One of spring’s hottest dress trends is the wrap dress. Year after year, this dress remains a popular piece amongst women. The wrap dress was first introduced by the iconic designer Diane von Furstenberg in 1974. This timeless piece is extremely versatile.  It is usually made in lightweight fabrics making it ideal for warmer seasons. One of the most noted features of this silhouette is that it fits and looks good on all body types. It is comfortable, fun yet elegant and frames the waistline, allowing us as women to show off our beautiful physique.
Since 1974, the dress has evolved. We still see the classic silhouette, however the new updated version of the dress has become a hit with fashionistas everywhere. I am also obsessed with the new silhouette as it is just as flattering and sexy as the original. Unlike the original wrap dress, the updated version doesn’t necessarily open up and completely wrap around the body, instead it wraps in front with a wider belt. Brands and designers like Tibi, & Other Stories, J.Crew etc have all introduced the new wrap to their assortment. I love the classy yet flirty feel of the wrap dress.
