^^ I was told from the ATL store that it was final sale, so I didn't make any purchases.
I did go over to the Palm Beach store this afternoon (right before closing) and the manager said that the sale dresses would be there until Sunday or something like that. She kept trying to get me to come back tomorrow morning so she could close the store, so I would assume the dresses would be there tomorrow at the min. Whoever I spoke to on the phone earlier in the day was not helpful, but you could probably be more pushy than I was to get info. They had many dresses, mostly small or XS, only one M and one L if I remember correctly: some of the styles include a white sparkly V-neck with cap sleeves(S), red sparkly vneck that Bebe showed on her blog (S), lavendar cap sleeve, deep purple, peach/orange scoopneck, and others that I cannot remember. HTH!

TY! The SA got back to me and assured me it could be refunded. It's the ottoman banding in pink, and I've never tried one of those on before.
Confession - I called every HL store in the US looking for 2 specific dresses (no luck w/ those), and it seems like XS's really are slim pickin's by this point! The first one I purchased was actually still on the mannequin. I caved, since it's still full price everywhere else and is a lovely spring color.
Now I am CUT OFF until summer markdowns!!

Glad to hear that you can get a refund if need be. My SA in SF lets me do returns/refunds too (even on sale items) on charge/sends since I don't have the luxury on actually trying the dresses on in person.
I can't believe you called every boutique! You really need a good SA because when you find a good one, they can do that for you!!!
So, has anyone had any luck with shortening the hem of a faux-banded dress?
I'm just not happy with my white dress. I keep trying it on and I'm SO concerned with several things that just aren't right. I can't wear a bra, it's too low-cut and I feel like my boobs are totally hanging out (and not in a good way because I can't wear a bra), and it's really tight through the torso (but then flares out at the bottom). If I pull it down, it feels a bit more comfortable on top, but then it's too long...
Ugh. I'm really upset over this. I'm pretty much stuck with it at this point and I was really hoping to have the perfect dress. It really is a beautiful dress, but just not comfortable like my other HLs. :cry:

oh, Vhdos! that stinks. I know how much you wanted the white dress too. Is there no way to return it? Its almost better to return it, then potentially botch something especially if its ill fitting on top. If not, Im sure at 70% off there potential to recoup some of it on the bay.
Maybe just leave it alone, and try it back on in a few days. Sometimes after I let things sit for a bit I change my mind one way or another.
GL.

i'm kind of frustrated with the atlanta store right now. they agreed to put a dress on hold for me and later when i called, they said they already sold it. i would have purchased it right then if i knew they weren't really going to hold it because i was waiting to see what else they had. i ended up placing an order for a couple other dresses yesterday and the SA said he'll process my order this morning and didn't call until now to tell me that one of the dresses i ordered just got sold to someone else..
I'm a lil concerned too, I finally got through to them right before closing and they said they'd call me back, which they did about 45 mins after store closing (they really must have been SWAMPED). I placed an order and they took all of my info, and said they'd call me back to confirm; however i havent received any calls since. I guess I'll find out in a week or so!
^ yeah i they think they were too, but i don't feel like it's a good excuse. i feel that they should have been upfront about not being able to hold items and they should have kept their word. the customer shouldn't have to worry about the item being sold to someone else after they've already placed an order for it. the other HL stores i spoke to seemed much better at following up and placing orders. hope everything works out better for you hotstar than it did for me.

Its disheartening.I know, I don't know what to do. It's not that it's ill-fitting on top, but I'm paranoid when I have too much boob showing. I'm not a prude and I like some cleavage, but the low v-neck feels so open - almost like I'm not wearing anything on top. It's a weird feeling with it being so tight through the torso and then so open & cold up top. I keep letting a few days go by and then trying it on again. I'm almost positive that the only boob coverage I'm going to be able to use is nip covers. Any type of bra at all will show somewhere (the sides, the v-neck, even the back would show straps...). I could get over how low-cut it is if I could wear some kind of a bra, but that's probably not going to happen. I'll try it on, take some pics, and post them this weekend. Maybe I'm just being too critical.
