12 Sep 2024
The wrap dress is a popular, timeless fashion item because it can help you achieve an attractive figure. It is also very versatile, pairing well with both daytime and evening looks. Wrap dresses can seem confusing to put on, but have no fear! Wrap dresses can be tied with twine and pins, and the process is not as difficult as you might think.
Tying a wrap dress using attached ties
1. Put the dress on as if it were a jacket. Lift your right arm and insert it into the right sleeve of the dress. Then slip your left arm through the slit for the left sleeve of the jacket . This is like putting on a lightweight cardigan. The two front inserts will hang down the sides.
2. Wrap the left side of the dress around your body. Press it tightly against your body so that it covers most of your chest. Adjust how it sits on you by tugging the fabric slightly if you don't like it.
3. Unbutton the dress and find the opening in the seam on the right side. With your right hand, hold the right side of the dress open and look for a small opening in the seam. This is where you will thread the longer thread through. Make sure your dress has a longer thread on the left side and a shorter thread on the right side. The hole through which the thread is threaded is usually about 5.9 inches below the armpit.
4.Thread the longer string on the left side through the hole on the right side. Thread the tip of the longer string (attached to the left side of the dress) through the hole and pull it through with the other hand. This will cause the dress to be pulled up at the waist. Pull it until it is tight but still comfortable.
5.Pull the left side of the dress up to the right side of your body. With your left hand, pull the left half of the dress across your body, covering most of the right half of the dress. Tighten the neckline slightly if the dress sits too low on your chest.
6.Wrap the longer twine around the back and tie it to secure it. Thread the twine you threaded through the hole around the back until it connects with the other twine. Tie the longer string with the shorter string attached to the right half of the dress into a simple tight bow. Make sure your knot is tight enough, as this is what keeps the dress from coming undone! A double knot can be a good idea here.

Fastening the wrap dress with English pins
1. Wrap the left half of the dress across the chest. Wrap the dress tightly around the body on the right side. Make sure the dress provides the desired coverage by adjusting the neckline.
2.Pin the left half of the dress to the inside seam on the right side. Use a medium-sized English pin to pin the left side of the dress to the inside seam under the right armpit. Insert the pin vertically through both pieces of fabric from the inside. The pin will go exactly into the seam. This will prevent the dress from falling down.
3. Wrap the right half of the dress over the left half. You can now cover the left side of the dress with the right side. Pull the right half of the dress across the chest so that the seam is at the side of the stomach.

What Is A Wrap Dress?
The wrap dress, always present in all fashion collections, can certainly be called legendary. This model in 1974 gained unprecedented popularity, the trail of which stretched for many years. Today, almost every stylist can meet a recommendation to include this model of dress in your basic closet. In general, such advice is not without wisdom: a wrap dress - a model that has no age restrictions, its silhouette can easily correct body flaws, the features of the cut create a beautiful outline of the figure, resembling an hourglass - the most feminine image of all that can be thought of. The advantages of such a dress are obvious, visually it creates a beautiful line waist even when it is absent, the V-neckline not only elegantly emphasizes the outline of the chest but also visually lengthens the neck and pulls out the silhouette, which, incidentally, also allows women of low height to wear floor-length models with shoes without heels. But despite all the advantages, there are a few nuances that women of elegant age should take into account to feel comfortable wearing such a dress.
The wrap dress was created to emphasize all the curves of a woman's body as beautifully as possible. And with this task, it copes perfectly. But when choosing a dress made of thin, flowing, and elastic fabrics, women with large figures often face the problem that the dress emphasizes the extra folds on the body, which have nothing to do with the aesthetics of perception. To solve this problem good corrective underwear is made of modern “breathable” materials, which will provide the dress perfect fit on the figure. Of course, such a solution is not suitable for everyday use, but only in exceptional cases - festive events, holidays, and so on. For all other situations, you can choose a dress made of denser fabrics that will not emphasize all the shortcomings of the physique.
Wrap dresses have an unpleasant peculiarity to open up in those places where the left and right parts of the shelf cross, which causes a lot of discomfort. If earlier women solved this problem by sewing on the back of the buttons, if the thickness of the fabric allowed, or piercing the place of convergence of a nice brooch, today you can use special double-sided tapes. It is enough to connect both parts of the dress with a small piece of tape to stop worrying that the wrap dress will open at the most inopportune moment. Speaking of which, even though for such purposes have developed special tapes that can be glued to both clothing and skin, many women prefer to do with the most common double-sided tape. Another easy way to stop worrying about a revealing neckline is to wear a simple T-shirt of a suitable color under the dress, the fabric of which will be organically combined with the material of the dress.
We are already used to the fact that the wrap dress is invariably on all the lists of must-haves in the closet of a modern woman, but for some reason, few people say that such a model does not look favorably on a figure with small breasts. Some dresses, depending on the material used and the depth of the neckline, can achieve the opposite result: instead of emphasizing feminine curves, it can visually make the figure flatter and inexpressive. Of course, this does not mean that women with small breasts should refuse such a model, but it is not superfluous to take care of underwear with a push-up effect.
Multilayering is a fashionable technique of recent years, and it will be appropriate in an ensemble with a flouncing dress. Everything works here: a long cardigan over a wrap dress creates a cozy and soft image; a jacket with clear shapes or structured fabric adds rigor and elegance. Experimenting with different items of clothing that create another layer, you can “assemble” completely diverse images, from business to urban, based on one single dress.
Coloring and pattern are important details that make the dress “work” in the right direction. So, for example, a solid-colored dress of neutral color visually makes the figure higher and slimmer - it will be much more difficult to achieve the same result in a dress with a pattern. But in this case, as usual, the classical rules work: vertical pattern pulls the figure, horizontal ornament can make it more squat, and the size of the pattern should not distort the proportions of the figure or emphasize its shortcomings, for example, a dress with a very large pattern on a full figure can make it bulky.
The length of the dress, its coloring, and pattern accordingly affect the choice of appropriate shoes. But here women, as a rule, rarely make mistakes and intuitively choose the shoes that best match their dress. Universal recommendations in this selection can not be, because that long, that short dress can look equally beautiful with shoes on a heel or on a flat sole: the decisive value will be the pattern of the dress, fabric, the environment for which it is worn used accessories. Therefore, feel free to experiment with ballet flats, with heeled shoes or wedges, with sneakers, sandals, or classic loafers - there is no single solution. The same picture emerges with accessories: a wrap dress works as an excellent “background” for all types of jewelry - classic, ethnic, sports style, etc. Jewelry can easily be replaced by a neckerchief - a V-neck allows you to wear them with a special chic. The only rule that in this case, it is worth adhering to is not to overload the image with details. For example, if you draw attention to the neckline area with a necklace or a bright neckerchief, then the earrings should be chosen in a calm, laconic version.
