I'm between sizes — should I size up or size down for TFB 8027?

For TFB 8027, we always recommend sizing up when you're between sizes. The mermaid silhouette is form-fitting through the hips and thighs, which means there is very little room for error if the dress is too small. The corset bodice has a lace-up back that can be tightened to cinch a smaller waist, but the hip and thigh area of a mermaid dress cannot be easily adjusted. So if you're between a US 6 and US 8, order the US 8. Measure your hips carefully — this is the most critical measurement for a mermaid dress — and size according to your largest measurement. A local tailor can always take in a dress that's slightly too big, but a dress that's too small in the hips is very difficult to alter.

Can I actually walk and dance in a mermaid dress — I'm worried about being restricted.

This is the most common concern we hear about mermaid dresses, and it's a valid one! TFB 8027 is specifically designed with a dramatic high side slit that solves this problem. The slit allows your legs to move freely, so you can walk, dance, and climb stairs without feeling restricted. The mermaid skirt hugs your body from the waist to the knee, and then the slit opens up below that point to give you full range of motion. Most customers are pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to move in this dress once they try it on. The key is making sure the dress fits correctly through the hips — if it's too tight in the hips, movement will be restricted. If it fits well, the slit does the rest of the work.

Will the off-the-shoulder sleeves stay up all night — or will I be constantly adjusting them?

The off-the-shoulder draped sleeves on TFB 8027 are designed to sit securely on your upper arms without slipping. They are constructed as part of the dress structure rather than being loose or detachable, so they stay in place naturally as you move. The corset bodice underneath provides the primary support for the dress, which means the sleeves don't need to do any heavy lifting — they're a style element that frames your shoulders beautifully. Most customers find they don't need to adjust the sleeves at all throughout the night. If you're concerned, a small piece of fashion tape on the inside of the sleeve can provide extra security for dancing.

What does 'Sage' look like — is it more green or more grey?

Sage on TFB 8027 is a soft, muted green with subtle grey undertones — think of it as a dusty, sophisticated green rather than a bright or vivid green. It's one of the most elegant and on-trend colors in our collection, and it photographs beautifully in both indoor and outdoor settings. The lustrous satin fabric adds a gentle sheen to the sage color, giving it a rich, dimensional quality that looks stunning under event lighting. It pairs beautifully with gold or rose gold accessories. Sky Blue is a soft, powder blue — light and airy, perfect for a romantic look. Pink is a classic, feminine pink with a warm undertone. All three colors have a luminous quality thanks to the high-luster satin fabric.

How long will it take to get my dress — and what if it doesn't fit?

TFB 8027 is a ready-to-ship style, which means your dress ships within 24 hours of your order being placed. Standard shipping typically takes 5–10 business days depending on your location. We strongly recommend ordering as early as possible to allow time for any alterations if needed — most local tailors can adjust a mermaid dress within 1–2 weeks. To maximize your chances of a perfect fit on the first try, please measure your bust, waist, and hips carefully before ordering and compare to our size chart. Prom dress sizing often runs differently from everyday clothing. If your dress arrives and the fit isn't right, please contact our customer service team within 7 days of receiving your order and we will do our best to find a solution.
