Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does this ship and where does Marlas Fashions ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS27418C ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with a Canadian fulfillment point in Toronto. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is placed and confirmed. If your event is coming up quickly, rush processing is available — just reach out before you place your order and the team can tell you the fastest option for your location. Shipping goes to the United States, Canada, and internationally. US and Canadian customers pay no import duties or customs fees — those are covered on Marlas' end. International orders ship with full tracking so you can follow your package at every stage. For prom season and peak event periods, order as early as you can. Fully beaded gowns like PS27418C often move quickly because the production run on each colorway is limited. Once a size or color sells out it is not always restocked, so placing your order with enough runway for the standard 7 to 12 business day window — plus a few extra days for alterations if you need them — is the safest approach.

What is the return policy if the dress does not work out after I receive it?

Marlas Fashions accepts returns on PS27418C and gives you three options: store credit that never expires, a straight exchange for a different size or color, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The store credit option is the most flexible because it has no expiration date — you can use it toward any dress on the site whenever you are ready. Because PS27418C is a fully beaded gown with a significant production cost, the restocking fee applies to cash refunds to cover the handling and inspection that a beaded dress requires when it comes back. If you are choosing between a refund and store credit, the store credit gives you the full value back with no deduction. The practical advice for a gown like this is to try it on as soon as it arrives, before you make any alterations. Alterations are considered final — a hemmed or altered dress cannot be returned. So before you take it anywhere, put it on, check the fit at the bust, waist, and hips, and confirm the color and length work for your event. The stretch jersey base means there is a small amount of give in the fit, but if you are on the borderline between sizes it is worth confirming the fit carefully at this stage.

What makes PS27418C different from other fitted beaded prom gowns out there?

Most beaded prom gowns put beading on the bodice and leave the skirt plain or lightly embellished. PS27418C by Portia and Scarlett covers the entire dress — bodice and skirt — in an Art Deco fan and sunburst pattern executed in beads and hot stones. There is no plain section anywhere. That full-coverage construction is what earns it the fully-beaded designation, and it is genuinely rare at this price point. The combination of design choices also sets it apart: a fully open back secured only by a center zipper, a front high slit at the thigh, and a strapless neckline all on the same gown. Each of those features on its own is a strong style statement. Together they make PS27418C one of the highest-impact options in the Portia and Scarlett prom line. The Art Deco geometric pattern is also more distinctive than the scattered floral or abstract beading you see on most party-season gowns — it reads more editorial and less generic. The stretch jersey base is another practical difference. Many fully beaded gowns use a rigid lining that can feel stiff or difficult to move in. The jersey base on PS27418C keeps the dress flexible and comfortable even under a full bead covering, which matters a lot if you are wearing it for a full evening or competition. Every PS27418C order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.

How does the back closure work and can I adjust the fit at the back?

PS27418C closes with a single center zipper that runs down the back of the dress. The back itself is fully open — almost the entire back is bare — and the zipper sits at the center seam. There is no lace-up panel, no corset back, and no boning, so the fit at the back is entirely determined by the size you choose rather than an adjustable closure. Because of this, getting the right size before you order is important. The zipper closure does not give you any room to cinch in or let out the back. A seamstress can take in side seams if the dress runs slightly large, but that requires removing and resetting beaded sections, which adds cost and time. If you are between sizes, size up and plan to have the waist or bust taken in rather than trying to force a smaller size. For a strapless open-back gown like this, a low-back or backless bra or adhesive chest tape is the typical undergarment choice. The stretch jersey holds its shape well and provides some structure at the strapless neckline, but additional support from adhesive tape or a low-back solution is recommended for comfort during a full evening or competition.

Can I order matching gowns for a court or damas group in PS27418C?

Yes — Portia and Scarlett PS27418C is available in both Black/Blue and Black/Pink, and Marlas Fashions can accommodate group orders in either colorway. If you are dressing a court, damas group, or bridal party in this style, the key is to order all sizes at the same time so they ship together from the same lot. Beading and dye lots can vary slightly between production runs, so matching gowns should come from the same order where possible. Contact the Marlas team before placing a large group order to confirm that all required sizes are in stock in your chosen colorway. Rush options are available for groups as well, but confirming stock and lead times in advance is especially important when multiple people are depending on the same delivery window. The team can also advise on coordinating accessories or suggest complementary styles if you want some members of the group in a different silhouette while keeping the color story consistent.

How does PS27418C fit and should I size up or down?

PS27418C fits true to the Portia and Scarlett size chart in most cases. The stretch jersey base gives a small amount of give, but this is still a fitted gown — it is designed to sit close to the body at the bust, waist, and hips. Measure all three points before ordering and compare to the size chart. If you are between sizes, size up. The waist and bust can be taken in by a seamstress, which is a simpler alteration than letting a fully beaded gown out. Do not size down hoping the stretch will compensate — a fully beaded gown has limited stretch once the fabric is under tension from the bead weight. Bust is usually the deciding measurement for a strapless gown. If your bust and waist fall into different size ranges, prioritize the bust and alter the waist. Your local tailor or formal-wear specialist should be comfortable with this type of adjustment on a structured jersey gown.

What occasions and events is PS27418C best suited for?

PS27418C is built for high-impact events. Prom is the primary occasion — the fully beaded surface, front high slit, and open back all read as prom-night drama. It is equally strong for pageant competitions, where the all-over Art Deco beading pattern and the sleek fitted silhouette show well under stage lighting. For other formal evening events — a gala, an upscale dinner, or a high-profile evening occasion — PS27418C works well when you want to make a statement. The open back and front slit do make this a more revealing style, so it suits events where that level of glamour is appropriate. As a wedding guest, this style works best at evening or black-tie receptions where a more glamorous look is welcome. Both colorways work for any of these occasions. Black/Blue gives a deep jewel-toned look that photographs beautifully under event lighting. Black/Pink is warmer and bolder, which stands out well in competition settings and on a prom stage.

What undergarments work best with a strapless open-back gown like this?

Because PS27418C is both strapless and open-back, traditional bras are not an option. The most common solutions are fashion tape or adhesive chest strips applied directly to the skin and the dress interior for lift and security at the bust, a low-back or backless adhesive bra, or silicone stick-on cups. The stretch jersey lining under the beading provides some light structure at the strapless neckline, so many wearers find that fashion tape alone is sufficient for a few hours of wear. For a full evening, competition, or any situation where you will be dancing or moving a lot, adhesive cups or a dedicated low-back bra solution will give more reliable support. For shapewear under the skirt, a low-rise option that sits below the hip is the cleanest choice given how fitted the silhouette is. Avoid anything that adds bulk at the hip or thigh, as the beaded jersey will show any lines underneath.
