do you think wrapdresses are THE most flattering dresses ever?

[carriedababi]

i think they are

[MrsSchadenfreude]

I think it depends on the cut. I prefer the mock wrap as the ordinary ones tend to show -my knickers-- blow open in the wind.

[motherinferior]

Depends on your shape. I am not actually mad keen on the whole overall look of a wrap but they suit my body very well.

[DonaAna]

I'm slim and B-cup and wrap dresses do nothing for me. I have a silk DVF wrap dress and beautiful bright red organic cotton one from Australia. While both are gorgeous garments, I find them slightly difficult to wear - too much cleavage flash and the risk of thigh exposure. I feel I need a slip with both of them which kind of undoes the convenience of wearing a wrap dress. TBH, normal dresses are so much easier to wear. However, they probably work well if you are a hourglass figure.

tooworried they're machine washable which is perfect! Heavy jersey too so they hang really well.

I've been really pleased with them both...

[BlameItOnTheBogey]

I love wrap dresses but surely they are terrible if you bum is in anyway wobbly? When I was pregnant, I always lusted after Isabella Oliver but when my order showed up it hugged my bum and looked terrible. Is that just me then?

[HandMini]

Love wrap dresses, and although it's a cliche, having tried heaps of different ones the DVF ones are really v good and more flattering than most. I have a hips and booby type figure...never really thought about whether they would work for the flat-chested.

[tooworried]

Madammecholet - those are beautiful dresses. Can you wash them or are they dry clean jobbies?

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

I think they fit me well but it all depends on the print, whether they look dressing gown or high fashion.

[TrillianAstra]

Not really.

[madammecholet]

I have the isabella oliver wrap dress with long sleeves in black, very good with norkage and v slimming imo. The short sleeve one has more fabric on the bust and looks mumsy.. I wear with black patent 6" heels and a leopard clutch bag, lots of gold accessories and always feel fab.

also recently got this, tighter fit but double layer jersey so very very supportive. V neck much lower than on model...

fixed wrap dress

Again, really flippin useful. I love them.

[Carrotsandcelery]

You are right Tiger. I will wait and judge once my dress arrives.

[TigerseyeMum]

I love my wrap dresses and I'm not giving them up fr anyone.

Likewise tunic dresses with leggings and tunics with skinny jeans.

If they suit me then I wear them. Fuck fashion.

[Carrotsandcelery]

Oh well, maybe an alternative use for the ebay dress I have just bought

[cornsilks]

ha ha
I have a dressing gown that I kid myself is suitable for wearing around the house/garden etc...

[Carrotsandcelery]

I do remember seeing a flatmate's girlfriend in our flat one day and wondering why she was in her dressing gown. Turns out it was a wrap dress that she was wearing for a job interview

[Mabelface]

Ebay will let you look, you just need to scroll further down the page.

[cornsilks]

I like that print- it's bargainous isn't it?

[TragicallyHip]

I hate wrap dresses.

Those trousers are fucking wrong cyb, just wrong!

[Carrotsandcelery]

It is this one here although this is not the one I bought as it won't let me see it now.

It is frumpy isn't it?

[cornsilks]

what make is it?

[Carrotsandcelery]

I have been trying to but now I have bought it ebay won't let me look at it.

I have a sinking feeling

[cornsilks]

linky!

[Carrotsandcelery]

Oh no! I have just bought a wrap dress on ebay because Mumsnet told me they were the most flattering dresses.

Will I look a complete frump?

[Mabelface]

Fuck me, they look like instruments of torture.

[cornsilks]

You'll be sorry when Kate MIddleton is wearing them in Hollywood
