HL Beauties I need your help. I just purchased this dress in a medium, which was the only size available. Do you think it will work? My measurements are 32D(bra fitting lady told me I'm not the 34C I had been wearing), 26 waist, and 36.5 hips. I'm thinking that becuase of the style of the dress, more of an a-line cut than HL's typical bondage cuts, that this will work. What do you think?

Also, I am 5'9" do you think its too short. I think the model is probably 5'9" or 5'10" too.

Based on your measurements, I would say you are closer to an XS or maybe an S depending on how tight the bust area is. However, I don't know how the a-line dresses look -- I imagine that it will only really matter up top, and since you have a larger chest an M might work for you. I think you'll really have to wait and try it on to see how it works out...can you return it if it doesn't fit?

^It might work, but I'm guessing that a M is going to be too big. I'm a 34C (or 32D in some bras), 24" waist, 34" hips and I'm an XXS in HL. A S is probably more your size (or maybe even XS).

Thanks for your advice. I'm kind of kicking myself because I actually fell in love with this dress about 6 months ago and kept thinking I would get it on sale. This is the first time I have seen it on sale and all the stores only have mediums, if anything left. Yes, fortunately I can return it if it doesn't work. Fingers crossed though.

Thanks, this would be my first HL dress. I guess if it doesn't fit its not meant to me. Trying to console myself. lol On the plus side I had ordered the skirt to it in a S from the recent Shopbop event so at least I will have something like it, and I'll probably get more wear out of the skirt anyway.

Well, I hope it works out! For comparison's sake, my measurements are 34DD - 26 - 38, and I wear an S. So in most styles you would likely be an XS. But like I said, maybe this style will be different because of the skirt. Fingers crossed!!

Vintage sizing varies, but in general, the older the dress, the smaller it runs compared to modern HLs.

Do you have measurements for the dress? If not, does the tag have a US size on it too? Is it HL couture or HL Paris? There's more than one type of tag for Herve Leger Paris, so the more detail you provide, the better.
