Who does nice wrap dresses?

Was recommended wrap dresses and have found a flattering black one at Boden a year ago and now would like to buy another in a different colour. However I don't like their colours/patterns since.

Any suggestions for other sources?

It has to be online ordering as well as I am overseas. TIA

Many people will recommend Isabella Oliver, but I am not one of them. I have one, bought in the sale, in a lovely colour, and the quality is great. But it's got a really annoying stand up collar which might be ok if you are really tall with a neck as long as a giraffe, but on my makes the whole v-neck less flattering and comes up to my hairline.

For good colours, you might try Kettlewell. (Cheaper than IO too.)

I was just going to recommend Isabella Oliver! (or Baukjen as the non maternity range is now called).

Nicely cut and very flattering draping at the waist. I like the stand up collar - works for me! Smile

I got mine half price in the sale, which was a bit of a bonus.

Vivien of Holloway, although I don't have any, I look at the website a lot.

I don't like the wrap dresses of Vivien of Holloway, BikeRunSki, but the Runaround Sue day dress is gorgeous!

Unfortunately, I have very wide hips and I don't think it would suit me. Plus my husband would not walk around with me wearing it! Wink

Ooh, I like that one from the Pretty Dress Company, Charlie.

Fabulous isn't it. The model is a beauty, which of course helps but nonetheless, the dress is still pretty garjus.
