Frequently Asked Questions

What is your return policy, and can I try the dress on at home before committing?

Yes — you can try Ellie Wilde EW37106 at home, and if it is not right, you have three return options. First, you can return it for store credit that never expires. Second, you can exchange it for a different size or style. Third, you can return it for a refund less a 30% restocking fee. To be eligible, the dress must be unworn, unaltered, and returned in its original condition with tags attached. The reason we frame it this way — try it on at home — is that ordering online is genuinely the best way to compare a dress like EW37106 against others in the running. You will see how the fitted jersey skirt moves, how the lace-up back adjusts to your torso, and how the beaded bodice photographs under your own lighting. A dressing-room try-on rarely gives you that picture. A few practical tips: try EW37106 over a thong or seamless underwear (there is no built-in brief in the skirt, and the high slit makes seams visible). Put the dress on with help — the lace-up crisscross closure at the back is easier to close with a second person adjusting the tension evenly. Take photos front, side, and back so you can compare it against any other gown you are deciding between. Then make your decision with the full picture. If anything about the fit or condition is not what you expected when the package arrives, reach out to us right away — before you alter or wear the dress — and we will walk you through the return or exchange process step by step. Our team is here to make sure you end up in the right dress for your night, not just the first one you opened. Every Ellie Wilde EW37106 that leaves our warehouse is inspected by hand before shipping, so the beadwork, seams, and closures arrive exactly as the designer intended.

What makes Ellie Wilde EW37106 different from other fitted beaded prom gowns?

Most fitted prom gowns with a beaded bodice put all their detail work in one place — either the top or the skirt — and keep the other half plain. EW37106 layers its details in a way that makes the whole dress feel considered. The beaded illusion-mesh bodice has visible boning channels running through it, which means the structure is built in and visible as part of the design rather than hidden. The smooth jersey skirt is cut with diagonal ruching across the hip, which breaks up the solid fabric and adds a sculptural quality without adding bulk. Then the very high front slit opens the silhouette dramatically at the bottom. And the back is fully open around a lace-up crisscross closure, so even the closure detail reads as intentional. The result is a gown where every section is doing something. The bodice sparkles and holds its shape. The skirt drapes and flows. The slit creates movement. The back is the focal point when you walk away. That combination is harder to find than it sounds — a lot of gowns in this category are either all-sparkle or all-sleek, and EW37106 is both at once. The silhouette is also worth noting specifically: EW37106 is a fitted gown, not a mermaid. The high slit means the skirt does not need to flare at the knee to create movement — it opens from the slit instead. This keeps the line of the body long and unbroken from waist to floor, which is a cleaner silhouette for most body types than a mermaid flare. Finally, the two colorways — Light Pink and Black — are genuinely different moods. Light Pink is soft and photogenic under warm or coloured prom lighting. Black is graphic and sharp with high contrast in photos. Neither colorway is an afterthought; both are fully photographed so you can see exactly what you are getting.

How does the lace-up crisscross closure on the back work, and how much can it adjust?

The back of Ellie Wilde EW37106 is fully open, and the closure is a lace-up crisscross that runs down the centre of the open back. The lacing crosses back and forth between anchor points on both sides, and you tighten or loosen it by adjusting the tension as you lace. It works similarly to a corset back, but the construction on EW37106 is a crisscross style on a fitted long gown rather than a ballgown corset. The adjustment range is meaningful — typically one to two inches in either direction from the size you order. If you are between sizes, you can usually size down and let the lacing out, or size up and pull it in, rather than needing an exact fit off the rack. That said, the boning in the bodice is sized to your dress size, so the fit around the ribcage and bust is most accurate when you order your true size. Practically speaking: lace-up closures are easiest to do with a second person. Have someone start at the top anchor point and work down, keeping even tension on each cross so the closure lies flat and symmetric. Once it is laced, tie it off at the bottom and tuck the ends neatly. The open back means the lacing is visible, so how it looks when tied is part of the dress's styling — neat and even lacing reads as intentional and polished.

Can a whole prom court or damas group coordinate with EW37106?

EW37106 works well as a centrepiece gown for a queen or lead — the beaded bodice and open back give it a distinct focal quality that reads as the statement piece in a group. If you want the whole court in EW37106, both Light Pink and Black are in production, so you can split the group across colorways or keep everyone in one. For a mixed group where EW37106 is worn by one person and the court wears something coordinating, look for fitted long gowns in the same colorway with a simpler bodice — jersey or solid fabric without the heavy beading — so the silhouette family matches but the detail level steps down for the court. Ellie Wilde has several styles in the same length and fabric family that pair cleanly. If you are ordering for a group, note that Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York (and Toronto for Canadian orders), with no duties on US or Canadian shipments. Standard delivery runs seven to twelve business days, and rush options are available if your event date is close. Order all group dresses in the same transaction if possible so they ship together and you can compare them side by side when they arrive.

How does EW37106 fit, and should I size up or order my usual size?

Ellie Wilde EW37106 is a fitted gown, which means it is cut to follow the body closely through the bust, waist, and hips. There is no ease built into the silhouette — it is designed to fit close. For most people, that means ordering your true size based on the designer's size chart using your bust, waist, and hip measurements, with your hip measurement being the one that usually determines the size in a fitted gown like this. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up rather than down. The lace-up crisscross back gives you room to take the bodice in at the back if needed, but the hip and skirt panel are fixed — there is no lacing at the hip — so going too small through the hip is harder to correct without a tailor. Sizing up and having the bodice adjusted at the back by the lacing, or having a minor seam alteration done, is the more straightforward path. For height: EW37106 is a full-length gown with a train, cut for a model height of around five feet nine inches in heels. If you are petite, budget for a hem. If you are taller, the train length may work in your favour without alteration.

What events and occasions is Ellie Wilde EW37106 actually right for?

EW37106 is designed for prom first. The combination of a beaded open-back bodice, very high front slit, and fitted jersey silhouette is built for a night where the dress is supposed to be noticed, and prom is the event where that intention makes the most sense. Beyond prom, EW37106 suits formal dances, pageant-adjacent events where bold styling is expected, and any event with a black-tie or cocktail-code dress requirement where an overtly fashion-forward gown is welcome. As a wedding guest, the open back and high slit make it best suited to evening or black-tie receptions; for more traditional ceremonies, a covered style is usually the better choice, and it is not a mother-of-the-bride style. If you are dressing for a gala or charity event where standing out is part of the brief, EW37106 can work, but confirm the event dress code allows for open backs before committing. In either Light Pink or Black, the gown photographs exceptionally well under event lighting, which makes it a strong choice for any occasion where photos matter as much as the event itself.

What undergarments work with EW37106, and does the bodice have built-in support?

The beaded corset bodice of EW37106 has visible boning channels built into it, which means the bodice holds its shape and provides real lift and support through the bust. For most people, a strapless bra or a traditional bra is not needed — and the thin spaghetti straps and open back make most bra styles impossible to wear without showing anyway. For the skirt: the high front slit and fitted jersey fabric make seam lines and underwear edges visible. A thong or seamless brief is the right choice here. Spanx-style shorts are an option only if the leg hem sits above the slit opening — if the shorts extend lower than the slit, they will be visible when you walk or sit. For the back: the lace-up crisscross closure is fully exposed as a styling detail, so there is nothing to hide there. Wear your hair styled intentionally around it — up or pulled to one side — so the back closure reads as designed rather than covered.

Can EW37106 be hemmed or altered, and what should I tell my tailor?

Yes, EW37106 can be hemmed and altered. The most common alteration for this style is a length hem, especially for petite wearers. Tell your tailor that the skirt has diagonal ruching running across the hip panel — any alteration to the skirt seams needs to account for that so the ruching direction stays intact. A tailor who works with formal gowns will know how to handle it. For the bodice: the boning channels are built into the beaded fabric, so any taking-in or letting-out at the side seams of the bodice needs to be done carefully to avoid cutting through boning. Again, a formal-wear tailor is the right person for this, not a general alterations shop. For the train: if you want to reduce the train length or bustle it for dancing, that is a straightforward alteration. Bustling a train on a fitted gown like this is usually a simple hook-and-eye arrangement added by the tailor — ask specifically for a French bustle or an American bustle and your tailor will walk you through which works best for the train shape on EW37106.
