^I read that too. Sounds about right. Lots of men that I know prefer sexy, but not overly so. I think that even though we obviously love HL (because they can make us look and feel great), there's no denying the fact that HL is sort of in-your-face sexy.
 
On a similar note regarding non-HL bandage garments....has anyone tried a BCBG "power skirt"? I have seen them online a couple of times but never in person - are they really as HL-esque as they look? Examples:

I have one BCBG dress and have tried a couple more, but found the quality a little low considering the price (which is even higher here in London - I think they just switch the $ for a £) but some of these skirts seem like they might be fun, if they're well-made.

Can anyone tell me whether the material is similar to the "true" HL? It surely can't be as good...the green skirt above looks slightly suspicious to me, though I'm not sure why.

Do any of you have or tried on HL Sequined Bandage Dress if so can you advise me, please? Does it run small or is it regular fit? If someone is inbetween sizes is it safe to take the smaller size or better go with bigger size and be safe?

Thank you!

It depends on the style. I don't own any, but I've tried them on. The v-neck sequin dresses fit a little smaller, but the ones that look like this: http://bellemel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HerveLegerSequinDress.jpg fit larger than average.
 
Did anyone read instyle (sept I think) it basically stated 52percent of men donot prefer body con dresses they prefer more fitted but not too tight.
Any thoughts on that?

These articles change so frequently. I just read another article that stated that some of the top clothing items loved by men are: high heels, t-shirt and jeans, white tank with no bra (go figure), yoga pants, and body con dresses.

When I associate with too tight is too small jeans creating muffin tops, or any clothing that is really 1-2 sizes too small for the wearer.
 
Hi all!

Just received my first dress from the outnet! It fits perfectly waist-down (if even a teeny bit loose at the very bottom, though it doesn't flare out a lot or anything), but it is a bit tight on top.

Do any of you know if this particular style runs small on top, or if it's typical HL sizing (thinking current season dresses)? Thanks!

So the same article that said that men love women in a white tank with no bra, also said that they love women in body con dresses??? First of all, yuck. Who even wears a white tank with no bra (in public, I mean)? And secondly, I wouldn't even put a white tank/no bra and body con dresses in the same category of "sexy." One is sleazy (white tank/no bra in public) and one is sexy (body-con dresses), IMO.
But, yeah, I get that what one article might print as sexy, could be completely different from another:smile1:

I have not tried that particular style on. I love the colors though:smile1:

yea. I agree with the white tank thing. I just assumed that this was a "in private, at home" wardrobe piece.
 
Hi ladies! I just bought my first Herve Leger dress from the Dallas boutique at Fashion's Night Out on Thursday (I couldn't say no thanks to the 60% off sale tag and all the free champagne!). It's so beautiful and I am so in love, but now I'm freaking out a little. I wore it the other day and got 4 or 5 drops of water on the skirt from the condensation dripping off my water glass. When it dried, it left spots where the drops were that look lighter than the fabric color (the dress is hot pink). I called the store and asked if this was normal and if dry cleaning would get it out. The girl I spoke to wasn't familiar with that happening but promised me dry cleaning would take care of it. Have any of you ever had issues with water spots and did dry cleaning it get rid of them? Thanks!!!

I've never had water drops on my HL but if it's just water I'm sure it'll come out. Soy sauce, on the other hand, does NOT :0(

This has happened to one of my HLs. Most of my HLs are fine with water (no spots), but one of my HLs is really weird and if I get even one spot of water on it, the spot gets lighter when it dries. So I know this is a weird suggestion, but what I did was just hand wash the dress in cold water (make sure the dress doesn't say "dry clean only" -- if it says "dry clean only" you CANNOT wash it by hand) and lay it on a towel to dry. I did this with my dress (I was freaking out too, my thought was something along the lines like -- "maybe if I make the whole thing wet, it will look like I did it on purpose"), and it dried fine, no spots visible. I caution against dry cleaning, because I do have one dress that had water spilled on it and then the dry cleaning just sealed in the stain. So...that's what I did, but take this as a suggestion only :)
