Elle Gown
Elle Gown
The Elle is a sleek, body-skimming gown with an open back and a deep V neckline, equal parts elegant and a little daring. Twin thigh-high splits keep it dramatic. A stunning choice for a ball, formal or black-tie event.
Details:
- Open back
- V neckline
- Thigh-high side splits on both sides
- Slip silhouette.
Sizing:
We stock this in an XS, recommended for a 6–small 10. Full stretch (3/3) for an easy, second-skin fit.
Styling Tips:
Minimal heels and a single statement earring let the back do the talking, or if you want a little more drama add a long drop necklace to enhance the deep v neckline. If you are after a little extra security in the bust area we would recommend clutch glue which can be purchased at chemist warehouse.
Condition/RRP:
No notable flaws
RRP $215

How do I know what size to book?
Every dress lists the exact size we stock, the recommended fit range (for example "best on a large 6–8"), and a stretch rating out of 3, so you can match it to your usual size. If you're still unsure, book a try-on or message us before you book.
What if the dress doesn't fit on the day?
The best way to avoid this is a try-on first, every listing also shows the recommended fit and stretch so you can book with confidence.
