Trying on more 2014 Herve Leger Dresses
When I go to try on Herve Leger dresses, I take it seriously. Not like it's really a chore though; Herve Leger is my favorite brand! 😛 Here are 5 more 2014 dress reviews from my most recent shopping trip. For those of you who don't have a Herve Leger store near you or are short on time, I hope that these are helpful. 🙂
First up is the Emely (here). This dress is sophisticated yet alluring. The pattern accentuates and exaggerates curves, and the high neckline and below-the-knee hem keep it very cosmopolitan. This dress ran half size big.
The v-essential is a mainstay of Herve Leger. It is repeatedly produced each year in different colors. What a lot of people don't know about the v-essential is that its styling and construction can vary. Some v-essentials run longer than others. Most v-essential dresses are individually banded at the bust and faux banded below. The depth of the v neckline also varies.
To my delight, this most recent black v-essential (here) is all individually banded! Classic sexy style, a timeless slimming black, and a slightly longer than mid-thigh length. Perfection. A Herve Leger retailing $880 that is individually banded is a rarity. Not that it really matters though as very intricate individually banded Herve Leger sells for much less here at Lollipuff. 😛 This dress runs true to size as well.
I was a huge fan of the Carmen dress. The Liza dress (here) is basically the Carmen dress with a drop-waist flare skirt. It was cute and pretty, but I like the Carmen better. This dress is true to size.
I had high hopes for the Ivana dress (here). Being short-waisted, I love dropwaist dresses. However, I think this dress should be reserved for those who are taller than 5'5." This dress ran half a size big.
This red Alyse dress (here) was a little too long for my liking. When a dress flares out this much and is right-above-the knees, you can't have skinny chicken leg calves. lol... It's absolutely beautiful up top, but this is better suited for those who like knee-length and have normal to thick calves. This dress also ran half a size big.
