The DVF wrap dress came into being in 1973 and has been a staple since. Examples are held at The Met and thier note on it state: "Diane von Furstenberg introduced her signature wrap dress in 1973. The simple style was affordable and adaptable, combining the versatility of sportswear with the chic of a flattering dress. Easy to wear, the design became a fashion phenomenon and a large selection of graphic prints kept the style fresh and in demand. Von Furstenberg wrote: “I was sure there was a need for simple little sexy dresses that made women feel like women.”
This recent Diane Von Furstenberg dress is wonderful. It is made form a muted, dark red wool. The skinny fit top wraps to close in her signature style with a plunging neck that has a collar so feel a little safer then some of her cuts and this is balanced by long, skinny sleeves. The skirt is cut sleek and short. Wearing a Diane Von Furstenberg design is appropriate for almost any event or occasion that may arise. Which is probably exactly why they are one of the must haves in any girl's closet. Excellent over all condition with a small note below
Unlined with two long attached ties that wrap to close. The wool jersey fabric has some stretch so is incredibly comfortable to wear. Pockets at the hip. I see two tiny pinholes on the edge of the front collar. They look stable and held up to cleaning without getting worse. The fabric has some stretch and it wraps so you can easily add 1-2" to any of the listed measurements up or down. Will comfortable fit a modern 6-8
