No straps? No problem! Maxi or mini, satin or silk, patterned or solid, strapless dresses that show off the décolletage can do no wrong. Popularized in the late 1930s to 1940s, these bombshell bandeau style dresses were a semi-scandalous look when they first debuted. And now, they’re a staple for any occasion. A black strapless dress is a tried-and-true closet companion, whether it’s a dressy bandeau in satin for a party or event or a casual strapless dress ready for the beach or a day of shopping.
