In fashion, a sheath dress is a type of dress designed to fit close to the body, relatively unadorned.
Unlike the shorter cocktail dress and the longer ballroom dress, a sheath dress typically falls around the knees or lower thighs.
First Lady Michelle Obama and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge are both known for their wearing of sheath dresses.
Some brands well known for their sheath dresses include Ralph Lauren, Prada, and Marc Jacobs.
Famous quotes containing the word dress:
“Our passions do not live apart in locked chambers but dress in their small wardrobe of notions, bring their provisions to a common table and mess together, feeding out of the common store according to their appetite.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
