If you've shied away from body-skimming dress looks before, give sheaths a chance. Just look for forgiving fabrics like a knit called ponte (substantial enough to not feel flimsy, but definitely has "give.") Also, pick a sheath with the perfect details for your unique shape: princess seams define and whittle the waist, a square neckline minimizes a large bust, sleeves balance out wider hips.
