Diane Von Furstenberg invented it in the 1970’s, and it’s still a wardrobe classic that flatters ALL women. It shows off your best assets and hides your worst. What is it? The wrap dress! Can you believe THIS dress is from the 70’s? It is still all the rage in 2010! Now THAT’s what I call a classic.

 The beauty of a wrap dress is that it emphasizes a woman’s curves–it nips in at the waist and flows over your hips. This creates the hourglass figure that we all desire. Wrap dresses come in many styles, colors and materials. You can be guaranteed that whatever style you choose, it will have staying power in your closet and will be your go to piece for years to come.

My personal fave is a polyester or jersey blend, as I HATE ironing and it’s almost impossible to wrinkle them. Plus, the jersey material is so comfortable and hugs your curves in a flattering way. I am showing the same dress in a misses’

. and also a plus size, 
to show how flattering a wrap dress can be on any body style. This dress is by Alfani and is available on macys.com. It’s a great pricepoint at $89, so affordable and can be layered with a blazer or a cropped jean jacket, whatever your mood! Versatility is always great in clothing choices, and this dress has it.

 This dress by Jones New York at macys.com is a nice formal selection. I love the color and would be an ideal choice for a cocktail party or a formal night out.

This flirty dress is by Max and Cleo, also at macys.com, is a beautiful robin’s egg color and would transition from day to night nicely.

Whatever your personal style, there is a wrap dress out there for you! Embrace your shape and enhance it with a wrap dress.
