Bandage dress

The bandage dress was created by Azzedine Alaïa and is most closely associated with the designer Hervé Léger.

[2] Bandage dresses are noted for accommodating a broad variety of body styles due to the stretchy fabric.

Azzedine Alaïa, the "King of Cling", included bandage dresses in his collections in the mid-1980s.

A 1993 New York Times review of one of his runway shows remarked that his apparent specialty was "girdle-tight dresses" made from strips of fabric, creating what they termed the "sexy mummy look".

[5] When BCBG Max Azria acquired Léger's brand in the late 1990s, the bandage dress reached a wider audience.
