Features
Bando is one of the most popular dress models. This dress is simply created for parties, as it is very beautiful, sexy and, in addition, completely does not constrain movements, allowing you to have fun all night long.
The name of the dress-bandeau comes from the French word, which translates as “bandage”. Indeed, this model has a certain resemblance to a scarf tied over the chest. Bando - quite a frank outfit. He not only fits the figure, but also leaves his shoulders and decollete zone open. A characteristic element of a bandeau dress is a tight bodice without straps and sleeves. The skirt can be either narrow or fairly loose, but it is almost always short - no higher than the middle of the knee.
Who is it for?
Slender girls look in such dresses simply delightfully, regardless of growth. But owners of magnificent forms should not bypass this outfit, you only need to skillfully handle the features of the bando. The tight-fitting top of the dress acts on the principle of a corset, slightly stretching the stomach. At the same time, the breasts raised by the corsage look really luxurious.
Owners of magnificent hips should opt for a bandeau dress with a loose skirt. For those with hips and waist approximately the same, it is better to give preference to dresses with voluminous skirts, for example, the “tulip” style. If you have full shoulders and arms, it is recommended to put on a thin stole or bolero over the dress.
Varieties
- Classic Bandeau Dress It is an outfit with a tight, short skirt that opens the neck, shoulders and upper chest.
- Strapless Bandeau Dress - This is a modern modification of this style.Since the bodice of the dress remains stiff and does not need additional "reinforcement", straps here perform a purely decorative function.
- Full Skirt Bandeau Dress - Another modification of this outfit. The narrow skirt is being replaced by more voluminous options: pleated skirt, bell, tutu, etc.
- Peplum Bandeau Dress Today is one of the most popular models. Peplum looks great on skinny dresses, giving the figure a seductive, feminine shape.
Length
Bandeau dress is an outfit for parties, so traditionally it is quite short. However, modern designers continue to modify this style, creating more and more new bandeau models with skirts of different lengths.
Long
A long bandeau dress is an option for modest girls who prefer to demonstrate one thing: either the legs or the neckline. True, despite the long skirt, such dresses do not look very strict, since they usually have a fairly high cut. A long bandeau can be either an evening gown for special occasions or a light summer dress that saves from the heat.
Midi
A medium-length bandeau dress looks very elegant. Simple models of a half-fitting silhouette, made in a restrained color scheme, can even be worn in the office (though, you still have to put on a jacket over the dress so as not to sparkle with bare shoulders at work). For going to the theater, to the opening of an exhibition or to a restaurant, such an outfit will be very useful.
Mini
Girls love short bandeau dresses, as they allow everyone to show their attractive figure. Models with a mini skirt are quite frank, so putting them on is only for informal events. For those who are tired of classic cocktail dresses, we advise you to pay attention to a bando with an asymmetric skirt (in front, shorter and longer at the back), as well as transformer dresses with a removable upper skirt.
Selection tips
- A bando dress should be bought only if you are sure that you will feel comfortable exposing your bare shoulders for all to see. If you think that this part of the body is not perfect, or simply do not like to open it, it is better to refuse to buy this model (or choose a suitable jacket or bolero for it).
- A bando dress can be a great alternative to a sundress. If you want to bring a fresh stream to your summer wardrobe, be sure to look at this model. Choose dresses with a loose bodice and a loose skirt. The fabric from which the outfit is sewn should be thin and light. In summer, it is better to wear dresses of bright and bright colors. In this outfit, you will look great on the beach or for a walk around the city.
What to wear?
Bandeau dress is a very spectacular outfit. It is very beautiful in itself, so it does not need additional support. If it’s cool outside, you can put on a jacket or an elegant cardigan over the dress. In this case, a neck scarf will be appropriate, but it will need to be removed along with outer clothing. Pantyhose for a bando dress should be selected as thin as possible, body light, but dense dark tights should be avoided. If the dress model is quite simple, it will go well with patterned tights or stockings. A long summer dress with bare shoulders can be worn with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.
Accessories
Despite the fact that the bandeau dress is very self-sufficient, it can not be spoiled by a variety of decorations. Which accessories to choose depends on the style of the outfit.
With a long evening dress, jewelry will look beautiful: earrings and a necklace made of stones. For a cocktail bandeau dress, jewelry in the form of large hanging earrings and multi-layer bracelets is suitable. Summer outfits can be combined with bright jewelry: long beads, unusual earrings and a large number of "gypsy" bracelets.Do not forget about hair ornaments: original hairpins, headbands, headbands, etc. Indeed, to create a harmonious image, every detail is important.
Footwear
Bando is an incredibly beautiful dress that effectively emphasizes the figure. Like any other similar outfit, he, of course, “asks” for his shoes with heels. Indeed, putting on shoes with a heel, the girl instantly changes: her posture becomes more graceful, and her gait becomes smoother.
A bando looks best with elegant shoes - shoes or sandals. High boots and boots do not go well with an open top, so it is better to refuse such shoes. Summer bandeau dresses with a long skirt can be worn with shoes on a flat sole or on a platform. With such a model, gladiator sandals or ballet flats will look great.
