Did you buy it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-946095 Fri, 31 May 2013 20:53:31 +0000 Inge 946095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holding thumbs for you, Sona!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-946089 Fri, 31 May 2013 20:49:41 +0000 Sona 946089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sorry to resurrect but the same dress is now 180 at net a porter and i'm about to buy. pls wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917812 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:46:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 917812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I appreciate your feedback ladies.<br /><br />Una - I'm not sure what the lining is but the seller said it is stretchy as well.<br /><br />Suz - the return would be about $30, plus I would be out the cost of the seller's shipping the dress to me, which is $25. Am I willing to be out of pocket for that? Yes.<br /><br />Inge &amp; Debbie - you two are right. This dress has stolen my heart and I'm never going to know if it could have been right for me without trying it.&nbsp;<br /><br />I've decided to go for it - even though I have a nagging suspicion it's going to be too small. But I NEED TO KNOW.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks all! I'll update you once it arrives.<br /><br />ETA: Had to add that I don't know whether I'm more worried about it not fitting, or more worried that it will - lol! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917676 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:21:56 +0000 shedev 917676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like that dress. Go for it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917666 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:18:07 +0000 Debbie 917666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon since my original reply I have been giving this some more thought . This is something the you have obviously given a great amount of thought too. <br />This is a wonderful piece for the price (pricey yes but not for the brand)<br />She is willing to take the item back if it does not work. Sometimes we want something so bad and then it doesn't fit or it just plain doesn't work. You get to find out for a small risk of a return.&nbsp; Still say buy but wanted to explain my reasoning. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917656 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:14:32 +0000 Inge 917656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This dress has clearly stolen your heart, Shannon, so I vote go for it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917643 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:06:08 +0000 Suz 917643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a gorgeous dress! What would be the cost ($$) of the return for you? Are you willing to be out of pocket for that?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917627 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:00:03 +0000 Debbie 917627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I say order it and see. That dress is amazing and if you don't try it you will keep thinking about it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917623 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:56:29 +0000 Thistle 917623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Gaylene said! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917600 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:19:18 +0000 Gaylene 917600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, if you can return it, your worst case scenerio for a HL experiment would be shipping costs, which I can usually recoup by not venturing into Starbucks for a few days. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917592 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:09:15 +0000 catgirl 917592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, I looked at that dress too.&nbsp; What is the lining? &nbsp;My HL skirt is quite stretchy and I think this could work for you.&nbsp; Since she's allowing a return what's to lose? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917589 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:00:17 +0000 annagybe 917589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Since the seller is willing to offer a return I'd do it! I think the ruching and pseudo wrap effect could be great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/helmut-lang-help#post-917587 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:56:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 917587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In my previous thread about Helmut Lang and mixing styles (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-combine-styles">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ine-styles</a>) I linked to a dress for sale on eBay that I really liked. I had emailed the seller to get more information regarding fit and size and at first it sounded like it would be too small. This is the dress&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Helmut-Lang-Oide-printed-jersey-dress-size-L-Large-Brand-NEW-Stunning-RARE-/271188123203?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&amp;hash=item3f24125e43&amp;_uhb=1#ht_774wt_892">http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Helmut-.....ng-RARE-/2</a><br /><br />However, she has emailed me this morning to tell me she had her mom try on the dress who is the same size as I am (at least theoretically) and that it fit really well. She normally does not offer returns but is willing to make an exception and offer a return for me on the dress if it doesn't fit.<br /><br />I'm wondering if I should go for it and give it a try, knowing I can return it but at least that way, getting it out of my system? It is an expensive item for me (even on eBay we're talking $300) and normally I would never spend that amount while on a weight loss journey, but it sounds like the fabric is stretchy and forgiving and could fit well at even a smaller size.<br /><br />What do you think? I'm confused...
