HL tops seem quite unruly. I'm a little bit taller than you (only about two inches), but still found both of the tops I've tried on too long - the bunching around the stomach also gets old FAST. I didn't purchase/keep either of them because of this. Please do let us know if the tank style works better - I really love the idea of an HL top with jeans and sky-high heels, so would be very happy to hear that some styles are more manageable than others.
I must, however, regretfully confess that I've never had problems squishing my boobs into anything...
good luck with your new top!Well, I got my sale dress today, but I can't post pics because I literally can't zip it up - not because it's super-skin tight, but because the back zipper goes all the way up to the base of my neck. At least that's what I'm hoping... I'm hoping that it actually fits over my bust. I think once I get it zipped, it will be fine, but I'll have to squish the "girls" downIt's the black Raquel and I love the style. It's the perfect LBD and it will be fun to add pops of color with shoes, bags, etc.
Hi vhdos,
Did your new dress end up fitting? I just realized I'd ripped the armhole/sleeve on mine, I think it was from trying to pick up my toddler when we got home from our evening out. Is it normal to have trouble raising your arms over your head in the Raquel?. I'm wondering if I got it a size too small. Thanks
^To be honest, I haven't even zipped it up all the way yet, so I'm not sure about raising my arms. I just figured that the fit was fine because it fit like a glove, but I couldn't reach to get the zipper all the way up to the top (not because it didn't fit, but because it was just awkward arm placement). Now you've got me nervous...
I'm sure it will fit you beautifully. I'm new to HL and had no idea what size to order. I love the fit around the hips and waist, the bust and armholes were tight once the hooks were done up but still looked good. I think it was just a dumb idea for me to carry a wriggly toddler in it. Would love to hear how yours fits when you get the chance..
Hi gals.. Looking for advice.
I found several HL at a resale shop in Beverly hills and loved them. There were some w tags still attached for $300-$350
My question is whether $350 is a good price for preowned w no defects. The one I love is black with the gold HL plates on each side of the dress.

I would say $350 is an awesome price for a pre-owned dress with no defects, especially if it has hardware (I'm not sure, but it sounds like you're talking about the Mackenzie dress). Less than $300 is getting into holy crap territory, haha.
has anyone been to a BCBG outlet lately? I just went this past weekend (the one at the Waikele outlets in Hawaii) and some of the few HL dresses were additional 50% off
Most were below $500
There was a peach colored dress for about $250! But it was an XS and I'm more like a S

Yes, I consider anything around $400 to be a good deal. I'm assuming that with tags still attached, that meant that the dresses have never been worn? In that case, $300 for an unworn dress is a steal! Are you certain that they are authentic? At that price, I would be concerned about authenticity.

Good advice... You know I didn't look into authenticity because the store carries tons of labels, you literally go through racks and racks of YSL, missoni, DVF, Givenchy etc so i didn't even get that far. I will go back and snap a few pics. Mine didn't have tags attached but had no hint of having been worn, it probably was worn a couple of times. I don't really have anywhere to wear it to but I have been craving one LoL
. I did find a killer pair of YSL shoes and DVF dresses for $40 and one Missoni dress for $75

Wow you are good!! I believe it is a Mackenzie dress, though it looks a bit different then the pics I've seen the hardware has the HL initials...
Thanks for your advice you guys are awesome !!
^I figured you'd know, bebe
By the way, do you own the black tank in my link above?
It is the same one. I personally like tops that are a little bit longer, so for me, it's perfect. For those, who don't like longer shirts, it may be a problem. The top runs half size small to tts in my opinion. Have not had any rolling issues. Hope that helps!
