bandage dresses

Elastic strip garments

A bandage dress is a form-fitting garment made of strips of stretchy fabric wrapped tightly around the body, creating a sculpted silhouette.

The design smooths and shapes the figure like medical bandages wound around a limb.

Popularized by designer Hervé Léger in the 1990s, the style became a nightclub and red carpet staple: She wore a black bandage dress to the club.
