A wrap detail or strategic tie does one thing very well: it creates a defined waist in a dress that might otherwise be shapeless. These midi and maxi dresses use wrap construction or tie-side details to cinch and structure the silhouette. The fit becomes adjustable which solves problems before they start. Most of these are in solid colors or minimal prints because the detail is doing the work. The fabric tends toward crepe or jersey that moves with you. You can wear these to dinners and events and actually sit down without the dress bunching or gaping. These are the wrap dresses that prove one design detail in the right place makes all the difference.
