Herve Leger = <3 Part III

[rnsmelody]

Hi all, I am very new to HL. Need some advise.

I just tried a Gold HL but somehow, I feel like the bust line is abit weird looking on me, as if it is too high, making my boobs look spaced out. (as in my boobs being stretch to the side, than push together in the middle as most V-neck does)

It is a Gold / Champaign colored Sleeveless, V-neck HL, super low back. I tried the XS. The length of the shoulder strap fits me for the XS, but like I mentioned, I felt like the bust line as in the U line should be in-line with my bra U line (if you ladies know what I mean)
Other than that, the XS fits me (very snug)

I did try the S size, but I felt more snug with the XS, as I find the S size shoulder staps is a bit long.

In the end I didnt get the dress, sigh, though the SA was saying I look great in the color.

Sorry, I dont know the model... except it was a super low back to me, as in when I try, it is lower than my bra line behind.

Now I keep thinking is that this style that I tried doesnt fit my body shape? or is it me being ignorant about the bust line when it is supposed to be like that?

Would look forward to some advises.

This is the dress right? This is how it is suppose to look like..

if ^^^ is the dress your're talking about, then i have it in black in a S (attached pictures), but i agree with rnsmelody, its definitely a lift and scoop dress--from the side my boobs look a little flat? but from the front its a-ok, i still LOVE the dress

Hi all,
I used Nadia and Vladamirs on Market. They were recommended by the HL boutique in SF. They repaired a hole in the dress for $50. I'll pick it up this week and let you know how they did.

Nadia and Vladamir did a fantastic job on my dress. The dress had a large hole in the last band. I wanted them to patch it up and they said it wasn't possible. They removed the last band and shortened the zipper accordingly. You would never know it was shortened. The price was great for the excellent service and quality workmanship. Recommended!

Thank you very much. I am now searching high and low for events to attend. You know any?

aw, not in belgium, sorry. come to california or chicago and i'll hook you up

It definitely needs to be shortened a bit.

vhdos, thanks for your honest opinion. The only problem is finding someone with lots of experience on HL dresses. I don't want to take it to just anyone out there.

Hi Vhdos & rnsmelody,

Sorry for my bad description. Yup, the right description should be what one of you describes as flatten out the breast.
I did try to lift and scoop my boobs in to fit under the bust line but like you said, it is indeed too short, and YES, the line stops at my nipples. That's why I felt so weird looking at it in the mirror.

Thank you so much for your advise and assurance that there will be better options out there.

Cos I am really petite and hard to get suitable clothes, not to mention HL, thus I tend to think it is my weird body shape when XS sizes dont fit... haha.

HLs are no different than any other clothing - not every style is going to fit every body type. I'm sure that you'll find one that works for you I am really petite too, so I can understand your frustration.

This is SUPER lovely! Love this on you!

You look lovely in this dress, for me, sigh, my boobs doesnt look like boobs from the front at all, I supposed my boobs are too small, and doesnt look flattering in this dress.
