Herve Leger = <3 Part Deux!

[vhdos]

Hello,

please tell me I haven't bought a fake hl dress! (wine motivated purchase!). Appreciate your thoughts!

It will be difficult to authenticate because there are no good pictures of the tag. Two things seem very sketchy though. 1. The price was low, so either you got a good deal or you just bought a fake. 2. The seller has a negative feedback for selling a fake HL dress and another neutral feedback for selling a stained HL dress.
You should have requested detailed pics before making your purchase. Hopefully, someone else here will be more helpful in authenticating it for you. There is a thread under "authenticate" specifically for HL dresses. Good luck!

Thanks vhdos,

I have 3 other hl's that are authentic and I will compare tags when the dress arrives. I will ask the seller to send me a pic of the tags, and repost in the authenticate thread.

I'm still debating on wearing an HL to a wedding. In general, I'd say that HLs may not be wedding-appropriate. However, some of it depends on the wedding and the style of the HL dress.
I have a 6:30 wedding to attend and the ceremony and reception are at my Country Club. It is the bride's second marriage and the groom's first. I think that she is wearing a white dress, but I'm not sure how elaborate everything is.
I have the ruby red cap sleeve HL dress that I haven't worn yet. It's knee-length and does show a fair amount of cleavage as most HLs do.
Opinions?

vhdos. i'd wear it. i mean it is knee length which i consider apropriate.

girls, i need help with the sizing: i am a US 6 and i don't know what size to order a skirt: S or M? i don't have super skinny thighs and i don't want to look like a sausage; on the other hand i don't want the skirt to be too lose or long.
what are your sizing experiences concering the sizing in HL skirts?

If i am looking for a specific HL dress from seasons past and want to know if any of you know where i can get my hands on it ....would i post that here? There isnt many HL threads so i wasnt sure where to post it.

TIA

I think my post may have been skipped. I would really appreciate any help on the question above. Thanks!

 

[vhdos]

^How many seasons past? If it's been a while, auction sites (like EBay) might be your best bet.

I posted in the authenticate thread also but recieved no replies. I'm hoping some Herve Leger experts will chime in with their much appreciated opinions!

Try phoning or visiting the Las Vegas Herve Leger Boutique, I think that is the herve leger boutique with more previous seasons dresses and sale stock.

I shorten the HL dress just by 1 bandage and it looks better. I took my chance as the tailor had never seen or altered any HL dress before

I'm 5'7 and it is xsmall. Thanks for letting me share

 

[vhdos]

^Glad to hear it was not a hassle to shorten your dress. I have one that needs to be shortened, but I have been too nervous to take it to my tailor.
You look lovely

 

[amandakmc]

VHDOS - Thank you! You will have to look for a good tailor. when I showed it to her, it seemed that she knew how to do it, she mentioned the material was stretchable so the thread that she used would be stretchable too. She charged me $18, thought was still reasonable.

Vhdos - I think it should be ok. Although if you think that the cleavage is too exposed then opt for something more conservative. I'm going to be wearing a similar dress to an afternoon wedding with evening reception. It's a capped sleeved knee-length HL in lavender. I don't think there's too much exposed cleavage compared to some other HL styles. Is it possible to see a picture of you modeling it then you can have some of the other tpfers opinions.

THANK YOU vhdos & galwaygirl007. I will try that. Ive been stalking ebay for a while and nothing.

Im searching for the PInk ombre dress as pictured below in an xs or small. If anyone comes across one or knows of someone who has one please PM me! Thanks so much !

it looks perfect on you!! thanks for sharing. what do you usually wear; a US 2 or 4?
i know there have been quite some discussion about the sizing, but i am afraid it might be different for skirts.

Yes, I can post pics. It may have to wait though because I am getting ready to go on a short vacation. When I get back, I need to post pics of the two dresses that I'm thinking about wearing and get opinions (one is HL, the other is not). I could use some help on CL shoe choice too!!!
