Of all the P&B Essentials we’ve outlined so far, the sheath dress could claim the crown as queen.
A classic, flattering piece that should be in every woman’s closet, this is one of our most-loved looks.
The sheath dress is one of those rare items that looks good on nearly every type of woman.
The basic pattern has evolved to feature wider shoulders, straps and sleeves, plunging necklines and longer hemlines to flatter all shapes and sizes.While we believe all of the P&B Essential items we feature to be wardrobe staples, the sheath dress rises above. It’s a perfect transition piece between occasions like work, interviews, a wedding or even out to dinner with the girls. It can easily be worn from day to night with a change of accessories. It oozes sexy but leaves enough to the imagination.
The sheath dress provides women with a flattering silhouette even if they have not been blessed with supermodel long legs. It hugs a woman in the right places and is forgiving in all of the not so great places.
It’s a dress that will never go out of style, and that’s exactly why you should invest in one. The classic, bodycon fit and knee-length hem make it appropriate for women of all ages. It is the perfect transition piece for young women looking to dress with sophistication without forgoing style.
Well known brands to feature amazing sheath dresses include Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Prada. Of course, most of us can only dream of wearing Prada. For those more financially focused, we still encourage you to invest in a high quality dress. Over the long run, you’ll save money.
Recently loved by celebrities, the Australian luxury brand Misha Collection features feminine silhouettes and several pieces with sheath dress length hems. Another of our favorites from Australia is Meshki Boutique which also features feminine silhouettes with a hint of sex appeal. Meow!
