I was literally clicking pay and someone bought my dream dress :( I don't actually own a HL yet so was really excited! I ordered another one now, but the last one I ordered was too big so I had to return it. Hope this one fits!

Otnet sale + HL = cut thoat competition for dresses. I hope the one you managed to get fits. Check back regularly maybe someone will return your dream dress.

I bought the strapless Ombre during the last clearance sale, the colors are much nicer IRL than on the website. I bet you'll love it :smile1:

I missed the Outnet sale:( I really wanted the blue dress with the scalloped edges. I got a coral dress from Outnet just the other day though and it should arrive tomorrow.
A few weeks ago, I purchased the light yellow dress (with double straps at the shoulders) and it was awful (it is sold out/no longer listed, so I can't post a link, but it was on the site earlier today). As soon as I opened the box, it smelled like chemicals of some sort (almost like paint). When I touched the dress, I could tell immediately that the fabric felt different. All the tags, etc. looked authentic, but the material was much thinner than I'm used to. The fabric was so bad, it was even see-through up top. I've never had a bad experience with Outnet (and I have purchased several HLs from them), but that dress was not right...

So sorry to heard this. Do you remember the style's name of that dress?

Here is the dress: http://www.theoutnet.com/product/368434
The size I ordered (and then returned) was an XS, which is my normal size in HL. I was really hoping that the dress would work because the light yellow color was so pretty and perfect for spring. It really was like nothing I have ever experienced with HL before. Maybe they had a bad batch of material or something? The smell was odd too, but to be fair, I suppose it could have been the packaging materials (which was just the usual tissue paper). I have never felt a fake HL dress before, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I have seen/felt the Bebe bandage-style dresses/skirts and even the material on those was better than that of the Yellow HL.

I am not sure about the material issue (though I have found the "thickness" and texture of bandages varies quite a bit across styles, and have returned an HL in the past due to the thinness of the bandage fabric) but I have already mentioned to the Outnet through a feedback survey that the HLs I receive from them smell very strongly of what I believe to be mothballs or some other sort of "preservative". I also had the same issue with an Issa dress last week. The past two HLs I've bought from them have been ridiculously smelly. However, it dissipates very quickly - I usually just leave them somewhere to air for an hour or two and they're back to normal. They are definitely aware that this is an issue, so it will be interesting to see whether my latest purchase also smells funky!!

EDIT - to be clear, the outnet actually replied to my point about the odour of the dresses with a personalised email saying that this is totally unacceptable, apologising, and promising to look into it.

Can I ask a really awkward question? Is it the dress or does everyone on this forum just have really nice boobs?! I've been considering jumping on the HL band wagon but not sure about how to fit a bra under most of their designs. What does everyone else do about that problem?
