Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does Portia and Scarlett PS27436C ship, and where does it ship from?

Portia and Scarlett PS27436C ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles, New York, and — for Canadian customers — Toronto. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is placed and confirmed. If you have a specific event date in mind, rush shipping is available at checkout, and we recommend selecting it whenever your event is within three weeks. US and Canadian customers pay no duties or import fees — that cost is fully absorbed. International orders ship with full tracking and are delivered worldwide, though duties and import charges may apply depending on the destination country. Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number by email so you can follow the package in real time. If you need to confirm timing for a specific date — especially for prom or a pageant — our team can check current stock and lead times for you directly. The best way to reach us is by text at +1 416-536-2956 or on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131. We are happy to give you a straight answer on whether the gown will arrive in time before you place the order, so there are no surprises. Marlas Fashions has been an authorized Portia and Scarlett retailer for over 40 years, and every dress is inspected before it ships. PS27436C is available in Pink and Periwinkle — if you are ordering Periwinkle, which is not photographed on the site, we can confirm current availability before you commit. Every PS27436C order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the PS27436C, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the PS27436C sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick. Our stylists fit the PS27436C in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs.

What is the return policy if PS27436C does not work out, and can I try it on at home first?

Yes — Marlas Fashions ships the gown to you so you can try it on at home before committing fully. If Portia and Scarlett PS27436C does not work out for any reason, you have three return options. The first is a full store credit that never expires — this is the most popular choice for customers who want to try another style or colorway. The second is an exchange for a different size, color, or style. The third is a refund to your original payment method, which is processed minus a 30% restocking fee. To be eligible for any of these options, the gown must be returned in its original unworn, unaltered condition with tags attached. We recommend trying it on carefully over the champagne beige lining — avoid contact with makeup, deodorant, or jewelry that could snag the beading — before making a final decision. Because PS27436C is a fully beaded, structured mermaid gown with a corset bodice and an open back, fit is especially important to verify at home. The boning provides shape and hold, but the silhouette is very fitted through the hips and knees, so confirming the fit in person before any alterations are made is the right move. If you are between sizes or unsure how the mermaid silhouette will sit on your frame, our team can help you think through sizing before you order. Every PS27436C order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless.

What makes PS27436C different from other fully beaded mermaid gowns at the same price point?

The main things that separate Portia and Scarlett PS27436C from similar gowns are the combination of full beading coverage, the open back, and the boned corset bodice all in one dress. A lot of beaded mermaid gowns are beaded on the bodice only — the skirt is plain or only partially covered. PS27436C carries the beading top to bottom, from the sweetheart neckline all the way through the fitted skirt and into the train. There are no plain fabric panels. The corset bodice has visible vertical boning channels, which means it holds its shape and supports the bust without a separate strapless bra. The back is fully open — framed by the boning structure — which creates a dramatic contrast between the heavily embellished front and the clean, exposed back. The small teardrop keyhole cutout at the center bust is another detail that sets it apart: it adds a refined focal point to the sweetheart neckline without making the front feel overly cut. The sheer mesh base with a champagne beige lining gives the beading a warm, luminous base that reads differently under event lighting than a plain fabric backing would. All of these details come together in one silhouette, which is what makes this gown stand out in a category with a lot of similar-looking options.

How does the back closure on PS27436C work, and can it be adjusted for fit?

Portia and Scarlett PS27436C has a fully open back — the boning structure of the corset bodice frames the back, but the skin is fully exposed from the top of the bodice down through the lower back. Because the back is open rather than laced or hooked, there is no traditional closure to adjust for fit. The fit is determined entirely by the sizing of the gown itself and the structure of the boned corset bodice. The boning holds the bodice in place and provides compression through the bust and torso without any external fastening. This means getting the size right from the start is especially important. If the bodice is too large, there is no lace-up panel to cinch it in — a tailor would need to take in the side seams or the back panels. If the bodice fits well but the skirt is slightly loose, the extremely fitted mermaid skirt can also be adjusted by a tailor. We recommend ordering based on your largest measurement and having any needed alterations done locally after the gown arrives.

Can a whole prom court or damas group wear PS27436C, and does it come in enough colors to coordinate?

PS27436C is available in two colorways — Pink and Periwinkle — which is enough for a coordinated look across a small group or court. Both colorways carry the same fully beaded construction and mermaid silhouette, so the gowns read as a cohesive set even if different people wear different colors. For a larger court or damas group that needs four or more distinct colors, PS27436C's two-color range may be limiting, and it would be worth looking at whether Portia and Scarlett offers companion styles in the same season with additional colorways. If you are coordinating a group order, our team can confirm current stock across both colors and help stagger sizing orders so everyone gets what they need. Group orders sometimes benefit from being placed together to avoid one colorway selling out mid-order — our concierge team at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp +1 213-868-3131 can walk you through the best approach for your group size and event date.

Does PS27436C run true to size, and how should I measure myself for the best fit?

Portia and Scarlett PS27436C runs close to standard formal wear sizing, but because it is a mermaid silhouette with a fully boned corset bodice and an extremely fitted skirt, the fit is less forgiving than a dress with a flared or A-line skirt. Take three measurements before ordering: bust, natural waist, and fullest part of the hips. Use a soft tape measure and measure over the undergarments you plan to wear with the gown. Compare all three numbers to the Portia and Scarlett size chart — if your measurements fall between sizes, order up. The boning in the bodice provides compression, so going up a size does not mean the bodice will look baggy; a tailor can take in minor excess. The fitted skirt through the hips and knees is the measurement most likely to be the deciding factor. If your hips are the largest measurement relative to the size chart, let that guide your size selection and plan for any bodice adjustments afterward.

What occasions is Portia and Scarlett PS27436C actually right for?

PS27436C is designed for high-impact formal occasions where a fully beaded, body-conscious gown fits the dress code. It is most directly suited for prom and pageant. The dense bead coverage, dramatic mermaid train, and open back align with exactly what prom and pageant styling calls for. The gown is overtly fitted and sexy — the fully open back and sleek silhouette are intentional design choices that make it a strong prom statement piece and a natural pageant contender. Because of the exposed back and the overtly bodycon design, this gown is not the right choice for wedding guest events, mother-of-the-bride, or any occasion where modest coverage is expected. It is a dress that is built to be noticed, and it performs best in environments where that is the goal. Every PS27436C order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the PS27436C, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the PS27436C sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick.

What undergarments work with a strapless, open-back, fully beaded gown like PS27436C?

Because PS27436C is strapless with a fully open back, traditional bras are not an option — the back is completely exposed and straps would show. The good news is that the boned corset bodice is designed to replace a bra entirely. The vertical boning channels compress the torso and support the bust without any external undergarment. Most customers find they do not need anything additional under the bodice. For the lower body, a seamless or low-rise thong in a neutral tone works best under the extremely fitted skirt — anything with a visible waistband or seam line will show through the beading. If you want additional shaping through the hips or thighs, a seamless mid-thigh shaping short in a champagne or skin-matching tone is the most discreet option. Stick-on silicone cups are another option for additional bust coverage or lift if you prefer them over relying solely on the boning, though most customers find the boning alone is sufficient.
