Even if you don’t have a bandage dress, you’ve definitely heard about it by now. Once prized by ’90s models, the style absolutely nailed Gen Z fashionistas this summer (and has since seen a 1,280 percent increase in searches on e-commerce platform Depop from May to July 2025). Statistics aside, there’s no disputing that bandage dresses continue to be popular, with stars from Hailey Bieber to Alix Earle taking up the baton of the colloquial bandage dress that saw Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Rihanna, and others show off the silhouette on red carpets in the early 2000s.

Want to make your own purchases? This Prime Day, you can do just that. For now, the best-selling bandage dress from Hervé Leger (the French fashion house that pioneered this type of dress and debuted the instant hit on its fall 1992 runway) will be on sale for 64 percent off. No, this is not a training exercise.

The first deal we’re looking at is a nod to Hervé Leger’s “The Gabriella Dress,” which combines a scoop neckline, mini length, and recycled rayon material to create something resembling a bodysuit. It makes you look snatched and is perfect to wear while dancing the night away at the club of your choice (preferably one that plays throwback hits like “Toxic” or “Disturbia”). Prices are currently down 64% and most sizes are still in stock. This happens so rarely that you might think it’s Christmas morning.

If you are looking for a bandage dress suitable for formal occasions such as weddings, Fundraising activitiesand the annual work soiree? Hervé Leger’s metallic Sandra dress is a winner in our book, and it looks a lot like the original Bandage piece that first appeared on the label’s runway, made from “dozens of stretchy bandage-style knit fabrics,” as WWD’s Lisa Lockwood puts it. Sandra also uses rayon, which is known for its breathability, silk-like softness, and luxurious appearance. This time, however, the material has a foil-like appearance, paying homage to this season’s fashion set’s obsession with metallic surfaces. A more modest midi dress, the wide straps crisscross at the back, emphasizing the sharpness of the shoulder blades.

Before Amazon’s October Prime Day, the metallic Sandra dress was selling for over $1,100, and now it can be yours for just $412. This means you can invest the price difference in strappy sandals and sculptural handbags that pair beautifully with fresh finds.

If fringe like the one seen on Calvin Klein and Gabriella Hearst’s Fall 2025 runway is on your mind, you’ll find plenty to love in the Hervé Leger metallic Alba dress on sale. Its body-skimming fit is amplified by the sweetheart neckline and the poufy floor-length accents in question. Are you itching for a strapless minidress that would fit right into an early 2000s pop music video? The Isla Dress is yours (we highly recommend pairing it with lipstick red).

Finally, if you’re a fan of straps (especially the spaghetti type), you’ll be wise to choose The Sadie Dress, which stands out among other bodycon outfits with its fold-over detail and emerald-like colorway. Of course, to make a style statement at your next party.

“The bandage dress is back.” It seems like every influencer these days is proclaiming: TikTok hashtag It has millions of views and continues to grow.
