The Wrap Dress...Am American Classic



The most timeless dress style in a woman's wardrobe has to be the wrap. Waist-whittling, bust-enhancing and hip-reducing, women the world over are still wearing it.

Ever since Diane von Furstenberg (DvF) introduced the wrap dress as a high fashion item in 1972, it was quickly adopted by such celebrities as Princess Diana and Jerry Hall.

The demure wrap then fell out of favor during the '80s power-dressing trend. It was to re-emerge in 1997 with DvF's more modern signature dresses, whose style appealed to a new, younger generation, including the likes of Kate Middleton (Princess in waiting?), Paris Hilton, Mischa Barton and Jemima Khan.

Much of the longevity of the wrap dress is due to its flexibility and versatility.

The wrap dress is perfect for almost every figure. It can be a perfect solution for the curvy woman. It has the ability to lift the bust and creates a more hour glass figure. It can also be particularly kind to the big-busted woman.

Wrap dresses can also be great maternity-ware. It can easily hide a baby bump while you are comfortable, yet stylish. Not to mention, it is unapplogetically sexy.

Given its flexibility, the wrap dress is one of the most versatile outfits for work and play! In the office it can be worn with sophisticated pumps and a classy bag ,or teemed with leggings for a fun-everyday look. The wrap is great for traveling. This no-nonsense dress requires minimal care and ironing.

Invest in your wrap today and be set for a lifetime!
