"Dress" (Japanese: ドレス, Hepburn: Doresu) is the seventh single by Japanese rock band Buck-Tick, released on May 21, 1993.[1] The song was written by vocalist Atsushi Sakurai, composed by guitarist Hidehiko Hoshino, and produced by the band themselves. It was the first single released off of their seventh studio album Darker Than Darkness -Style 93-, which was released a month later. It reached number 5 on the Oricon Singles Chart.[2] It is band's fourth best-selling single, with over 171,000 copies sold.[3]

In 2005, the song was remixed and used as the opening theme of the Trinity Blood anime adaptation.[4] This version was released as the band's twenty-third single on April 20, 2005, under the title "Dress (Bloody Trinity Mix)" (ドレス (bloody trinity mix)), and peaked at number 24 on the Oricon chart.[2]
