That's a Wrap
DRAPE, WRAP AND GO
There isn’t much in the wardrobe that can surpass a wrap dress. They are flexible in fit as they mold to your body whilst enhancing and concealing at the same time. They
love curves, and go with just about any accessory you pair with it. Born the 1930’s and reinvented in 70’s, wrap dresses have been and tried and tested by many women. It’s no wonder the wrap dress is still a timeless beauty today.
Wrap styles for work and play
There’s a reason the wrap dress has remained a popular style today, it flatters any silhouette and combines beauty and practicality for the modern women. Busy women on the go need trusted clothing that can take them from a workday full of meetings, to school runs and after work events.
Jersey wrap dresses will allow your body to move with ease and comfort and can be thrown into the washing pile for easy machine laundering. The best part? You will never need to iron a jersey wrap dress meaning you will have more time to spend on the important things.
Most of the SACHA DRAKE reverse wrap day dresses are so easy to wear and can be reversed for two looks in one. Simply put the dress on back to front and wrap it around you for a boat-neck style.
The Reverse Wrap Dress (pictured in navy) is the perfect throw on and go wrap dress and can be worn boat-neck or V-neck. It also comes in a navy spot colourway if your after a little more detail.
Wrap styles for evenings
From a Black tie intimate affair to a milestone birthday, an evening wrap dress will become a timeless treasure in your wardrobe. Opulent prints and striking florals embody femininity and elegance whilst sweeping A-line skirts create a striking silhouette.
For a more formal black-tie evening opt for floor length or midi gowns such as the Sapphire Chrysanthemum Dress (pictured) due mid March.
These dresses will wrap around and work with your body and look fantastic when paired back with statement jewels and heels.
Wrap styles for weddings
Wrap dresses are perfect for weddings as they not only look amazing, but they can easily be adjusted throughout the day for maximum comfort. The draped A-line skirts give a romantic feel whilst bold prints and colour add personality and charm.
Darker colours are perfect for more formal weddings that will take you into the evenings, whilst printed and bright colours are perfect for day and garden
weddings.
We love the Orange Grove Wrap Dress for a formal or garden wedding as its length and elegance is perfect for formal weddings, whilst the vibrant colour and wrapped style can also take you to a beach, day or garden wedding.

Dress Styling and Fit
For work, minimal styling lets the print or cut do the talking. Block heels, a structured bag and simple jewellery are all you need. For events, add strappy heels, a statement earring and a clutch to shift the mood entirely. SACHA DRAKE's online stylists are available via chat for personalised recommendations if you want a second opinion.
The wrap silhouette works across most body shapes because the adjustable tie allows you to manipulate the dress to your body. It is particularly flattering on Hourglass and Pear shapes as it defines the waist and skims the hips.
For a formal event, keep accessories elevated with heeled sandals, a clutch and statement jewellery. For a weekend or travel setting, flat sandals and a sun hat bring the formality down without the dress losing its impact. The SACHA DRAKE maxi is designed to transition between settings, so the same dress works across multiple occasions with a simple accessory swap.
The midi sits roughly at mid-calf and works across a broader range of occasions including workwear, cocktail events and weddings. The maxi runs to the ankle or floor and leans more toward formal occasions and warm-weather events. Both silhouettes are available in wrap and structured styles across the SACHA DRAKE range, and both are categorised by body shape to help you find the most flattering option.
Every SACHA DRAKE garment is categorised by one of five body shapes: Hourglass, Column, Pear, Apple and Maternity. The brand designs specifically to flatter each shape rather than applying a single block pattern across all sizes. Wrap and reverse-wrap styles in particular are engineered to define the waist, balance proportions and move well on the body rather than just fitting around it.
Wrap and reverse-wrap midi styles are the strongest options for a pear shape. The wrap tie allows you to define the waist while the skirt skims over the hips rather than clinging. A-line midi silhouettes also work well for the same reason.
