Do not buy into the myth that wrap dresses are flattering

[moondog]

They aren't. They pull unattractively across the rump, highlighting knicker elastic and bring out ones lumps and bumps a treat.

As a bloke would say: "It's not the dress that makes you look fat."

I think DVF & Issa are queens of the wrap dress.

DVF has outlet stores in the US that ship to UK - I've bought many that way. And you can pick up them on ebay for a good price - if you know your size, all the wraps come up the same.

If you're busty like me you need to wear a cami underneath DVF because they're narrow across the chest.

LK Bennett does good ones too.

Oh, I am busty. Bollocks to camisoles, though.

I might trek across town to try one on...

Oh, great idea about US outlet stores, Twinklestein... Any particular one?

Twinklestein, you are brilliant. Thanks

Sorry moondog. Probably not the outcome you wanted

Don't suppose anyone knows what this pattern is called?

I love mine.. it actually makes me look like I have big boobs.. not the norm for me. Love love LOVE wrap dresses

@tethersend - is it called 'Bricks'? Otherwise I've no idea.

Also checkout the dvf.com website, they always previous seasons stuff on sale.

I only like fake wrap dresses.

I have just ordered this very reasonably priced wrap dress from ASOS

Oh they always make my tits look skew-whiff.

I love wrap dresses but only good quality jersey and with patterns so any VPL is not as visible. I look so much slimmer in them than I do I trousers.

I love them...will keep an eye out for DVF ones. I'm sold! M&S and Phase 8 are my usual sources.
