I've had luck with Talbots and Calvin Klein for sheaths. Macy's always seems to have a good selection. Good luck with your search and keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239711 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:04:54 +0000 chewyspaghetti 239711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loft has some nice dresses at the moment, too. I saw some sheaths online at NY &amp; Co. Their quality is hit and miss, but my favorite summer dress came from there and it is nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239695 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 13:53:37 +0000 Stephanie 239695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, one more thought--if you have a Macy's or a Bloomie's nearby, I also like I.N.C.'s dresses, in terms of quality and consistency. Often their pieces have a bit of stretch, which can be very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239694 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 13:52:29 +0000 MNsara 239694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep running across Calvin Klein sheath dresses at Marshall's and TJMaxx stores. It seems like each season CK puts a variety of different ones at these stores - some better than others for fit, fabric, color, etc. I think most of them are specifically made for these stores.</p> <p>It might be worth a look to check out if Calvin Klein works for you. . .</p> <p>For neckline, I like when they have the high round neckline. Easy to put almost any top layer over it with no bulk or conflict, easy to add a scarf or statement necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239693 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 13:52:17 +0000 Stephanie 239693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to second Ann Taylor--I find their sizing is pretty consistent, too, and I can often pick up their dresses at consignment shops/e-bay etc. at very reasonable prices (and I'm always confident that a size 2 will fit me well). Talbots' is nice quality but I find them to be cut a bit sackily (then again, I am not at all busty, so perhaps it's just that I don't fill them out well). </p> <p>I'm a huge believer in the sheath--I can't wait to see what stylish you comes up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239614 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 05:47:57 +0000 Marley 239614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't own any dresses - except for semi-formal/formal occassions type - so I'm starting from scratch. I know that I don't like a-lines on me, so I think I'm looking for a sheath - basic - have no idea about the neckline - what is the most versatile? I think I should start with something sleeveless because of where I live (mild weather.) Open to a print, as long as it can be worn with several different colors or styled in several different ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239613 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 05:46:34 +0000 LoP 239613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK: I'm a 32G (yes that's 4Ds and the Target dress I linked to fit perfectly. It might work if you're not bigger than me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239611 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 05:42:24 +0000 MsMary 239611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a horrible time with sheath dresses because of my ginormous bosom. I tried on three at Target that I just loved but didn't fit. Any hints about sheath dresses that accommodate the well-endowed among us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239609 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 05:38:28 +0000 Refugee 239609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the perfect LBD for layering. Unfortunately (?), it no longer fits. I ended up stumbling on a dress that I bought for a specific purpose that I have layered in many ways. It's not a solid (or expensive, or even a solid color for that matter) and I found it at JCP. And yhet, it's not 'the dress.' Are you looking for an LBD (or the equivelant in another neutral) or something more bold? Are you thinking a sheath or something in an a-line? High neck, scoop neck, v-neck? I am still looking for the perfect LBD but continue to ask myself questions about what it is I really want. I am looking everywhere to find 'the dress.' I continue to get a better picture in my head of what I am looking for but haven't found the perfect dress yet. I think continuing to narrow my search and, scouring many stores will eventually lead me to that wardrobe staple that is the perfect layering dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239597 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 05:19:15 +0000 LoP 239597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the link to one of the Target dresses: <a href="http://www.target.com/Mossimo-Black-Sheath-Dress-Detail/dp/B003M9RQ3A/ref=sc_qi_detaillink" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Mossimo-.....detaillink</a></p> <p>The other one is the same but in a grey wool-like fabric... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239594 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 05:15:28 +0000 LoP 239594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann Taylor, Talbots and JCrew is where I like the quality of sheath dresses. I got two cheaper options at Target recently and I'm **very** happy with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheath-dresses#post-239575 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 04:51:47 +0000 Marley 239575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't own any! Where is a good place to shop for them? I don't like buying things like this on-line - would prefer to do it in person. I live in a moderate climate and have been wanting to try the layering technique that so many of you do so beautifully! I would like to get just a basic dress that I can dress up or down. Any suggestions? Thank you! </p>
