Frequently Asked Questions

What is the return policy if I order PS27099 and it doesn't work out — can I try it at home and send it back?

Yes — you can absolutely try PS27099 at home, and if it is not the right fit or the right look, you have real options. Marlas Fashions accepts returns for store credit, exchanges, or a refund with a 30% restocking fee deducted from the original purchase price. The restocking fee reflects the inspection, repackaging, and re-inventory work that happens on every returned garment, and it applies to refund requests only — store credit and exchanges do not carry the same deduction in the same way, so those routes are generally more economical if you plan to order again. Store credit at Marlas never expires. That matters in practice: if you return PS27099 in Mint and later decide you want it in Pink or Navy/Gold, or you find a completely different gown for a different event, that credit is sitting there waiting for you with no deadline. To make the try-at-home experience work cleanly, keep the original packaging, keep all tags attached, and do not wear the gown outside or in a situation where it could pick up scent, fabric transfer, or any visible wear. Gowns returned in original condition process smoothly; gowns that show signs of wear beyond trying on are not eligible for return. For a gown at this embellishment level — allover hot-stone coverage, a strapless bodice, and a front high slit — trying it on at home before committing to alterations is genuinely smart. Every PS27099 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the PS27099, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the PS27099 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the PS27099 in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs. Every PS27099 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.

How fast does Portia and Scarlett PS27099 ship, and where does it ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS27099 ships from our Los Angeles or New York warehouse for US orders, and from our Toronto warehouse for Canadian orders — so your gown is moving from a location already close to you rather than clearing international customs. Standard delivery for US and Canadian customers runs 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. There are no duties or customs fees on US or Canadian orders; that cost is fully absorbed. If you are ordering for a specific event date, count backward from that date and give yourself a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks of buffer beyond the shipping window. That extra time is your safety margin for any minor alterations, which almost every formal gown needs regardless of how well it fits off the rack. For international customers — anywhere outside the US and Canada — we ship worldwide with full tracking so you can follow your order from the moment it leaves the warehouse. International transit times vary by destination, but every shipment is tracked end to end. Duties and import fees for international orders are the responsibility of the customer and depend on the destination country's import rules. Rush shipping is available if your event is coming up quickly.

What makes PS27099 stand out compared to other fitted strapless prom gowns?

Most fitted strapless gowns scatter embellishment across the bodice or add accents at the hem. PS27099 does something different: the hot-stone sunburst pattern radiates outward from the center across the entire dress, top to bottom, so the gown reads as one continuous field of sparkle rather than a decorated dress. Under ballroom or stage lighting, that radiating layout means stones are catching light simultaneously from multiple angles as you move — it does not just shine when you face the light directly. The second differentiator is the combination of a front high slit and a fully open bare back on a strapless silhouette. Each of those details individually is common; having all three together at this embellishment level is unusual. The gown is deliberately built for high-impact occasions where the full look — front, back, and in motion — matters as much as any single detail. The bodice boning is a practical differentiator as well. Many embellished gowns at this price point rely on interior boning tape or light stays that shift over the course of a long event. The visible boning channels in PS27099 are structural — they hold the sweetheart neckline in position through dancing, seating, and standing without needing constant adjustment. Finally, the three colorways — Mint, Navy/Gold, and Pink — all work differently under different lighting conditions. Mint reads cool and fresh in daylight and warm under ballroom amber.

How does the back closure work on PS27099, and can it be adjusted for different body types?

The back of PS27099 is a fully open bare back — the Pink back panel in the composite image confirms the back extends bare well below the waist. Because the back is open rather than laced or zippered, the primary adjustment points are the bodice boning and the internal structure of the fitted silhouette itself. The bodice holds its shape through the visible boning channels rather than a traditional back closure, which means fit adjustments are handled at the seams rather than at a lacing system. If the bodice is slightly loose across the back or the sides, a seamstress can take it in at the side seams without affecting the open-back design or the stone embellishment on the front. If the bodice is slightly tight, letting out the side seams is generally possible depending on how much seam allowance the manufacturer left — this is worth asking your tailor to assess before purchasing a size up. For the high slit: the slit height is set in the seam and can be shortened by a tailor if you want less opening. Lengthening it is not recommended because that changes the structural seam of the skirt. If you are between sizes, sizing up and having the bodice taken in by a tailor typically produces a cleaner result on a strapless boned gown than sizing down and relying on the stretch of the jersey to compensate.

Can a prom group or court all wear PS27099, or does it work better as a solo statement gown?

PS27099 works in both situations, and the right answer depends on the colorway strategy your group uses. If everyone wears the same color — all Mint, all Pink, or all Navy/Gold — the allover hot-stone sunburst pattern creates a cohesive, uniform look on a stage or in photos because the embellishment reads consistently across the group regardless of body type or height. That uniformity reads well in wide-angle group photography. If the group is mixing colors, PS27099's three colorways are distinct enough in tone that each person registers as an individual while the shared silhouette and stone pattern ties the group together visually. Mint is the coolest tone and reads lightest; Pink is warm and mid-range in value; Navy/Gold is the darkest and most dramatic. Distributed across a group, that tonal range creates a gradient effect in photos that works especially well under mixed lighting. For a solo statement wear — as the only person in the group in this gown — the open back, high slit, and allover embellishment combination is intentionally eye-catching. It is not a background gown. If your intention is to stand out in a group photo rather than blend in, PS27099 delivers that clearly. For damas or court coordination, pairing PS27099 with simpler gowns in matching or complementary tones tends to work better than mixing it with another heavily embellished style, since two allover-stone gowns side by side can compete visually rather than complement. Every PS27099 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.

How does PS27099 fit — should I order my usual size or size up?

PS27099 runs consistent with standard Portia and Scarlett sizing, which generally tracks close to true-to-size for a fitted silhouette. Because the gown is fitted through the bust, waist, and hips with structural boning in the bodice, accurate measurements matter more than your usual dress tag size. Measure your bust at the fullest point, your natural waist, and your hips at the fullest point, then compare those three measurements against the Portia and Scarlett size chart. For a strapless boned gown, the bust measurement is the most critical — if your bust measurement falls between two sizes, take the larger size and have a tailor bring in the bodice at the side seams. A bodice that is a half-size too large can be taken in cleanly; a bodice that is a half-size too small cannot be let out without affecting the stone placement. The stretch jersey base gives a small amount of give in the skirt, but the boning does not stretch — so the bodice fit is the controlling factor. If your hip measurement is the largest of the three in proportion to your bust, size for your hips and adjust the bodice. If your bust is the largest proportionally, size for your bust. Height affects where the slit falls on the leg and where the train sits.

What occasions beyond prom is PS27099 appropriate for?

PS27099 is built specifically for events where a fully embellished, high-drama gown is appropriate and expected. Outside of prom, the most natural fit is pageant competition — the allover hot-stone sunburst coverage, the open back, the front high slit, and the sweep train are exactly the elements that read as strong stage presence under pageant lighting. The gown photographs exceptionally well under the kind of direct overhead and side lighting common in pageant settings. Beyond pageant, the gown works for any formal event where maximum embellishment is the point: a formal gala where you want to make a strong entrance, a formal dinner or awards event with a dress code that welcomes a statement gown, or a milestone celebration such as a significant birthday or anniversary dinner in a formal venue. The open back and front high slit do restrict the occasion range compared to a more conservative formal gown. As a wedding guest, the open back and front high slit suit evening receptions and black-tie celebrations best, where a more fashion-forward silhouette is welcome. The same reasoning removes it from mother-of-the-bride consideration. For events with a formal dress code but no specific restriction on embellishment level, PS27099 works well. For events where you want to be memorable but appropriately dressed rather than the most dramatic person in the room, a different silhouette from the Portia and Scarlett line would be a better fit.

What undergarments work under PS27099, and does the bodice have built-in support?

The bodice of PS27099 has built-in structural support through the visible boning channels — no external strapless bra is required, and in most cases a strapless bra would conflict with the boning structure and be uncomfortable to wear simultaneously. The boning holds the sweetheart neckline in position and shapes the torso through the bust and upper waist, so the gown is designed to be worn without a bra. For the skirt, because the silhouette is fitted through the hips and has a front high slit, fitted seamless underwear or shapewear shorts work best. Anything with visible lines or seams will show through the jersey. Thong-style seamless underwear or a low-rise seamless short that ends above the slit opening are both clean options depending on your preference. If you want additional smoothing through the hip and stomach area, a high-waist seamless shaper that ends at or just below the waist works well with the ruching in that zone — the ruching itself creates some natural shaping, and a shaper underneath reinforces it without adding bulk. Avoid anything with boning of its own under a boned bodice, as the two structures can conflict and create discomfort over a long event. The gown's internal boning is sufficient for a full evening of wear. Text +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp +1 213-868-3131.
