Inside Sherri Hill
What Makes Sherri Hill Dresses Special? Fit, Beading and Quality
Sherri Hill dresses are known for three things: a great fit, hand-beaded detail and higher-quality materials. Many gowns are hand beaded, many are built on structured corset bodices, and the collections use fabrics such as stretch satin, mikado, taffeta, brocade and 3D floral lace. Every collection is designed by Sherri Hill herself, presented at New York Fashion Week each season, and sold through authorized retailers, where you can try the dress on and have it fitted.

A Fit Sherri Hill Is Known For
Fit is the first thing people notice about a Sherri Hill gown. Corset bodices run through the collection, shaping the waist and supporting the bust so the dress sits where it should and stays there through a long night of dancing or walking a stage.
- Structured bodices: internal corset structure shapes and supports the body, so you may not need a bra, even in strapless and halter styles.
- A wide size range: styles start at size 000, and some run to size 26.
- Fitting in person: Sherri Hill dresses are sold through authorized retailers, where you can try on several sizes and arrange alterations.
Find your size before you shop with the Sherri Hill Size Guide, or enter your measurements in the Sherri Hill Fit Finder to see your body shape and the silhouettes to try.

Hand Beading and Detail
Many Sherri Hill gowns are hand beaded. Beads, pearls and crystals placed by hand follow the lines of the design, from a beaded neckline to a skirt covered in pearls. The collections also use hot fix stones, sequins and three-dimensional flowers for sparkle and texture.
“Sherri Hill gowns feature intricate hand-beading, custom embroidery, and internal corset structuring built for flawless fit. Extensive craftsmanship, premium fabrics, and precise tailoring ensure each garment looks stunning from every angle.”
— Liza Greenberg, Pageant Stylist and Sales Associate, Sherri Hill

Sherri Hill uses higher-quality fabrics chosen for how they look, move and hold their shape:
- Stretch satin for a smooth sheen and a close, comfortable fit.
- Mikado and taffeta for sculpted skirts, bows and bubble hems.
- Brocade and 3D floral lace for texture and pattern.
- Chiffon for light, flowing skirts and ruffles.
- Hot fix stones, sequins, pearls and beads for sparkle.
