What is a sheath dress?

A sheath dress is a simple style dress designed to follow the curves of your body. It has no waist seam and can be sleeveless or with sleeves. Very flattering on most average figures when it fits perfectly. Always have the fit tweaked by your tailor if it doesn’t fit perfectly. If a sheath dress wrinkles around the hips it is too tight. Narrow hip women should look for styles that taper at the bottom. Wide hip women should choose a wider A-line bottom. This style of dress looks best in a slightly heavier fabric. Sheath dresses can be dressed up or down and can be worn to a casual event or to a wedding or cocktail party. A sheath black dress is a perfect Little Black Dress (LBD). Sheaths with boat or asymmetrical necklines can be styled with a statement necklace. A chic sheath is a power dress in or out of the board room! When you don’t know what to wear, wear a sheath style dress.
