Product description

Walk In And Own The Room

You want to feel beautiful the moment you step through the door.

Elara gives you that.

The stretch fabric moves with you, and the ruching through the waist and hips skims your shape instead of clinging to it.

Sheer sleeves and open shoulders keep it soft, not stiff.

You look elegant.

You feel like yourself.

Hits 56.5 to 58.5 inches long — it falls to the floor, not the ankle.

Feel confident in a shape that flatters

✓ A silhouette that flatters, not flattens
The gathered ruching runs through the waist and hips, so the fabric drapes over your shape instead of pulling across it.

✓ Move, sit and dance all night
Smooth stretch polyester gives where you need it. The mermaid hem flares below the knee, so your stride stays easy.

✓ Sheer sleeves, bare shoulders, zero fuss
Soft mesh sleeves cover your arms while the open shoulders keep the look light. No shrug, no shawl, no second-guessing.

✓ One gown, five ways to wear it
Choose from five colorways. Each one carries the same sculpted cut, so you pick the mood, not a different dress.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear a bra with it?
Yes. The bodice is cut for a standard strapless or low-back bra. Many women also wear a smooth seamless style under it without any lines showing.

Will the hem drag on the floor?
The gown is 56.5 to 58.5 inches long depending on size, so it's meant to reach the floor. Most women wear a 2 to 3 inch heel with it to keep the hem clear when walking.

Do the sheer sleeves snag easily?
The mesh is soft but closely knit. Treat it like hosiery — keep rings and bracelets clear when pulling it on, and it holds up fine through a full event.

Is there a zipper or does it pull on?
It pulls on and stays in place with the stretch fabric. There's no stiff boning, so the fit comes from the fabric itself.
