Bandage Dress- Sexy, yet Refined

Submitted by Mimi on Tuesday, 21 April 200917 Comments

Celebrities and supermodels are pictured everywhere, wearing these stunning numbers that give them a coveted hour-glass silhouette. Yes, I’m referring to the hottest dress this season- the bandage dress. Some call it the “mummy dress”, some call it “the bandage”, I call it the miracle dress: If you’re too little, it gives you curves. If you’re voluptuous, it holds everything in just enough.

Who started the trend? - Super beautiful and edgy Spring/Summer 2009 collection by Herve Leger gave birth to the new version of a bandage dressing.

I personally can’t wait to get my hands on one of these body hugging dresses, because they are perfect for hot summer nights out on the town.

Would you wear a bandage dress?

loving the leger dresses… don’t think i dar tho. wouldn’t be too kind on my lumpy bits ;-D but they are kwl to watch on the runway. also wonder if they’d hike up un-chicly as one walked in real-life… probs not on skinny models, but normal people… probably.

Hervé is the master! I have adored his dresses for years and his boutique on Rodeo Drive is quite fun… teeny, tiny but fun.
I love the dresses in vibrant colors!
PS ~ Don’t forget to check upscale second hand stores in your area. Many women purchase new, wear only once or twice and then resale. The best deal in town!

I love that Narciso Rodriguez number! I agree with some of the other comments about how such a body-conscious fit can reveal lumps and bumps–time to break out the Spanx, I guess.

I LOVE this look! Marc Jacobs makes a black and white one that’s absolutely gorgeous… however, they have more affordable ones at Bebe that are also cute!

I would totally wear one. I’ve been trying to find a really sexy one for those hot summer nights but b/c I’m petit, it’s hard to find sizes that fit (i’m barely 5 feet, and usually a size 0 or xs). Any advice?

I think it’s also nice to see a body hugging shape after so many years of volume/bubble shapes (though I love those too).

Hi Liv,
I can understand how you feel…I’m 5′5, but even I find a hard time sometimes. I know some stores offer sizes such as xxs, but I think your best bet would be to buy the smallest dress you can find and then get it altered to make it fit you perfectly.
