This absolutely stunning dress also offers a whimsy personality as it’s not just one color but instead blends four colors together. The mini [bandage dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-by-miraclesuit) starts as a deep pink then shifts to purple to a dark blue and then finally to different shades of light blue. Also, instead of being completely skin tight as most bandage gowns are, this one flares out a bit at the base, giving it a carefree tone. The one shoulder look gives the dress extra sophistication. While you wouldn’t want to steal attention from the bride if you wear this to a wedding, you’ll still be one of the best dressed guests in attendance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ombre Fashion Trend:** There is an opportunity to create new ombre fashion designs that blend multiple colors together in unique ways. - **Non-traditional Bandage Dress:** This ombre dress with a flared base presents an opportunity to create non-traditional styles for bandage dresses. - **One-shoulder Dress:** One-shoulder dresses could become more popular due to the extra sophistication they bring, as seen in this ombre dress. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion designers and retailers can utilize the ombre trend and incorporate it into their designs, especially for formal wear. - **Event Planning Industry:** Event planners can make recommendations to clients looking for unique wedding or prom attire with a non-traditional twist. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers selling formal wear can consider adding non-traditional options like this ombre dress with a flared base to their inventory. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Influencer-Created Bridesmaid Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridesmaid-dress.md) - [Autumn Occasion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-fall-dresses.md) - [Leopard Mini Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leopard-mini-dresses.md) - [Inclusive Prom Dress Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prom-collection.md) - [Summer Bridal Guest-Of Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-guestof-collection.md) - [Bohemian Wedding Ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-people-2.md) - [Social Good Prairie Dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gwen-dress.md) - [Yellow Fit-and-Flare Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-fitandflare-dresses.md) - [Comfort-Focused Bridal Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearly-mini-dress.md)
