UGH I need to vent about clothes for a second...

UGH I need to vent about clothes for a second...

My sister bought an Herve Leger dress on Outnet - a $1300 dress for $600. Because she's in Canada she shipped it to me and I'm taking it when I go visit next week. Of course I tried it on and I WANT ONE but there is no way I can justify the expense (my sister is still supported by my dad...what does she need an Herve Leger for you ask? Good questionChat Icon). I'm so envious now because I actually think it looked good on me (and I NEVER expected that!)

Tell me it looks awful so I don't covet it, please!

What dress? The shipment got lost in the mail and you never received it! Chat Icon (just kidding)

But you do look great in it!

LOVE IT Chat Icon I may just try that!

And thanks...you really don't see the pooch that you see in the pic IRL...the picture isn't as forgiving as the dress is. DH had quite the reaction and he almost never comments on these things.

It looks great on you. Sorry I couldn't tell you otherwise.

It does look great on you! I'm sure you can find a similiar looking dress for a lot less though.

The dress looks amazing on you. And although you can find similiar dresses out there nothing will compare to that one. His dresses are made to perfection. They hide everything and flatter your body so much.

Sorry, I was no help but I have tried his dresses vs others and nothing compares. Tell her it got lost somewhere..

Thank you Chat Icon

This is really the first time in my life I would have felt confident enough to even try it on, and definitely the first time in YEARS I have fit into something of my sister's. I also agree that there are similar/copies out there but nothing is quite like the Herve. I will say that dress is HEAVY. Just picking it up...the weight of it is ridiculous! But you put it on and it is like WOWZAS. Now I understand why celebrities love them!

It looks great on you - sorry!!

However, I feel like those dresses are one of those weird things that are TOO recognizable .....KWIM? They all look the same. I don't know, I don't see the appeal - other than the fact that it looks great on you ......but I'm sure a million things would look great on you.

And I love the fact that you tried it on before you sister even touched it - Chat Icon

Unfortunately, since she lives in Toronto this would be difficult - the cost of shipping it back and forth over the border would totally outweigh any benefits.

I may tell her it got confiscated at the border on my way into Toronto Chat Icon

UMMMM hot! Ugh, you look amazing. I look horrible in Herve Leger or I may have bought one already, though I shouldn't!

Maybe 2nd anniversary gift? Chat Icon

Honestly, I think that cut on the hem is very unflattering. Send it to your sister! Chat Icon
