I have a dress that is very similar to this style in red, but it does not do this. It lays perfectly against the skin...
If it was me, I would try to do my own, minor alterations. Is it possible to make a small fold in the dress up at the top of the back of the neck (bringing the material in just slightly) and then putting in a few stitches (that can be easily removed if need be)? If you have long hair, it would cover it. Just a thought. I've done something similar with my HL halter neck straps that "gap" because they are too long for me.
Storage question: So glad to discover this thread for HL fans! I got my first HL dress recently and am not sure how to store it. It seems it would stretch if hung on a hanger like the rest of my dresses. Do you ladies store yours flat? Even so, I am worried of folding the dress to lay flat for fear of creases forming, or indentations forming in the material from the zipper, etc.
I store mine flat, in a box under the bed. If you don't fold them, you shouldn't have any issues with creasing (but if you do have to fold them, perhaps use tissue paper?)

I store mine flat, folded twice, so they're in 1/3 lengths. They're stacked maybe 3-4 on top of each other. I wear some of them once every 2 yrs but never had a problem with creases, even the one dress covered in sequins. I do always dry clean them after each wear though
Thanks liljake! And you have quite a collection...do you stack yours one on top of the other within each box?
Hi vhdos! Hmmm, I got mine from NM online and mine didn't come with any sort of garment bag. It did come wrapped in an HL plastic bag and tissue paper. Being new to HL with no boutiques nearby, I had to do some trial and error online ordering from NM and nordstrom to find the right fit and noticed the ones that were not packed carefully (without tissue paper between the zipper and front of the dress) had permanent indentations from the zipper that showed through the dress on the other side when worn! Which is what led me to ask this question. Thanks!
Yeah, I have one of those big under-bed storage boxes (you can get 'em at Target, etc), and the dresses are stacked on top of each other with tissue paper in between.

Well my friends, I am happy to report that I finally got my REAL "Quinn" and I can't believe I ever thought that horrible fake was the real deal.
This will be my second herve leger dress on sale for $400 originally priced $1500+ so excited since its also brand new with tags and not pre-owned. I feel like it's a really good deal. Size is XS. Sorry if some photos are really blurry
