Sheath Dresses versus Slip Dresses

Sheath Dresses versus Slip Dresses


While sheath dresses and slip dresses are not identical, they are close cousins. Both gowns can showcase a killer shape, but each has its unique way of doing so.

Fit. A sheath dress shows off your curves by hugging every single inch of indentation and accentuation. The modern sheath style works especially well on hourglass figures as well as very stately or petite frames, according to the She Knows website. You may want to avoid the sheath if your top half is notably larger than your bottom half, if you have a fuller figure, or if you happen to have a short waist.

A slip dress shows off your curves, too, but does so with by clinging to them. The classic style works best on those who are very thin and those with smaller chests. The dress is typically not the best choice for voluptuous curves, hourglass figures or those with ample chests.

Material. Sheath dresses do well with a wide range of materials, as long as the material is supple enough to move when you do. Silk, satin and velvet are ideal choices to wow the crowd in a sheath gown.

Slip dresses are best with thinner, lightweight and somewhat clingy material that gently caresses all the right places. Silk, lightweight satin and even a soft jersey knit can work.

The overall vibe of sheath dresses give off a modern feel while slip dresses bespeak of simple elegance. Either dress can turn plenty of heads in the right direction, if you use these tips to help you decide!
