Jersey Wrap dresses: HELP!

I am looking for a knee length, long-sleeved wrap dress but as I can't seem to find one, it occurred to me that maybe they're not really 'in' any more. hmm

Please could someone who is much better informed about clothes tell me:

a)Are they now officially outdated?

b)If they are still acceptable, where can I find one which doesn't cost the earth?

TIA! smile

Issa, DVF and DkNY are still rolling 'em out so there's some life left in the jersey wrap dress yet!

They cost a bundle though.. Have you tried www.shopstyle.co.uk? Search 'jersey wrap dress' and see what you get.

'they' being Issa et al, not jersey wraps per se

I don't think they are outdated, this one is only £27.

Beware American Apparel do cut their sizes on the small side, but they keep their shape and last forever.

Another good option for this sort of thing is Muji.

I hope that helps.

Sorry, Boden again, but their fixed wrap dresses are lovely and very flattering.
