Hope I am describing them correctly.

I mean straight dresses (with or without sleeves) that hug the body.

Was watching the blonde rep from IT Cosmetics the other night.  She is a cute woman with a nice body.  She was wearing a white, knit, 3/4 sleeve, dress of this kind.

I wonder if women realize that it makes their lower abdomen stick out in sometimes an unflattering way.  Some of it just may be the natural look of a woman.  Maybe it's more so on television even.  It looks like one has a pouch, unfairly!  My eye kept being drawn to it.

I think women in general should be very careful with that style of dress.  Does anyone else notice this?

Well, your post was a nice surprise.

You didn't attack me, even though I meant nothing snarky!

It sounds more like a "scuba"  dress than a sheath.

@hyacinth003, You're referring to bodycon dresses?

sheaths come in scuba fabrications.  Here's one by Vince Camuto.

3/4 sleeves to me does not describe a sheath dress.

@lolakimono OP said with or without sleeves.  You said you thought she meant a sheath.  She means a "bodycon."  So, no it's NOT a sheath.  However, there are some sheaths with long sleeves.

Please re-read my OP.

I did not call it a sheath- the OP did.

I said when the OP described the vendor's 3/4 sleeve dress, that to me is not a sheath.  The knit could have been a scuba, but I would never use the word "sheath" to describe that style of dress.  That's all.
