btw, i wore my strapless one to a friend's wedding recently, and i kept pulling it up all day, feeling insecure since we had to walk around outside for photo shoot and stuff, so by the end of photo shoot, i was fed up, and end up hand stitched the dress to my bra when we got back to hotel so i could have a more peaceful reception hahahha =p
kitty89 said:Hi ladies....disappointed to update that all three of my outnet purchases will be on their way back soon. I really loved the purple one, but there was no getting around it: it's just one size too big for me. I thought about altering it, but I feel like it would be a little silly - it's not really "alteration" that I need, it's a different sized dress! This is the third time that I've sized up because a dress supposedly ran "small to size", and I'm officially done with that. From now on, I buy ONLY my own size!!
I also discovered that I don't really think A-line HL is for me. The black dress was kinda fun, but I really don't see when I'd wear it, and I'd rather not spend £600 on "kinda fun".
The skirt....I hated.
So, still waiting for my next purchase!
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hate it when they don't fit. Just a word of caution though, I did have to send back some dresses that were supposedly small to size and I got my usual XS anyway instead of S. it's just safer to only order the ones that are TTS :0(

I like the dress on you! I was actually eyeing the same one :0P I think with the right necklace and shoes it could be a show stopper.
I have a strapless one and it doesn't slide down. Wore it to a wedding once and with all the moving around, dancing and eating it stayed put. I do have problems with strapless dresses sliding down cos I'm very flat on top but not the HL one. I think as long as the top is snug on you it shouldn't be a problem
^Thanks for your opinions, but a shadow on a cell phone picture is not really something that I am concerned about
I think you're missing the point. Lighting is a variable thing. But then again, perhaps an outline of your pelvic region doesn't bother you like it would me. As I also commented, I don't care for the lack of style in this dress. I think you could do better all round.
I would have to agree with TazMonkey. The fit is way too tight for the pelvic area to the point it looks uncomfortable and awkward. Find something that doesn't fit so tight or have the dress altered.
What a beautiful lilac pink colour!
Is that from the winter collections or a preview of next summer??
Hi Cullinan, This dress is from the Pre-Fall collection
It's really beautiful IRL!
Hi Cullinan, This dress is from the Pre-Fall collection
It's like dusky lilac - I love it..
Enjoy wearing it - I wish I had one!!
Anyways, the dress is actually one size larger than my normal size and has plenty of room (the fabric around the top portion of the dress actually bunches up a bit if I don't pull it down all the way). I purchased a larger size to accommodate my bust (I didn't want the strapless style to squish me up top).
Maybe next time, I should put more time and effort into taking pictures. It seems like the bad images have generated some confusion, which is my fault. Maybe I'll try to take a few more pics because I truly do appreciate the opinions - especially when I am undecided about something.

No, not missing the point at all
I completely agree with you that lighting changes, but you're reading too much into a random shadow that would not occur in normal circumstances. I can appreciate your opinions, but I don't agree that there is anything going on in my "pelvic" area
For what it's worth, I'm still undecided about the dress (partly because of the lack of style that you have also referred to). I think that with the right accessories, the dress could look stunning. However, I'm not sure that I really need another HL right now. I have a formal event coming up, but I have already purchased another dress for that (not HL). I only purchased it because it was such a great deal - it was $400 and it currently retails on the Neiman Marcus web site for over $1000.

Okay, this really doesn't look too tight. The fit is just fine, not sure what other people are seeing here...

I think this is a lovely addition to your collection. I *believe* this is your first strapless? I say keep. Really highlights your beautiful shoulders.
For those of you concerned with strapless slipping. Personally, I have 2 strapless: Monique and black and white Gisele. No tugging or worries from my experience.
HhhmmmI have to say, that there seems to be some strange similarities between the two accounts "TazMonkey" & "KnoTheGirl" - kinda' makes me wonder if they are one in the same. Maybe just an odd coincidence
I have no idea who KnoTheGirl is; please don't imply that rules are being broken when it isn't true.
Also, qtcoco posted that she's had the same shadows. Another coincidence?
