TOMS bandage boot - the perfect way to wear the trend if body-con is more "trick" than "treat" for you!Btw, Fellow Fashionista SG of Savvy Mode just did a fantastic roundup of Léger and other bandage dresses. Check it out here.
I love how all of these trends, and the ones from yesterday, could also be used for Halloween costumes( multi-purpose fashion). I guess the Revenge of the Mummy is to look really sexy and sleek. Carrie, a really great wrap up of the barrage of bandages!!
ReplyDeleteyou really have to have a great body to wear a "bandage" dress.. :z it shows everything
ReplyDeletei adore the HL bandage dresses... amazing.
ReplyDeleteI adore that black turtleneck dress by Jil Sanders! But what a BODY you have to have! Definitely not for everyone :)
ReplyDeletethanks CC for the mention. bandage dresses are very sexy, i will try to find one that is sort of comfy. i like the skirt in the end. : )
ReplyDeleteI looove bandage dresses. They are so sexy. I'm waiting for the right event to get mine out of the closet! If you get curious about it I posted a photograph of it along with my "bandage dress"post :D It was round late September if I recall.
ReplyDeleteI really love the alexander wand dress
ReplyDeleteas much as i love bandage by Herve, i hate the fact that those dresses are flooded on the SS09 runway.
ReplyDeleteand i need to sign on gym again before dressing in a bandage dress.
Love this look, the ombré dress Arlenis is wearing on the runway is my favorite, love the way it's cut and the colors!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
S-C
i don't know if i could just wear a bandage plain?
ReplyDeletei would feel naked.
Que- a leather moto! perfect combo.
I shall be on the hunt for one...for a sexy summer evening :)
x.
these are not only cute, but they're unbelievably flattering!
ReplyDeleteDidn't Alaia originate the bandage dress look or am I remembering wrong?
ReplyDeleteestos vestidos son muy sexis pero elegantes, me encantaria tener uno.. besos
ReplyDeletedang mama i would have to rock the band on my wrist and that's about it cuz you need to be in shape for these things!
ReplyDeleteIn a bandage dress, there's such a fine line between chic and, well, you know. Rachel Weisz wears here well!
ReplyDeleteI love this wrap look - especially when done in an elegant way!
ReplyDeletei would love one! they look like they suck and tuck everything in lol!
ReplyDeleteHi there-If funds allowed, I'd 100%have a Herve in my wardrobe!! i do love the Wang dress too, a great post my dear!
ReplyDeleteThey are nice but I'd rather go with the skirt! (Ok a dress too hee hee)
ReplyDeleteYou've been away... are you mad with me?
ReplyDeletexoxo
ooh I love that rag & bone dress!
ReplyDeleteooh la la! I love these dresses! I especially like the one that Rachel Bilson has been photographed in all over the place. As always, beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteLooove this look, I want a little bandage dress SO badly. That dress Serena wore on GG <3
ReplyDeleteOh wow love these, they all look fantastic. Rachel Weisz looks as fabulous as always, and I'm thinking that Blake wore the dress better than JJ personally!
ReplyDeleteYep, these dresses inspired of the originals by Hervé Léger will be a trend the next season :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen the ones by Hervé Léger in Harrods, they are incredible, just made with bandages and a zip, and the fit perfectly these famous people you have posted.
They are great, but just for slim girls..
Byee
xx
great post title! oh, the bandage dress never really goes out of style, does it?
ReplyDeleteI love bandage, especially skirts.
ReplyDeletewha la la...great pix!
ReplyDeleteLong, black, dress is the best (pic. 5)
ReplyDeletei love bandaged pencil skirts; once again, great post & amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love this look. Twenty years ago, I might have tried it!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't pull it off xD
ReplyDeleteherve leger is amazing at creating body conscious dresses! i don't know if i'd be brave enough to wear one.. maybe after a few more trips to the gym!
ReplyDeleteit's all about the hugging of curvesssssss ;)
ReplyDeleteany idea where that dress lively is wearing from?
I love it in skirts, and am intrigued by the graduation into boots
ReplyDeletebut seeing how it looks on someone non waifish like Jessica Simpson (who's body really resembles mine) I am convinced not to try this!
gotta say i LOVE the shapes
ReplyDeletei just love bandage dresses and it's a shame i own ZERO! ha
anywho, hope u had a wonderful Wednesday girl! ttyl
xoxo
wow i LOVE this look! so chic and feminine! however there is no way i could ever pull this off! you definetely need the body!
ReplyDeleteI need to be wrapped up like a mummy to sweat off some pounds so I can wear one of these fitted numbers... like that first coral one.
ReplyDeleteWho knew horizontal stripes could be so flattering?
ReplyDeleteMy ususal game: this time, I love Jil Sander's.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Alexander Wang dress...and that whole Junja W. collection with the African print fabric...it's scrumptious.
ReplyDeletei love the stella mccartney black dres... but you need a body to be able to wear that...
ReplyDeleteI like this look. I prefer it in colour, the black and silver dresses bore me a little now but I love the newer ones in brighter sades like you picked out.
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty. But not for me.. I need more forgiving outfits in which I can freely move around. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who'd enjoy that kind of dresses.
ReplyDeleteooooh i love this post! i totally love Hervé Léger, the bandage dresses are so hot! x
ReplyDeletei think v. beck pulled it off the best when she wore the purple and silver herve leger dress. such a fun look! :)
ReplyDeletecara mia
Personally im such a fan of these bandages dresses and the trend at large.Herve L does it best but im LURVING some of the bandage pieces in Alexander W's collection. That multi-layer mesh skirt is purr-fect!I'd rock that with a simple thin tee.
ReplyDeletekisses dear
marian
You are so smart and so chic!
ReplyDeleteI like Leger coat, a lot!
ReplyDeleteI like Leger dress, a lot!
ReplyDeleteMy mistake, sorry. :)
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love Blake Lively, but I would go for black shoes with that dress.
And Elle Macpherson, WOW! What's her secret? :)
I adore the ombré frock, the green DvF dress, and the purple dress!
ReplyDeleteI love all this dresses, Gisele Bundchen was also stunning when visited Ibiza (Spain) for work, in an H. Ledger white one. It's a pity I don't have the appropriate body for wearing those, because they are all so sexy!
ReplyDeleteI love bandage! Especially Herve Leger's - they're so genius. Great collection of photos (:
ReplyDeletei actually like these dresses alot, i like blake lively's most though x
ReplyDeleteI love them soooooooooo much!!!!!!!! I can´t hardly wait to get one
