A band box is what they used to call a hat box. One for particularly delicate hats and accessories. So anything that came straight out of a "band box" was fresh and perfect and brand new. Over time the phrase morphed into meaning a very snappy, meticulous dresser.

So it means you're wearing a complete outfit that looks just perfect, as if the outfit were fresh from the "band box" from the store.

My mother was born in 1911, and "Your foot in a bandbox", according to her, meant someone was telling a lie.
