl-and-bead embellished tulle fabric. The sweetheart neckline has a clear center dip at the bust, and the strapless silhouette is held securely in place by a structured boned bodice. A plunging center cutout runs through the front of the bodice from the bust point downward, adding a dramatic open detail to the corset construction. The gown finishes with a sweeping tulle train at the hem.
Fit & Silhouette
PS26022 fits close through the bust, waist, and hips from top to hem — a long, slim fitted shape that follows the body's natural line. The boned corset bodice provides strong support and structure without a strap or sleeve. Ruching at the stomach and hip draws the fabric inward, creating a smooth, sculpted waist. The back is fully open to approximately the waistline, secured only by the boned corset panel. The trailing tulle skirt adds length and movement behind the wearer without widening the silhouette.
Fabric & Detail
The base fabric is tulle, covered top to bottom in beading. In the Ivory colorway the beads read as pearl-style in a light, iridescent finish; in Black, Emerald, Pink, and Red the beading matches the colorway for a consistent all-over shimmer. Boning channels are clearly visible inside the bodice across all colorways — most explicitly seen in the Ivory colorway — confirming the structural corset construction. The ruching at the stomach is worked into the beaded fabric so the gathering integrates cleanly with the embellishment. The sweeping train is a flowing tulle overlay that continues the beaded surface to the floor and beyond.
Key Features
- All-over beaded tulle — fully covered from sweetheart bust to train hem
- Boned corset bodice with plunging front cutout detail
- Sweetheart neckline with visible center dip
- Ruching at stomach and hip for a sculpted waist
- Fully open back to approximately the waistline
- Floor-sweeping tulle train
- Strapless, sleeveless construction
- Available in Black, Emerald, Ivory, Pink, and Red
Style & Occasion
Portia and Scarlett PS26022 is built for high-impact evenings — prom, pageant competitions, and formal engagement celebrations where a fully embellished gown is expected. The all-over beading and open back give it the kind of presence that reads well under event lighting and on a stage. For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal in metallic or a matching colorway keeps the silhouette clean; a pointed-toe pump also works well under the long hem. For jewelry, the strapless neckline and open back leave room for statement earrings — a drop or chandelier style in crystal or pearl complements the bead finish without competing. The plunging front cutout means a low or minimal necklace is the better choice over a statement collar. PS26022 is available in Black, Emerald, Ivory, Pink, and Red.

Frequently Asked Questions
PS26022 is a fully beaded, floor-length corset gown with an open back, a plunging front cutout, and a sweeping train — a combination that puts it firmly in the category of high-glamour formal wear. Here is a straightforward breakdown of where it fits well and where it does not.
Prom: This is one of the strongest fits for PS26022. The all-over beading, the structured corset, and the dramatic train are exactly what the prom dress category calls for. The open back and the cutout add the kind of eye-catching detail that reads well on a prom night and photographs well under event lighting. If you are looking for a gown that will stand out in the room, PS26022 is built for that.
Pageant: PS26022 meets the pageant gown standard clearly. A fully beaded long gown with a plunging cutout, open back, and sweep train hits the Miss Universe-style embellishment and construction level that pageant events expect. The structured corset also gives the controlled fit that shows well from a stage.
Engagement celebrations: A formal engagement party or engagement photo session where a dramatic gown is appropriate is a good setting for PS26022. The fitted silhouette and the beaded finish are well-suited to an event where the focus is on the wearer.
As a wedding guest, this gown suits evening receptions and black-tie celebrations best, where its open back and plunging front cutout complement the glamour of the setting. For more conservative formal settings, a less open back may be a more comfortable choice, though the gown suits a wide range of evening and formal occasions beautifully. It is a statement gown for events that call for statement gowns.
Available colors are Black, Emerald, Ivory, Pink, and Red — each colorway carries the same beading construction with the bead color matched to the fabric, except Ivory which features a pearl-style bead finish.
If you are deciding between PS26022 and another gown for a specific event and want a second opinion, our team is happy to help you choose.
Because PS26022 is fully beaded from the sweetheart bust to the train hem, the fabric needs gentle handling at every stage — washing, storing, and packing for travel included.
Cleaning: Spot-clean small marks as soon as they happen using a soft, damp cloth with cool water and no scrubbing motion — dragging the cloth sideways can loosen or dislodge beads. For a full clean after wearing, take the gown to a dry cleaner who has experience with heavily beaded or embellished formal wear. Let them know about the pearl-style beads in the Ivory colorway or the matching-color beads in other colorways so they can choose a solvent that does not strip the finish. Do not attempt machine washing or submerging the gown at home — the boning channels in the corset bodice and the ruching at the stomach are both vulnerable to water damage and heat.
Storage: Hang PS26022 on a wide, padded hanger rather than a wire hanger, which can distort the strapless sweetheart bodice over time. Place the gown inside a breathable garment bag — cotton or non-woven fabric, not plastic, which traps moisture. If you are storing it long-term after wearing, air it out for several hours before placing it in the bag. Lay the train loosely inside the bag rather than folding it tightly; if you must fold, use acid-free tissue paper between any fold points to prevent creasing in the tulle and to protect the beaded surface.
Travel: The train and the all-over beading make PS26022 challenging to pack in a suitcase without wrinkles. The best approach is to transport it in a garment bag laid flat across the back seat of a car, or to check it in a hard-sided garment bag when flying. If you do need to fold it, wrap the beaded sections loosely in tissue paper, avoid tight compression, and hang the gown as soon as you arrive so gravity can release any fold lines before the event.
If you have questions about a specific cleaning situation or storage concern, our team is glad to help — reach out before and after the event for guidance.
The sweetheart neckline, open back, and plunging front cutout on PS26022 leave a lot of skin showing, so the goal with accessories is to complement the beading without adding visual clutter. Shoes: A strappy heeled sandal in metallic gold, silver, or a color that matches your gown works well under the long hem and lets the train sweep cleanly to the floor. A pointed-toe pump is also a strong choice — it disappears under the hem and keeps the line of the fitted silhouette clean. Platform styles can work if you prefer the height, but choose a simple design since the beaded hem will be the focal point. Earrings: The strapless open-back construction is ideal for statement earrings. A drop or chandelier style in crystal, pearl, or rhinestone picks up the bead finish on the fabric — especially in the Ivory colorway where the pearl-style beads create a soft shimmer. Avoid very long earrings that extend below the jaw line if you are wearing an updo, as they can compete with the neckline. Necklace: The plunging front cutout means a statement collar or bib necklace will fight the neckline rather than frame it. Skip the necklace entirely, or choose a very delicate pendant if you want something at the throat. The open back also rules out anything that sits across the upper back.
PS26022 is a fitted, structured corset gown — meaning it works with body shapes that benefit from definition at the waist and a long, close silhouette. The boned corset bodice is the most important factor. The boning provides structure and support through the bust without straps, which means it creates lift and shape on its own. This makes it a strong choice for wearers who want a strapless gown but are concerned about staying power through a long evening — the boning holds the fit rather than relying on the fabric alone. The ruching at the stomach and hip gathers the fabric inward at the midsection, which smooths and narrows the waist visually. This detail is particularly effective for hourglass and pear silhouettes where defining the waist is flattering. The fitted long skirt — close through the hips and thighs with a trailing sweep — creates a long, unbroken vertical line from bust to floor. This elongates the figure on most body types. For petite wearers, pairing it with a high heel maximizes that effect. For taller wearers, the train adds drama rather than length. The fully open back is a strong feature for wearers who are confident showing skin — it creates a dramatic contrast against the heavily embellished front and is the kind of back that photographs well.
Marlas Fashions ships PS26022 from warehouse locations in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto, depending on which location has your size and colorway in stock at the time of your order.
Standard shipping takes 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is confirmed. Rush shipping is available if you need the gown sooner — select the rush option at checkout or contact our team to confirm availability for your event date before placing the order.
For customers in the United States and Canada, there are no import duties on your order. International orders ship with full tracking, and our team can advise on estimated delivery times for your specific country.
If you have a firm event date, we recommend ordering at least three to four weeks in advance on standard shipping to allow time for any minor fit adjustments after the gown arrives. Rush shipping compresses that window, but having the gown in hand early is always the safer approach with a heavily structured beaded gown that may need professional steaming on arrival.
For the most current stock information on a specific colorway — particularly Ivory, which has a photographed white sample that the client is confirming matches the listed Ivory stock — contact us before ordering to confirm availability.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on PS26022. Here is how the process works.
You can return the gown for store credit, exchange it for a different size or colorway, or receive a refund. Refunds are processed less a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so if you are undecided about the right size or color, store credit is the most flexible option.
To make the return process easier, we recommend trying the gown on as soon as it arrives — before removing any tags, before steaming or pressing the fabric, and on a clean surface where the train will not pick up debris from the floor. A fully beaded gown is difficult to return if the beading has been snagged or the fabric has been visibly worn.
If you are between sizes or unsure which size to order for a fitted corset gown like PS26022, ordering your true measurements in bust, waist, and hips is the most reliable method. The boning in the corset bodice gives some adjustment range, but it does not substitute for accurate sizing. If you want a fit opinion before ordering, our team can help you compare your measurements to the size chart.
For exchanges specifically — if you want a different colorway after seeing the gown in person — contact us as soon as possible so we can check stock before the return window closes.
A lot of fitted beaded prom gowns are beaded at the bodice with a less embellished skirt, or they use sequin as the surface treatment rather than individual beads. PS26022 runs the beading continuously from the sweetheart neckline all the way through the corset bodice, across the ruched stomach and hip, and down through the train — there is no break in the embellishment. That consistent surface is what makes it read as a fully beaded gown rather than a beaded-bodice gown.
The second distinction is the plunging center cutout through the corset front. Most corset-bodice gowns have a closed or lace-up front — the cutout on PS26022 is built into the boned structure, which requires more precise construction and gives the front a different kind of drama than an open-back alone would create.
The pearl-style bead finish in the Ivory colorway is also specific to that option — it gives the Ivory version a softer, bridal-adjacent look that reads very differently from the matching-color beading in Black, Emerald, Pink, or Red.
Finally, the train on PS26022 is a tulle sweep that continues the beaded surface — not a separate panel or an attached overlay. It trails as a natural extension of the skirt, which keeps the silhouette unified from front to back.
PS26022 has a fully open back — the bodice back panel ends at approximately the waistline, leaving the full back bare from the top of the boned corset down. This is a structural feature of the design, not a modifiable element. There is no lace-up, zipper, or hook-and-eye closure running up the back in the traditional sense — the corset boning in the front bodice provides the structure and support. Because the back is open rather than laced, there is less built-in adjustment at the back than you would get with a corset-back lace-up gown. The fit depends primarily on ordering the correct bust and underbust measurement so the boned bodice sits correctly at the front. If you are concerned about the back staying in place through a long event, the boning channels provide strong hold through the bust and ribcage. The key is accurate sizing — a bodice that is slightly too large will not hold the sweetheart neckline in position the way a correctly sized one will. For alterations: a skilled tailor can take in the side seams of the bodice if you need a more precise fit.
