Thank you for the Hanro recommendations!! I got two different white tanks from Hanro and they are SO nice. They’re lightweight without being too thin and they lay flat on the body without being an uncomfortable body suit (sorry, I’m too old to be wearing butt floss these days). Thank you again! :flowers:
Haha
Love Hanro-(can I also say not bodysuits are “butt floss”- there are regular coverage bodysuits- but of course they are a more constricting garment to be sure)
And Hanro also makes lovely slips
Although I may be last woman standing who still wears slips

This is an excellent post and very is very much in line with what I’ve been seeing- I am a visible and long time Chanel customer with a bit of status (hate how that sounds - sorry :sad: ) but when a boutique hasn't looked me up in their database I sense the random SA’s were not interested in building a new relationship- and have seen others in the boutiques treated the same. I honestly think Hermès is getting better about this reserved attitude recently - but that’s another discussion. In the past, when I traveled - prepandemic- most Chanel boutiques were welcoming and interested in adding a new client; or at least pulling together looks and making special RTW orders. It feels very different now.
Lack of inventory, SA’s competing with other SA’s, pandemic protocols, it all must be difficult.
I hope this new Chanel business model works for them- because I think this is an opputunity for other luxury brands (like Dior, or a kinder gentler Hermès) to pick up new clients
Just my .02
btw, I recall how many sales were at Bergdorf's bag department area (they sell jewelry there too). I went there on a work day and I wondered how they could possibly make a living nowadays with covid. It must be very hard. So I get it. On the other hand, my other sales recently, such as at Chloe, didn't have any attitude at all. Well, you can say that it was less "in demand" ;)

I just ordered a white T-shirt from Hanro. Let's see how it fits =)

Quick question for you all---do you know which season this jacket that Demi Moore wore last year at the Chanel pre-oscar party comes from? Also, if you have it, how has it worked for you? Thanks in advance!

Demi looks very cool with the glasses and the bralette... sadly I looked way less cool when trying this one on. I think this is my normal 36/38 and it was very long on my 5’3” self. I looked like I was borrowing someone else’s jacket. Would have been better if I was wearing jeans, I’m sure, but I didn’t give it a go. I *think* this was part of S/S 20, Act 1? The price was up there - around 10K CAD (possibly a bit more), but then that’s normal price these days. Believe it was a regular fantasy tweed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this one is in the upcoming sale!

Thank you so much!It's perhaps my jackets...the T-shirt from COS and Uniqlo crew necks both have too small neck openings vs. jacket necks. Splendid tank tops work well though.
I'll give Hanro and Walford t-shirts a try. Great ideas!

a few pages back I mentioned I am a white t shirt connoisseur/addict... my favorite black scoop neck to wear under Chanel jackets is from ATM. It’s so soft and the neckline is really flattering. It comes in white too!

Thanks so much, @KerriKatherine. I just saw this piece in one of the Chanel boutiques but I didn't pay attention to what season it was, so this is very helpful. I think it looks beautiful on you. Since it is Act 1 2020, I think I'll wait for sale, as you suggest. <3

A friend has is. The tweed is beautiful. The color is nice, not so sure about the cut of the jacket. I know these oversized blazers are fashionable, but I don’t like them. I think she sized down.
