The wrap dress

People say that the wrap dress flatters everyone. 

The folding style of the wrap dress supposedly hugs a body in all the right places, skimming the hips, clinching the waist and exposing cleavage. Upon this, Diane von Furstenburg has built an empire. And year after year we are presented with one wrap dress after another and girls snap them up as soon as they hit the racks.

But the wrap dress does not flatter everyone. I am among the few the wrap dress does not flatter. I have long given up on the wrap dress, especially the ones with the geometrical prints which curiously add 10 pounds on me (whilst shedding 10 pounds off other girls)...... But I feel like I should give it another try with this silky solid one.
