Ahh ok thanks ladies... I tried on a few dresses in person and realized that it is possible to wear a bra under!! I would have to anyways, otherwise my boobs would be completely squished and look like I have none lol. Also found out I'm an xs... They look soooo good on!!

Thanks to bebe fuzz, I just officially bought
My first Hl dress! So excited! I'm sure this will be my next obsession just like my shoes
It's just like Pringles, once I start I just can't stop!Looks great! I have a Wedding in August that I need a wedding friendly one for. Is the rosette assymmetric from fall 2008 wedding appropriate? It looks so lady like
Thank you jamidee.
I think I know the dress your referring to and I believe it could be wedding friendly. Keep in mind that 2008 dresses run small. I wear either XXS or XS in HL but in 2008 I wear an S.
Check out these links for more help. It is very informative and the home of great deals on HL!

I am always a day late and a dollar short! Congrats on your new HL. Pics please! Nice to see you around these parts too.
Thanks so much!! I guess it wouldn't work then... I think I'm an xs/s in HL.. and so an XS in that dress would be too small.
nice to see you too! I'll post pics once I get it and get into it. Now I need the perfect shoes for it. It's the monique strapless dress... I just got some new Hot Pink VP.. but, the nude in the dress throws me off. Makes me think I should just wear nude.
I think both shoe options are viable but I'm more prone to throw in some color. My first choice would be the hot pink shoes. In anycase, show us both options and all the folks here will chip in to get the perfect look.
As for the 2008 dress, it's most likely too small. You could always try. I had to try for myself because that's me. I was depressed I couldn't get it to zip up. I felt better when bebefuzz informed me they run small. I thought all that working out was not paying off!
Yay! My first HL just got here! I've been lurking on this thread for quite some time now 
I ordered both XS and S because I wasn't sure of the sizing... I think the XS fits better..
I'm not even going to post how the S looks on me.. although I could probably breathe more in the S, I'm only 5'1 so the bottom wasn't tight around my legs.. and I didn't like the length ...
Keeping the XS and returning the S or passing it along to a friend

ladies, i need your help!
so i purchased an HL off of ebay (it was a celeb charity auction), and i just picked it up today. the auction stated that there was some stitching coming apart on the back shoulder -- not a problem, since i have an excellent tailor, but i opened the dress and there's a huge what-looks-like-a water stain on the left thigh. it's not super noticeable but it wasn't in the description and i did pay a decent amount for the dress. i contacted the seller and i will see if they can perhaps offer a partial refund (and if they don't, i may just write the lost money off as charity, since it's for charity anyway), but i want to know if you girls have any ideas on how to get a water stain out. i'm wary of the traditional ways (iron/steam) because i don't want to make the stain more noticeable.
thoughts?
edit: here's a photo of the dress -- (i know my boobs are about to attack you but don't worry...if i squish them around it looks less...uh...intense. also, excuse the mess -- just got back from argentina)

You look great! I wish my boobs would look like that in a dress =( Did it happen to be from the Amber Rose auction?
thanks! yeah, it was from the amber rose auction. on the one hand i had no desire to own anything of hers (let's face it...she doesn't seem like the type who takes excellent care of her clothing), but on the other i have been looking for this dress forever.

Wow, the dress looks great on you! If I wore one of the zip-front dresses I'd look like a ten-year old playing dress-up, but yours looks incredible!
Honestly, even though it's a product with an undisclosed defect, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable asking for a refund from money that's going to charity. If you are sure it will come from the seller or ebay, then perhaps, but I think in situations like this, it seems more likely to be subtracted from the charity's total. I could be wrong - I don't know much about ebay - but that would be my initial reaction.
So, if I were in your position, I'd take the dress to the best dry cleaner you can find and pray for the best! Or, if you'd prefer to go down the partial refund route, perhaps first of all check with the dry cleaners whether it will be removable, get a quote, and just ask to be refunded the cost of the clean. Good luck!
