Cream strapless bandage dress (a), sleeves (b, c), and collar (d) by Herve Leger. The dress (a) is made from bands of white ribbed knit sewn horizontally and varying in width to contour to the shape of the body. They alternate in a matte and shiny finish. There is a slit at the center back of the floor-length column skirt that reaches to the knee. The dress closes at the center back with a zipper and one (1) hook-and-eye. The dress is not lined. Grip tape is sewn around the interior top edge. A white fabric label with black embroidered text reading "HERVE / LEGER / COUTURE" is sewn at the interior proper right back. A size, fiber content, and care label is sewn below it. The detached sleeves (b, c) are made from the shiny knit fabric of the dress. They pull over the arms, with a short zipper at the cuff.
