Ellie Wilde EW37027 Fitted Lace Mermaid Trumpet Gown with Floral Appliqués

Ellie Wilde EW37027 is designed for anyone who wants a gown that commands attention from every angle — front and back. The combination of structured lace, a fitted silhouette, and that open back makes it one of the most striking options in the Ellie Wilde collection.

Fit & Silhouette

EW37027 follows a true mermaid trumpet cut — it hugs the body through the bust, waist, and hips, then flares out below the knee into a soft trumpet hem with a sweep train. This is a body-contouring silhouette, so it requires accurate measurements to size correctly.

The bodice is structured with visible boning channels that hold the shape and keep everything in place throughout the night. The v-neckline opens into a narrow center-front plunge, giving a sleek, elongating effect without excessive exposure up front. The back is where the real drama happens: crisscross lace-up straps frame an open back with full back exposure visible around the lacing.

We strongly recommend ordering by your largest measurement and having a seamstress take in where needed. Standard sizing typically runs true to the designer's size chart — always measure bust, waist, and hips, and compare all three to the Ellie Wilde size guide before choosing your size.

Fabric & Detail

The gown is constructed in lace throughout, with floral appliqués layered across the bodice and continuing down into the skirt. Small rhinestone and bead accents are worked into the appliqués, catching light as you move. The lace sits over a structured underlayer that maintains the mermaid shape without feeling stiff.

The sweep train is part of the skirt construction — it flows naturally from the trumpet flare and adds length at the back without needing a bustle. The crisscross back straps are part of the lace-up closure, which allows some adjustment at the waist and back for a more customized fit.

Style & Occasion

Ellie Wilde EW37027 is built for prom. The combination of a sleek fitted mermaid silhouette, lace floral details, an open back, and a train gives it the kind of presence that works on a large ballroom floor. It reads formal and polished from the front, and dramatic and bold from the back.

For shoes, a strappy heeled sandal in metallic silver, gold, or a colorway that matches your gown works best — the open back and low-cut back mean your shoes get noticed too. Keep jewelry minimal: a pair of simple drop earrings or small studs let the lace and the back do the talking. A delicate bracelet works if you want a little extra shine at the wrist.

Magenta is a vivid, warm pink-red — very bold and high-impact under event lighting. Light Blue reads soft and cool, almost lavender-adjacent in some lighting conditions. Sea Mist is a muted sage-green with grey undertones, understated and distinctive on the floor. All three are photographed so you can compare them directly.
