Diane Von Furstenberg debuted the wrap dress in 1974, and it is still popular today because it is figure-flattering.
Show off your figure
We tend to hide our flab under shapeless blouses and roomy dresses as we get older. Wrap dresses work even if you have a big tummy, as I do. They are flowy, feminine, and classy.
If you are worried about your saggy arm flaps, choose a dress with sleeves, and for crinkly knees, a knee or midi length. You may not have the perfect hourglass figure, but a wrap dress will give you waist definition. Some styles will hide all sorts of trouble spots. Many are V-neck dresses, which are sexy and show off your cleavage.
Some wrap dresses have deep V-necks that may be a little too risqué, especially if you have a wrinkly neckline. If it is too low, but you love the dress, you can always add a snap or brooch for a more modest look.
Sometimes dresses with asymmetrical ruffles on the skirt will help distract from your belly area.
