Herve Leger Magic


Every girl needs to have an "I'm sexy and I know it" dress.  It's the dress that makes you feel like you brought sexy back and can bring all the boys to the yard.

Mine is a black, 3/4 length sleeve Herve Leger (I got this bad boy for 60% while on a trip to NYC!)

Herve Leger dresses somehow magically shape you by cinching you into the perfect proportions of "woman".  (Actually I think they have a patent on the elastic technology). 

However, with the "I'm sexy and I know it dress", one can easily accidently step over the boundry into trashy/overtly sexy category, if one is not too careful.  I appreciate the fact that my dress has sleeves to balance out the tightness and the high skirt.  Also given that I have an "asian chest", the low neckline doesn't look too vulgar.

The key to keeping it classy is to remember is that it's all about balance - if you're going for legs, maybe cover up the arms.  Lots of cleavage, then go with a longer skirt.  Backless, then maybe cover up the front.

Talking about this reminds me of a quote from Edith Head. 

She hit the nail on the...head (lol)
