The crossover dress that suits everyone.
The flattering dress
The wrap dress fastens by crossing its two panels at the front, tied at the waist with a belt or fastened with a button. Its V-neckline elongates the bust and its defined waist shapes the silhouette, making it one of the most flattering cuts, suitable for all body types. Popularised in the 1970s, it has become a timeless classic, worn both at the office and for evenings or weekends.

The styles
The dresses La Petite Étoile, a Parisian brand, play with prints and materials, all the way to the glittery Persia for evenings. The b.young, a Danish brand, and Ichi offer fluid models that are easy to wear every day. The dresses Grace & Mila, from the Parisian brand, add a bohemian touch. The Armedangels, in linen or responsible viscose, and the Moss Copenhagen, with Scandinavian prints, focus on lightness. The Bizance and Guess complete the collection.
A custom fit
The great advantage of the wrap dress is its adjustability: by tightening or loosening the knot, you can fit it to your shape. Long and flowing, it can be worn with sandals in summer; knee-length, with boots and tights in winter. A denim jacket or blazer adds structure for the office. For a more discreet neckline, a pin or a top underneath will do the trick. Wash it according to its label, inside out, and dry it on a hanger.

Frequently asked questions
How to tie a wrap dress so that it stays in place?
Pass the inner tie through the side slit, cross the outer panel over the top, then tie the two ties at the side of the waist. Tighten just enough to define the waist without pulling the fabric too much.
How to prevent the neckline of a cross-over dress from gaping?
Choose a dress with a crossover that rises high enough, or secure the two panels with a small safety pin or a snap button. Models fastened with an inner button stay in place all day.
Does the wrap dress suit larger sizes?
Yes, it is one of the most indicated cuts: the V-neckline elongates the bust and the belt adjusts precisely to the waist. A fluid material drapes well flatters more than a rigid fabric.
What length of wrap dress to choose according to the occasion?
The short version is worn during the day with trainers or sandals, the knee-length one works for anything from the office to dinner. The long version, like the glittery Persia from La Petite Étoile, is suitable for evenings.
What material to prefer for a cross-over dress in summer?
The linen of the Armedangels models Jeltaa and Femnaami breathes and stays cool in intense heat. Viscose, which is more fluid, creases less when travelling and moves nicely with the crossed panels.
