A close-fitting [[dress]] with a straight, narrow cut. Generally the hemline ranges from skirt length to miniskirt length, and is tailored for a close fit.

The difference between a [[pencil dress]] and a [[tube dress]] is that a [[tube dress]] is always [[strapless]]. A [[pencil dress]] can have straps or a [[halterneck]], and is applicable to all non-strapless dresses with a tight-fitting lower half.

[[Hestia (danmachi)|]]'s white dress is an example of a pencil dress, due to the skirt portion of her dress fitting tightly around/below her hips.
