vhdos, you look gorgeous!! I hope the Raquel gives a little for you over time, but even it doesn't... haha the pain might be worth the gain.

kitty89, thanks for the links, but ugh! I hate how Outnet re-directs you to the front page when the item sells out. I would love to stalk your finds. This is more of a deal than a steal, but I did notice that nordstrom has exactly on HL sale item left. Still $1k, but better than $1.7...

^The dress probably will be long on you, bougainviller, but I wouldn't recommend sizing down because while the length might be better, the overall fit might not work. You could always check with an experienced tailor about shortening the dress.

Hmm that's what I'm wondering about. Thanks vhdos!!! So as experienced in HL as you are, do they stretch lengthwise when you wear them? I mean, they measured as 90cm flat, will it be the same when put on?

^Well, not exactly sure what you're asking, but I suppose since your body "fills in" the dress (and therefore, stretches the fabric), the length might come up a bit. I've never measured a dress length lying flat and then measured it again while I'm wearing it, so I can't say for certain. Lots of ladies have had success having their dresses professionally shortened though.

did anyone get any goodies from today's Outnet sale? I haven't bought/worn an HL in a while, I ordered a lemon yellow and a navy simple tank and a brown skirt, tho I have a feeling they'll be heading back as I had a baby six weeks ago! Figured the dresses would inspire me to lose the weight but we'll see!

Oh no, no links is no good! This presents a new challenge for me....how to attach files to a post...huge apologies if this goes horribly wrong! For those interested in my bargain-hunting capabilities, the top one was about $650 and the lower one around $550 - both are still available on the outnet international site.

Okay. I finally got my black HL Raquel zipped all the way up - thanks to the help of my hubby:p The boob area is SO tight on me. I'm actually sitting here in my dress, as I type, in an effort to stretch it out. I don't mind a little cleavage, but this seems ridiculous...

Vhdos,

Wow I think it looks great on you from the pciture, but of course only you know how tight it is. I hope it gives a bit, what does you Hubby think?!

^My DH likes it. I was worried that my boobs were popping out of the top, but he said that the dress looked great (go figure).
I was thinking that maybe I could wear the dress around the house with a padded bra underneath (I normally don't wear a bra with my HL dresses or I wear the NuBra sticky cups) for a little extra stretch up top. It's the same concept as wearing a new pair of CL heels around the house with socks on in an effort to stretch out a tight toe box:p

I didn't get anything from the sale (I really need to stop buying these dresses, so I refrained), but I do have that last one from a previous sale, and I love it! Great price, too.

I think you look great! I don't think it's too much cleavage, but maybe that's just me ;) That said, I do have one dress that's really tight in the bust and it's let up a little...still difficult to breathe, though. (It's a straight-across neckline.)
