I sent them an email yesterday via their website and received an auto reply that they would respond within 24 hours. But those who are interested should also email to show the demand for this. Like Agnelle, they may very well generate more stock due to the sudden demand. The address I used was shop@loverthelabel.com.
I think its fair to say the Navy is now impossible to find, the next best bet was the black one which was available recently in a few sizes but it seems that even that one is now sold out everywhere as well.
I purchased mine (or rather my Mrs) for $300 in a sale but believe it was sold around $800 - 1000 originally - wow!
I received a reply from Lover to my query regarding the Venus Fitted Dress. This is what the email said:
"Hello Craig,
Thank you for your enquiry and interest in Lover! And thank you for your kind words, we are honoured to be involved in such a James Bond film!
Unfortunately, as this is a past season item (SS14) we no longer have the beautiful Venus Fitted Dress in stock. Please see our Black Magick collection for our currently Black lace dresses:
The Grace Dress, $995.00 AUD
The Valentine Fitted Dress, $749.00 AUD
I hope that you have found this helpful and please feel free to contact me with any further enquiries!
X Meaghan"

Clearly they've never had the request to restock a previous season's item, but if enough people are interested, perhaps it's something they would entertain. I would encourage everyone interested to email them at shop@loverthelabel.com!
Afraid so!! Lost a fair bit of cash changing to the LE - grrrr!!
Still love the watch, but it annoys me that I did not wait (the lollipop hand is soon cool) ... maybe I wait until the hype is over and see if I can get a second hand LE and sell my standard edition ... and take the hit, too. I wonder how many fans got an LE and how many people just bought it to make money on fans ...
Im having similar issues with the usually excellent Mr Porter customer service.
If I add any item to my cart and checkout I get VAT taken off - item is 20% cheaper
Strangely if I add a Tom Ford item to my cart it increases by about 50% instead of decreasing 20% - bizarre!!
In talks with customer services but they don't seem to listen to me and treating me like a plonker
I've had to resort to before and after screenshots to get my point across!! X-(
That's the FST, Welshboy: the Ford Sales Tax. Catches you every time!
Just told them that TF direct take the tax off (and significantly cheaper) therefore will be taking my custom elsewhere!! They are off to find if its a computer glitch )
Like many others I preordered the Solden Ski Pants earlier on in the year and when they turned up I was pretty much thinking "meh" They looked pretty unflattering fit wise and can't imagine ever wearing them. TF were happy to take them back but since I had been travelling etc for a long time (they had been sitting at my house for ages) it was a case of receiving store credit for the value of the pants!! I ended up paying the difference for another suit - will post pics when it arrives!!!

Think it was £1550 ish at time with the exchange rate back then (GBP)
About a grand less then UK retail anyhow!!!
Another example is the SPECTRE tux (I never bought it) but the Jacket / Pants and Tux shirt from Milan without VAT was about the same price as just the Jacket only at UK retail (£2.5k ish)
Where I live there is no tax or import charges fortunately. The unfortunate aspect is it takes donkeys and difficult to send here (but I rather that then pay more!!)
However regardless of VAT. Milan retail price always seems cheaper then UK.
E.g Tux jacket €2930 Euros (approx £2125). In Harrods / Selfridges / TF London its over £2500

Personally I prefer it in Black but my lady doesn't
Appears to be two different dresses - please look at the belly button diamond center of dress

oh, you too ... guess by now it is too late to sell my SM 300 and go LE ... well lesson learnt, too.

The price from Tom Ford Milan (big diff in price) and also no VAT to my location made it hard to resist
Kind regards,
Craig

Of course!
Hence it was a little tight
Nope!!
If you don't mind what is the price for said suit from Milan without VAT?
About a grand less then UK retail anyhow!!!

I'm looking at getting a couple new suits in the new year and do not want to pay over 4k a suit. So that looks good. -{
