“Who needs a bandage dress?” Just post your last tragic break up story in the comments below and MissMalini will fix you right up with some retail therapy and send you an FCUK bandage dress!”
We’ve seen celebrity after celebrity poured into them. We’ve marveled at how flattering they are on women whose figures we know are not perfect! We’ve compared photos of women wearing them and decided who ‘wore it better’. So, what’s the craze all about? Reviews from those who’ve tried the dress say (yes) it’s very tight fitting, but not ridiculously so. Because of the way it’s made, it tends to hold in the areas that need to be constricted and push up the areas that need to be augmented. Sounds kind of like the dress version of the Miracle Bra! Get yours Now.
How to Wear a Bandage Dress
- Bandage dresses can be worn by any one. It is a mistaken belief that curvy women can’t wear them.
- Don’t overdose on makeup you can sometimes hamper your overall look.
- If you have long legs, you can sport a bandage dress with a high neck, but if you are petite avoid this style and opt for spaghetti bandage, strapless or even broad shoulder dresses.
- This winter to enhance your look you can even wear a cardigan on top of your strapless bandage dress
Who’s Idea was It?
Herve Leger is the original creator of the Bandage Dress. After he started his own line in 1985, he was walking through a factory and saw some old bands of fabric that were considered garbage. He had the idea to ‘wrap’ them next to each other to create a form-fitting dress. Cindy Crawford was one of the first celebs to wear the new design. It was a huge hit through the late 80’s and early 90’s. Popularity died off for awhile, but the dress was resurrected occasionally by celebrities such as Elizabeth Hurley. A couple of years ago, wearing vintage Herve Leger dresses became wildly popular. So much so, the style began being created again. Christopher Kane (who was about 8 when the first bandage dress came out) designed a series of neon bandage dresses for his first independent fashion show in 2006. In 2007, the Proenza Schouler collection contained many bandage dress inspired styles.
