I was surprised that dress didn&#8217;t fit me in a bigger size. I was sure that tts would be 2 small because of the sequin. I really didn&#8217;t like the wrinkle/fold the dress was creating on the back between sequins and overall fit was loose. It would probably look better if I had bigger breasts hehehe :p

That dark gray dress with the sequins is the same style as my magenta strapless. I sized up and it fits perfect. Maybe the sequin detailing makes it different? It's also been on Outnet recently at a pretty deep discount.
Thanks for the response:smile1:

Ok ladies,
I was at the rack yesterday and I found an Herve. Well maybe I should call it an "Herve" bc it's quite unusual. It had all the tags on it and they were all correctly labeled, but the dress style was SO off. I've never seen an Herve like this...do they eve make these? The zipper was plastic and everything. Needless to say I didn't buy it, but thought I would share since I don't believe they have ever made this style (maybe I'm wrong??).

How sad! Some consumers will do the whole bait and switch everything to own a HL dress. It's sad because the workers can't tell if it's real, not all Nordstrom carries HL. That's what happens was CL too. They can returns these items at any department so they will never get checked. The horror and that explains why they get sent to Nordstrom rack.

The sequined detail will make a big difference because there is a lot of hand stitching of the sequined involved. You have to size up in the dresses because they do not stretch as much as a regular HL. I will take a picture of a sequined detail stitching for you tomorrow and post it up.

I want this dress:

Not sure how the sizing runs, but I've been searching for an XS. Does anyone have any modeling pics? If anyone sees one, please let me know

You would need an XS in this dress. If you purchased an XXS the girls will be squished and you would have a hard time zipping up the dress in the back where the sequined meets the zipper around your waist. Also the area around your waist in the back, will be tight since the sequined doesn't let the fabric stretch that much. Also to answer your previous question about metallic foil print dresses, they are TTS.

Thanks:smile1: Would you happen to know how the length is on that particular dress (the black ones with the sequins at the top)? Also, is it the same dress as the coral one I posted above (and I think I've seen a light blue one too)? Would I be an XXS in that style with no sequins? Do you know what season the dress is from? Does it have a name (I know the older ones don't)?
Thanks again!

I get your question. While HL bandage dresses still have their fans, they are definitely not considered fashion forward at this point. The label itself has moved on to different shapes and a mix of colors/textiles. The old school single color bod con dress has been copied by many at a much lower price point, including BCBG, the brand that owns HL.

Does anyone still buy the real deal at full retail? Seems like HL bandage dresses are always on sale.

I can tell you why not many people wear HL dresses. Simply, in order to wear them you have to have almost a perfect body. And of course there is no comparison between HL and cheaper version. May be you should try one time and see a difference for yourself.

Actually I think it can flatter many body shapes due to its"sucking in" nature. But I do think most styles go on sale at this point but herve leger still does mostly bandage dresses and the cheaper stuff does not compare.

Perhaps you should have added that it is your opinion that HL is not considered fashion-forward at this point. If you don't care for the dresses, don't wear them:smile1: I find it odd that someone would think that it would be appropriate to come into a popular thread and criticize - unless the main purpose is to illicit drama (which was the intent of the other poster who was deleted).

.....and, moving on:p
My latest purchase arrived. I think it's a return. The yellow is not a true, bright, sunny yellow, but has green undertones. Also, while the length and fit in the waist/hips is good, the bust is pretty tight and difficult (but manageable) to zip.

I think the fit is great o you. If it is not the right yellow then you should return it. What was the official color of the dress? Ask rnsmelody the differences between the yellow colored dresses. If I remember correctly, when I viited the SF boutique, I found the off-white to be whiter than alabaster.
