Sheath Wedding Dresses: Styling Tips & Suggested Fits

As the name suggests, a Sheath silhouette is narrow in shape and hugs the body’s curves. Sometimes referred to as a column dress, this style is much simpler than the traditional ball gown. Since they use less fabric than the other dress shapes, choosing a sheath dress offers two great benefits – they tend to be lighter and less expensive.

Whether your wedding is held at a church or on the beach, this silhouette is great for any setting. As far as fabrics are concerned, most stylists recommend that brides pair the sheath style with chiffon because it gives the dress a more elegant and fluid appearance.

Who should wear it?

Like that of a knife, the sheath dress adopts the curves of the bride. This makes sheath silhouettes best for slender brides because of how well they fit the contours of the body. The shape of the silhouette is also great for brides who wish to look longer and taller. On the other hand, this silhouette is not optimal for pear-shaped brides who may want to hide some unflattering curves on their wedding night. Additionally, if you like to let loose on the dance floor, the sheath silhouette may not be the best choice because its snug fit tends to restrict movement.
