I don't see the line you're talking about. I think the dress looks good on you. Isn't this style reversable? How does it look the other way 'round? If they don't have the next size up then put on your spanx and conquer the world in your gorgeous ombre HL.

Hi Ladies, I'm a HL newbie and I need some sizing help. I tried the search function, but it only turned up duds...

How does the signature strapless dress fit? For instance, does it tend to run big or small compared to other HLs? I've only tried on a few HLs and I'm typically a size Small. Help is appreciated! I'm eyeing the red strapless on Saks http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446386274&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492823080&bmUID=iWgYKkH&ev19=1:25

I tried that dress on. I think it runs a bit bigger than the older HLs but still I don't think I could have sized down from my tts medium. Though I also have that dress except with a black top and I definitely could have sized down for it. :/ Good luck. I LOVE that dress. The HL red is tdf.

NP! I tried on my dress like that last night and it's bunching up around the waist... like not laying flat, and not because it's too small; i think because it's too big or something. That's annoying. I have to see if spanx or some undergarment will fix that. Also, I have got to get the bottom of it altered, because it flares out in an awkward way. Ugh. Love the dress, but I should probably give it up. lol

In other news, there is finally a raspberry hl on ebay now in my size but I'm worried because i'm pretty sure that two of the seller's other dresses are fake. :( That one looks fine, though... and I REALLY NEED THAT DRESS. SIGH!

^If the dress is too big, undergarments (like Spanx) won't help because they actually pull you in a little bit (therefore making a dress that's already too big, a little bigger). Also, the flare at the bottom hem is normal (it's called a "fishtail" I believe) and lots of us have that. It really doesn't look that bad and there are ways that you can stand that minimize it.
Do you have any pics to post? Sorry it's not a perfect fit, I know how frustrating that can be.
 
#490
^ Thanks. It might not look as bad if the dress weren't below my knees. Ugh. Because it's so long, the fishtail just looks odd in my opinion. I'll try to post some pics later.


In other news... I bought that HL raspberry dress!!! :nuts::yahoo: maybe. lol. Hope it works out for me!!! Now I need to list a whoollllllle bunch of stuff to sell. lol.

omg I have the same problem with one of my hl dresses too. Its a strange problem...I think mine is too small for me? Since it's so hard to zip up. *shrugs* That same dress also flares out. I hate the flaring...please someone tell me how to get rid of it. :D ohh...it's normal?!


Congrats on the raspberry dress!!
 
#492
^ Thanks!!! I am sooooooo excited!!!!!!!! aaaah! lol

That's the weird thing about my dress, too, though... it is harder to zip up than my other dress. But the bunching thing is so strange at the waist. I don't get it. It's also too big around the very top, which is REALLY bad. :( Ugh. I don't know. I think maybe my arse/thighs are so big and my knees so skinny that I'm just not shaped correctly for the dress. lol. I know a large would be WAY too big, though. Sad!

Good thing I still ahve my criss-cross open back lipstick red dress to wear in nyc! :groucho: Got a man to catch there!

hi everyone! i was wondering what the most number of bands anyone has ever shortened their dress? i have that "fishtail" problem on one of my HL's and I noticed that if i pull it up it's not so bad. So I was thinking that I should just shorten the dress. Since I'm probably going to wear the dress in Vegas, I was thinking of just going for it and making it reeeeal short, hahahaa. I'm not too tall (5'2") so I was thinking of removing 2 or 3 bands. Has anyone ever removed 3? Not sure if that is just crossing the hoochie line... LOL
