I finally got my first Herve Leger dress last night! I've been wanting one forever, but have been on a tight budget lately, but I got this one at 60% off. I never knew black dresses went on sale. I'm very proud of myself for recent weight loss and now have to buy a whole new wardrobe (if anyone has any suggestions of places to get basics that are good quality but not expensive, please LMK). This dress checks 2 things off my list: 1) little black dress and 2) a HL!

Congratulations! And, fantastic dress!! Great choice on investing on a great black dress!

I tend to spend more on shoes, bottoms, bags and dresses. Fewer items at higher quality! My recommendation is to spend less on tops. Trends really move fast on tops and they wear out faster in general. Ann Taylor, Zara, H&M, Asos and even Target have nice tops. Being selective is key; clothes seem to add up SO fast!

Have fun on creating a new wardrobe!!

^^Thanks, bebe! I just checked out your blog, and it's fantastic. I'm looking to buy my 2nd HL in a few months or so, and I'm sure your info will help me make a smart choice. And thanks for your info about the wardrobe-building. I have a great collection of shoes and bags, but I'll look into the bottoms next.

Can anyone tell me what season this dress is from? http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/herve-l...e=1&siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-2_YvL9lZV5cM7UobJgNFTQ

I believe the one shoulder blue ombre is from Fall 08? Is this as well? Is the sizing TTS, larger, or smaller?

Thanks!

The gray one shoulder ombre that you linked to is not from Fall 08. In my opinion, this dress runs small around the bust.

I'm coming to find out that TTS is not always a very good way to judge sizing. As people have different ideas of what tts is. :P Usually, it's ok, but sometimes not.

Thanks! Good point about sizing. What I meant is that I wear xxs, but some of the newer dresses run too large for me. I can wear xxs from Fall '08 and Spring '11, which I've heard run smaller. I just wanted to know where this dress fell in the spectrum -- if it was a typical xxs, runs larger, or if it was closer to the Fall '08 dresses...

Purchased my first herve leger the other day! It is from Fall 2008. I got it authenticated at lollipuff. Thanks again!

Also any shoe suggestions? the dress has a dark grey strip down the back. Thank you!!

Lovely! As far as shoes... You could go for a strappy metallic (silver or gunmetal), basic black pump w/ a blazer, or something w/ studs (CL studded VP or pigalle). :flowers:

Here are the shoes I bought to go with my dress. Thank you everybody for your suggestions!! I ended up going with nude shoes because I didn't have any!...how I have lived this long without nude shoes I will never know!

They are Stuart Weitzman.
