"Hi, I'm Jenna Dunne, from Walker's Eternity Bridal and Prom, in Provo, Utah. Today, we're discussing different shapes and styles of wedding dresses. This shape that I have in my hand is a sheath. As you can tell, it's a little bit more fitted throughout the entire dress. Girls that have a little bit more curves, or apple or pear shaped tend to steer clear of these types of dresses. Girls that are a little bit more slender also tend to steer clear of these dresses, because they do not create any illusion of curves, and they're very fitting throughout the entire body. This sheath also contains an empire waist. This dress also can have any kind of modifications to the sleeves or the neckline, and still look like a sheath."
