Herve Leger · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Dresses
Era / Decade
2010s. The RN 80742 and CA 31586 codes correspond to BCBG Max Azria Group, which acquired the brand and revitalized the bandage dress trend during this era.
Material
90% Rayon, 9% Nylon, 1% Spandex. This heavy-gauge knit is the signature 'bandage' fabric designed for high elasticity and body-sculpting properties.
Condition
Very Good. The fabric appears to have its original elasticity and the color is vibrant. There is no visible pilling or thinning of the knit in the photo.
Demand Level
Moderate. While the 'bandage' trend peaked a few years ago, Herve Leger remains a staple label for formal events and high-end clubwear.

Authenticity Indicators
RN 80742 is verified for BCBG Max Azria (Owner of Herve Leger). High-quality font on the satin care label and the specific 90/9/1 material ratio are classic HL markers. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
No significant flaws visible, but buyer should check for 'zipper bulge' or 'knit separation' at the seams. The tag shows slight curling, suggesting it has been worn/handled.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
The RealReal, Poshmark, or eBay. The RealReal is best for authentication prestige; Poshmark is best for reaching shoppers specifically looking for designer labels at a discount.
Selling Tips
Always include 'Bodycon' and 'Bandage' in the title. Photography is key: use a dress form if possible to show the shape, as these look small and unimpressive on a hanger. Mention 'Store Flat' in the description to show you know how to care for the garment.
