pencil dress

Narrow fitted garment

A pencil dress is a narrow, form-fitting dress that follows the body's contours from bust to hem, typically ending at or just below the knee.

The silhouette resembles a pencil skirt extended into a full dress.

Associated with professional and formal settings, it creates a sleek, tailored look: She wore a black pencil dress to the interview.
