sellers like that really PI** me off. They know exactly what they are doing. There are so many fakes on eBay (disgusting)
amorris, just to add my two cents, i've had both banded and faux banded dress hemmed by my tailor. As long as they serge the end you should be fine. The only thing though is with that dress the bottom isn't straight so it might be harder if it's faux banding 
^That's good to know, dirtyaddiction
I knew that some ladies here have had success with alterations on faux-banded dresses. I guess that's where having an excellent tailor comes in handy. I don't live in an area where most people even know what HL is, so finding a tailor who knows how to work with it, is tough. My tailor is awesome, but I'm just too afraid to risk it.

Hi all,
I just received my first HL today, and oh god, how amazing are they?! I don't even have to suck it in.
My measurements are 32-28-35 and I fall under both XS and S, I got these in the XS just because I want it skintight and I don't want it to be loose on the top. I had a quite a hard time zipping it up, but when it's up it's all fine. Can you please please be honest and tell me if this fits okay or is it too small for me?
And for those who has this dress, do you know if this would be easy to be altered? I would like for it to be a band shorter. THANKS ALL
i think the dress looks fantastic on you! as for the creased part, have someone else pull it down at the bottom (if you try to do it, you'll just cause more wrinkles) -- once the dress is down, it'll stay put and be wrinkle-free. it does depend on how you like for them to fit, though...i like mine to be skin tight.
as for altering, unless the bands are separate (i don't think they do this on the new styles, really, but i don't have this style) it would probably be very hard to get it altered, because of the bottom.

i have one faux-banded dress that's been hemmed, but it had a straight bottom so no issues (just looped it up and stitched lightly). looks great...but with the bottom on this dress, i don't think it will work?
yes, i haven't noticed any of the dresses i've purchased from the outnet to be less than perfect. that said, i did visit the sf boutique yesterday, and one of their dresses (purple cap sleeve) was literally falling apart at the seams and you could see all of the stitching unraveling on the outside (the SA said she could have it fixed for me, but the entire dress looked like it was falling apart -- no joke!). so it's probably a mixed bag everywhere, and you'll find "worse" quality in both boutiques and online.
I got a Herve Leger dress from Outnet but need to alter it to two sizes down. I called Herve Leger store if they provide this services. They gave me a tailor's contact and said she does wonderful jobs. I am so scared if she will ruin my dress. 
It looks fantastic on you. May I ask where you got it from seeing that you're from Australia too? TIA.

Wow, two sizes down? Can't you return it and purchase a smaller size? Sometimes, when you try to size down too much, it changes the whole look of the dress. I hope it works out for you. Best of luck!
Does anybody know what roughly what year/season this dress is:

Would you say it is authentic?
