I noticed a comment that was edited out about my bra, so to reply...

I was actually bra-less in the pic, please disregard the peep of nude tank under the dress.. I came straight home from the office and did not want to try it on after a long day without a slip of some sort due to lotion transfer, etc... :amuse:

I didn't even notice the tank ... I guess I was too busy looking at your amazing figure ... pardon me :nuts:
 
BellaShoes, you look HAWT! That color is so lovely on you!

On a separate note, has anybody seen this dress in XXS anywhere? The color is "Pale Haze".

i THINK i saw them in the las vegas Herve Leger over the weekend. It's on 60% sale and there's xxs. I remember I saw it because I tried on and I cannot fit. The las vegas store do shipping and the SA is super sweet.
 
Ack! My dress came at almost the exact moment that my DH was returning from a 6-day vacation!! The kids were SO excited to see him and it was complete chaos. I put the box in the bedroom and had to wait to open it until things settled down. After about 20 minutes, I was able to run in, tear open the box, rip my clothes off, and quickly try on the dress. I only had it on for a brief moment (before the pizza guy arrived with our dinner), but my initial thought was that the XS seemed like an okay fit. It was maybe just a tad bit long and not quite that super-snug feeling that my XXS HL gives, but I think that it's going to be just fine! I will post pics as soon as I can, but they will have to wait a bit because I want to spend some time with my family:)
 
vhdos,

That's how I feel about xs too. For me, I always prefer an xxs too no matter what style, but I have one xs (and it fits ok) just because it was impossible to find in a smaller size. Oh well.
But, yea, the xs is always quite a bit longer than the xxs, and I love my stuff shorter rather than longer! :D
And, I wouldn't dare cut that nylon material.

I can't wait to see pics. I'm sure it's beautiful.
 
Okay, alterations questions. I was told by my SA that hemming is easy since the dresses are literally bands of material sewn together. I thought that I might want to hem the bottom of my new cap-sleeve dress. I looked on the inside and I noticed the zipper actually goes into the last bandage, so they wouldn't be able to hem there. Has anyone hemmed the bottom of their dress and can you tell me how/where the hem was made? Thanks!
 
Bella I'm here!!!

here is my altered size medium HL dress, this pic was taken before we went out and sadly throughout the night it kept getting bigger bigger :shucks:. My alteration lady swore she took it in as much as she could, but I think I'm going to have to suck it up and dish out the big bucks and go see the HL Boutique referred alteration lady.
until then, here it is with my CL multi glitter titis!

hi dezy, you look so great with this dress, mine just arrived today and i usually wear a size Medium as well in HL but this one is too BIG and loose for under the bust part (upper tummy part) arghh.. and where i live they dont have the alteration ppl for HL so i have decided return this and exchange into small size.

i have a question though ladies, is this dress on the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350203223460&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT run as big as the black and white dress or it runs as the normal HL? please do let me know because i am thinkin to buy this dress. thank you very2 much ladies.

 
Okay, horrible pictures here, but I have been so busy! I wanted to at least post some on here while I had the chance. The overall fit is good, feels snug, etc., but I'm a little concerned about the cap sleeves and the length of the dress. I think that the cap sleeves can easily be made to be a little more snug because there is a band at the back of each cap sleeve that could be shortened. In fact, I'm a little miffed because the stitching on one of the bands (attached to the cap sleeve) is already coming loose. I'd return the dress, but if I'm going to have alterations there, I might as well keep it. My biggest concern is the length. Kenneth said that the dresses are very easy to shorten, but the zipper runs into the last band, so I'm not sure where they could hem?
