Along with wrap dresses and shirt dresses, there's one frock style we encourage everyone to try at least once, especially if you prefer a more figure-emphasizing silhouette. Cue: drawstring dresses. Their classic form, cinched at the waist, not only provides the luxury of being able to adjust to obtain the right fit, but the trend allows you to wear something easy yet defined all at once. Who doesn't like that?
Furthermore, with the ruched trend also making waves, you can find a handful of modern takes to the drawstring dress. Each of them allows you to play with sizing, length, and symmetry to really get a look that best pleases you.
With a collection of flowy maxis, classic styles, and silky going-out numbers all accounted for, keep scrolling to see which style of drawstring dress is perfect for you.
