Tips & Warnings









Realize that a wrap dress is one of the most forgiving items of clothing you will find. It will fit you whether you gain or lose weight, and can even accomodate you when you're pregnant.








Invest in a classic Diane Von Furstenberg dress. While this designer piece can cost a few hundred dollars, you will get your money's worth from years of wear.








Shop department store sales for inexpensive patterned wrap dresses in fun colors and prints.








Beware of showing more than you care to if the top of your wrap dress shifts. Consider using a pretty pin to hold it in place or wearing a tank top, camisole or T-shirt underneath for added interest and modesty.
