That's a bummer
I would definitely be upset if a dress I had on "hold" was sold to someone else. I'm sorry that happened to you.

^ thanks vhdos. i think im more upset at the fact that a dress i actually ordered ended up being sold to someone else too. at this point, i'm considering just cancelling my whole order since it's taking forever for them to get back to me on it and by the time they do, the rest of my stuff will probably be gone too. btw i spoke with kenneth at the SF store yesterday and he was very nice.
HelloKitty: What?! They sold a dress you had on hold AND one you had already ordered!? That's awful. I'm so sorry!
Vhdos, I'm sorry to hear that your dress isn't working out. I'm trying to think of the name of an adhesive bra thingie (not NuBra, it's not supposed to show) I bought ages upon ages ago -- Once I find it I'll either post or PM you... Maybe it would help.
Ladies, my heather grey, lurex-trimmed V-neck dress came in (http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...i_src=14110944&ci_sku=ParentItem0450380949862), and I'm not quite sure if I should keep it. I love the color, love the length, but since I got a size larger than I normally do (the SA at the boutique mentioned that a lot of girls were sizing up in the style), I'm just not quite sure it's doing its HL thing, i.e. enhancing curves. Thoughts? I'll try to post a modeling pic when I get home.

i had to try my hardest to avoid the major sales i hardly get a chance to wear my lonely 2 HLs as it is.
i hardly get a chance to wear my lonely 2 HLs as it is. i'm the same height/weight as you and my HLs are XS. all the sizing i read says xxs but i don't see those as fitting, or at least comfortably. i guess it's just best to try them on.
I got mine today too, and im not sure of them either! ugh!
The small zips up very easily...but the top is fairly loose and the (cap)sleeves fit loose which makes it hang kinda low and imo it looks like its not sitting in the right place. It also gives me what looks like a little tail, where the zipper pokes out at my bum (instead of laying flat it just kinda juts out).
The xs my dbf had to shove and squeeze me in but the dress felt like it way laying in the right places. The top felt way better, and the zipper layed better but it was tight. like a sausage. heehee. Also the area under my armpits seemed to bunch up a bit instead of laying smooth against my skin, so i dont know what that means.
Its my time of the month, and I just had a gigantic carb filled pasta dinner so Im going to put them both away and try again next week.
Also, I didnt have anything on underneath (spanx, bra, etc) so maybe that would help next time.

Sara, sounds like you're an XS & not an S. The dress shouldn't be ducktailing at the hem...
vhdos, sorry about your dress! Would like to see pictures before making any comments other than that it's not unusual to not be able to wear a bra underneath it. A whole bunch of us either went braless or nubra-ed for the Fall08 collection.
Hellokitty, sorry about your experience! ATL made it clear to me tgat dresses couldn't be put on hold but Dula managed to save my order even though the bulk of our communication was over email. He did follow up with me as well abt billing my card & shipping schedule quite quickly too.

thanks for the sympathy ladies. sarasmith, that's a shame about the fit. hopefully the xs will feel better later. i ended up purchasing the small from the sf boutique. im kinda worried that it wont fit and it's a final sale.
hellokitty, sorry about your experience...
I know they were really busy but that's no excuse!
lilflobowl, I'm glad that Dula took good care of you.
yea... since I go to the store, I can tell you what really happens about the "hold" thing. They will put the dress into the back room for you for a limited time duration (1-2)days. However, if someone comes in requesting that dress that moment, they will sell it just because they're afraid that the original holder may change their mind.
So, it's like a pseudo hold....

i went to paramus in nj but the dresses were only 40% to 60% off. they had LOTS left but i was hoping it would be 70%.
eh! i wonder why they are not at 70% off yet?? i was planning on stopping in there today.. Although i was able to scoop the black front zip skirt from bergdorfs for $162 =) Does anyone have that skirt? i am wondering if i can change it up and wear the zip in the back as well...
Aaaah all these sales!! I have gotten it in my head that I NEED - for $600 or less ::crossing fingers:: - this cap sleeve, criss cross bodice dress in red (maybe a shorter version, I think I have seen one of those).
PLEASE anyone let me know if you see that dress in an M or S!! I have absolutely zero access to HL here! Sadface! I would super appreciate it, though, if anyone sees this dress, especially on sale!

^ that's a beautiful dress. i've been looking for that same one in magenta/purple but it's sold out everywhere. i haven't seen the red one on sale anywhere yet, but it is listed on a couple sites at full price.

That's just plain lying, and they should just be honest about it in the first place and say they can't hold things on sale. :S
Btw, do you know when the next sale is? I love your blog!
