Ellie Wilde EW38040 Strapless Beaded Corset Gown with High Slit with Sweep Train

Fit & Silhouette

EW38040 is a sleek, body-skimming gown that contours through the bust, waist, and hips all the way to the floor. The boned corset bodice cinches the waist and holds its shape throughout the night. The high slit allows for full movement without pulling. The lace-up back lets you dial in the fit at home — useful if you land between sizes. This gown is cut true to size; Ellie Wilde recommends ordering your standard size and scheduling alterations for hemming if needed, as floor-length gowns almost always need length adjustments based on your height and heel choice.

Fabric & Detail

The base fabric is satin-faced jersey — a stretch fabric with a smooth, slightly lustrous surface that photographs well and moves with the body. Beading and hot-stone accents are distributed across the bodice and continue into the skirt, so the dress catches light from every angle. The standout detail is a beaded bow-shaped appliqué at the hip constructed from the same beading and stones. Boning channels run vertically through the corset bodice, giving the top of the gown a structured, sculpted look without requiring a separate strapless bra for most wearers. The lace-up corset closure at the back is finished cleanly and is adjustable after the dress arrives.

Style & Occasion

Ellie Wilde EW38040 is styled for prom, formal dances, and evening events where you want a gown that makes an impact. The combination of an open corset back, high slit, and all-over beading makes it a bold choice for prom night and formal galas. The included spaghetti straps give you a slightly more covered alternative look if you prefer it. For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal in metallic gold, silver, or a tone that matches your colorway works well — the high slit shows footwear, so it is worth choosing something you like. Keep jewelry minimal: the beading does most of the work, so small earrings or none at all let the gown read clearly. A small beaded or metallic clutch rounds out the look. The gown is available in Chocolate, Fuchsia, Light Pink, Navy Blue, Ocean Blue, and Raspberry — each colorway is photographed so you can see the exact shade before ordering.
