Wrap dresses

Wrap dresses are great choice for winter season. I have two wrap dresses within various colors and style. I bought that dresses from Amazon. Yo can also go there.
Thanks!!

I see the leopardskin print's in the half price sale, so it's probably out.

Oh, I like them! Though I can see where you're coming from - my mam would have called them wrap round pinnies. I have a nice wrap dress from M & S and it's very flattering. I bought it in the sale at least 10 years ago. A snakeskin print - it's been in and out of fashion so many times (and I've no idea which it is at the moment).

Sooo pretty.

And I so shouldn't be linking to it.

Actually, I love this one

Wouldn't look right with my fitflops though.

Thanks for the link Milasnanna...... £267 for what me old mum would call a washing frock. Going for a lie down now...sorry!

although it might not have been an advert....

Thank you for the tips, peeps. I shall do some more browsing

I always avoid dresses with side zips as my frozen shoulder stops me being able to unzip them (Can zip them up and then I'm trapped!)

I always like the idea of wrap dresses, but they seem to look very middle aged when I try them on. At my age I should be glad to only look middle aged - but I'm not

Wrap dresses are very flattering, if you find the right one, it's a few years since I bought one though ( East) although my local East has closed down now.
Just as an aside, I bought a lovely all cotton dress from Debenhams last week, struggled a bit getting it on ( over my head) and then took it off, thinking why oh why do they not put a zip in the side, then looked at it closely, and saw that there was a zip! should have gone to Spec Savers.

I'm a big fan of the wrap dress but not the G von F ones- too expensive. I like to make sure they are 'stitched in ' ones as I cant bear all the unwrapping in public (well once upon a time but no longer - moving on!)So I have several wrap dresses from Boden (lovely look for discounts) lots of colours and sleeves in three lengths- these wash and wear no ironing (bought 2 summer ones this week £35 each with discount). They have a gently flared skirt. I have Monsoon ones- similar to above but not so many to choose from and I used to get East ones but they seem to have disappeared. JL sometimes have their own and Jigsaw but pricier as do Hobbs- OK if for an occasion.

Here's nice wraparound blouse:

When I was young I had one like that in black taffeta.

You could make one, thatbags You could alter the front of a pattern from one piece to two. Not difficult, with your mathematical and sewing abilities it would be a cinch.

Asos is good if you know what you want, but can't find it on the high street. Generally quite reasonable too.
