The wrap dress is nothing new—its icon status dates back decades. The classic style’s longevity is proof of its versatility. Diane von Furstenberg originally invented the wrap dress in jersey material in 1974, according to an article in Marie Claire. Its power was that it was both universally flattering and actually comfortable. From Studio 54 to the White House, these popular styles have been worn by everyone from Madonna to Michelle Obama.
