While curating the right pieces for your wardrobe that will withstand the test of time, you should add pieces from designers that have historically proven their ability to be fashionable over several decades.

Take for instance, the Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress.  In 1976, Cybill Shepherd wore the DVF wrap dress in the iconic movie “Taxi Driver.”  The 1972 dress design is still going strong 50 years later.  It is timeless.  It is an investment piece you will not regret adding to your curated wardrobe.

The iconic dress comes in a variety of prices and styles.

When I first moved to NYC, one of my managers introduced me to the DVF dress.  She picked up her dress from Ebay.  She wore it through both of her pregnancies and many years afterward.  

Keeping that in mind, I added the classic style, as worn by Cybill Shepherd, to my wardrobe, as well as a sleeveless version.  That dress never goes out of style, no matter which pattern you get.  

Warning for petite women: skip the maxi length dress (especially if there is a pattern), because the dress is very long and not easily hemmed.
