I returned mine because it was just not comfortable. I felt like either the top of the dress kept slipping down or if I pulled it up higher to avoid slippage, then I couldn't move my arms comfortably. It was a very pretty dress, just not practical. For me, part of looking good is feeling good too, and that dress just didn't feel good...

rns, thank you!! I got my dresses shortened at Cable Car Tailors near the Starbucks on Powell street...gotta say though..I think the tailor made some snags in my red strapless HL so I might not be going back..he did a great job on my black and white HLs though...
It's $45 per dress if you're just altering the length.

panda -- i love your collection! you look amazing in all of your dresses. i especially love the one-shoulder in stone.
margharita -- you also look stunning, i really love that dress and i wish the outnet had it in my size
if the arm part feels like it's slipping down i would probably return it. my philosophy is that i don't spend $500+ on a dress unless it's perfect (e.g. it has no flaws, needs no extras such as spanx, etc.), but i suppose you could always try double-sided tape? it does look amazing on you.

i've been thinking about the green dress with the black halter... may i know how it fits? i'm generally an XXS but XS for the the fall '08 collection. does this style/season run true to size? fyi, dimensions are 32-24.5-35.5. thanks!

How would you decline their request to borrow it? I'm not sure what to say...
I've lent HLs and clothes to close friends and family whom I know will take good care of my stuff. Usually they don't borrow because they know I'm super anal about my belongings.
I would tell them that I am super anal about my personal items and have a huge phobia with germs, odors, etc. Being honest is best. Tell them you aren't comfortable with lending the dresses out and ask them to respect your wishes. Direct them to renttherunway.com where they pay about 10-15% of the cost of the dress. Or offer another, less expensive dress to wear?
I just usually say "you know, i wish i could but i have an event/party/whatever that i think im wearing it to on that day/weekend/sometime soon and need it." or you could just say you don't lend out your clothes, period.
I would just say that HLs are very delicate and you don't loan them out for obvious reasons.
yea... I would just say you don't share clothes. I would never ask anybody to borrow their clothing anyway; it's just weird, especially such an expensive item... unless it's my sister. Plus, Herve Leger is no joke.
If she's really interested, point her to buying her own. I don't really like renting as it's $150, and buying a used one can be as low as $300-$500. A new sale dress on a good sale can be as low as $300-$600 and the resale value on a pre-owned is usually the same as it is new because HErve Leger is SO in demand!

i agree, i don't like renting either. it's not a bad deal if you're only looking at the full retail price, but i've gotten all of my HL's for under $600
Thanks ladies! I'll try to let her down gently, or just keep my HLs hidden and steer her toward my cheaper dress options
