The Sheath Silhouette

by onewhitedress on 29/06/09 at 7:19 pm

A Sheath is a simple and elegant silhouette that follows the natural body curves from the shoulder to the hem. A narrow and fitting style that hugs and accentuates a woman’s body by default, making a Sheath wedding gown the sexiest of all the silhouettes. A Sheath gown is commonly crafted from fabrics cut on the bias which drape and caress the body such as Silk Charmeuse, Crepe Georgette and Chiffon. If you have a petite small-framed figure or a tall, athletic, slim body then a Sheath wedding dress could be perfect for you.  However, steer clear if your self-conscious of those love handles or are trying to camouflage your curvy thighs… A sexy Sheath leaves little to the imagination. ♥
