Sooo, I just got my two herve leger dresses from theoutnet and i'm not sure if I should keep em or not! Can I get some opinions?!?!?!
This ones an xxs and it's not as tight as I thought it would be. The chest areas loose (nothing a bra can't fix!) and it does this weird bunching thing.
This second ones an xs and well, I would rather prefer an xxs but seeing as they don't have it... I like it but it's not tight tight. Again, loose at the chest.

Here's my white dress dilemma:
See how it's cut on the sides (in the armpit/bust area)? It even shows a little "side" boob if I'm not careful. Obviously, the nips are a major problem, which can be fixed by nip covers. It's cut low in the back too, so even if I could find a bra that wouldn't show on the sides, it would need to be a low-back. I also hate the way it flares out a little bit at the bottom hem.
I think that I'm going to take it to my tailor and see if she can tighten up the small side panel (below the armpit) a little bit to eliminate a small gap there. I also liked one posters suggestion of possibly sewing up the V-neck just a little (so that it's still low-cut, but not overly so). I doubt that there is anything I can do about the length and/or flare because it is faux-banded.
What do you ladies think?

The gold one is really loose. Pull it up, maybe? If it isn't much better, then return.

vhdos, first, wow, that dress is stunning on you!! I don't think the cleavage is too much at all. I think it covers you just fine. I understand your feeling immodest, though, and all I can say to that is, have some drinks before you go out and you will care much less! Haha! I'm sure you're much more critical of yourself than others. I think it looks just right. Also, my signature strapless cris-cross dress flares out at the bottom like that too and I also HATE it!! Grrr. Let me know if you find any way to fix it.
Vhdos - You look so hot! I don't really see the problem on the sides...my dress flares out like that too and it drives me crazy! I think mine needs to be hemmed, I'm going to see what I can do about that soon. But I don't think it makes the dress look bad in any way shape or form. Nobody but you would even take that into concern. They would just notice how fantastic you look!
Thank you for your input. DH saw the dress for the first time tonight and he thinks that it looks stunning, but understands my concerns. He is very aware of how other women can be around here (catty & mean). I'm not terribly concerned with that because it is what it is, but I usually take it into consideration.
vhdos, I think the dress looks great but I understand your concerns. Will you be in an air-conditioned environment? If you are, perhaps a shawl could help cover some of the concerns you might have. Your tailor should also be able to provide some good suggestions on how to fix some of the problems you have too.
dirtyaddiction, I would return the gold tube dress because it's loose. Also, because it's beaded all around altering may be kind of tricky. The second dress looks great though!
