Equal parts sweet and slightly unhinged (just how we like it), this Instant Energy Faux Wrap Dress serves vintage pin-up charm with a mischievous twist. Juicy strawberries scatter across a dark backdrop while stealthy black cats prowl between the fruit, giving this print a wink-wink surprise the closer you look. The faux wrap silhouette creates a flattering V-neckline and cinched waist, while the full, swingy skirt invites a dramatic spin—or two. It’s the kind of dress that feels classic at first glance, then delightfully unexpected once you catch the cats. Perfect for date nights, dinner parties, or causing a little harmless main-character mischief wherever you go.

"I love the print of this dress, but the fit is odd. I had to go one size up because it seems like most of ModCloth's stuff says that XS is sold out. I expected it to be a bit big, but it blouses strangely at the bust. I tailored the dress a bit and it helped. The print is really pretty though and I do love the wrap style."
"Just arrived today! I initially hesitated, thinking the price point was a little high but in the end I’m so glad I ordered. I’m a straight sz 10, so I ordered an (L)—perfect fit! The neckline falls where it should, no excess gapping at the sides, waist is comfortable and the print is downright adorable! It’s very flattering. I’m pretty short, so it could only be more perfect if it hit at the knee. Oh, well—Can’t get everything! With the sale going on I just ordered two more in different prints and can’t wait to get them!"
"I love this dress. Very flattering, however the waist fabric does billow out a little bit. However, it wasn't enough for me to return it. The pattern is adorable, well-pigmented, and I can't wait to wear this again and again."
"Could be cute but too many layers and so bulky where they cross over"
"Very beautiful dress. I bought the crazy spirit critter print and the last of the large size in the rainbow heart print. I love them both on reason. I love the out there patterns on ModCloth dresses and not just the classic vintage styles. This dress is well-made and flatters my body perfectly. True to size as well. If I did buy one more, I would probably be the seahorse pattern."
"This dress is awesomely spooky but also extremely flattering. I like how you can't tell they are skulls until you look up close. The fit is perfect, and I feel like a total bombshell wearing it. It is also made of quality materials so I know it will last and is also comfortable. Love it!"
"A little big in the waistband but super cute dress"
"Super super cute print (I got so many compliments) and it has pockets! I do wish that the bottom part of the dress (waist down) was lined, but it's not see-through at least. I just think it would elevate the quality of the garment. Anyway - I still love it!"
"Love this dress. Comfortable and flattering. Pockets are a great bonus!"
"Adorable print, breezy fabric. Perfect summer dress. Armpits are a bit large so I have to be mindful of the bra underneath."
