We chose this Herve Leger dress as our designer pick of the week, because it’s sort of a more wearable version of the ultra-popular bandage dresses from the designer.

The Herve Leger bicolor sweetheart neck tank dress, $1,250, uses the ultra-form-fitting bandage design in black as an empire-waist detail while wider white bands are bit more forgiving throughout the rest of the dress.

The whole design is created with flattering optical illusions – the tight black banding cinches the smallest part of the waist and the inverted V at the hem has a slimming effect as well.
