Sheath Dress

Sheath Dress

White sheath dress from Carmen Marc Valvo

Cynthia Nellis

For utter simplicity, nothing beats a sheath dress.

Its flattering clean lines keep the dress from overwhelming your figure.

This is a great dress to have in your closet to dress up or down, depending on the event.

The sheath is slimming, but looks best on well-proportioned bodies (top or bottom-heavy figures tend to look off-balance with this look).
