This classic, tight fit pencil dress can be an everyday dress in a more casual knit, or a real show stopper in the floor length and a structured knit! It is drafted for a more stable knit like ponte roma, stretch velvet, stretch lace, liverpool, but you can also use a more casual double brushed polyester, thicker sweater knit, or a spandex blend french terry.
It has a center seam along the back from a close fit along your curves. Some lengths include a kick pleat for walking ease. You can put in a zipper to make it easier to get on and off or leave it off and wiggle in and out of it 😉 . The traditional set in sleeves and off the shoulder both come with short sleeve, half sleeve, 3/4 sleeve and long sleeve to make sure you can sew it up for all seasons. Lengths include a crop at natural waistline, top at full hip, just above knee, just below knee, midi/calf length and the stunning floor length that has a mermaid flare at the bottom for such a flattering silhouette.
The neckline is a classic boatneck with the option of a high back or a scoop back. The off the shoulder has it’s own glamorous neckline cutting across for a dramatic look.
Whether you’re wearing it for running errands in a more casual knit or pulled out all the stops and do a formal you will feel sexy in this tight fit dress!
