^I don't care for the long HLs. I think that the bottom of the dresses tend to look a bit awkward (in the way that they hang) due to the thickness of the bandage material. They are just not flattering, IMO.

I've seen someone wearing one, to a ball at university. It looked a little odd; I didn't care for it at all. If you want a long gown at the sort of price those HLs go for, I think you have much better options with other designers.

Hello Ladies :) I am curious what is your opinion on long HL dresses? Do any of you own long HL dresses? Are they comfortable?

Full length bandage Herve Leger doesn't look as nice as shorter Herve. However, the ones with silk or chiffon skirts with bandage on the top can be SOOO gorgeous... but those are ridiculously $$

Hmm. One of the things I love the most is that I never feel like I have to worry about my HL items while I'm wearing them. Of course I would worry about staining the paler items I have, but I always feel like my black stuff is indestructible. One black skirt in particular endured a heavy night in a club - I'm pretty sure about half a bottle of champagne was poured over it cumulatively, and probably a fair amount of gin and tequila too, and I was dancing and prancing around like crazy without a single care about whether my expensive skirt would be okay. The next day it was immaculate. Obviously I took it to the dry cleaner because I knew what it had been through, but if I were less concerned about basic hygiene, I probably could have put it right back on and it would have looked perfect.

When I'm not wearing an HL dress out, I'm probably wearing a silk dress....and ohhhhh boy do I worry about those!! I have certain dresses that I won't even wear to dinner if I know certain clumsy friends of mine will be around - not worth risking it.

Interesting to hear that they're not completely infallible, though. I wonder, do you know whether dry cleaners can easily remove stains from HL garments? I've never had any visible marks on mine....but I'm sure that day will come!

I would be careful about which dry cleaner you choose to take your HLs to...I definitely recommend getting rec's from tailors, high-end boutiques, etc.

I realize you may have thought I said "stains" on my v-necks -- I don't have any stains on any of my HLs, just strains at the v-neck part of the dress.

I am not a huge fan of the full-length banded gowns. However, as Bebefuzz mentioned, the bandage-up-top-with-chiffon-or-silk-at-the-bottom can be really gorgeous. You should definitely try one on if you have the chance. Some of the full-length bandage dresses that are fully beaded (and like, $9000) look nice, but I agree with other posters -- there are many other amazing designer options for full-length gowns at the HL price point.

I have come across a couple of long HL dresses at the BCBG Outlets in S. CA. that were bandage on top and silk on the bottom. For fun, I tried one on and it was stunning! I had no place to wear it, so even at the reduced price I couldn't justify it (unlike my short HLs which are completely justifiable).

Oops, sorry - that's what I get for replying to posts while very sleepy! Or perhaps the notion of 'strains' at the chest area of an HL is so utterly unattainable for me that I couldn't possibly grasp the concept... :D

As for the dry cleaners, yeah, I went crazy trying to find a good one before surrendering my clothes. Luckily after getting a few recommendations I discovered I have a fantastic place just two minutes from my office.

With the interior "bra" straps, I don't think that there is any way that it could fall down. When I said that I felt the need to tug at it, it was more because the overall fit was better when it was pulled up all the way (to avoid any sort of bunching of the material on the sides since the dress is not super-tight):smile1:
