A sheath wedding gown, also known as a column dress, is a classic silhouette that is fitted at the waist and falls straight to the floor with a very minimal flare. The sheath cut follows your body’s natural shape, fitting similarly to a slip dress. Sheath dresses can come in a variety of different stunning styles–long sleeves, short sleeves, strapless, embellished and more!
Are sheath wedding dresses flattering?
A big misconception about body-hugging dress silhouettes, like the sheath, are not suitable for all body types. Truth is, sheath gowns have a super chic lengthening effect and are especially flattering for brides of all sizes–especially this with hourglass figures looking to show off those fabulous curves!
Where can you find your dream sheath gown?
