Sherri Hill 56198 Strapless Beaded Corset Fitted Satin Gown with High Slit

Fit & Silhouette

Sherri Hill 56198 fits close to the body through the bust, waist, and hips — a true fitted silhouette. The boning in the corset bodice holds structure without relying on straps, so the gown stays in place when you move. The satin skirt follows the line of the hip all the way down, with the high front slit providing freedom of movement and ease when walking. The sweep train adds length at the back without bulk. This style runs consistent with standard Sherri Hill sizing. If you are between sizes, size up for the hips and plan to have the bodice taken in — the corset lace-up back allows a small amount of adjustment as well. Petite wearers should budget for hemming at the train.

Fabric & Detail

The skirt is satin — smooth, structured, and substantial enough to hold the fitted shape through the hip and thigh. The bodice is overlaid with lace appliqué and beaded embroidery, giving it texture and dimension against the clean satin base. The sheer illusion mesh panel down the center front and across the back bodice creates a peekaboo effect without adding bulk. The back of the gown is open to the waist, framed by the illusion panel and the corset lace-up closure. Beading on the bodice catches light from every angle, making this gown particularly striking under ballroom and event lighting.

Style & Occasion

Sherri Hill 56198 is built for prom and formal evening events where you want a gown that reads high-impact. The beaded corset bodice and open back make it a strong choice for prom, black-tie-adjacent formal dinners, and evening galas. The high slit and sleek silhouette keep it in sleek-and-sexy territory rather than traditional ballgown territory, so it suits confident wearers who want a fitted, fashion-forward look rather than a full skirt. Red photographs dramatically under stage and ballroom lighting. Peacock — a deep teal-blue — reads rich and saturated in person. The full color range of 15 options means you can coordinate with a group or stand out solo. For group styling, the clean sweetheart neckline works well across different body types if damas or court members are in coordinating styles.
