Sheath and shift dress are awesome, i call them the all-rounder duo. they are easy to rock, chic , come in variety of fabrics, styles, a staple for all age its a must have piece in every ladies wardrobe and just like the Little black dress ( LBD ) and the cocktail they are for all seasons but which is the shift dress and which is the sheath? -Sometimes it stuns me when people "fashionista alike" mismatch the names of this dresses or when some ladies give me that blank stare when i be like " hey! i love your shift dress / you look awesome in that sheath dress " more than half of the time, the "dress" at end of the sentence gives them a clue of the "tongues" 'm speaking. So if you 've being in that category, stress no more let me save you the trouble of checking the "encyclopedia" lol and of cause as a jara for this favour you 'd see ways to look like a million bucks when you go rocking this "babies". Owk lets begin

The sheath. pop culture calls it the straight gown which most people sometimes also mistake for the body con dress (most body con are made from lycra or jersey fabric) is narrower compared to the shift with the bust and knee measurement being equal . This fashion piece is the favourite of the first lady of the US Mitchell Obama, Kate Middleton the duchess of Cambridge. what do i care?...

 now get that hating spirit from around you, if you on sheath sweetheart! you 're on that presidential et royal "swag" lol now who doesn't want to be treated like royalty or given that first lady salute? The sheath dress can be pulled off by literally all body types just like its counterpart but a "no - no" for ladies with larger midsection trust me you don't want to be looking like u lacking "protein" or you 're couple months pregnant when you ain't


 The shift is a kind of dress that becomes less fitted as it moves from the bust, hip down to somewhere around the knee and that's pretty much the length ( either the middle or top of the knee preferably) and because of the silhouette of the shift it is an escape route for tall girls to look short (and that's depending on the wideness of the shift i.e the wider it becomes the more effective the illusion effect),




 for oval shaped ladies (when your bust is larger than the rest of the body) - it also produces an overall balance and also if you've got the kim kay mercy johnson kinda body (abeg leme rep my niger girls on here) and you don't wanna look like you flaunting your asset nor causing "trouble" its a perfect hide out lol


 
 Amazingly both dresses can be used for all occasion but the key is;

- know what works for you i.e your body type should be a determinant of which to go for
