Wrap dresses you tie at the waist yourself

Brown velvet at a restaurant, red satin on a date

Take a dinner out, with low amber lamps over every table. In that light our brown velvet glows warmer than black ever could. Our chocolate mini is cut from stretch velvet, so it hugs you without holding back your stride, and soft folds collect at the waist, which is kind to a tummy. Yellow gold at your ears, and suede boots in a cappuccino shade. You don’t need a necklace, the neckline already does the work.

The navy velvet mini is calmer than red or gold, good for the theater or a graduation party. Silver jewelry and a short dark coat that doesn’t hide the hem.

Satin is summer. A red satin mini wrap with short sleeves takes strappy sandals and a little chain bag for a birthday, then white sneakers and a shopper the next morning. More shine like that lives on our smooth satin page, and darker evening fabrics are among our velvet picks.

Rib knit and angora for a cold Tuesday

The blue rib knit wrap mini is in Mustang rib, warm and sturdy, with a flared skirt and long sleeves that widen at the cuff. Skin-tone tights and loafers for work. Suede ankle boots after. Same style in red, too, if blue feels too safe for you. Store it folded, not on a hanger.

Angora-blend knit in milky white has a tie belt and a short flared skirt. It’s soft. Wear beige boots and a light coat in winter, and a light cardigan in the office.

Muslin wraps for a beach town in August

Cotton muslin is the hot-weather wrap dress fabric. The pink mini is two layers of muslin, which keeps it from being see-through. Little slits with ties open the short sleeves. The midi version has a flounce at the hem and comes in light blue and pink. That length works on a walk and in an office with a summer dress code. They’re out of the catalog in winter and come back with the summer collection. Want other lengths? There’s a below-the-knee page too.

Frequently asked questions

Which size do I need in a wrap dress?

Mostly your bust size, since the tie sorts out the waist. We make them XS to XL.

Can I make the V-neck less deep?

A little. Set the overlap higher before you tie it, and the V gets shallower.

How do I wash the angora wrap?

Cool water and a mild soap, by hand or on a delicate cycle. No twisting. A towel on the table makes a good drying spot.

Does muslin wrinkle in a suitcase?

Lightly. It weighs almost nothing in your bag, and a steamer takes the creases out in a minute.
