House Of CB has relaunched its iconic bandage dress and it's taking over social media right now - here's where you can get yours
As the old saying goes, everything old can be made new again - and the latest fashion trend to enter its comeback era is the iconic bandage dress (we apologise if the word sends a shudder down your spine).
Those who went clubbing during the noughties will be all too familiar with the figure-hugging design, which was usually paired with sky-high heels, a statement necklace and hair backcombed to the high heavens.
House Of CB The Supermodel Chocolat Halter Midi Bandage Dress
Bandage is back in a big way - but gone are the days of struggling to get into a rigid and uncomfortable material.
House Of CB's The Supermodel is your new must-have for occasions when you need to bring the wow factor, crafted from a luxurious stretch fabric with a special tension quality that cinches to every curve.
With a sweetheart neckline and halter neck straps, it's both universally flattering and unexpectedly comfortable (and sure to earn you lots of compliments).
£169
Back then, the trend was loved by the it-girls of the moment: think Mischa Barton, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton. And if you still have yours lurking in your wardrobe somewhere, or you threw it out, get ready to dust yours off or invest in a new one, as we're here to tell you: bandage dresses are officially back.
With a roster of celebrity fans including Alix Earle, Eva Longoria and Millie Bobby Brown, House Of CB was incredibly popular throughout the 2010's, and rebranded from its former name Celeb Boutique in 2014.
Though the design pre-existed the brand, House Of CB has been widely credited with popularising the design and making it a key trend throughout the 2010's.
Throughout the evolution of the brand, its collection has gone from bodycon dresses and party wear to high-quality designs that are recognised and loved worldwide, including a stunning selection of bridal wear designs.
When Hailey Bieber was spotted in a bandage-style dress at the Fashion Trust U.S Award's earlier this year, it was only a matter of time since the iconic silhouette became a wardrobe must-have once again (searches for the style have surged 300 per cent in just one week) - and to celebrate, House Of CB has relaunched the ever-popular design.
The limited-edition collection features 15 bandage dress styles — from mini to midi-length designs — in an array of different colours. And since House Of CB announced the comeback of the bandage dress on social media, fans have been going crazy.
'I have not been this excited for a comeback ever,' wrote on TikTok user in House Of CB's now-viral video announcing the the return of the bandage dress.
'I am so excited for the youth,' said another. 'Every 21 year old deserves to have a reckless night out in a bandage dress,'.
'Ok I'm officially feeling old if this is fashionable again - I'm here for it, though!', said another user.
A must-have, easy-to-style addition to your occasion wear wardrobe, House Of CB's limited-edition bandage dress collection features dresses crafted from ultra-luxe stretch fabric and cinching tension technology - gone are the days of that rigid, uncomfortable material that you had to fight to get into.
While we won't be wearing ours with a statement necklace this time around, we'll be pairing The OG with dressy sandals for our summer holiday looks, and The Supermodel with a classic black pair of pumps for an elegant take on the trend once reserved for party girls.
How will you be wearing yours? You can shop the bandage dress collection now at houseofcb.com - though be quick, as this limited-edition collection won't be around for long.

Birmingham's shrines to Black Sabbath and where to find them
More than 40,000 Black Sabbath fans will be making their way to Birmingham in July for what is being described as "the greatest heavy metal show ever", marking the last ever performance of the band. The gig will be the first time that the original line-up - Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - have played together in 20 years. The day of metal will also see performances from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Halestorm, Anthrax and of people without tickets to the Villa Park event are expected to be in the city to soak up the are some of the sights and sounds visitors can enjoy. Ozzy the very heavy metal bull Fans entering Birmingham via New Street Station will get an indication of the city's links to the musical legend in the form of what started life as a huge piece of metal. The giant mechanical bull, which was the much-loved centrepiece to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, was officially named Ozzy and endorsed by the frontman himself. The 10m (33ft) high beast on the Grand Central concourse is a draw for selfies, and was unveiled in its home by Ozzy's wife Sharon in was originally made of aluminium but rebuilt using fire-retardant plastic and foam to ensure longevity in his prominent home. A real treat is when Ozzy also moves his head and swishes his tail every hour, from 08:15 to 19:15. Bostin' Black Sabbath murals A few metres away from the station, Navigation Street is home to the latest piece of street art dedicated to the Prince of by artist Mr Murals, the 40m (130ft) work depicts Ozzy and the band throughout the past seven decades. While creating the artwork, he was even caught off guard when he received a surprise visit from Sharon Osbourne during a trip to the city. Another mural, dating further back, can be found in the Digbeth area of the city. Head for the short stay car park at the city's coach station on Rea Street to take in this view. Visit the birthplace of heavy metal The next unmissable spot on the Black Sabbath tour is The Crown pub on Hill was here in1968 that the band, then named Earth, played their first gig. Visitors are unable to enter the building, which the owners say they plan to restore, but images of the band have been displayed on the pub's exterior. "I don't think there's any doubt that Birmingham can lay claim to being the birthplace of heavy metal," said Jez Collins, founder of the Birmingham Music artists to play at the venue have included Robert Plant, John Bonham, Judas Priest and Thin Lizzie, he said."It has an incredible story and heritage to tell."Free exhibitions will also be on show at the city's Museum and Art Gallery as well as Victoria Square. Fans can also visit Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens where a microphone and recording equipment used to make Sabbath's first studio recordings will be on show. Trace the musical history From The Crown you can trace the rise of Black Sabbath by walking past other venues they played, including "one of the great buildings of Birmingham", the Town Hall, added Mr Collins. "They'd have played at the Odeon, which is now just a cinema, and ended up at the Town Hall, which is two minutes from The Crown," he explained. "So you can plot their journey from a very, very small, intimate gig with 120 people into a bigger hall of a thousand, into a bigger hall where Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan played." Pilgrimage to the bench Carrying on to Broad Street you'll find another picture opportunity at the Black Sabbath bridge and bench."The really cool thing about the bridge for me is that most of the bands that you love and have played in Birmingham in recent years have made a special pilgrimage to it," said Birmingham journalist and metal fan Kirsty Bosley. Pantera, who are playing the Villa Park show dubbed "Back To The Beginning", are among artists to have posted images recently of themselves at the landmark. "It's a lovely photo opportunity and you'll be able to see all the tagged photos that other bands and artists, which is really cool," she added. Take the Ozzy tram In 2016 the frontman graced his home city to name a Midland Metro tram Ozzy, with thousands turning out to welcome the star. It is still running in the city, but West Midlands Metro said it was unable to give an exact timetable of where it was running during the weekend, but advised fans to look out on its social media channels for information nearer the time. Get up the Villa With or without a ticket, taking a trip to Aston itself would be valuable for fans wanting to soak up the football club's shop would be among those helping "dress the city" in Sabbath colours for the weekend. During a walk around the area fans could also visit the schools band members Ozzy was a pupil Prince Albert Junior School while Geezer went to Holte Grammar, Mr Collins said."And if you want to have a bit to eat you can stop at the Barton Arms which is opposite what was called Newtown Leisure Centre," he added. "That's where they rehearsed the first two albums, Black Sabbath and Paranoid, but they would leave their rehearsals and go into the Barton Arms, and sit and have a pint." See 'amazing little music venues' Ms Bosley urged visitors not to forget "amazing little venues" across the city that have supported the heavy metal scene and will be putting on events. The Flapper on Cambrian Wharf and Scruffy Murphy's on Dale End are among those worth a visit."Spend a bit of time there, spend a bit of money there and get a real feel for the very thing that connects us, which is in this case heavy metal," she added. Sabbath's original manager, Jim Simpson, has also programmed performances dubbed the Visit of Oz across the city in pubs, bars and even a canal boat. "The eyes of the whole world are going to be upon us," added Ms Boswell, "and it's going to be really special".She said the city's heavy metal community normally "operates in dark spaces" but the weekend was an opportunity to "come into the light and be championed". "The vibe is just going to be impeccable, I know it."

Preston North End fans knit giant scarf for community project
A 200m (656ft) long scarf has been created by supporters of Preston North End football club in a project designed "to bring people together". The Preston North End muffler has been hand-knitted by members of the local Lancashire community. About 800 sections of the scarf were individually created before being stitched together by volunteers and unveiled at Deepdale design was based on a scarf created in 1964, which celebrated the Lilywhites' run to the FA Cup final of that year. The scarf will be handed to the National Football Museum in Manchester and given to local charities to be made in blankets. In partnership with the National Football Museum, the football club distributed bundles of navy and white wool and knitting needles around the city for fans to knit their own were distributed to local libraries and "knit and natter" groups. Michael Barrett, co-ordinator for Preston North End's Invincibles Heritage Project said "a wonderful group of volunteers" worked incredibly hard to sew it all Broughton, participation producer at the National Football Museum, said: "The whole project was all about bringing people together, getting people to try something new and getting everyone to feel their connection to the town and to the club's history."The club is such an integral part of Preston's history and the most important thing was seeing people feel part of this community."Of the original 1964 design, Ms Broughton said: "We don't see scarves like that any more. "A lot of them are made by machines and then put into shops so it was a really good way of us being creative and having a little nod to the past."The club is also appealing to supporters to knit full scarves to be donated to the Foxton charity, which runs shelters for rough sleepers and women and youth services across Preston.
