During the Great Depression, we encountered the "Hooverettes" with a design similar to wrap dresses. However, it wasn’t until 1970 that Diane von Furstenberg officially introduced the wrap dress with stretchy jersey fabric, offering both comfort and style.

 

Over the years, this dress has remained a symbol of freedom and female empowerment. So, what are you waiting for, ladies? It's time to add this essential piece to your wardrobe!
