Wrap dresses have been an enduring 1970s fashion since Diane Furstenberg revolutionized style with this simple idea.
As 1970s fashion, the wrap was was the perfect design for the sexual revolution -- zipless, buttonless, held in place with a string tie at the waistline.
You can take it on and off as easily as a bathrobe.
When this style of fashion dresses is well-cut and fits your figure, it offers comfort, versatility that can move from office to evening, and femininity.
A knit fabric with a bit of stretch skims over your curves, making it a perfect textile for this dress design.
Choose a fabric that is light and drapes in flowing lines.
A bias cut skirt maximizes the look of natural glamor.
Be sure to look in a three-way mirror to see how this style looks from the back.
The skirt should hug your hips, then flare gently outward to swirl around your legs.
A length slightly above or below the knee is flattering for most legs. A long skirt is appropriate for evenings and entertaining.
There is one tiny defect in wrap dresses for us gals who are less well-endowed: The front V of this chic 1970s fashion may slip into revealing positions. A pin rarely helps. All that does is torture the fabric into over-stretched lines.
The faux front does away with this embarrassment.
Whether you choose a tie-front or faux-front, this versatile style projects confidence and sensuality and are here to stay.
Another dress style that has emerged as a contemporary classic from the 1960s-1970s era is the ladylike, figure-flattering sheath dress.Red Dresses for Business and Pleasure
