Key Features of Sheath/Column/Form Fitting Wedding Gowns
Defined by its fitted and sleek nature, the sheath silhouette is fitted through the bodice and waist before hugging the hips and falling straight down. Also referred to as a “column dress,” the shape effortlessly accentuates curves while comfortably skimming the body. This widely-adored silhouette can be found in a variety of fabrics, such as crepe and lace, in addition to several different necklines including strapless, off-the-shoulder, V-neck, and even long sleeves.
Regardless of your body type, a sheath wedding dress is ideal for any bride who is seeking a form fitting gown that accentuates curves. The fitted nature of the style naturally elongates the body creating an undeniably statuesque and elegant bridal look. Whether you prefer sleek simplicity, boho style, or vintage-inspired elements, there is an assortment of sheath wedding dresses that caters to each and every bridal style.
Anne Barge, Paloma Blanca, Rivini, and Sareh Nouri are just a few of our world renowned bridal designers who have an unforgettable collection of sheath wedding dresses.
From sweet cap sleeves and illusion necklines to strapless and even long sleeves with daringly low backs, there are a variety of unique necklines that pair exceptionally with a sheath wedding dress. Due to the minimal volume and sleek nature of a column silhouette, more intricate design elements, particularly throughout the backline, are especially striking. We adore unexpected back details such as keyholes and cascading illusion details.
From lightweight silk charmeuse and crepe to more substantial fabrics such as satin and intricate laces, there are a wide range of materials that can be found amongst sheath wedding dresses. The sleek and minimalist nature of this fitted silhouette pairs especially well with equally simple materials while delicate beading and embroidery can instantly elevate the sophisticated look.
