Us full-figure ladies have curves, we have hips, breasts and backsides that some of us tend to cover up instead of appreciate. Our figure screams “FAB” but sometimes what we wear doesn’t tell the same story.
In comes the wrap dress…..
A vital CLOSET ESSENTIAL, The Wrap Dress is the perfect dress for a woman with curves! What began as a sportswear trend- Diane Von Furstenberg made famous in the 1970′s, it’s so iconic that it even has a place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MOMA).
…odds & ends
You can find a wrap dress in a variety of fabrics; polyester, silk, jersey, cotton, linen, etc. Stick to material that flows and doesn’t cling to you (unless of course, that’s the desired effect). Even a faux wrap dress works because of the line it creates across the body, still giving the same curvy silhouette. I know plenty of you don’t favor the wrap dress because of the way it wraps across the front or drapes around the stomach area- play with different fits and I’m sure you’ll fine one that suits you perfectly. This style is universally flattering and if worked the right way it’s downright sexy, you can’t go wrong!
Why I love the wrap dress!
It’s adjustable- one of the only style of dress where I can look amazing and not worry about how much I ate at dinner or a BBQ, and if I want to have ice cream later this dress will not throw me under the bus. The wrap dress is my very own “ride or die” dress. Plus, waist definition and v-necklines are definitely my friends- so when I can get both effects in one take, I’m golden.
I swear this style was made with the fuller figure in mind- Is the wrapdress an essential or a “wrap” for you?

I am a huuuuuuggggeeeee fan of the wrap dress too!

There’s this black wrap dress that I no longer wear but I still have it. I should probably toss it, but it’s so functional.
Every curvy diva should own one! I have a little black wrap dress I just love …now if only I could get it in red …cut the same way!
lol technically i have 2…one knee length and one floor length both in black lol
I know I’m a little late with this but to me, the only thing sexier than a woman in a wrap dress is a CURVY, SEXY PLUS SIZE woman in a wrap dress!!!
