These 3 Dresses Look Great on Everyone

There is no one dress that flatters all.

[@joylindadichamounix]

Some of these dresses looked HORRIBLE on the models!

[@plusheeview1482]

Wrap dresses work on almost everybody

[@insidebabashead8591]

​@@plusheeview1482Nope. Not for short/thick-waisted women. Just emphasizes the issues.

[@nommh]

@@plusheeview1482 We in the western culture have done this for hundreds of years idealising some kind of waist and woe betide the female who is straight up and down or even apple shaped. And I dare not think of the difficulty of women with broader shoulders than hips. Everyone has their own unique figure and the best we can do is find what looks best with our own figure and riff on that. What works on ‘almost everybody’ does not cut the mustard. We should help each other doing that, finding things that make us feel really comfortable in our skin. It took me decades to do that…

[@julietierney2516]

Like this video...but FYI - the dresses you are showing under sheath dresses are mostly shift dresses. They fall more straight to the hemline. A sheath dress has darts that fit it to the figure in the front and back. Shift dresses skim the figure and fall more straight to the hem.

[@chrissymoss514]

if you wear one under a long duster or knee or hem length open top like a shirtdress, solid sheath with print open dress. when I travel I pack black stretch boot cut leggings and black tank, brown tank and matching ribbed tube skirt and extra red or gray tank. then I have 3-4 printed stretchy but tailored tops and Im good for 10days to three weeks. Im 5'8" and very apple.

[@pamelab7235]

I had several DVF wrap dresses back in the day and loved them, although sometimes the dress cuffs were a bit too exaggerated. Still, I’d love to find one now. And shirt dresses tend to look too matronly on me. One dress I like is the empire waist, that helps cover a stomach or hips that are perhaps a little more generous than one would wish.

[@LucrativeElegance]

Wrap dresses are iconic! Maybe it's time to rediscover that style, now with more modern options. And empire waist dresses are truly great for highlighting elegance without sacrificing comfort. ✨

My grandmother (I am 72) wore a wrap dress like that around the house. It was called a "house coat". In cheap printed cotton with bias bound edges, it was just a version of an apron.

[@LucrativeElegance]

What an amazing memory! The wrap dress truly has a rich and versatile history. It's fascinating to see how a piece evolved from a "housecoat" to a fashion icon.

[@sidetracked5044]

A house coat was a dressing gown when I was growing up in the uk, mostly quilted.

[@rosemarymonty5399]

Yes, they were very popular in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s where I grew up.

[@Nickysmom]

Exactly. I have pictures from when I was little and my grandmother and mother had them. DVF de NOT invent the wrap this. And I dispute it looks good on everyone. This woman knows nothing. All the unrelated visuals are also annoying. The sheath dress is more flattering for all when A line.

[@Bee-ly4gx]

I thought a housecoat was a dressing gown.

[@mollyswanner1607]

A true wrap dress has a portion that wraps around the waist and ties at the side. Most of what you showed were dresses with ties at the waist. A true wrap dress is very flattering to all

I love and wear all three of these dress shapes, and she is right - there is a variation that can work for virtually any body type. Variations include length, fullness, the presence or absence of gathers/darts/shaping, and neckline. You simply try on until you find what fits and flatters. If you don’t know where to shop locally, go online and search for “midi wrap dress with collar” or whatever you want. If you sew, there are patterns for every variation. Try different belts placed higher and lower; add a scarf if you’re self conscious about your neck; take mirror photos of each outfit so you can look at it objectively. Finding what looks good takes a bit of work, but it’s worth it.

[@zerozero9085]

I'm a very slim, petite lady, but appreciate all the different body types shown!

[@marabolin3038]

My favorite is the shirt dress! I own several. Also have a couple wrap dresses I’ve had forever and still always look great! I’m a bit too heavy in the hip area to feel comfortable in the sheath.

[@rosemarieroberts9168]

All three studied needlework and Dressmaking 45 years ago. The rules still stand, plus simplicity is the essence of beauty.

[@chrissymoss514]

For some reason, the wrap around dress never clicked with me. I was "there" during the 70s and steered clear of it - just as I do now! The thing is, I don't know why I don't like it. Maybe, it's because I really like tailored and A line dresses 🤷‍♀️

[@LucrativeElegance]

It might be that the fitted style and A-line dresses better match your personal taste. What matters most is feeling comfortable and confident in what you wear!

[@sandramoore8903]

I agree with your third sentence. The wrap dress always made my large breast look larger and my smaller breast look smaller. It also always gapped at the cross in the bust.

[@CarolLeslie-x5n]

I love a shirt dress because it suits me but is so versatile you can wear it as a dress, a duster coat and you can even tie (a very fine material one) one up wear a tee shirt n jeans so it looks like an oversized shirt.

[@annesand7157]

[@barbaragare9518]

No, sorry, A-line doesn't work for people whose shoulders are wider than the rest of their body (ie inverted triangle body shape. Sorry to disappoint. If you have swimmer-shoulders, you end up looking like a fridge even if you have an athletic body beneath. I know this from personal experience, alas.

A sheath dress is characterized by princess seams down the front. Some of your examples are not sheath dresses.

[@LucrativeElegance]

I'll pay more attention to the details in future selections. Thanks for the feedback!

[@marys6859]

I don’t think that is true. Sheath dresses just don’t have a waist but are quite slim to the body.

[@annseabolt6645]

In fashion, a sheath dress is a fitted, straight cut dress, often nipped at the waistline with no waist seam. It doesn’t necessarily have princess seams.

[@victoriaguidici5574]

⁠I agree. A sheath dress does not need to have princess seams. In fact, I’ve seen very few sheath dresses with princess seams, because a sheath dress gets its fit from darts and the side seams, while a princess line dress will not be very fitted in the side seams, but will get its fit from the princess seam.

There seem to be a lot of ideas about what sheath dresses actually are and are not. A shaeth dress is simply a dress with a straight cut and no structured waist seam. İt can have a fitted waist, or not. A shift dress is a variation of the shift dress. The shaeth follows the body 's contours while the shift is famous for being shapless. İt was also known as the potato sack dress.

Certain figures require certain dress styles. There is no dress that looks good on every woman. Some of those models looked hideous in those outfits. Saying they looked great doesn’t make it so. Many of the comments pointed out that you don’t even know the difference between a shift and a sheath dress. Wearing a shirt dress open as a jacket makes it no longer a dress. It is better for each woman to explore her own preferences and develop her own style.

When I was young & slim I could wear sheaths. I often wore shifts as well. Wrap dresses not so much. Not my thing.

I don't want to buy new just to let out seams or re-hem to my height. Such a nuisance! I was never Twiggy or Melania. I always especially liked Princess styles, very slimming (or empire waistlines when I was young.)

The button holes must be just right. Not everyone is suited for a straight dress. Venus of Willendorf figures will find it almost impossible to look good in this last style. The buttonholes stretch horizontal making the front pull apart. Vertical buttonholes gape. The reason this is presenting three STRAIGHT styles is because straight figures are easy to find dresses for. The styles can be dressy, casual depending on the fabric. All these styles assume a woman who has had a bilateral mastectomy is wearing fake filler bras or had reconstruction. More women are choosing to be flat.
