According to Max Azria, "[a] bandage dress isn't a woven, it's all knitted on a knitting machine and is a completely different concept...People assume it's cut-and-sew, but there's no cutting. It's knitted in a panel and then attached". Azzedine Alaïa, the "King of Cling", included bandage dresses in his collections in the mid-1980s. Singer Grace Jones wore a bandage dress from the designer's spring/summer 1986 collection as she carried him onstage to accept his Best Designer of the Year award at the 1985 Oscars de la Mode. Bandage dresses are noted for accommodating a broad variety of body styles due to the stretchy fabric. The material in a bandage dress is heavy and provides some contouring; not every dress with the bodycon silhouette provides this same shaping element.
