Bandage Dresses

Something (I have no idea what!) is making me really really want a bandage dress right now - I don't know if it's the one I saw in Matches, or if it's the realisation that at 23, I'm not getting any younger so I should take advantage of my body now. But I've mostly been looking at these online (sales!!) in my revision breaks.

Firstly, Hervé Léger.... the classic but sadly very very much out of my price league.


£712.60 from Net-A-Porter
(only in sizes XS and XXS)


No longer available, but is the type I want!!



Lindsey Lohan rocking it!!!



So I've been having a good look around, and it looks like Lipsy are doing some of the best imitations!!!! Check these out for bandage-elastic-tasticness.




I'm looking for one with straps really, as I'm a bit of an energetic dancer in clubs!! But this bandeau bandage dress is available from ASOS for £53.85

They do this one in black too, but they don't have it in a 10, boooo. I'm still a bit unsure on the one-shoulder thing. Love the electric blue colour though. This is £53.82 (£39.14 for the black!!) from Lipsy's website. I'm debating this one.

And if only this one was in black or navy or a different colour that I could pull off!! I like red, but it's got to be either brighter or darker, can't do this in between, doesn't work tonally with my hair!!! Love the shape though. £63.62 from ASOS.



Oh, and I did buy another of those teacups from the below post! Risking freezing to death (well, freezing my hands off, damn Raynaud's disease!!).

I usually find absolutely nothing I like in Jane Norman, but I popped in for the sale yesterday and saw this dress - http://www.janenorman.co.uk/fcp/product/buy-fashion-look-fabulous/Sale/panelled-body-con-dress/4780?colour=black - it was absolutely gorgeous on and relatively cheap! Just if you needed additional ideas! x

That photo of La Lohan is brutal, what's wrong with her face!?

@ Tori Marie - bought one!! Love it, though it is sooo short!! And much more of a bargain than the Herve Leger (or even the Lipsy ones!)

@ Pixie July - Thankyou!! I love it! Colour blocking rocks my socks right now!!

@ The Sexy Pedestrian - you're so right! I do love the Lohan but she has such a weird face in that photo.
