Ask BB: Herve Leger Bandage Dresses for Less

Posted by

I'm going to 4 weddings this year, and I'm desperate to wear a bandage dress. I'm in college and cannot afford a Herve Leger dress but LOVE the look. Is there anywhere where I can find it for cheap? Or at least the style of the fit being that tight, but not in the trashy way. —Andrea

It figures I'd like the most expensive one.

Honestly, the INC and maybe the Express ones are the only ones that don't look, uh, kinda trashy to me. At least, not nice enough for a wedding. Iffy on the ArdenB one, but definitely not the others.

I like 4 and 6, maybe 6 more for a wedding.

If I didn't already have my wedding dress I'd really be tempted to wear #2 to my wedding next week!

A bandage dress to me seems more night out on the town than wedding, but hey I guess depends on the crowd! The Express one is nice, but a bit too close to a wedding dress shade. I think the Akira or Asos ones are the best mix of sexy and classy with a touch of edginess.

have you tried renttherunway.com ? it's like bag, borrow or steal.. but with dresses!
you can rent a real herve leger dress for $100 -$200.
bonus is you can rent a different dress for all the different weddings you have to go to this year!

For a wedding...the Express one for sure! At least that's a little more "cocktail dress" than a "night on the town" look. I also like the one shoulder look!

I tried on the Macy's INC one, and it fit AWESOMELY. Huge downside (and why I ultimately didn't buy it): the back is solid black.

Some people know that that is easier to buy essays and term paper than to make by own efforts.

I've used two more writing organization in the past and the papers I received from the company was by far the most well put together term papers of the three. But, this community more attractive and nimble. My individualguidelines were followed and by reason of dominant writing example I was smart to achieve my custom term paper with confidence. I will clearly use this essays online in the evermore.
