How Much is a Wrap Up Dress?
- How do you wear a wrap dress?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024To wear a wrap dress, slip your arms through the sleeves, positioning the opening in front. You'll notice that one side is longer than the other, thanks to a panel of fabric that extends across the chest. Locate the belt or button on the end of this side. Then, slip it through the hole on the opposite side of the dress. If your dress has a belt, bring it behind your body, wrapping it around your waist. Then, tie it in the front to secure it. Button wrap dresses won't require these steps. Once you fasten or tie the dress, you'll be ready to finish it off with jewelry, shoes and accessories. Find a collection of wrap dresses on 1stDibs.
