My mom has your skirt. I asked my dior SA whether it could be taken in. He said the skirt will definitely lose pleating, and he suggested wearing the skirt lower on the hips or waist. Although dior technically can re do the pleating, he said it would cost 2K USD so it was unclear to me whether anyone has ever had it done. I got the vague impression that for a VVIP, the charge might be waived, but dior would strongly prefer not to do it. If I had pursued this inquiry further, I’m sure my SA would suggest my mom give the skirt to me or belt or tuck a top into it.

My dry cleaner did tell me with respect to another skirt (I also have a tulle and cashmere brunello skirt with box pleats) that pleats will not stay permanently crisp if the skirt is tinkered with unless the skirt is entirely synthetic. A specialty dry cleaner may or may not be able to help you but it probably is on a case by case basis.

If you have a superb third party tailor; a strong desire to experiment; and, don’t mind paying for the gamble, I wonder if a seam could be sewn at the top of the pleats and new waist fitted into the slip (thereby holding or stitching the pleats in place). At that point, a new waistband might be cut on the curve of your body and pieced in, but unless you have a strong and trusting tailor relationship, I doubt it would even be attempted. Either of these options entail rebuilding the skirt; changing the look; and creating more structure.

i am having dior redo the sewn in slip on a plumetis tulle skirt (dior makes this dropped waist tulle skirt every season) but it’s easier bc it has a dropped waistband and it’s not being taken in. Essentially dior will reattach a new slip from the inside of the waistband.

For a cocktail dior is hosting for LVMH Hennessy (dior runway look from winter last year) plus the only LV I kept )black and white Stephen Sprouse knitting needle long alma)

Does anyone have the knit bar jacket? The 30 MONTAIGNE black version, specifically. Wondering if you can share how it's held up with wear? Any issues with it losing its shape after a while? Thanks in advance!

I bought the heavy wool version but has to return it- for me it was itchy - I’m not particularly sensitive but this jacket was itchy to me
