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

my SA said they will stretch temporarily when you wear them but will go back to original size when you aren't wearing it.

Thanks!!
I will give that a go.. as the thought of putting the dress on scars me.. but it's so beautiful I can't bear to sell it.

Any other advice re stretching Here Leger?

This is just my personal opinion, but over-stretching a HL is not a good idea. The original fit will not be the same once you do this, and it takes considerable amount of work to stretch out a HL. Hanging it sideways will not make it fit better. :P Unfortunately, it's better to find the dress in a bigger size. Once you have that, it'll be easier to let go of the one that you currently have, as it's more of a *swap* than a *get rid of.* Hope that helps. :) wish I could have given a happier answer...

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! :)

I notice Models wear them on the looser side, Like the Victoria secret models

Most of the time though, they wear them tight. I personally think it looks better when they are worn tight as intended, but this is just personal preference.

VS models have perfect bodies, so additional shaping is usually not necessary... DARN those women! lol...
But, it's a good point. Even sizing up 1 size with Herve Leger, you'll get much better fit than you would with another brand that does bandage dresses.

And, I have found that certain HL dresses look good even when sized up 2 sizes! 0_o :)

Hi, everybody! Lovely modeling pictures. I am on the lookout for a Herve Leger dress. So closely following this thread. It is very motivating LOL.

The 'Authenticate this apparel' thread is the right place to post pictures for HL authentication, right?

I also love the bikinis, but never in my life I am going to have the same size top and bottom ;p

Tyson's NM had some HL dresses on sale and although I don't think xs and xxs were still available, they are able to ship your size from their warehouse. Just bought the navy Sydney one shouldered dress for $750, full price was $12xx. I had originally purchased it at full price at Nordstrom and then returned it a month or so ago. Was happy to see this on sale at NM so I don't have to feel too guilty about the price. This dress is still full price elsewhere.

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.

It's taken me ages to reply, but I loved your blog post and decided it was time to create a dedicated HL drawer! Attached is a photo of my small collection in its new home (with one BCBG impostor :smile1:).

I think I will put tissue paper between some of them though, chiefly because I am worried about the white ones and colour transfer...I'm sure it's not likely, but I'd rather not risk it.

I think the white dress is probably my favourite right now...but I love all of them!

Thanks! :smile1: I am going to try and grow it a bit more this year...a red and a blue are my next targets.

Love the rose dress, I find it really versatile (especially in winter here) because I can wear it with dark stockings...also, incidentally, my shortest HL, I think ;)

Hey, I've got that one too. Would love to see how you style it to make it so versatile.
