Oh, I'm glad I found this thread. Nuiko and any others who own/has tried on Alaia's stuff - I am looking to get a shirt-dress for my wife by him. How does Alaia cut? Very narrow, regular, forgiving, it depends? Please, comment, I REALLY need to know.

at 70% off doesn't look that scary B) No, it's closer to us than Ebay. So it runs very narrow? That is not the answer I wanted, but I expected it. <Sigh>, that sucks. Maybe we'll try our luck anyway...

Alaia clothes are chic, elegant, and sexy. Like a previous poster, i own vintage pieces but i would die for one of his haute couture designs.

mmm...yeah...we were looking at some beautiful pieces this weekend...but they def run very small...i wouldn't even try one on...because i don't want to feel bad about myself...my friend who wears a size 2/4 MIGHT fit into some of the pieces...but they are usually very tight and restrict movement somewhat...not the most practical things in the world...but not meant to be...


some of them are a bit more forgiving... you never know until you try...

there was this one dress... ...maybe that's what you're talking about ...but even at the sale price... ...not gonna happen...
