Oops sorry! :flowers: I accidently posted that before I had the chance to finish writing everything.

I won the auction below on ebay. Since I had 2 of those dress in a different color/size. I thought I would know what the real deal is. The seller had sent some pictures of the dress taken with her camera. All the pictures listed in the album below are from my camera.

The seller bought the dress a few weeks before from another seller on ebay. Now I am thinking this dress might not be authentic. My reasons are listed below. I'm no sure if my seller knows she had purchased a (maybe)counterfeit HL.. (sigh so much to tell but I will save it, if this dress is fake for the eBay side.)

Please compare the pictures from this ebay HL lilac dress to the authentic HL coral poppy dress. Is my eye playing tricks on me? With the liliac dress everything looks great on the outside, except when I turn the dress inside out...

-The seams and the stitching around the fabric looks a bit off.
-There are some loose threads.
-The hook & eye closure is sewn on backwards!
-The right shoulder has an open seam on the inside as shown in the pictures. It looks like someone took a sewing needle and sewn up that area on both sides. You can't tell in the pictures but in the naked eye you can see it.
-Some areas of the lilac dress, the bandage is flapping/lifting. While the coral poppy dress is flat,
-On the coral poppy dress all the seams are sewn up tight. There are no loose stitching comapred to the lilac dress.

rnsmelody, Haha I see now! :)

That lavender dress does look fake to me. :( But gosh, I really don't know. I'm trying to find pics of a fake version of that dress on ioffer, but I can't seem to. That's how I usually know for sure. Particularly by counting the bands on the dress - the fakes always seem to get that wrong. Here, there is clearly a disparity in the bands, and the stitching looks awful. But also, the hanging straps are dead on. Sorry I'm really no help for sure either way until I find the fake version of that. :(

LOL! WE do the same thing!! I always go on the fake HL sites to check on the styles to make sure I don't bid/buy any of them. I haven't found a falsie of this style. I am so stumped also. Unless it's real but poorly made. If you view the pictures of the arm seams at around 100% You can clearly see the double threads holding all of it together on both sides. The area around the cleavage on the inside. All the seams are wrinkled compared to the coral poppy which is straight and flat. oHHH the top shoulder caps of the lilac dress doesn't connect at the armpits but it does in my coral poppy & black dress!!
