Women's wrap dresses, short, midi or long

Why choose a wrap dress?

The wrap dress flatters almost all figures: the crossover creates a V-neckline that elongates the bust, and the tied belt defines the waist where you choose. It adjusts with a simple gesture, making it comfortable even when your size varies.

It transitions from one occasion to another depending on its material: jersey or cotton for everyday wear, satin, crepe, or fluid viscose for a dressy look.

What length of wrap dress to choose?

The midi wrap dress is the most versatile: it falls between the knee and the ankle, suitable for both the office and ceremonies. The short version, above the knee, is worn in summer with sandals or in winter with tights and boots.

The long wrap dress gives a flowing look for summer evenings and weddings, paired with fine heeled sandals.

Is the wrap dress suitable for curvy figures?

Yes, it’s one of the most flattering cuts for a curvy silhouette: the V-neckline elongates the bust, the defined waist shapes the figure, and the fabric that drapes over the hips doesn't cling. Choose a fluid material that falls without sticking.

For a generous chest, the adjustable neckline fits without gaping; a discreet pin or a bodysuit underneath prevents it from opening while moving.

How to wear a wrap dress?

At the office, a plain wrap dress can be worn with heels or loafers and a short jacket. For a wedding or ceremony, a long or midi version in a fluid, colourful, or patterned material pairs well with heeled sandals.

In winter, a thick jersey wrap dress can be worn with opaque tights, boots, and a long coat.

Frequently asked questions

How to tie a wrap dress?

Pass the inner tie through the opening on the side, cross the outer panel over it, then tie the two ties at the hip, in a simple knot or bow. A side knot elongates the silhouette better than a knot at the center.

How to prevent a wrap dress from opening?

A small discreet safety pin, placed inside at the crossover, prevents the neckline from opening. For the bottom, a sewn snap at thigh level prevents the skirt from splaying while walking.

What is the difference between a wrap dress and a crossover dress?

The crossover dress only crosses over the bust, featuring a one-piece skirt. The true wrap dress crosses from top to bottom and opens entirely, like a robe.

What type of bra to wear under a wrap dress?

A plunging neckline bra or moulded cup bra, in your skin tone, remains invisible under the crossover. A fine bodysuit also prevents the neckline from revealing lingerie.

Is a wrap dress suitable for pregnancy?

Yes: the tie can be adjusted as the months go by and the crossover adapts to the belly and bust. It remains practical after childbirth for discreetly nursing.
