Q. I am mad about wrap dresses. In fact they are my single favourite garment – they are very stylish and good for ladies with boobs. However it’s very hard to find good ones in Ireland. Any tips on where I should be looking? Clodagh, 32, Dublin.

A. Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) is the lady to thank for the fabulous creation that is the wrap dress. Created in the 1970’s, it has now reached iconic status in the fashion world for its timeless elegance. It’s a style that is easy to wear, loves a women’s curves and creates a flattering silhouette for practically ever body shape. The beauty of the wrap dress comes in its folding style that hugs a woman’s body in all the right places, skimming the hips, cinching the waist and accentuating the cleavage. As well as creating the wrap, DVF is also known for her love of colour and pattern so make a statement in this stripe print dress (€440) available in Brown Thomas nationwide. Kate Middleton created quite the stir wearing a royal blue Issa wrap dress at the announcement of her engagement. The high street was quick to react with copies hitting stores within weeks. If you’d prefer something a bit more playful check out this floral wrap from Awear for only €40. With regard to accessorising, I always find wrap dresses are best worn simply. So keep accessories to a minimum. One statement piece of jewellery that complements your style such as a necklace or wrist clasp will say enough and allow you to shine in a fab dress.
