Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to common questions about shopping Ellie Wilde prom dresses at Alexandra's Boutique, covering everything from sizing and ordering to styling tips.
What sizes do Ellie Wilde prom dresses come in at Alexandra's Boutique?
The boutique typically offers sizes ranging from juniors size 00 through size 24, though availability varies by style. Team members can help you interpret the Ellie Wilde size chart by comparing your bust, waist, and hip measurements to ensure an accurate fit.
How far in advance should I shop for my Ellie Wilde prom dress?
Plan to start your search several months before prom night, ideally during late fall or early winter. This gives you the widest selection and enough time for ordering, shipping, and alterations.
Can Ellie Wilde prom dresses be altered?
Yes, most dresses can be tailored for hem length, strap adjustments, and bodice fit. Allow at least a few weeks before prom for professional fittings, especially on gowns with boning or heavy embellishment.
Do Ellie Wilde prom dresses run true to size?
Designer prom dress sizing often differs from everyday clothing. Take your measurements and compare them to the brand's size chart. Alexandra's Boutique staff can advise whether to size up or down based on the specific silhouette you choose.
Can I order Ellie Wilde prom dresses online from Alexandra's Boutique?
Yes, select styles are available for purchase directly through the website with free ground shipping. Note that some online purchases may be final sale. You can also visit the brick-and-mortar location for an in-person fitting and styling appointment.
What accessories work best with Ellie Wilde prom dresses?
For heavily embellished gowns, keep jewelry minimal so the dress remains the focal point. Choose shoes that match or complement the dress color, and select a clutch or hair accessories that enhance rather than overpower the overall look.
How do I care for my Ellie Wilde prom dress before and after prom?
Store the gown in a breathable garment bag and avoid folding it in ways that cause heavy wrinkling. Spot-clean only when necessary according to fabric type, and use professional cleaning for dresses with intricate beading or delicate materials.
