Sheath Silhouettes in Fashion Design

Video Transcript

The next silhouette that you can use to build upon, and this on in definition a sheath. There's not going to be, I mean you could do a lot of variations of it, but a sheath is literally something that just lightly goes over the shape. It sheathes the body. So there's really not much variation as far as in my mind right now. Come up with something, who knows? But in order for it to be a sheath dress, it needs to not be tight and it needs to just graze, like it goes softly in at the waist, but it does have a waist. It's not voluminous by any means. It does have a waist and then it goes, it falls and hits softly at the hips and then it just angles slightly down but it's not tight. It's definitely not anything that you're going to make out of Spandex. This style as a sheath dress, can be built up to be so many different things, even though to be a sheath it has to retain this basic shape. Puts prints in season and do different kinds of darts like I showed you. Do weirdo sleeves, who knows? Make it whatever length. Just be creative.
