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!

yeah, i am thinking that at the end of the day i can just write the money off as going to charity, since i would be fine with donating the money directly to charity without the dress. i am mainly concerned with how to clean it...i'm thinking of taking it to a dry cleaner to see what they can do -- anyone got a rec for a good cleaner in the bay area that won't ruin herve dresses? melody i'm looking at you, haha

so, update -- the seller offered a partial refund of about 20%, which makes the dress an excellent deal for a holy grail dress, so i accepted it.

still looking for bay area recommended cleaners!

in other news, the outnet has a ton of HL's on extra 30% off sale for the weekend

No they just marked down the second set of summer dresses. Before they were only 40 percent .off. I assure you they weren't 60 percent till like yesterday because I tried to buy them like two Weeks ago but they were only 40 off. I'm surpassed you didn't get the email about it.

Melody kindly emailed it to me beginning of this month which was immediately publicized. Not all boutiques get 60% off at the same time. I know some of the stores are MUCH slower. Lots of girls have gotten dresses weeks ago at 60% off.

When I went to the ATL boutique 2 weeks ago, half of their sale dresses were 60% off as well.

Ok it was melody that told me this so I'm not sure what's going on then. I did get a dress Weeks ago at 60 percent off. I was under the impression that certain styles that got marked down from full price to 40 off a few Weeks ago (additional styles besides the ones from April) were now 60off.

I know that once the 60% off sale starts, they slowly add more markdown dresses from the 40% off dresses to that category. The 60% off category has been growing to include more dresses over the last month, so maybe we are talking about the same thing. :)

ok... we are talking about the same thing, just internet communication error. lol...

I meant that 60% off started off a long time ago. You meant that there were new dresses added to the 60% off category. ooops.

Yay! My first HL just got here! I've been lurking on this thread for quite some time now :p 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)
