Frequently Asked Questions

What is the return policy if PS27022C does not work out once I try it on at home?

Marlas Fashions accepts returns on unworn, unaltered, and undamaged dresses with all original tags attached. If PS27022C arrives and it is not the right fit or the colour reads differently in person than on screen — which can happen with a beaded gown under different lighting — you have three options: a store credit that never expires, a straight exchange for a different size or colour, or a refund minus a 30 percent restocking fee. The store credit option is the one most customers choose when the sizing is slightly off, because it gives you the full value of the dress back to spend on a replacement or a different style entirely. There is no expiry date on the credit, so you are not under pressure to use it immediately. For a gown like PS27022C, the most common reason for a return is fit through the hips or the depth of the v-neckline reading differently on the body than it does in photos. Our sizing note in the fit section of this page covers that in detail, but the short version is: if you are between sizes, size up. The bodice can be taken in by a local seamstress very easily; adding fabric to a too-small hip on a fully beaded fitted gown is a much harder alteration. If you receive the dress and are unsure whether to keep it or exchange it, do not have it altered before you decide — alterations void the return eligibility. Try it on with the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear, assess the fit, and then make the call. Dresses in original condition with tags attached are straightforward to return or exchange. For questions about a specific return situation, the team at Marlas Fashions is available to help you think it through before you ship anything back.

How fast does Portia and Scarlett PS27022C ship, and where does it ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS27022C ships from Marlas Fashions warehouse locations in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto location. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days after your order is confirmed. If you need the gown sooner — for a prom date, a pageant, or a formal event with a firm deadline — rush shipping is available at checkout, and it is worth selecting that option as soon as you know your event date rather than waiting. Marlas Fashions ships to customers in the United States, Canada, and internationally. US and Canadian customers pay no import duties or surprise customs charges on arrival. International orders are sent with full tracking so you can follow the package at every stage of the journey. One practical note specific to a gown like PS27022C: because it is a fully beaded dress with a train, it ships in a box rather than a garment bag, and the packaging is designed to protect the beading during transit. When the box arrives, open it promptly, remove the tissue, and let the gown hang for a few hours. Any minor creases from packing will drop out naturally. The beading and sequin finish is not affected by hanging — in fact hanging is the best way to store the dress both before and after the event.

What makes PS27022C stand out compared to other fitted beaded prom gowns?

Most fitted beaded prom gowns concentrate their embellishment on the bodice or add a pattern that fades toward the hem. Portia and Scarlett PS27022C takes the opposite approach: the botanical beading and sequin pattern covers the entire dress from the top of the bodice to the hem of the train, with no plain section. When you are standing under event lighting, the whole gown catches the light rather than just the top half. The second thing that sets it apart is the combination of details working together: the deep v-neckline, the fully open back, the front high-slit, and the train all appear in the same gown. Many beaded gowns trade off one of those features to keep the design balanced. PS27022C commits to all of them at once, which gives it a stage-ready quality that suits prom and pageant environments equally well. The third point is the botanical pattern itself. It reads as a distinct design rather than an allover scatter of generic sequin. Up close you can see the structured beading arrangement; from a distance it reads as full luminous coverage. That dual effect — detailed up close, dramatic from across a room — is harder to find in mass-market beaded gowns at a similar price point.

How does the back closure work and how do I adjust the fit?

Portia and Scarlett PS27022C has a fully open back — the back is bare from the shoulders down to below the waist, as shown in the back view image of the Pink colourway. There is no corset lace-up and no zip running up the back in the traditional sense; the structure of the dress is maintained through the mesh base and the boning in the bodice rather than a back fastening. Because the back is open, fit adjustments at the bodice need to be handled at the side seams or at the straps rather than through a back closure. A skilled alterations tailor can take in the side seams to pull the bodice closer if the dress is slightly large through the bust. The straps can also be shortened to lift the neckline slightly if needed. If you are ordering and unsure whether your size will fit the bodice correctly given the open back construction, the safest approach is to measure your bust and compare against the designer's size chart before ordering, and when in doubt size up rather than down. For detailed sizing questions specific to your measurements, text or WhatsApp the Marlas Fashions concierge team at +1 416-536-2956 (text) or +1 213-868-3131 (WhatsApp) — they can pull up the Portia and Scarlett size chart and walk you through the measurement comparison in real time. Every PS27022C order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the PS27022C, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the PS27022C sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the PS27022C in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs.

Can I coordinate PS27022C with a court or damas group wearing different gowns?

Yes, and PS27022C works particularly well as a lead or statement gown in a group where the court or damas are wearing simpler styles. The fully beaded botanical pattern and the open back give the wearer wearing PS27022C a visually distinct look, while damas in a solid chiffon or a lighter beaded gown provide contrast without competing. For colour coordination, the Lilac colourway pairs well with courts in lavender, dusty rose, or soft silver. The Champagne Beige/Blue option works alongside ivory, sky blue, or pale gold. The Pink colourway coordinates naturally with blush, mauve, or deeper rose tones across the group. If the full group is ordering from Marlas Fashions, reach out to the team before placing orders — group orders can be coordinated to make sure styles and colours do not clash and that everyone's dress arrives with enough lead time for any alterations needed. This is especially worth doing when the event has a firm date like prom night or a pageant, where the whole group needs to be ready at the same time.

How does PS27022C fit in terms of sizing — does it run true to size?

Portia and Scarlett PS27022C generally runs true to size based on the designer's standard size chart. The fitted silhouette means there is very little ease built in — it is designed to follow the body closely through the bust, waist, and hips, and there is no flare or a-line skirt to accommodate a size difference. The most common sizing note from customers is that the hip measurement is the determining factor. If your hips fall at or near the top of a size range, go up. The bodice can be taken in by a seamstress; the hip on a fitted fully beaded gown is harder to let out. Measure both your bust and your hips before ordering and compare both measurements against the Portia and Scarlett size chart — do not rely on one measurement alone. For petite customers, the train length may need to be hemmed. For very tall customers, the train length is typically fine but the overall body length of the gown should be checked against your floor-to-shoulder measurement. Marlas Fashions can advise on this if you contact the team with your height and measurements before ordering.

What occasions and events is Portia and Scarlett PS27022C actually suited for?

PS27022C is built for high-impact events where a dramatic, fully embellished gown fits the dress code. Prom is the primary occasion — the combination of bold beading, a daring silhouette, and a train is exactly what the prom floor calls for. Pageant competitions at the Miss Universe styling level are an equally strong match: the over-the-top embellishment and the body-conscious fit are purpose-built for that stage. The fully open back and close-fitting silhouette make it a natural choice for evening galas and black-tie receptions; as a wedding guest, it suits less formal or evening ceremonies best. It is also not a conservative formal dress — it is a statement gown for events where that statement is welcome. Outside prom and pageant, it suits formal dance showcases, fashion shows, and any high-visibility event where the wearer wants the gown to be noticed. The three available colourways — Lilac, Champagne Beige/Blue, and Pink — give flexibility across different event palettes and lighting environments.

What undergarments work with the deep v-neckline and open back on PS27022C?

The deep v-neckline and the fully open back on PS27022C mean that a standard bra is not going to work. The two most practical options are adhesive bra cups placed on the inside of the bodice before you put the dress on, or built-in modesty cups if the gown's version you receive has them sewn in — check the interior of the bodice when your dress arrives. For the open back, a low-back bra converter strap will not work here because the back is too open for any bra band to be hidden. Adhesive cups are the standard solution for gowns with this construction. They come in a range of sizes and provide lift and coverage without any visible straps or bands. For underwear, seamless or low-cut underwear in a colour close to your skin tone or the gown's colourway works best under the fitted mesh base. Visible lines through a fully beaded gown are noticeable in photographs. A seamless brief or thong in a matching shade solves that completely. If you are unsure what cup size to order for the adhesive bras, err on the side of a slightly larger cup for coverage and security under the v-neckline — a cup that is too small will not provide enough support through a full night of dancing.
