This is not what I would call a sheath. Fun frock though. I love the pockets.

Fair enough more fitted than my usual? It's so fussy...

I see what you mean. Above the knee + less flare or ease than you're used to can mean sitting with your knees pinched together all day. *sigh* It's a pretty dress though!

Beautiful! Not your normal fit and flare, but still so you!

If a sheath and a fit-n-flare had a baby....

I have the same problem but I still wear them. But I can see how they could be an annoyance for you in your line of work Still, you look great.

I like this shape of dress on you, and Pockets!!! It's always interesting to me how our body dynamics and attitude change to adapt to what we are wearing...

I wouldn't call this a sheath. Pretty dress though!

We were required to wear skirts or dresses in high school. Full skirts were a PITA when walking outdoors and minis were just wrong for anything except standing, arms at sides, on level ground. In college I fell in love with pants. Freedom!

Not a sheath but I can see the sitting problem. It looks great though!

I was gonna say... I wouldn't call that a sheath most of MY frocks are sheaths

Nonetheless - you look so pretty in this and I love the cut and print. The neckline, in particular, is a nice feature!

You look great in the dress, even if it is not a sheath.
