Frequently Asked Questions

What is the return policy if the EW38031 does not work for me when it arrives?

Marlas Fashions accepts returns on the Ellie Wilde EW38031 in three ways: store credit that never expires, a straight exchange for a different size or color, or a refund to your original payment method less a 30% restocking fee. The restocking fee exists because designer gowns are special-order items that go back into carefully controlled inventory — it is disclosed upfront so there are no surprises. To be eligible, the gown must be returned in its original condition: unworn, unaltered, with all tags attached and all included accessories (the detachable off-shoulder straps, spaghetti straps, and choker scarf) packed with it. A dress that has been altered — even a hem trim — cannot be returned, which is why it is worth trying the gown on before booking any tailoring appointments. The store-credit option is the most flexible choice if you are unsure about color or fit. Because the credit never expires, you can return the EW38031, bank the credit, and use it whenever the next gown decision comes up — whether that is a few weeks or a few seasons later. For fit uncertainty specifically: the EW38031 runs true to size in the Ellie Wilde range, and the lace-up corset back gives roughly an inch of adjustment room in either direction once the gown is on. If you are genuinely between sizes, most customers size up and take in the side seams rather than size down, because the corset back cannot let out what is not there in the fabric. If you want to talk through your size before ordering — or confirm return eligibility for your order before it ships — the Marlas team can walk you through the process. Store credit and exchange requests tend to move faster when initiated before the gown ships back, so early communication helps.

How fast does the Ellie Wilde EW38031 ship, and where does it ship from?

Ellie Wilde EW38031 ships from Marlas Fashions' warehouses in Los Angeles and New York within the United States, from our Toronto warehouse into Canada, and from those same locations for international orders. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days from the date your order is confirmed. Rush processing is available at checkout if you need the gown sooner — select the rush option and the team will prioritize your order in the fulfilment queue. US and Canadian customers pay no customs duties or import fees on their orders. International shipments are fully tracked from warehouse to door, and you will receive a tracking number by email as soon as the gown leaves the warehouse. If your event has a firm date and you are ordering with less than three weeks to go, we recommend selecting rush shipping and then contacting the team directly to confirm the timeline is workable for your specific location. Marlas Fashions has been shipping designer gowns for more than 40 years, and every dress — including the EW38031 — is inspected before it leaves the warehouse. That inspection step adds a day to fulfilment but means the gown arrives ready to wear, not requiring an immediate trip to a tailor to address a shipping defect. If you have a specific in-hands date, a destination outside North America, or any question about rush availability for this style, the fastest way to get a direct answer is to reach out to the Marlas concierge team: text or call +1 416-536-2956 or message on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131. They can confirm stock, processing time, and the best shipping tier for your deadline before you place the order. Every Ellie Wilde EW38031 that leaves our warehouse is inspected by hand before shipping, so the beadwork, seams, and closures arrive exactly as the designer intended. If you are between sizes on the Ellie Wilde EW38031, our team can talk you through the size chart against your own measurements before you order.

What makes the EW38031 different from other fitted beaded gowns at this price point?

Most fitted beaded gowns at this price use a standard lace-up back that is functional but not architectural. The EW38031 goes further: the corset lacing runs down a fully exposed open back with side cutouts at the hip, so the back of the dress is as intentional as the front. The satin-faced jersey base also sets it apart — it has the smooth sheen of a traditional satin gown but moves like a stretch fabric, which means the silhouette stays fitted without the stiffness or pulling you sometimes get from woven satin on a body-contoured cut. The detachable off-shoulder straps add genuine versatility. Most gowns with detachable straps have straps that look like an afterthought when removed. On the EW38031, the sweetheart neckline is fully finished and intentional with or without the straps, so both configurations look like design choices rather than compromises. The included choker scarf and spaghetti straps give you additional styling options that other gowns simply do not include in the box. The all-over beading and hot-stone accents also cover the dress from neckline to hem rather than being concentrated in one panel, which means the gown reads as fully embellished from every angle, not just the front.

How does the corset back closure work and how much can it be adjusted?

The EW38031 has a lace-up corset closure on a fully open back — the lacing runs vertically down the center of the back with the surrounding fabric exposed on either side. Once the gown is on, the lacing can be tightened or loosened by about an inch in each direction, which gives meaningful fit adjustment at the waist without any structural tailoring. To get into the gown, loosen the lacing fully before stepping in, then have someone tighten and tie the laces once the gown is on your body. This is the same process as any corset-back gown. The boning in the bodice holds the structure independently of how tight the lacing is, so the bodice will not collapse if the lacing is left at a relaxed tension. If you need more than an inch of adjustment in either direction, that is a tailoring job rather than a lacing fix — a local seamstress can take in or let out the side seams of a stretch jersey gown without disturbing the corset closure at all. For significant size discrepancies, alterations are always the cleaner solution than relying on the lacing alone.

Can the whole prom court or a damas group wear EW38031 in coordinating colors?

Yes — the EW38031 is available in three colors: Dusk, Emerald, and Wine. A group can order the same style in different colors for a coordinated but not matching look, or pick one color for a unified lineup. Because Marlas Fashions stocks from warehouses in both LA and New York, multi-unit orders in the same style tend to be straightforward to fulfil in the same shipment. For group orders, the practical advice is to start early: submit all sizing at the same time so every gown ships together, and build in enough lead time for alterations if any member of the group needs a hem or side-seam adjustment. Rush shipping is available if the group is ordering close to the event date. Reach out to the Marlas team with the full group size list and they can confirm availability across all three colorways before you commit. Steaming on low from the inside is the safest way to release travel creases from the Ellie Wilde EW38031 without touching the embellishment.

Does the EW38031 run true to size, and how do I measure for the right fit?

The EW38031 runs true to standard US sizing for Ellie Wilde. To find your size, take three measurements: bust at the fullest point, natural waist, and hips at the fullest point. Match all three to the Ellie Wilde size chart and order to whichever measurement is largest — the corset lacing handles minor differences between measurements. For this gown specifically, the fitted silhouette leaves very little ease, so if your hip measurement puts you in a size 6 and your bust puts you in a size 4, order the 6 and have a tailor adjust the bodice rather than forcing the hips into a 4. The boned corset bodice also means the upper half is quite structured — if you carry more volume in the bust than the standard chart assumes, sizing up and taking in the waist is the standard recommendation. sizes 00 to 16 are available. The gown is not offered in extended sizes beyond 20. If you are unsure between two sizes, the Marlas team can walk through your measurements with you before you place the order.

What occasions is the Ellie Wilde EW38031 actually suited for?

The EW38031 is best suited to high-glam formal events: prom, a gala, a formal evening event, or a black-tie-adjacent affair where a fully embellished open-back gown is appropriate and expected. The dramatic open back, side cutouts, high slit, and all-over beading place this firmly in the statement-gown category. It is not the right choice for events with dress codes that require modesty or coverage — the open back and cutouts are significant, and the overall styling is deliberately bold rather than understated. It is also not suited to outdoor daytime events where a train and fitted silhouette would be impractical. For prom specifically, it reads as a top-tier gown that will photograph well and stand out in a group. For a gala or formal evening event, the three colorways (Dusk, Emerald, Wine) all work under event lighting and photograph cleanly in both indoor and outdoor settings. Order the Ellie Wilde EW38031 early in your event season - popular colorways sell through fastest, and early orders leave time for alterations.

What undergarments work with the open back and sweetheart neckline?

The EW38031 has built-in boning in the corset bodice, which means the gown provides its own bust support — you do not need a strapless bra in most cases. The boning holds the sweetheart neckline in place without relying on external support. For the open back, traditional bras are not an option because the entire back is exposed. Stick-on silicone cups or a low-back adhesive solution work well if you want extra coverage or security beyond what the boning provides. The stretch jersey fabric also moves with the body, which reduces the need for compression shapewear underneath — the fabric itself acts as light compression along the torso. For the hip and thigh area around the high slit, seamless underwear in a tone close to your skin is the standard recommendation. Avoid anything with visible lines or bulk at the hip since the fitted silhouette will show any bunching under the stretch fabric.
