Trying on Dresses from the 2013 Herve Leger Collection
I recently took a trip to the Herve Leger San Francisco boutique. I tried on some seriously beautiful dresses, including several from the recent 2013 collection! Trying on dresses is a great way to figure out which dresses look best on your body, and can help you decide which ones to add to your wishlist... so you can snag 'em when a good deal appears on Lollipuff. 😉
Melody, my favorite Herve Leger stylist and sales associate, helped me pick out 7 different dresses to try on.
Most Herve Legers have an amazing fit... but some seem like they are made just for you -- which is why it's so easy to get addicted to Herve! This one was my favorite of the trip. The drop waist is ideal for those with a very short torso, like me.
Here it is with a Herve Leger belt:
I did not think this colorblock dress (Parker) would look good on me. It is very similar to some of the vintage 1990's Herve Leger pieces. But I was pleasantly surprised -- it was super-cute, quite flattering, and totally timeless!
To be honest, the dress was so out of my price range that I don't even remember the price without looking it up -- it is $3250. Looking at this dress, you can see why it costs so much! It obviously took some real skill (and creativity) to make this dress: tiny individual bands throughout along with shimmery bead-work! If you want phenomenal shaping and have the money to spend... this dress might just be the one.
This next dress, Bridget, was one of Melody's favorites. She debated purchasing this very dress for herself. I can certainly understand why she likes it so much:
You may recognize the next dress. I own the black and white version and am head over heels in love with it. However, I'm not entirely impressed with this blue version -- it just doesn't fit the same (or have the same spark) as my flattering black-and-white one. Strange.
The Anaya dress below is very busy looking. With a whole lot of design and a whole lot of flare, this dress swallowed up my small frame! On the right body, this could be a fantastic dress.
The final dress is a beautiful, chic, one-shoulder ombre piece, Eliana. By the way, you can see the sexy Miss Melody on one side of the picture. 😉
