Generally no, to this. That claim is particularly Chanel's. It isn't always true for Chanel RTW, either. Mainly just refers to the classic Chanel jacket with the panel construction.
I think it really depends on the piece. My macrocanage jacket is taken up a bit but not as much as I thought. But the denim pleat skirt ...It got upsize a few inches...I guess at least 2 sizes...
Got to wear my silk shirt today - can it be that Spring is finally here to stay?!
hopefully someone who is a size 34 will chime in. that persons reply will of course be much more accurate than mine.
I do not have this coat, but I have two off the shoulder double breasted pieces : a top that dior called a sleeveless jacket ans a dress. I generally take the same size in dior Montaigne as I do in a chanel jacket (size 40)
I find that dior waists run very small and the sizing is extremely variable (I have jackets from size 36-42)
in a standard bar jacket, I sometimes size up to a 42 solely bc of the small waist, but I have a silk taffeta bar that is a 40
there is very little seam allowance compared to chanel. Letting something out at dior is done on a case by case basis in consultation with the head tailor at flagship. It takes a long time and sometimes requires interim fittings. if your item is double breasted, there is a chance that the buttons can be moved, but if it’s a flat finish fabric there may be marks that show.
the buttons on a dior jacket, even a bar jacket or a Montaigne piece also vary considerably, but they are not finished or embellished like chanel. it has taken months for me to get fabric covered buttons in the correct size to replace current buttons that do not fit and stress the buttonholes, and my items are all from the boutique (I was told they had to get the buttons from Paris ; I was like, really?
if you are not certain of the measurements, and/or if this item is not returnable, I would strongly suggest passing
JMO AND YMMV

I want to add that the garments from the same collection don't fit one size.
My short skirt (S/S2022) is size 40, I managed to fit size 38 but tight, and I couldn't zip another skirt from the same collection size 38 ( I have also size 38) even my waist is 26 inches. The dress size 40 was small in waist at all.The same ado with a bar jacket, depends on a season, either perfect fit or should be altered.
even a T-shirt

Thank you both 880 and Tasha1 for your advice. I purchased the coat as it is returnable and thought it was worth trying. Love the style and material and haven’t seen many around like this. It’s a snug fit but I can do the buttons up - look is very slimming and feminine. Can wear a thin layer under (shirt or bodysuit). Might slightly move the buttons without altering the look. Buttons rather non descript. Would welcome any feedback and info - I think this is from 2018 but can’t find exact images from anywhere.
In my case it was whether the coat could be taken up a size as I thought 34 might be a bit small - as it turns out there is not enough fabric to do this as the seams are very precisely sewn. I guess that mantra really does belong to the Chanel jackets
Thank you so much for your kind wordsOh my goodness you look MEGA!!! Absolutely stunning and fit just right.
