English term

wrap around design

English to French Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Hi,

i'm translating clothing items, but i can't find a suitable translation for "wrap around" in this context:

here is the sentence: "This dance skirt has a wrap around design with an elasticated waistband for a comfortable fit"

I tried "design/conception qui enroule" but i think a better translation can be found.

Merci,

Christophe
