Frequently Asked Questions

What is the return policy if I order PS27420C and it doesn't fit or I change my mind?

Marlas Fashions accepts returns and exchanges on Portia and Scarlett PS27420C, and the process is straightforward. When your dress arrives, try it on before removing any tags or making any alterations. If the fit is not right, you have a few options: you can exchange it for a different size or colorway, return it for store credit that never expires, or return it for a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. The store credit option is the most popular because it gives you full flexibility — there is no expiry date, so you can put it toward another dress whenever you are ready. If you are comparing PS27420C to one or two other styles, ordering both and trying them at home is a practical approach. Many customers do exactly that with fully beaded gowns because the way the sequins and rhinestones catch light in person is genuinely different from what photographs show. A few things to keep in mind before you try it on at home: keep the original garment bag, all tags, and any packaging materials intact. Do not steam or press the dress before you have decided to keep it, and try it on wearing the undergarments you plan to wear to the event. Because PS27420C has a fully open back and a deep v-neckline, trying it on correctly the first time will confirm whether the silhouette and the level of exposure suit your comfort level before any alterations are booked. For exchanges, the fastest route is to contact the Marlas Fashions team directly — they can check stock availability for your preferred size and colorway and walk you through the process in real time. The Midnight colorway is not shown in the current photography, so if you are considering that option, reaching out first to confirm it matches your expectation is a smart step before purchasing. Shipping timelines matter here too: PS27420C ships in 7 to 12 business days from order, with rush options available. If you are working toward an event date, factor in time for a possible exchange or alteration appointment after delivery. The team can advise on whether your timeline is workable for a swap.

What makes PS27420C different from other beaded prom gowns — why would I choose this one over something similar?

The honest answer is that PS27420C stands out because of the combination of two things that do not always appear together at this price point: fully beaded coverage from top to bottom and a dramatically open back paired with a deep v-neckline. A lot of beaded prom gowns are beaded on the bodice and transition to a plain or lightly embellished skirt. PS27420C does not do that. The sequin and rhinestone surface runs continuously from the structured bodice all the way through the mermaid skirt and into the sweep train. When you move, the entire dress catches light — not just the top half. That is the detail that separates a fully beaded gown from a dress that is described as beaded but is really only beaded across the chest. The second distinction is the silhouette itself. PS27420C is a true mermaid — it fits closely through the body and does not release until the knees, then flares into a defined hem with a train. That is a different look from a sequin A-line or a fit-and-flare that flares from the hip. If you want a gown that reads as a deliberate fashion statement rather than a party dress, the mermaid line does that in a way other silhouettes do not. The open back is the third point of difference. It is a full open back — not a keyhole or a small cutout — exposed from the shoulders down to the low hip. Combined with the deep v at the front, the dress is designed for someone who wants maximum impact and is comfortable with that level of exposure. If you are on the fence about the open back, ordering the dress and trying it on at home before committing to alterations is the right move. Finally, the three colorways give you real range. Ivory and Lilac are both shown in the product photography, so you can compare them directly. Midnight is available to order — the team at Marlas Fashions can describe how it reads in person and whether it suits your event lighting and venue before you place the order.

How does the back closure on PS27420C work, and can it be adjusted for fit?

Portia and Scarlett PS27420C has a fully open back, so the back closure is not a traditional zipper or lace-up in the usual sense — the back is bare from the shoulders down to the low hip area. The structure of the gown is built into the bodice through boning and the fitted mesh base, which holds the dress in place without a back closure panel. Because there is no back zipper running the length of the gown, fit adjustments through the bodice need to happen at the seams rather than through a closure. This is standard for open-back mermaid gowns and any experienced formal-wear tailor will be familiar with the construction. If the dress fits through the hips but is slightly loose at the bust, a tailor can take in the side seams without disturbing the beading in most cases. If you are between sizes, size up and plan for tailoring rather than sizing down and hoping the stretch accommodates. The mermaid silhouette on PS27420C is meant to fit closely, and the mesh base fabric has minimal give compared to a stretch jersey construction. Ordering the correct size from the start is the most straightforward path to a clean fit.

Can I order matching gowns in PS27420C for a court, damas group, or bridal party?

Yes — Portia and Scarlett PS27420C is available in three colorways, which gives a group some flexibility for coordinating without being identical. A common approach is to put the lead wearer in one colorway — Ivory or Midnight, for example — and dress the court or damas in a second colorway like Lilac. Because the silhouette and embellishment are the same across all three colors, the group reads as cohesive while each person's individual color is distinct. For group orders, contacting Marlas Fashions directly is recommended before placing individual orders. The team can check inventory levels across sizes and colorways simultaneously and confirm that enough stock is available to fulfill the full group before anyone places an order. PS27420C ships from Los Angeles and New York warehouses, with Canadian orders shipping from Toronto at no additional duties. For groups, build in extra lead time. Standard shipping is 7 to 12 business days, and rush options are available if the timeline is tight. Group tailoring appointments often need to be booked several weeks out, so factoring that into your overall timeline when placing the initial order is important. Text or WhatsApp the Marlas team at the numbers on the site to coordinate a group order in one conversation.

How does PS27420C fit — is it true to size, and how should I take my measurements?

Portia and Scarlett PS27420C fits true to the Portia and Scarlett size chart in most cases. Because it is a fitted mermaid silhouette, the dress is designed to sit closely against the body through the bust, waist, and hips — there is no room built in for a loose or relaxed fit. To find your size, measure your bust at the fullest point, your natural waist, and your hips at the widest point. Compare all three measurements to the Portia and Scarlett size chart — not just one measurement. The hips are often the determining measurement on mermaid gowns because that is where the fit is tightest before the flare begins. If your hip measurement puts you in one size and your bust puts you in a smaller size, order for the hips and have the bodice adjusted by a tailor. Taking in a bodice is a standard alteration; letting out a hip seam on a fully beaded gown is more involved and less predictable. Tall customers should also note that the sweep train adds length at the back. If you are petite, hemming from the bottom is possible but involves working through the beaded hem, so factor that into your alteration budget and timeline when you book your appointment.

What events and occasions is Portia and Scarlett PS27420C suited for?

PS27420C is suited for high-formality events where a fully embellished, overtly glamorous gown is the right fit. Prom and pageants are the primary occasions — the fully beaded surface and mermaid silhouette are precisely what those events call for. It also works for formal evening events and galas where long, heavily embellished gowns are expected. Because of the fully open back and deep v-neckline, PS27420C is on the more daring end of the formality spectrum. It is not a modest gown, and it is not suited to occasions where conservative dress is expected — such as religious ceremonies, military balls, or events with a strict dress code around coverage. If you are weighing it against a slightly more covered option for a specific event, the Marlas Fashions team can help you assess whether PS27420C fits the dress code before you order. For prom specifically, both the Ivory and Lilac colorways photograph well in venue lighting. Midnight would be the strongest choice for evening lighting and dark or black-themed décor.

What undergarments work with the open back and deep v-neckline on PS27420C?

The open back and deep v-neckline on PS27420C rule out most conventional bras. A low-back adhesive bra or stick-on cups are the most practical options for the back, and they also work with the v-neckline depth at the front. Backless body tape is another approach used with deep plunge necklines. The bodice of PS27420C has internal structure — boning and the fitted mesh base provide a degree of support without external undergarments. Many customers who wear this style find the built-in structure sufficient, particularly if they are ordering the correct size. If you need additional support, a seamless adhesive solution is the right direction rather than trying to modify a conventional bra for this neckline and back combination. For the lower half, seamless or low-cut shapewear that does not extend above the hip line will not interfere with the silhouette. The mermaid fit is close, so any shapewear layer needs to be thin enough that it does not add bulk under the beaded fabric. If you are unsure about undergarment options for your specific measurements, the Marlas Fashions concierge team can advise — text +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp +1 213-868-3131 and they will walk you through it.

How long does shipping take, and do you ship PS27420C internationally?

Portia and Scarlett PS27420C ships in 7 to 12 business days from order. Rush shipping is available if your event date is close — contact the Marlas Fashions team before placing your order to confirm whether rush timing is achievable for your destination. Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York for US orders, and from Toronto for Canadian orders. There are no import duties on US or Canadian orders. International orders ship worldwide with full tracking included. If you are ordering for a specific event date, work backward from the event and build in time for any alterations after the dress arrives. For a mermaid gown that requires hemming or bodice adjustments, a tailor will typically need one to three weeks depending on their schedule. Booking that appointment before your dress arrives rather than after is the smarter approach, especially during peak prom season. Every PS27420C order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the PS27420C, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise.
