Ellie Wilde EW37114 Strapless Mermaid Lace Beaded Gown with Train

EW37114 is available in Black, Red, Sea Mist, and Violet — four distinct colorways that each photograph differently and suit different skin tones.

Fit & Silhouette

Ellie Wilde EW37114 follows a true mermaid shape: the bodice and skirt hug the body closely through the bust, waist, and hips, then flare out below the knee into a full, floor-sweeping hem with a train. There is no slit — the flare is created entirely by the skirt construction below the knee.

The bodice is structured with vertical boning channels that run through the sheer mesh side panels, giving the gown real internal support. The sweetheart neckline sits off the chest without straps. The full back is open — there is no closure, zipper, or lace-up at the back; the structure is held entirely by the internal boning and the fit of the bodice.

Fabric & Detail

The bodice and upper skirt are covered in lace appliqué with beaded and embroidered detailing. The lace pieces are applied over a mesh panel that allows the boning to show through as a deliberate design feature. The lower skirt transitions into a tulle layer printed with a geometric glitter-thread pattern that catches light as you move.

The beading is concentrated in the appliqué work on the bodice and upper skirt rather than scattered across the full gown. The train adds length and movement at the back hem without adding bulk.

Style & Occasion

Ellie Wilde EW37114 is designed to make a statement at prom, formal dances, evening galas, and black-tie-adjacent events. The combination of an open back, structured corset bodice, and sweeping mermaid train places this firmly in high-impact formal territory.

The Red colorway is the most dramatic and photographs with the most contrast. Black is the most versatile for evening events. Sea Mist works well for cooler complexions and photographs with a soft, luminous quality. Violet is a bold alternative that stands apart on a prom floor.

Because the back is fully open, this gown is best styled with minimal accessories at the back — a simple updo and stud or drop earrings let the silhouette speak for itself. Strappy heels or platform sandals both work well with the mermaid hem length.
