Strapless Dresses
Sherri Hill strapless dresses leave the shoulders bare and put the focus on the bodice. More than half are built on a corset bodice, and they come in every shape: fitted gowns, ball gowns, A-line and mermaid styles, and short cocktail dresses. Many have a slit, ruffles, hot fix stones, beading or a floral print. Sizes run 000 to 14, 000 to 18 or 000 to 26, depending on the style.
About Strapless Dresses
A strapless neckline leaves the shoulders and collarbone bare and puts the focus on the bodice. It is the largest neckline in the Sherri Hill range, and this collection brings every strapless prom and homecoming style together.

The shapes
Fitted silhouettes lead by a wide margin, followed by ball gowns, A-line styles and mermaid gowns, with a group of bubble-skirt dresses. Full-length gowns make up the larger share, alongside a strong selection of cocktail dresses.
Fabric and finish
Chiffon, lace and satin lead, followed by stretch fabrics and brocade. Prints and florals run through many of the styles. Corset bodices shape more than half of the collection, many skirts have a slit, and ruffles, hot fix stones, beading, bows and pearls add the detail.
Colour
Black leads, followed by pink, ivory, light blue and red, then navy and yellow.
Strapless Dresses Questions
How do I keep a strapless dress from falling down?
Fit is everything. The bodice should be snug at the top edge and around your ribs, so choose a style with a corset or boned bodice and have it fitted. A seamstress can add silicone grip tape or take in the top edge if it gaps.
What bra do you wear with a strapless dress?
Many strapless gowns with corset bodices don't need one. Otherwise, a well-fitted strapless bra or longline bra, or adhesive cups, work well. Ask your seamstress about sewing cups into the bodice.
What size strapless dress should I get?
Fit the bust first, since the bodice holds the dress up. Use the bust measurement on the Sherri Hill size chart, and see the Fit Finder for the size to try in each silhouette.
