Closet Core Elodie Wrap Dress

Designed for versatile and sophisticated style, the romantic Elodie Wrap Dress by Closet Core is equally appropriate at a park picnic or a black-tie wedding. This modern take on a classic wrap dress features a softly flowing bodice with three release pleats under the bust and at center back for lovely, soft shaping. The gape-free neckline is finished with a facing for a clean finish without visible stitching, but you can finish it with bias tape if preferred. The swishy, voluminous skirt comes in three lengths (above the knee, midi or maxi) with optional patch pockets and a subtle high/low hem, while the dolman-style sleeve has both a short version and a longer, more formal option that ends at the elbow; mix and match these elements to make your own perfect Elodie! For a chic day-to-day dress, the above-knee or midi-length skirt with patch pockets made in a casual, structured fabric like linen or cotton is a wrap dress workhorse you’ll want to wear daily. Meanwhile, as their bridal-inspired look from the photoshoot shows, the maxi-skirt version (especially paired with the spiffy longer sleeve) and the right fabric makes an effortless and elegant gown for a formal event, whether you’re a guest or star of the show!

Recommended Fabrics:
Elodie can be made in a wide variety of fabrics, each creating a different style; light- to medium-weight wovens like linen, cotton poplin, batiste, voile and chambray will have a more casual feel, while drapey wovens like silk, viscose, tencel or rayon challis will have a more elegant and fluid effect.
