Dresses - Silhouette Different Types of Dresses

2. A sheath dress is a type of dress designed to fit close to the body, relatively
unadorned.
Unlike many cocktail dresses and the longer ballroom dress, a sheath dress
typically falls around the knees or lower thighs.

3. Drop-waist dresses typically fit loosely from shoulder to hip, transitioning
into a pleated or gathered skirt at the hip, rather than the natural
waistline.

4. A shift dress is a short dress that lacks detailed shaping. Usually
sleeveless, these dresses can be plain or feature A-line skirts or empire
waists.

5. A bodycon dress is a one-piece figure hugging garment that clings tightly to the
body from the bust to the lower hem. It typically has three lengths: upper thigh,
mid thigh or knee.

6. A LINE DRESS
A dress silhouette that is narrower at the top, flaring gently wider
toward the bottom thereby resembling the letter A.

8. A dress having a drawstring, belt, or similar closing, at or below the waist, which
gives it a blouse shape.

9. FIT & FLARE DRESS
A dress which is fit at the waist and has a huge flare just after the belt.

10. A dress which is narrower at the top but flares below the waistline.
