Do you like wrap dresses? I definitely do. They are ultra-feminine, look great in all lengths, and are flattering on every body shape.

Wrap garments have been around for a long time – think Japanese kimonos and Chinese robes dating back several centuries. Women’s wrap dresses were first introduced to Europe and the Americas and became fashionable garments in the 1930s by designer Elsa Schiaparelli and then Claire McCardell in the 1940s.

Designer Diane von Fürstenberg brought the wrap dress to the top of its popularity in the early 1970s by designing collections of brightly printed knit wrap dresses.
