Description
About the Dress: Ellie Wilde EW38127
Ellie Wilde EW38127 is a strapless chiffon print ballgown with a sweetheart neckline, a tiered ruffle skirt, and a high slit. The gown is photographed in Blue/Multi and Yellow/Multi, and is also available in Pink/Multi and White/Multi. A floral print runs across the entire chiffon fabric, and the full, voluminous skirt creates a dramatic ballgown silhouette from the waist down. Separate spaghetti straps are included for an alternate look.
Fit & Silhouette
EW38127 is a true ballgown — the bodice is structured and fitted through the bust, then the skirt fans out into multiple tiers of flowing chiffon. The sweetheart strapless neckline frames the décolletage, while boning channels inside the bodice provide shaping and support without the need for a separate bra. The skirt is voluminous and skims the floor with a small train. A high slit runs through the skirt, adding movement and ease of walking. Ellie Wilde EW38127 runs true to size; ordering your regular size is the best starting point, but measuring your bust, waist, and hips against the designer's size chart is always recommended before placing your order.
Fabric & Detail
The base fabric is chiffon throughout — lightweight, fluid, and well-suited to the layered tiered construction of the skirt. A floral print covers the entirety of the chiffon, making the print a defining feature of the gown rather than an accent. The tiered ruffle layers create texture and movement as you walk. Floral appliqué details appear at the hip area, adding a dimensional accent that complements the printed fabric beneath. The back closes with a lace-up corset closure, with boning channels clearly visible in the bodice for structure and fit customization.

Style & Occasion
Ellie Wilde EW38127 is built for high-impact formal events. It is an excellent choice for prom, formal dances, sweet 16 celebrations, and debut balls. The dramatic tiered skirt and floral print make it a standout on any dance floor, while the corset back allows for a custom fit on the night. The high slit keeps movement comfortable throughout the evening. Style it with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewelry to let the print do the work — or add a statement earring to complement the floral appliqué at the hip. The included spaghetti straps offer a second styling option for guests who prefer additional support. Available at Marlas Fashions in Blue/Multi, Pink/Multi, White/Multi, and Yellow/Multi.

Frequently Asked Questions
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on unworn, unaltered gowns in their original condition with tags attached. If EW38127 arrives and the fit is not right or the colorway is not what you expected, you have a few options: a full exchange for another size or colorway, store credit that never expires, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee.
The 30% restocking fee is standard across the industry for special-occasion gowns ordered to size, and it reflects the handling and reprocessing cost of returning a formal dress. Store credit is our most popular option because it carries forward your full purchase amount — no deduction — and never has an expiration date, so you can use it whenever you find your next dress.
If you are unsure about sizing between two sizes in EW38127, we genuinely recommend ordering the larger size and having the gown taken in by a local tailor. The corset lace-up back on this gown also gives you meaningful adjustability on the night, which can bridge a small fit gap if needed. Taking in a gown is almost always straightforward and far less expensive than a return and reorder.
To start a return or exchange, contact us as soon as possible after your gown arrives. Our team will walk you through the process and confirm eligibility before you ship anything back. Returns sent without prior authorization may not be accepted.
We want you to feel confident ordering EW38127 from Marlas Fashions. If you have specific concerns about fit, colorway accuracy, or delivery timing before you order, our team is here to answer them — reach out and we will give you the honest information you need to make the right decision. Steaming on low from the inside is the safest way to release travel creases from the Ellie Wilde EW38127 without touching the embellishment. Order the Ellie Wilde EW38127 early in your event season - popular colorways sell through fastest, and early orders leave time for alterations.
Ellie Wilde EW38127 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouse network in Los Angeles and New York, with a Canadian fulfillment location in Toronto. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is placed. If your event is coming up soon, rush shipping is available — reach out before ordering so we can confirm the fastest option based on current stock and your destination.
Marlas Fashions ships worldwide with full tracking on every order. US and Canadian customers pay no duties or surprise import fees at delivery. International orders outside North America are fully tracked and typically arrive within a comparable timeframe, though customs clearance can vary by country.
If you need this gown by a specific date, the safest approach is to contact us directly before placing your order. We will confirm whether standard or rush shipping can meet your timeline based on current inventory levels and your shipping address. We have been shipping special-occasion gowns for over 40 years and we know how important it is to have your dress arrive with time to spare for alterations and any last-minute changes.
For in-stock styles, orders placed early in the week tend to process and ship fastest. If the colorway you want — Blue/Multi, Yellow/Multi, Pink/Multi, or White/Multi — is not immediately available, we can check production timelines with Ellie Wilde directly and give you an honest estimated ship date. We will never guess on a timeline when your event date is on the line.
In short: standard is 7 to 12 business days, rush is available on request, and all orders ship with tracking so you can follow your gown from warehouse to your front door. Every Ellie Wilde EW38127 that leaves our warehouse is inspected by hand before shipping, so the beadwork, seams, and closures arrive exactly as the designer intended. If you are between sizes on the Ellie Wilde EW38127, our team can talk you through the size chart against your own measurements before you order.
A few things set EW38127 apart from a standard chiffon ballgown. First, the all-over floral print is built into the fabric itself — this is not a plain chiffon dress with a print accent; the pattern runs across the entire skirt and bodice. Second, the tiered ruffle construction adds physical volume and movement that a flat chiffon skirt does not have. Third, the floral appliqué at the hip gives the gown a three-dimensional detail that reads as couture-level finishing on a gown at this price point.
The corset lace-up back with genuine visible boning channels is another distinguishing feature. Many gowns at this price point have a lace-up back closure without actual boning — EW38127 has both, which means real structure and a customizable fit rather than just a decorative lace-up.
Finally, the included separate spaghetti straps give you a styling option that most strapless gowns do not offer. You can wear it fully strapless for the main event and switch to straps if you want additional support during dancing or photos.
If you are comparing this gown to another chiffon ballgown for prom or a formal event, the combination of all-over print, tiered ruffles, structured boning, and the appliqué detail is genuinely difficult to find in one gown at the same price.
The back of Ellie Wilde EW38127 closes with a lace-up corset system supported by boning channels inside the bodice. The lacing runs vertically up the back, and you can tighten or loosen it to fit your torso precisely on the day you wear the gown. This gives the back meaningful adjustability — typically one to two inches in either direction from the size you order.
The corset back is particularly useful if your measurements fall between sizes or if your bust and waist differ significantly from the standard size chart proportions. A friend or stylist can lace you in on the night so the fit is exactly where you want it. It is one of the most practical closures on a formal ballgown.
The boning channels are visible and structural — they keep the bodice upright and hold the sweetheart neckline in place throughout the evening, even during dancing. You should not need additional support garments beneath this gown, though a low-back adhesive bra can be worn if preferred.
When ordering, use your true measurements rather than sizing down to rely on the lacing to compensate. The corset back works best as a fine-tuning tool, not a size correction. Order the size that fits your largest measurement, and let the lace-up do the rest.
EW38127 is available in four colorways — Blue/Multi, Pink/Multi, White/Multi, and Yellow/Multi — which gives a group a few coordination options. A court or damas group could each choose the same colorway for a uniform look, or mix colorways for a complementary effect if the event aesthetic allows it. The floral print is consistent across all colorways, so the gowns read as a set even in different colors.
For group orders, we recommend placing all sizes at the same time to ensure production from the same dye lot, which keeps color matching consistent across the group. Gowns from different order batches can occasionally vary slightly in shade, particularly on printed fabrics.
Contact our team before placing a large group order and we can check current stock levels across all four colorways, confirm availability in the sizes you need, and advise on lead time so every member of the group has their gown well before the event. Group orders of multiple gowns may also qualify for priority processing — ask us when you reach out.
EW38127 runs true to Ellie Wilde's standard size chart. Measure your bust at the fullest point, your natural waist, and your hips at the widest point, then match those measurements to the Ellie Wilde size guide. If any measurement falls between two sizes, size up — the corset lace-up back can be tightened to bring in extra room, and a tailor can take in the bodice if needed.
The structured boning in the bodice means the fit through the bust and waist will be more precise than a non-boned gown, so accurate measurements before ordering are especially important. Do not estimate — measure twice with a soft tape measure and have someone help you if possible.
If you need help interpreting your measurements against the size chart, text or WhatsApp our team at the numbers below and we can walk you through it before you order. We want your EW38127 to fit well from the moment it arrives. Our team is reachable by text at +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131.
EW38127 is primarily designed for prom and formal dances, where the dramatic tiered skirt and floral print make the most visual impact. It is also well-suited for sweet 16 celebrations, debut balls, and other formal evening events where a full ballgown silhouette is appropriate.
The gown is bold and expressive rather than understated, so it fits events where standing out is the goal. If your event has a formal dress code — floor-length gowns required — EW38127 meets that standard comfortably with its train and full skirt.
For events where a more subdued or classic look is expected, such as a formal wedding as a guest, the combination of the low-cut sweetheart strapless bodice and the high slit makes this a dress better suited to the dance floor than to a church or traditional wedding reception. It is built for events where the dress is meant to be the statement.
The boning channels inside the bodice of EW38127 are structural and provide real uplift and shaping through the bust. Most wearers find no additional undergarments are needed beneath this gown, particularly if it is ordered and fitted correctly.
If you prefer extra security or coverage, a low-back adhesive bra or silicone cups can be worn beneath the sweetheart neckline without showing. Avoid underwire bras with straps — the strapless sweetheart neckline will not conceal traditional bra straps. The separate spaghetti straps included with the gown can be added for physical reassurance if you plan on a lot of movement during the event.
For undergarment bottoms, seamless underwear or a light shapewear brief works well under the chiffon skirt. Avoid heavy compression garments that ride up to the waist — the high slit will make these visible. Light and smooth is the right approach for this silhouette. Keep the Ellie Wilde EW38127 on a padded hanger inside its garment bag between fittings to protect the shape of the bodice.
