Surplice dress
Surplice

Like a permanent version of a wrap dress, this style is created by cross-wrapping fabric across the front and securing it (most often in the seam) to create a V-shape neckline.

This style is good for everyone and is such a flattering silhouette! The faux wrap creates a V-neck, gathers at the waist and releases at the hip.
