Is this the most flattering dress in the world?

Liz Jones says yes but I’m not so sure...

blue wrpp dress

It’s a wrap dress (as you will have noticed) or, to be more specific, the Isabella Oliver 365 Classic Wrap Dress, cited by Jones in the Daily Mail as the dress that suits every size and shape. (£99, www.isabellaoliver.com)

But I’ve always had issues with wrap dresses – let’s call them stomach issues. See that flat bit that sits nice and neatly on Liz’s stomach? Goes into horrible fleshy-backed folds on mine! And I’ve never found knee-length very flattering. For me you can’t beat a shift dress, good shape, looks a bit funky, doesn’t hover annoyingly around the knee and no stomach break-outs.

What do you think? Wrap or shift?
