What are wrap dresses?
A wrap dress style is a universal wardrobe classic and one that every woman should embrace. By definition, wrap dresses are dresses that have a front closure formed by wrapping one side across the other and tying the fabric at the waist or back.
The first wrap dresses were designed by Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1930s and by Claire McCardell in the 1940s. Later on, the design was reinvented by Diana von Furstenberg and the chic silhouette is one that is still heavily worn today. It’s now widely available in animal print styles, knit wrap dresses for cold weather days and lightweight summer wrap dresses for an easy carefree style.
A universally flattering silhouette that looks great on every figure, they highlight waists, skim curves and add a perfect level of polish and femininity to any outfit.
