I was trying to search for the perfect dress (Within 2 hours. I hate work life.) for my Commencement dinner and I must say, it wasn’t too fruitful. When I am finally generous enough to reward myself to a perfect dress, I couldn’t find any. I even toy with the idea of buying a dress from my favourite online store, The Scarlette, but their rising popularity means someone will definitely be spotted in their dresses.
One lesson to be learnt in my 2 hours shopping stint is that not everyone (at least not the ordinary folks like us) can fit into a Hervé Léger (original/inspired) bandage dress.

(Hmm. This model remains me of my corpse sad bride friend.)
Upon trying on the various HL inspired dresses from Zara, F21 and other random few, I’ve concluded that I’ll just ended up looking like over-stuffed rice dumpling instead of looking hot like Joanne Peh.

Note: If you spot me in a frumpy looking dress, please, just leave me alone.

I honestly doubt you would look that bad in that dress, but it is a hard one to pull off for sure! I would have to wear a good pair of Spanx and lose about 5 sizes if I wanted to look that good in Herve’s bandage dress lol But I do want to see what you decided on!

the first herve leger dress i saw, i went WOW
the second time i saw one (inspired/original), i went wow
but nowadays i think it looks like abit like a ba chang
or a haphazardly wrapped gift
and the lousy inspired ones (all horizontal bandages) look like… koyok
you know koyok? the brown bandage

Tanya: Hey Tan, it is definitely tough to pull off that HL dress, I probably need a butt lifter and body corset or something. HAHA.
Amandina: I still have that WOW when I saw the HL dress but only if it is on some hot bod, otherwise it will be like “Er, ba chang / koyok” HAHA
