Sheath? 60\'s?

Hi there!

Is this what's considered a "sheath"?
Any clues on fabric?

TIA!
Ronnie

IMO...almost....the fitted midrift area throws it off just a bit...I always think of a "sheath dress" as a straight cut all the way down.

So just list it as a "dress"?

Sheath dresses do "nip in" a bit at the waist. I would have said it could be a sheath dress, but perhaps there are others who are out there who will comment and break the tie.

Ok, I'll throw you a curve ball! I'd go with:

1960s Marilyn Style Wiggle Dress with Gorgeous Blue Roses

Here's my thinking:

With today's body, that is going to fit tighter in the butt than on your manni, thus producing the 'wiggle' look -- and "Marilyn Wiggle Dresses" always get lots of interest!! :drool:

So how 'bout them apples!

Oh and Queenie, I think you are thinking of a chemise dress. They are the ones that are cute straight all the way down ;-)
