are you talking about the outnet? if so it comes from the nyc area.

Opps yes. :p Thanks! Im in PA so hopefully they come in time.


I just ordered 3 dresses, hope I like atleast one of them. The last time I ordered I had never tried them on before and ordered the medium, which was too large. I went for the smalls this time so fingers crossed!
 
got to try on my 2 sale dresses today. both are super tight in the chest. they fit perfect otherwise. my bf has to zip them up lol. any idea what i can do to make them more wearable? will they stretch? i can breathe but i wonder if i'm going to break them. i'm obviously screwed since they're final sale. the rebecca is gorgeous though. no pics because i would have to ask my bf to zip them and then take pics (awkward lol).
 
^Not sure what's awkward about a BF zipping and snapping a couple of pics:shrugs:
Anyways, my experience with HL (and I think that I have about 12 HLs now) is that if they don't fit, then they don't fit. There is no "stretching" that will make them fit better. You could always try and sell them. Sorry OP. I know how it feels. I have ordered every HL of mine online and it's hit or miss.

probably not going to stretch :( It kinda zaps itself back into shape after you store it ... but Herve Leger typically doesn't rip either even if it's really tight. Although it sometimes does around the armhole if it's an off shoulder.
 
Does anyone know when the second cut is for the HL boutique sale?

The sales associates at HL may get a heads up 2 days (max) beforehand, but BCBG doesn't even let their stores know as they consider it to be top secret. It has always differed somewhat in the past few years. Most recently, it has taken the stores MUCH longer to initiate the final markdown.

I emailed the SA (melody, who is awesome) and she reassured me that it takes a lot for it to rip and it will mold more to my body after 20-30 mins of wear. i think i can make them work, or i hope.

because i hate taking pics of myself and it's even worse to have someone else take them.
 
^I had a dress that was too tight in the bust and the center seam started unraveling just from trying it on. My advice would be to just be careful. Best of luck! I do hope that they work for you and I'll be crossing my fingers.:yes:

Hi!

I won't say that HL's "stretch" necessarily, but they settle. Like if they seem tight in certain areas beforehand, after some wear the dresses do adjust to mold better to your particular body. So obviously if the dress is just like sausage casing tight it isn't going to ever work out, but since yours are only in the chest they will settle to become looser with your body heat. My SA told me the same thing about the dresses molding and she was right!

I've found dresses that are tight in the bust WILL stretch in that area. I have two dresses that were super tight in the bust and now when I lay them flat there is a little puckering there. They still look great on, though. Also, I have a v-neck dress and the seam has sort of started unraveling -- like vhdos said -- but not really. I was worried at first when I saw the threads starting to stretch, but I've worn it about 20 times since and nothing has happened...yet.

My dress came today -- sorry for the crappy picture...what do you guys think? I think it'll look better when I have a tan...but really...should I keep it?

LOL yes, exactly what I meant. I refer to it more as "settling" I guess. Kind of like breaking in a pair of jeans ;) BTW I like the dress! I'd keep it :smile1:

I think this dress looks great on you!! You only have the perfect body for all HL!! I love the fringe on the side since it adds a twist to the normal HL. I'd say keep it!!! (only if you LOVE it of course!)
