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?

Hi ladies! So I hung out with my friend the other day who just recently bought this HL dress. She is very tiny with a small chest, but in the recent styles normally wears an XS like me. She let me try on the dress and let me just say my 34D chest was no where close to fitting into it!! We finally got it zipped but it pushed all of my boob out of the top of the dress! Anyways I just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case you are interested in this style...I would highly recommend trying it on first!!

Thanks for the tip! I love that dress but now I know not to even bother with it.

^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.

hahaha, I've had mine zip a couple dresses for me and he's like "OMG this is so tight!"

I agree, that yes, the dress looks fabulous on you:smile1: However, I am not a fan of the fringe, so for me, I would say return it.

I agree about the fringe. I don't think it looks like it belongs there. The dress without it is STUNNING on your figure though! Just seems like the fringe is too much, but that's just my opinion.

haha, yeah, the first few times my guy zipped up my dresses he was all like...are you sure i'm not going to rip this? is this dress supposed to be this tight?! but now he is a champ.

re: the fringe -- the boy doesn't love it either. it was kind of pricey (around $700), so maybe i'll return it. i have to think on it. i'll try to get a photo of the back too...

My dresses are tight, but I can zip them all myself. I've got it down to a system where I use my right hand to pull together a small section of zipper and then pull up the zipper with my left hand. I just keep doing that same process all the way up until it's completely zipped. The only trouble I sometimes have is hooking those hook closures at the tops of the zippers.
