Dear Girlfriends -

I’m puzzled … debating whether or not to wear a sheath dress to a professional event this weekend or my A-line dress.  Both are adorable of course!

I was considering take a page out of Michelle Obama’s style book and highlight my best features in a sleeveless sheath and draw attention to my narrow waistline with wide belts. 

Ladies, sheath dresses are a staple that should grace every woman’s closet. Elegant, feminine and practical, the sheath dress is defined by a figure-hugging silhouette with a well-defined waist, that usually is cut mid-calf or shorter.

A cafe’ sheath dress offers a ladylike silhouette balances an eclectic print, this silk sheath dress features a crew neck and slant hip pockets. Knife pleats at skirt and darting at bodice.  A banded scooped neckline that dips just a bit lower in back tops a fitted sheath dress, ruched at the sides for a more flattering fit.  The season’s hot color – the sleek sheath dress in soft white subtle “rattan” jacquard texture and wrapped waist detail.

This sleeveless tweed sheath dress features slant hip pockets and front and back silk ribbon details. Back tie at keyhole and hidden side zip. Princess seams at bodice and darting at skirt.  Or consider a high contrast, floral print sheath dress rendered in crisp cotton sateen. Contoured shoulder straps join a square neck and pieced bodice that segues to an inset waist and straight skirt. 

An elegant sheath dress in crinkled silk chiffon. Jewel neckline with ruffle detail at neck an bodice featuring tie at back neck with keyhole detail.  Or a slender satin sheath dress, styled with a deep V-neck, has flattering pleats at the bodice and an open lace-up back.

And if you’ve ever wondered just what type of shoe to wear with them, you’re not alone! Don’t worry, there are definitely lots of fabulous shoe options for you to choose from. Nonetheless, you can surely have oodles of fun shopping for the shoe that works best for you and your personal style.

Girlfriends, the figure-hugging cut of the dress and a bit of dramatic makeup is all the sex appeal you need.

Until the next adventure,

Monica
