Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my size in Ellie Wilde EW37039, and what should I know about the fit before ordering?

Ellie Wilde EW37039 fits close to the body from the sweetheart neckline through the bust, waist, and hips, so getting the measurements right before you order is the most important step. Take three measurements: your full bust (around the fullest part of your chest), your natural waist (the narrowest point above the navel), and your fullest hip (usually about 7–9 inches below the natural waist). Write all three down and compare each one against Ellie Wilde's published size chart — do not guess based on your regular clothing size, because formal gown sizing runs differently from ready-to-wear. If your measurements fall into different sizes on the chart — for example, a size 4 bust and a size 6 hip — order the larger size. The boned bodice of EW37039 can be taken in cleanly by a tailor, but adding fabric is far more difficult and sometimes not possible at all. Sizing up gives your tailor the room to create a precise fit. The structured boning in the strapless bodice does a lot of the work for you in terms of support. Many customers wear EW37039 without a bra because the boning holds the neckline securely in place. If you need additional coverage or support, a low-back adhesive bra is the most practical option, since the open back rules out any style with a back band. For the skirt, keep in mind that EW37039 has a front high slit and a sweep train at the back. If you are shorter than about 5'7", plan on hemming the train to avoid dragging. The slit height is also something a tailor can adjust if you want it slightly higher or lower. Both alterations are straightforward for anyone experienced with formalwear. One last note on timing: order your dress first, then schedule your alterations appointment. Tailors who work with prom and formal gowns are typically booked weeks or months in advance during peak season, and you want the dress in hand before you make the appointment. Marlas Fashions ships EW37039 in 7–12 business days standard, with rush options available if your event date is close.

What events is Ellie Wilde EW37039 best suited for, and are there events where it does not work?

Ellie Wilde EW37039 is built for high-impact formal occasions where a bold, body-conscious gown is the right call. The combination of a beaded strapless bodice, mesh waist cutouts, a front high slit, a fully open back, and a sweep train makes it a natural fit for prom, formal dances, evening galas, and formal dinner events. It photographs exceptionally well under event lighting — the hot-stone rhinestone beading on the bodice catches light from every angle, and the smooth satin skirt provides a clean contrast. For prom specifically, EW37039 is one of the stronger choices in the Ellie Wilde line. The silhouette is fitted and dramatic, the train adds presence on the dance floor, and the six color options cover a wide range of style preferences — from the bold richness of Emerald to the softer Sakura Pink and the cooler tones of Dusk and Periwinkle. For formal galas and evening events, EW37039 works equally well. The structured bodice and refined satin skirt read as polished and intentional rather than just party-ready, which means the gown translates beyond the school dance circuit into adult formal events without looking out of place. There are events where EW37039 is not the right choice. The fully open back and prominent high slit mean it does not meet the modesty requirements for wedding guest wear — if you are attending a wedding, this dress would not be appropriate. Military ball events also require a covered back, which EW37039 does not have. It is also not suited for mother-of-the-bride, bridal, or quinceañera contexts where conservative styling is expected. If your event calls for a gown that makes a statement — and where a strapless, open-back, high-slit look is welcome — EW37039 is well matched. If the dress code or setting leans conservative, look at other Ellie Wilde styles with more coverage.

What colors is Ellie Wilde EW37039 available in, and how do they compare?

Ellie Wilde EW37039 comes in six colors: Dusk, Emerald, Light Yellow, Navy Blue, Periwinkle, and Sakura Pink. All six are photographed on this page, so you can see exactly how the beaded bodice and satin skirt read in each colorway before you decide. Dusk is a cool, muted tone — somewhere between slate and mauve — and reads as the most editorial of the six. It is a strong choice if you want something that stands apart from the typical prom palette. Emerald is deep and rich, and the jewel tone amplifies the rhinestone beading particularly well under event lighting. Navy Blue is the most classic option — versatile, flattering across a wide range of skin tones, and easy to accessorize. Periwinkle is softer than Navy Blue, sitting in a blue-lavender range that reads as fresh and feminine without being pastel. Sakura Pink is a warm, delicate pink — the most overtly romantic of the six. Light Yellow is the most understated choice in the lineup, with a clean brightness that works especially well in daytime or early-evening events. All six colors are stocked by Marlas Fashions. If you are unsure between two shades, our team can help you think through which will photograph best at your venue or coordinate with your accessories. Reach out before you order — it is easier to choose the right color upfront than to exchange after the fact.

What is the fabric and construction of Ellie Wilde EW37039?

The bodice of EW37039 is covered in hot-stone rhinestone beading arranged across structured fanned panels. These are not scattered rhinestones — the beading runs across the full surface of the bodice in a dense, organized pattern. Boning channels are built into the bodice lining and are visible in the detail images on this page. The boning is what gives the strapless neckline its structure and allows the gown to stay in place without straps. Mesh panels sit at the sides of the waist, between the bottom edge of the beaded bodice and the top of the satin skirt. These create a cutout effect at the waist that adds visual interest and a hint of skin without being a full open-back panel. The skirt is smooth satin — unembellished, with no beading or print — which keeps the focus on the bodice and prevents the gown from feeling over-decorated. The satin has a slight sheen that catches light without being reflective. At the front hip, the fabric is gathered and twisted into a ruched knot, which creates a focal point right at the slit opening. The sweep train at the back hem is also satin, cut to trail along the floor. The back of the gown is fully open. There is no fabric covering the spine or lower back — the bodice structure holds everything in place at the front and sides, and the back is exposed from the neckline down.

Can Ellie Wilde EW37039 be altered, and what alterations are most common?

Yes, EW37039 can be altered, and alterations are common with this style. The most frequent ones are hem and train length, slit height, and bodice fit adjustment. Hem and train length are the most standard alteration. If you are shorter than approximately 5'7", the sweep train will likely drag more than intended, and shortening it to your preferred length is a clean, relatively simple alteration for a formalwear tailor. Slit height is also adjustable — if you want it lower for comfort or slightly higher for effect, a tailor can restitch the seam at the slit opening. Bodice fit is where accurate sizing becomes important. Because the bodice is boned and beaded, taking it in at the sides is possible and produces a good result when done by an experienced tailor. Letting it out is much harder because there is limited seam allowance inside the boned panels. This is why we always recommend sizing up when you are between sizes. For the satin skirt, standard side seam adjustments are straightforward. The ruched twist knot at the hip is a more complex area to alter because the gathering affects how the slit sits, so communicate clearly with your tailor about what you want before they touch that section. Plan your alteration appointment after the dress arrives. Marlas Fashions ships EW37039 in 7–12 business days, so factor that into your timeline if your event date is firm.

How does Marlas Fashions ship Ellie Wilde EW37039, and how long does delivery take?

Marlas Fashions ships Ellie Wilde EW37039 from warehouses in Los Angeles and New York. Canadian orders ship from our Toronto location, and there are no duties charged on shipments to US or Canadian addresses. International orders ship worldwide with full tracking. Standard delivery takes 7–12 business days from the time your order is confirmed. If your event is coming up quickly, rush shipping options are available — contact us when you place your order or reach out to the team to confirm whether rush fulfillment is possible for your timeline and destination. Every dress at Marlas Fashions is physically inspected before it ships. We have been an authorized Ellie Wilde retailer for over 40 years, and every order goes out as a verified, genuine product. You will receive tracking information once your order has been dispatched so you can follow the shipment to your door. If you have a specific date you need the dress by, get in touch before ordering so we can confirm the shipping timeline for your location. It is always better to confirm upfront than to rush at the last minute, especially during peak prom season when order volumes are high.

What is Marlas Fashions' return policy for Ellie Wilde EW37039?

Marlas Fashions accepts returns on Ellie Wilde EW37039 in the form of store credit, an exchange for a different style or color, or a refund minus a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so if you are not ready to choose a replacement right away, your credit stays on your account until you need it. To be eligible for a return, the dress must be unworn, unaltered, and in original condition with all tags attached. We recommend trying EW37039 on as soon as it arrives and before any alterations are scheduled — once a dress has been hemmed or taken in, it cannot be returned. If the dress arrives and something is not right — wrong color, damage in transit, a discrepancy from what was ordered — contact us immediately. We handle those situations quickly and fairly. For exchanges, reaching out before you send the dress back is the fastest path. Our team can confirm availability of the size or color you want and help coordinate the swap so there is no unnecessary delay. If your event date is close, let us know and we will do what we can to prioritize your exchange. All return and exchange requests should be initiated through Marlas Fashions directly. The restocking fee applies to refunds only — store credit and exchanges are processed without that deduction.
