^ I was just lamenting over the same thing with my newest HL purchase. It just wasn't as tight as I thought it should be. But it is authentic. The Outnet is a very reputable online merchant, it is highly doubtful that you would be sent a fake (unless someone returned a fake one after purchasing the real one). Post actual pics of the dress, full front and back, close up with no flash on macro setting of the inside tag, straps, fabrication tag, and any other tags. Also close ups of the zipper.
