Lilmissb, you don't have a hautelook account?

lilmissb · Mar 9th, 2009, 09:56 PM

^I created one but it's a couple of days before payday and bonus comes in at the end of the month so I'm kinda torn about looking at what they'll have. I should restrain myself and be good really! It might be better not to know. I wish I had a credit card right now but I promised myself that I would go 4 years without one before I could apply for one again. That expires at the end of this year! It's actually really good for me as I'll have every bit of debt paid off by the end of the year (apart from the unit - yay!). I know P cannot find anymore smalls in 39 but he might be able to find S in 40 so I'm kinda wondering what to do. With the extra 20% though it'll take prices down even more.....

Well... If it's only a couple of days difference will dbf be ok to help? Considering dressing up is for his eyes!

Not to rain on your parade, but I noticed you're in Australia, and Hautelook only ships to Canada and the US.

dreamdoll · Mar 9th, 2009, 11:51 PM

I think Hautelook can ship to a forwarder in the US?

Thanks everyone for all the advice.

^ nubra will help i think.

I wear a XS and I usually wear a 0 or 2 depending on brand for dresses. And it really depends on the dress...some of them are looser on top...like the fall 08 #42 dress...but other dresses like the ombre off shoulder dress is pretty tight up top..so you wouldn't need to worry about the fit on top if the dress is more higher cut up top imo.

Hya_been, some of our local postal services have tie ups in the US so as long as international credit cards are accepted it's fine

sure - although beware they apparently take a long long time to ship like 3 weeks so it'd be a while before it'd get to you, but sooo worth it!!

Hi Ladies - I need some sizing advice. I'm looking to buy an HL dress, but it seems like a lot of people on this thread think that the bandage dresses run a little big. I'm 5'0" and about 88 lbs. I usually wear size 00 and xxs. Will an xxs in the bandage dress fit me or will it still be too loose? TIA!

Lec8504 · Mar 10th, 2009, 12:20 AM

^ i think lvpiggy is almost exactly the same height and weight as you...and she fits a xxs perfectly. Check out the pic reference thread and you can see if your porportions is like her.

hya_been · Mar 10th, 2009, 12:20 AM

there's a sizing chart a couple of pages back that might help

Anyway..it's a medium and it zipped up soooo easily and kind of gaps a bit around the belly.
But, I love it-what should I do? Keep it or try to find a small?
Piggy I need your help so please put down your arms for a moment

Ok...keep or size down?
TIA!
Ohh..and thought this cute yellow shrug might look nice..???

honestly, i think it looks quite nice! you might not even like the way the small looks - especially given my experience with the colourblocked tank style! not sure if most of the ladies here know this, but my ash colourblock is actually an XS . . . . they didn't have the XXS when i was buying it and since it was on sale i settled for the XS instead . . . later, someone returned the XXS when it was on second cut so i tried it on again, but then it actually didn't look as good as the XS for some reason

now, where did i put down those arms . . . . almost time to get them out again for tomorrow morning!!
