Description
About the Dress: Ellie Wilde EW38219
Ellie Wilde EW38219 is a floor-length a-line gown built in glitter tulle with lace appliqués and stone accents throughout. The bodice is a sweetheart neckline with a structured corset construction, and the dress ships with detachable off-the-shoulder straps so you can wear it two ways. Hidden pockets are sewn into the skirt. Sizes run 00 through 24, and the gown is available in Bluebell, Strawberry, and Wine.
Fit & Silhouette
EW38219 follows a classic a-line shape — the bodice fits close to the body from the sweetheart neckline down through the natural waist, then the skirt releases into a full, floor-sweeping silhouette. The corset bodice has boning sewn in, so the structure holds its shape without a separate bra. The lace-up back lets you dial in the fit across the waist and ribcage after the dress arrives, which is especially helpful if you land between sizes. With the detachable straps attached, the neckline reads as an off-the-shoulder style. Remove them and the sweetheart shape stands on its own. The full skirt has enough volume to move freely, but the silhouette stays controlled rather than dramatically poufy.
Fabric & Detail
The base fabric is glitter tulle — the shimmer is woven into the tulle itself, not applied on top, so it catches light evenly across the entire gown rather than in patches. Lace appliqués with stone accents are placed across the bodice and continue down into the skirt, with three-dimensional floral lace motifs that you can feel as well as see. The detail image shows the stone accents sitting directly on the lace, adding a fine sparkle on top of the tulle's base shimmer. The construction is clean throughout — no raw edges or visible seams where the appliqués meet the tulle.

Style & Occasion
Ellie Wilde EW38219 is built for prom and formal evening events where you want serious sparkle and a structured silhouette that holds up through a long night. The glitter tulle reads as formal without being over-the-top, and the lace appliqués give it enough texture and detail to stand out in photos. It works equally well for galas, formal dances, and evening events where a floor-length gown is the right call. The two-strap configuration softens the look slightly and suits venues with a dress code that leans conservative; going strapless brings the sweetheart neckline forward for a bolder finish. Wine photographs deep and rich under event lighting. Bluebell is a soft mid-tone blue that reads as classic formal, and Strawberry is a warm pink-red that sits between the two in intensity. All three colorways are available in the full size range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Marlas Fashions accepts returns on Ellie Wilde EW38219 within the standard return window. When you send the gown back in original, unworn, unaltered condition with all tags attached, you have three options: a store credit that never expires, an even exchange for a different size or color, or a refund to your original payment method less a 30% restocking fee.
The store credit option is genuinely useful for prom shopping because it does not expire — if you return EW38219 and decide to wait until the next season or shop for a different event, your credit sits in your account until you are ready to use it. There is no deadline and no pressure to reorder immediately.
The 30% restocking fee on cash refunds reflects the made-to-order nature of gowns like EW38219. Because the dress is produced specifically for your order rather than pulled from standing inventory, a portion of the production cost is non-recoverable when a return comes back. This is standard practice for made-to-order formal gowns across the industry.
For fit-related returns, the most common situation is a size that does not fit as expected once the gown arrives. EW38219's lace-up corset back gives you meaningful adjustment room — the lacing can typically take in or let out the bodice by an inch or more on each side — so a dress that feels slightly snug or slightly loose at the waist often adjusts to a good fit without returning. We recommend trying the lacing adjustment before initiating a return for a size issue at the waist or ribcage.
If the length is the issue rather than the fit, that is best handled through a local seamstress — hemming a tulle gown is a straightforward alteration for most formal-wear tailors and typically costs less than the restocking fee on a return.
For anything outside the standard situation — a defect, a wrong item, or a question about whether your specific return qualifies — contact the team before shipping the dress back. Returns sent without prior contact can delay processing.
Ellie Wilde EW38219 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto location. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the time your order is placed. Rush shipping is available at checkout if your event date is close — select the rush option and the team will confirm the earliest guaranteed arrival date before processing.
For US and Canadian customers, there are no import duties or customs fees on your order. International orders ship worldwide with full tracking provided at dispatch, so you can follow the package from warehouse to door.
One thing worth knowing about timing: Ellie Wilde EW38219 is a made-to-order style, meaning it is not pulled from a shelf and packed the same day. The 7-to-12 business day window accounts for production and quality inspection before the gown leaves the warehouse. Marlas Fashions inspects every dress before it ships — we check the corset bodice structure, the lace-up back, the appliqué placement, and the overall finish. If anything is off, it gets flagged before it reaches you.
If your prom or formal event is within 3 to 4 weeks, rush shipping is the safer choice. If you have 6 or more weeks, standard shipping gives you time to receive the gown, try it on, and still book a local seamstress for any length or fit adjustments before the event. We always recommend ordering as early as the size and color you want are confirmed — popular colorways like Wine sell through quickly in the months leading up to prom season, and once a size is gone, reorders can take longer than the standard window.
For any questions about a specific ship date or to confirm stock on your size and color before ordering, you can reach the Marlas Fashions team directly by text at +1 416-536-2956 or by WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131. The concierge team responds quickly and can give you a real answer about timeline rather than an estimate.
The main thing that separates EW38219 from most lace a-line gowns is the fabric combination. Most lace a-line gowns use a plain tulle or chiffon base with lace appliqués placed on top. EW38219 uses glitter tulle as the base — the shimmer is woven into the fabric itself, which means the entire skirt catches light without any additional sequin or metallic overlay. The lace appliqués then sit on top of that, so you get two layers of texture and light rather than one.
The stone accents on the appliqués add a third level of sparkle that is localized to the bodice and upper skirt, where detail reads most strongly in photos and under venue lighting. The result is a gown that photographs as very dressed-up without relying on an all-over sequin or beaded surface.
The second difference is the detachable strap system. Most off-shoulder gowns are fixed in that configuration. EW38219 ships with straps you can attach or remove, giving you two distinct looks from one purchase. The corset bodice holds its shape securely in either configuration because of the built-in boning, so the strapless version is not just a strapless-by-removal result — the structure is there to support it.
The hidden pockets are a practical differentiator. Full-length a-line gowns with working pockets are less common than shoppers expect at this price point. On a long event night, having somewhere to put your phone matters.
The back of EW38219 uses a lace-up corset closure with thin ribbon or string ties at the top, running down through a series of loops or grommets along the center back. To put the dress on, loosen the lacing fully, step in, and then tighten from the top down, pulling each cross-lace snug before tying off at the bottom. In terms of adjustment range, a corset lace-up back on a structured gown like this typically allows roughly 1 to 2 inches of take-in or let-out on each side of the bodice — so 2 to 4 inches of total circumference adjustment. This is enough to correct for the difference between adjacent standard sizes, or to account for the fact that most people's waist and ribcage measurements do not fall exactly on a size chart line. One practical note: the lacing works best when someone else ties it for you. Self-tying a corset back while wearing the gown is difficult because you cannot see the back and cannot pull the laces evenly under tension. Plan to have a friend or family member do the lacing on event day — it takes about two minutes once you know the technique. The back construction also means the gown does not require a traditional zipper alteration if your measurements are slightly off.
Yes — Ellie Wilde EW38219 is available in three colors (Bluebell, Strawberry, and Wine) and runs from sizes 00 to 16, which means a court or damas group can order matching colorways across a full range of sizes from one style number.
For group orders, the most important step is placing all orders at the same time rather than in separate transactions. Dye lots can vary slightly between production runs, so gowns ordered together are more likely to be cut from the same bolt of glitter tulle. Even a small shade variation between two Wines ordered weeks apart can be visible under event photography lighting.
If your group needs a color that works as a coordinating complement rather than an exact match — for example, a queen in Wine with damas in Bluebell — that works well with this style because all three colorways share the same lace appliqué pattern and glitter tulle base, so the gowns read as a set without being identical.
For large group orders, contact the Marlas Fashions team before placing the order to confirm current stock levels across the sizes and colors you need. Rush shipping may be available for group orders depending on lead time.
Ellie Wilde EW38219 runs close to standard US formal sizing, but the corset bodice construction means fit at the bust and waist is more precise than with a zipper-back gown. The general recommendation is to measure your bust, natural waist, and hips, then compare to Ellie Wilde's size chart rather than ordering your usual dress size by feel.
If your measurements fall between two sizes — which is common — size up rather than down. The lace-up back can take in a gown that is slightly too large at the waist, but a gown that is too small in the bodice will not lace shut without distorting the silhouette, and letting out a corset bodice requires a seamstress to re-work the boning panels.
For height: EW38219 is cut for a standard height of approximately 5'9" with heels. If you are shorter than 5'6", plan for hemming. If you are taller than 5'11", the length may work without alteration depending on your preferred hem clearance, but confirm with a fitting before the event. Hemming a glitter tulle a-line gown is a standard alteration that most formal-wear tailors handle without issue.
If you are between sizes or have questions about a specific measurement versus the size chart, the Marlas Fashions concierge team can help — text +1 416-536-2956 or WhatsApp +1 213-868-3131 for a direct answer.
EW38219 is primarily a prom gown — the glitter tulle, lace appliqués, corset bodice, and full a-line skirt are all calibrated for the prom market. It also works well for formal dances, evening galas, and formal events where a floor-length gown with full-coverage skirt and structured bodice fits the dress code.
For events with a black-tie or formal dress code, the gown reads appropriately — the silhouette is traditional, the neckline is covered (especially with straps attached), and the skirt length is correct. It is not an over-the-top embellished pageant gown, but it is clearly formal rather than cocktail.
Wine and Strawberry colorways photograph well under event lighting and are popular choices for prom courts where a rich, high-contrast color reads strongly in photos. Bluebell is a softer, more classic formal color and tends to work well for events where the color palette is more traditional.
This gown is not the right fit for wedding guest events — the full glitter tulle and lace silhouette is built for the dance floor, not a wedding reception where the focus should be on the couple. It is also not suited for semi-formal or cocktail events where a shorter length is expected.
The corset bodice in EW38219 has boning sewn in, which means the bodice holds its shape and provides lift and support on its own. For most bust sizes, you will not need a separate bra. The structured boning runs vertically through the bodice panels and the lace-up back keeps the fit tight enough that the bodice does not shift during movement.
For the sweetheart neckline configuration (straps removed), stick-on bra cups or a low-cut strapless adhesive bra can add comfort if you prefer extra coverage, but structurally the boning and lacing handle support without them. With the off-shoulder straps attached, a regular strapless bra sits low enough that it should not be visible above the neckline.
For undergarments below the waist, a seamless shaper or lightweight slip works under the tulle skirt without adding bulk. Heavy shapewear under a full tulle skirt can make the silhouette stiffer than intended and may make the pockets harder to access. A light, smooth layer is all you need.
