What Does Sheath Wedding Dress Mean?
Sexy, elegant and effortless, sheath wedding dress shapes create an understated silhouette. This style is often made from light and flowing fabrics, such as crepe, chiffon or tulle. Some styles fit like a slip dress, closely tracing your body's outline. Others drape a little straighter, like a column. Both are a good choice for petite brides or those wary of being overwhelmed by lots of fabric, as the long, straight lines have a lengthening effect.
It’s also a good shape for hourglass figures who want to show off their curves. Sheath gowns are often lightweight and understated too, so it can be an excellent choice for a less formal or beach celebration. Our collection of column wedding dresses are easy to transport to your destination wedding, the best way to travel with your wedding dress on a plane is in one of our specialist wedding dress storage boxes (available in our stores nationwide).
