About the Dress: Faviana E11201Faviana E11201 is a floor-length plus size mermaid gown in stretch satin with a beaded floral appliqué bodice and a dramatic lace-up open back. The scoop neckline is framed by thin spaghetti straps that cross at the upper back and continue into a crisscross lace-up construction running the full length of the open back — that back view is one of the most distinctive things about this gown. Faviana E11201 is available in six colorways: Sage Green, Gold, Royal, Red, Light Pink, and Bubblegum Pink, with five of those shades photographed in the current image set.Fit & SilhouetteThe mermaid silhouette means the gown follows the body closely through the bust, natural waist, and hips before flaring out below the knee into a sweep train. There is very little ease built into the hip and thigh section — that fitted drape through the lower body is the whole point of the silhouette. Size to your largest measurement, and when you are between sizes, go up: the hip seams in a mermaid gown have minimal seam allowance to let out, but a slightly roomy waist is easy to take in. The stretch satin has moderate give that helps with movement once you are in the gown, but the structured beaded bodice does not flex in the same way, so upper-body measurements matter as much as the hip. Faviana samples are cut for roughly five feet seven to five feet eight inches — shorter frames will need a hem, taller frames will find the train sits at a practical length naturally.Fabric & DetailThe base fabric is a high-sheen stretch satin that photographs beautifully under event lighting and holds its shape through a full evening. The bodice is covered in dimensional beaded floral appliqués — individual pieces sewn onto the satin rather than glued — so they hold their attachment through dancing, sitting, and moving. Ruching at the lower back draws the eye toward the train and gives the silhouette a clean, structured finish at the back hem. The lace-up crisscross construction at the open back is a genuine design feature, not a closure that disappears into the dress — it is visible and architectural in person.Key Features Floor-length plus size mermaid silhouette fitted through bust, waist, and hips Scoop neckline with thin spaghetti straps crossing into a crisscross lace-up open back Beaded floral appliqués covering the full bodice, sewn and dimensionally applied High-sheen stretch satin base with ruching at the lower back Sweep train at the hem Six colorways: Sage Green, Gold, Royal, Red, Light Pink, Bubblegum Pink Traditional bra not compatible — adhesive tape, silicone cups, or a low-back strapless bra work best Style & OccasionFaviana E11201 is built for occasions where a floor-length gown with real embellishment is expected. Prom is the clearest fit — the body-forward mermaid silhouette, the beaded bodice, and the lace-up open back all read exactly right for a formal prom entrance and hold their presence through a full evening. Formal galas and black-tie events are another strong category: the combination of stretch satin, dimensional beading, and open-back construction places this gown at the upper end of formal dressing. New Year's Eve events with a formal dress code suit Faviana E11201 well, particularly in Gold or Red, which carry a celebratory warmth under event lighting. Holiday galas and formal award dinners in a ballroom setting are also realistic occasions when the dress code calls for floor-length gowns. The open lace-up back and fitted mermaid silhouette mean this gown does not meet the modesty threshold for wedding-guest events — it is designed to make an impact in settings where that level of presence is exactly what the occasion calls for. For styling: a strappy heeled shoe in a metallic or tonal finish balances the fitted skirt proportion, and wearing hair up fully exposes the lace-up back, which is one of the strongest features of this gown.
