Ever since the "Bandage Dress" by Hervé Léger made its way back into our fashion closets a few years back, they've never left. The last time "Bandages" were done with precision and great form was in the days of the "Mummy's" back in Egypt. These dresses are effortlessly chic , and can be both dressed down or up according to what you accent them with. There has been countless knockoffs that have gone into the market, but none of them can compare to the "original" . One accessory that is mandatory while wearing these one-of-a kind creations (whether it is the real deal or the less expensive counterparts is : the proper form of ladies underwear that provides maximum control. There is no way you can wear such a figure hugging, no room for any VPL (visible panty lines) type of dress sans any form of shapewear after all. For the "stick figure" types - maybe this is not as mandatory , but anyone with a ounce of curves it is highly suggested. The biggest faux pas is to have one of these dresses on with lumps, bumps, and lady multiple humps - it depreciates the look all together. The lace control maxi (pictured, above) has a full brief silhouette , which features graduated zoned compression that targets the tummy and rear. Ideal for these style of dresses pictured above. If you feel you need more control than what a brief can offer, opt for a full on slip under your dress. As long as you have your shapewear in tact, you are sure to make a splash in your Bandage Dress !!
