In an interview during a product launch enhanced by flash mobs of young women chanting “Be the woman you want to be!” and dancing by the Eiffel Tower, Diane von Furstenberg said, “My mission is to empower women to feel beautiful and secure and confident. Because when you are confident you are beautiful.”
No wonder her iconic wrap dress has been embraced by women of all ages, shapes and sizes for over 40 years, including me. I’m always confident in my wrap knit dresses, on or off the bike. Mission accomplished, Diane!

- The overlap of the wrap skirt gives me extra coverage when I’m in the saddle.
-
- The wrap dress flatters almost every figure. I love the neckline.
-
- Confident and secure and ready to take on any situation. Thanks, DVF!
P.S. Diane, sign me up to dance in your flash mob at your next launch. I’ll even fly to Paris for it.

I hope this comment sticks. I tried a few days ago and it disappeared. Likely my fault. Anyway, kudos, kudos on the wrap dress and heels! I have a floral wrap dress that I love for my little bike commute.

Thanks. Wrap dresses are comfy aren’t they? Oh, and your earlier comment is still here, it’s just attached to the photo of the heels, not the main post. Click on the first small image and you’ll see it.
