It's a Wrap! Dresses for Everyday Style


Sometimes it’s hard to stay in style and look good when fashions change so frequently. But with the popular wrap dress, women of all body shapes can look chic and sexy while at work or on the go. The wrap dress highlights your curves, offering the illusion of a small waist and an enhanced bust. We’ve sought out the best indie designed wrap dresses to show how versatile and fun the wrap design can be.

Victorian Stamp Dress by Hype $179

When trying on your next dress design, make sure the fabric isn’t too thin and clingy. You want to portray curves, but not highlight bumps, bags, and wrinkles. Also do a modesty check in front of the mirror; you should take note of whether you can look down and see all the way to your bellybutton, and you should lean forward once or twice to find out how well your wrap dress wraps.

A good wrap dress will have enough fabric to cover your legs and derriere when a gust of wind hits. If not, you may want to make good use of a safety pin or two. That said, wraps come in all different fabrics and prints, offering excellent possibilities for both a fun day at the beach and a classy cocktail hour. Support handmade and fair trade with these stunning styles.
