Short Cross Front Dress by Issa

Issa

Arguably the seventies' most enduring dress style was the wrap dress, a style invented by Diane von Furstenberg that became a lasting wardrobe staple across decades. This Short Cross Front Dress by Issa provides a stylish take on the style, using stylish retro simplicity.

The wrap front section is given a unique flavour thanks to the gathered draping, creating texture and shape without detracting from the elegance of the dress. With the original deep v-neck and a mid-thigh hemline, the bright red shade manages to be vampish without a hint of tacky.

It's available online in the UK for £480 from Matches Fashion.
