sheath dress
Body-hugging cocktail attire
A sheath dress is a close-fitting dress that follows the body's contours without a defined waist seam, creating a streamlined silhouette.
The style typically falls at or just below the knee and is associated with polished, professional settings: She wore a black sheath dress to the interview.
The name comes from the way the fabric encases the body like a sheath around a blade.
