I wear 0s and am xxs in HL. A lot of factors go into the size we wear, such as build, height, where weight is distributed, etc. Also, with sizing so inconsistent and every changing, who knows what anyone is anymore
In some brands, 00s are too big for me, while in other brands I wear a 2. I have vintage pieces in size 4, 8, and 10!I'm a 0-2 consistently (from Burberry to Helmut Lang) and all of my Herve Leger dresses are XS (with the exception of one dress from the Fall 08 collection because those run super small...and that dress is a S). I do like my dresses to be fitted though, I can still zip them up myself but I hate the baggy bunched up look.
As part of my Vegas trip I made sure to stop by the Herve Leger store! Got the shoes but my mom didn't want to get the dress since we had just spent a ton at FendiI will be back for this dress...and it's on sale!! View attachment 2442204
That dress looks amazing on you
Did you go back for it already? I'm curious about the shoes you bought since I can't see them in the pic!Also... I have a confession to make. I bought another HL dress! Even though I promised myself I wouldn't, since I have a collection of 4 dresses, 3 skirts and a top, some I haven't even worn yet. But it was such a basic piece, black, simple, and in my size... and 88% off!

Feeling a little guilty for breaking a promise I made to myself. But tomorrow is my birthday. So I guess, advance happy birthday to me
88%?! Is that a typo? If it's really 88%, you're totally justified! I'm sure you made the promise to yourself to avoid spending too much, but at that discount you really aren't!That dress looks amazing on you

Ha - am I enabling?
I finally went to a boutique and tried on a few dresses. The lady who helped me was wonderful! She showed me how to adjust the dresses for the most flattering effect. I came home and tried on my blue and black dress again using what I learned, and it looked so much better!! I'm excited - the dress I have is even better than I thought!! Plus I learned more about my sizing and what looks best on me.

Yes, enabling. Thank you
And no, no typo! It's already been shipped too. I'm guessing it's a return from their clearance sale, hence the extra extra discount
Does anyone happen to know the style name btw?
Sneaking in for the first time -scared of being dragged down the obsession
Anyone with bust around 36 and waist 29 who can help with sizing?
I'm guessing a M will fit ?
I want it tight -of course.
And can any of you help med decide for my first dress? Maybe you can recommend any of the dresses I'm looking at:
Any of the special good for shaping? Or other pros and cons?

I would go with the first or second picture. My bust is roughly the same size as you and I do not recommend the third style. I don't find those dresses fit my bust.
Good luck!

Yay! Can't wait to see pics!
So I ended up getting another 2 dresses along with the Kabele. LOL. All 3 dresses ended up fitting great past my waist. BUT the only problem for all of them is that they are bit loose in the top though because I have small boobs :cry: :cry: :cry: so I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with that. Lol. Will post pics when my schedule clears up a little bit
You can wear a bra under most HL...just go with your favorite push-up/padded bra underneath. In fact, bras are preferred because HL doesn't cover up things when it gets cold... if you know what I mean.
