The defining feature that differentiates wrap dresses from other silhouette styles is the design, which involves wrapping one side of the dress across the front and tying it at the waist. This creates an elegant V-neckline and allows you to adjust the fit to flatter your figure. Depending on your style, the cross-over front of a wrap dress can be modest or more daring, making it a versatile wardrobe staple.

While we recommend reserving cotton or linen wrap dresses for daytime wear, monochrome silhouettes made from silk, satin or lace may be appropriate for more formal events — however, the dress code should be your ultimate guide.

If you’re dressing for an evening event, look for a maxi-length wrap dress in a rich, elegant fabric and always opt for solid colours over muted prints or vibrant patterns.

Wrap dresses are known for delivering a universally flattering fit. Here’s how wrap dresses tend to complement different body shapes: 

• Hourglass — Perfect for those with an hourglass figure, the wrap design cinches at the waist, accentuating the narrowest part of the body, while the V-neckline highlights the bust and the flowing skirt balances your curves. 

• Pear shaped — Wrap dresses can help create the illusion of a more balanced figure as the fitted top and cinched waist draw attention to the upper body while the skirt gently skims over the hips and thighs. 

• Apple shaped — Creating a defined waist while the V-neckline draws the eye upwards and the flowing skirt drapes over the midsection, wrap dresses perfectly complement apple-shaped bodies. 

• Petite — For petite women, opt for a mini wrap dress with a shorter hemline to elongate your legs. 

• Athletic — Wrap dresses can add curves and definition to rectangular or athletic body types, while the cinched waist creates the appearance of an hourglass figure.
