Oooh thanks!! Do you know what the sale is?

I just called the Herve Leger store in Orange County and they said their sale dresses are 60% off starting today. Maybe the SF store has the same sale?

For myself, I'm so torn on whether to go or not! I still have baby weight to lose, so I shouldn't buy such an expensive dress yet, but my rational mind might lose this argument. :)

Anyone with experience - do the 60% off sales come a couple times a year, once a year, once in a blue moon? I could probably bring myself to wait 6 months if the sales come a couple times a year...

I believe it is at least twice a year. If you get on the mailing list of the contact posted, she will keep you in the loop obout all sales and even better, pre-sales!

hi ladies
long time lurker and finally made an account!
looking to get my first Herve for Christmas - more specifically, the Kable strapless dress. my measurements are 34-32-36.. which size do you think would fit best for me? do these dresses run true to size?

Edit - in the BCBG bandage dresses, I am able to fit in a M or a L if this is any help.

Oops I mean the Kabele dress. And does anyone have this dress? Would you mind posting mods pics? I'm about 5'1 and am not sure how long it will be on me.. The descrip. on Herve says its 29.5 from neck to hem and that ends right above my knees.

And can anyone recommend a seamstress in San Francisco area? Thanks again!

Love the color. I love the Bailey because I have had 3 kids and it sucks in my muffin top and helps out my boobs. :p

Thanks for your kind words :)

rundsm - I'm really new to Herve Leger dresses myself, but since you haven't gotten a response yet I thought I'd say something. Since you're in the SF area, you might want to go to the Herve Leger boutique there to try on the dress, or some other Herve Leger dresses, to get an idea of your size. (High end department stores often carry them too.) Based on the size chart I'm an XS or S, but I just bought an XS dress and I realize I could have gone smaller - especially in the waist and hips (my boobs are a bit big). So I think the sizing can be a little tricky sometimes. On the bright side, since the dresses are so stretchy, being off a little can work - but I think it diminishes the fabulous Herve Leger figure-flattering effects.

Based on your measurements - 34 -32 -36, I would say an XS. Your measurements are really similar to mine (35 - 31 - 36). Our waists are much bigger than an XS would recommend, but I think the dress will cinch us in a lot through the tummy. I'm a 30 DDD bra size, so you can see from the 30 band that I have a small frame. I think for Herve Leger, your frame size matters even more than your actual measurements, since Herve Leger can squish in the chub, but can't squish in your frame! You can see a picture of me in a blue and black XS dress on page 276, with my 35-31-36 measurements.

I hope that helps!

There is a good one near Union square. I cannot remember the name, I'll try to see if I still have the contact information. It was recommended to me by the HL boutique. It is in a fancy building near where the cable car turns around. They shortened and dress for me and it came out perfectly.
