An Ode to: The DVF Wrap Dress

The DVF Wrap Dress: Who wants one? Who has one? Which one(s) do you have?

DVF: an incredible role model with a strong
message

DVF Wrap Dress circa 1975,
on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

My very own piece of fashion history! {above}

Read about the dress & the legendary designer:
CNN

bananas. said...: i don't have one no will i ever wear one but that's not because i don't love them. i do...very much so. i just have the figure of a 12 year boy with boobs. that means i don't have a waist and wrap dresses kinda sorta require a waist, don't you think?; July 15, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Kristen said...: I don't own one... but I wish I did. I love both of the green ones!; July 15, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Unknown said...: love love love love. I have a couple. they are so timeless and comfortable and beautiful. I love her. one of my favorites quotes is from her..."I didn't always know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to become." love it.; July 15, 2009 at 1:02 PM
Elizabeth Marie said...: Such a staple...I have 3 and they are my go to's when I feel like I have nothing to wear or feel yucky...they are amazing!

Great post lady...DVF is such an icon!! XOXO; July 15, 2009 at 1:08 PM
Syed said...: I am loving that 1975 green one! These all look so beautiful :); July 15, 2009 at 2:22 PM
Kim said...: Love, love, love DVF. Everytime I wear a DVF wrap (top or dress), I feel like a million bucks - and get a ton of compliments. Like another poster on here, I'm small (boyish figure), but the wraps really accentuate what little is there. Not to mention, the patterns hide a host of evils when it comes to your figure. I'm yet to see a body shape/size that doesn't look great in the wrap dress. Oh, and the thing that separates DVF from the knockoffs...the fabrics/patterns. The patterns/designs are really fantastic.; July 15, 2009 at 2:30 PM
Iva Messy said...: I really love them, but I only have one, and I don't wear it very often. But I think they are great on other people, I just don't feel its completely "me" . Those are some great photos! lovely post.; July 15, 2009 at 2:48 PM

Ela said...: So timeless! I almost bought the 2nd last photo (green & white) but it was a size to big so sadly I had to pass. Will definitely do that next time I'm in NY!

p.s. your dinner sounds delish! xx; July 15, 2009 at 10:11 PM

La Belle Lumière said...: God bless DVF and her wrap dresses! I don't own any of hers, but I'm so grateful for her creation. She really is quite a lady and has an amazing story.

P.S. I like that little green number on display at the Met.; July 22, 2009 at 5:39 PM
