Strapless mini dress in black and white bandage stripes

A bandage dress is built from thick bands of stretch knit sewn in rows, so the fabric itself holds the body in rather than draping over it. This one does it in alternating black and white bands, strapless, with a notched square neckline that dips at the centre of the bust, and a zip down the back. Mini length, fitted from bust to hem.

The bandage knit

Each stripe is a separate band with its own weight, which is what gives a bandage dress its hold: the stripes sit flat and do not ride or twist. It is heavier than a jersey bodycon and fully opaque. The notch at the neckline is cut into the top band, so the strapless edge has a shape rather than a straight line across.

Black and white stripes

Horizontal, even width, from the bust to the hem. The contrast is the point: it reads from across a room, which is why this is the party version of a little black dress rather than the quiet one.

What to wear with it

A heel, a small bag and one piece of metal at the ear, which is how it is photographed with a silver bag and drop earrings. Black or silver shoes; anything else adds a third colour. A cropped jacket over it for the journey.

Fit and measurements

Fitted throughout, thick stretch knit, back zip. Body measurements from the chart.

Size	US	Bust	Waist	High hip	Low hip
XS	0–2	76–80	60–64	78–82	86–90
S	2–6	81–85	65–69	83–87	91–95
M	6–8	86–90	70–74	88–92	96–100
L	10–12	91–96	75–79	93–97	101–105

Centimetres. Match your bust and waist to the chart; the bandage knit has stretch but is meant to fit close, so take your true size rather than sizing up.

Care

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash. Lay flat or hang to dry. No tumble dryer and no bleach: heat loosens the bands and bleach greys the white.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this strapless mini dress run true to size?

Yes, and take your true size rather than sizing up. The strapless mini dress is a bandage knit, so it is meant to fit close: bust 76 to 80 cm on an XS, which is US 0 to 2, up to 91 to 96 cm on a size L, US 10 to 12, with the waist from 60 to 79 cm across the four sizes. The bands stretch to fit and then hold; a size too big will not grip at the bust.

Will the strapless bandage dress stay up?

Yes, because of the construction. A bandage dress grips through the bands themselves rather than through a strip of elastic at the top edge, and the notched neckline is cut into the top band so it sits flat against the bust. For a long night, a strapless bra and a strip of fashion tape at the notch give a second hold; on a well-fitted size it stays put through dancing.

What do you wear under a strapless bodycon dress?

A strapless bra, or nothing, depending on your size and comfort; the bandage knit is thick and fully opaque, so nothing shows through in either case. Seamless underwear or a thong keeps the line clean over the hip, because a fitted knit will show a seam. The dress zips at the back, so it is easier to put on with the bra already in place.

Are horizontal stripes flattering on a bodycon dress?

On a bandage knit, yes. The stripes here are the bands themselves, so they sit flat and follow the body instead of stretching wider across it, which is what makes horizontal stripes look heavy on a thin jersey. The black bands at the waist read as the narrowest point. Black and white striped dresses are in the current ranges at Macy's and Oh Polly for that reason.

What goes with a black and white striped dress?

Black or silver and nothing else. A black or metallic heel, a small silver bag, a drop earring, which is how this one is photographed. A third colour fights the stripes. For a black and white party dress, keep the jacket cropped so the stripe stays visible from bust to hem. The high heels collection has the black and silver pairs that finish it.

How do you wash a bandage dress?

Cold water on a gentle cycle, or by hand, then lay flat or hang to dry. Do not tumble dry: heat is what loosens the bands and takes the hold out of a bandage dress. Do not bleach, even with the white stripes; it greys them. Turn it inside out so the outer bands do not rub against the drum, and zip it up before washing so the zip does not catch the knit.
