Ladies, how do you all store your HLs? I have always thought it's best to store them flat, because I've heard they can stretch if they hang, but am starting to get a bit annoyed with this method.

At the moment I lay them all on top of each other on a large shelf with tissue paper in between - this was fine when I only had a couple of items, but now my collection is growing it is getting very annoying to have to pull them all out to get at the one I want, then re-fold all the tissue etc.

Any thoughts appreciated!

I wrote about this in a blog. There are 3 solutions for this. https://www.lollipuff.com/blog/4/how-to-store-herve-leger-correctly

Folding them works in a store, but not in your home for super longtime if you rarely reach for them.

Everyone talks about the awesome holding power of HL dress and how it is meant to be tight. Just out of curiosity, how many of you here actually sized up (intentionally or accidentally) and how did you feel about it? Did you feel more comfortable in the dress or did you wish that your stomach could be tucked in a bit more (especially with the amount that you are paying). Would love to hear all your thoughts! :)

The colorblock dress is more striking. If you want "nice dress" comments, or "who's that girl" questions - go with the colorblock one. But the red one is also very pretty, and it highlights your slim figure. I would prefer the colorblock one personally.

I sort-of sized up accidentally/through weight-loss. I was an xs/s when I first got into HL, but now I'm probably more xxs/xs, or at least on the small side of xs. So two of my dresses are larger than they "should" be. I wish they had more hold and I had them in a smaller size. Even if I wear shapewear underneath, the one that fits smaller just makes me look even better (it shapes on top of the shapewear). That said, if you're happy with your figure, then I think it would be fine to get a slightly larger dress. And the larger ones are easier to zip up. I still like my larger dresses too - but the one I spent more on, I feel like I spent too much given the weaker hold.

Does anyone know if HL dresses stretch? I bought the cross front dress in my normal size but it's tiny and is almost painful to wear.. I squished my self into once so I can't return it.. any ideas? Xx

Thanks so much for sharing and congrates on your weight loss! Its interesting how a smaller size can hold everything in and make the wearer look better. Everyone here looks so good in their dresses! I am not small to start with (big S or normal M) so I keep wondering where do all my fats go when I zip myself up in the dress. Do they spill over somehow? Like if the dress has sleeves, then there is clearly a roll of fat where the sleeve ends and your skin starts showing? Or do I just happen to have a vivid imagination?

I read here that hanging the dress up might stretch it so you might want to start hanging it up sideways so that hopefully gravity helps stretch it out? :laugh:

I bought a medium nanette and it's too big. Too big as in it fits really comfortably and provides next to no holding power at all... I mean it's pretty, but I was hoping for some shaping effect!! Wish it had more hold in the waist. But I needed the room in the bust... tried on 1 dress in small in the past and i couldn't breathe due to how it squashed down my boobs!! It was awful! Now i'm thinking that was a style problem (high neckline, long sleeves) rather than a size issue...

unfortunately, i decided to not go with either, i actually bought a different one that's a tube dress in a fuchsia pink. me and hubby really liked it over the other two. thanks for all your lovely advices

You look really good in the color block dress. It serves to elongate your body. Go for that! :)
