It's easy to see why this dress style, originated by fashion icon Diane Von Furstenberg, was so popular in the '70s. They are comfy, sexy, and easy to slip into (and out of). If your mom used to wear ‘em, she might still be keeping a few in mothballs-it's worth asking her, because the dresses are back in a big way.
But if she tossed ‘em all out to Goodwill in the 80s, don't sweat it. They're easy to find now, and they're not too expensive. Today's average wrap dress starts at around $22, and go up to about $110.
The silk ones feel almost sinful when you slip them on over your head. One size fits all. Tie the front. Tie the back. Your body thinks you're wearing lingerie.
Wear it on a date only if you really like the guy--but don't worry-you're not breaking any Good Girl rules. The dresses are so classic looking that even your Daddy will approve-well, almost.
The way you tie the dress says everything. You get four sashes-two in front and two in back. Just play around with it until you find the look that best suits you! There is a wrap dress for every body type, and every social situation. You'll easily make the look your own.
Wear it on the beach all day with flip-flops in a cotton or rayon print. It feels like your favorite bathrobe, but your bathrobe never made your body look this good!
When the sun goes down, leave the dress on and slip into some heels-your outfit is instantly transformed from a casual little number into a classy showstopper.
The dudes in the club will never know you were loafin' all day, you slick thing-just don't forget to wash the sand out from between your toes.
