    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. :)

    He he he - thanks!
     
  6. 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!:hiya:

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