hi there, I have the knit bar jacket since the spring and can see the jacket will be susceptible to stretching with wear between washes. In the meantime, I have not worn it after a few wears when I realized several buttons fell off. I have been hoping to get replacement buttons through my SA since the summer but no go. I am a bit annoyed because I will need to obscure with a scarf or find other buttons before I can wear it again. :sad:. Any other suggestions are welcome.
It took me six months to get replacement buttons on a dress bc dior sold it to me with buttons that were too big for the button holes. Go back and insist they come up with a solution. BC quite frankly, the buttons may not have been sewn on properly in the first place. (also insist on keeping the original buttons). But be prepared to wait bc apparently the Paris flagship doesn’t give the other stores a supply for replacements.
 
Wow that black jacket is stunning and the red version in the photo earlier is beautiful also. Did you find it wearable? As is, could it be a multi-tasking black jacket or does it wear more like a special occasion piece?
Well honestly I would find it a challenge to wear often, so special occasion for me only. It's very distinctive to this Seville collection but some people will be able to carry it off amazingly. The detail and fit is wonderful. I have a Black hooded Bar from last year (?) which I still haven't worn, so I passed on this one.

I am new to Dior RTW and wanted to know if Dior typically launches their collections online concurrently with their in-store launches and if they share the same distribution system. For example, Chanel RTW is only available in store unless your SA offers to ship an order directly to you. Also, LV ships from their warehouse if you order online and have a separate inventory system than their boutiques. Max Mara atelier ships directly from Italy no warehouse. The reason I am asking is because the Closest boutique is about two hours away and it is a fairly small location with limited selection.
 
Ok let me be really frank. Due to size inconsistencies, I would not risk buying Dior RTW online. I have never done it and when trying on items in person, every season there seems to be huge variations and I am pretty sure it's not me changing sizes between 34 to 38 in a few weeks! I have been a RTW customer in Europe since 2015. I have also read many not so good stories here, about Dior customer service in the US. I am not sure where you are located and I do realise your difficulty. But yes they do seem to launch the collections around the same time in stores and online, pretty sure their inventory are separate. HTH.

I really appreciate your candor. Thank you so much because I think you just saved me a lot of headaches :smile:. A lot of North American stores have very limited RTW pieces even if they do carry the line. Flagships are better though. They have one size in stock and they end up ordering for you anyways. I think I am better off sticking to what I know and what is familiar. Also, this gives me an excuse to make a trip to London. I’ve wanted to check out the new cafe at Harrods and perhaps I could try on the RTW pieces while I am there. Thank you for your insight. Your ecru jacket is beautiful BTW. I will continue to admire all the lovely postings till then!

Thank you kindly. Please visit Harrod's in the next few weeks if you can, as the Dior takeover is amazing per my SAs. They have exclusive mini bags and RTW pieces, as well as the Dior cafe. Have a lovely time and safe travels. PM me if you need a SA name. ;-)

I believe launch is concurrent, but that boutiques do not share same distribution system.
TPF members have shared horror stories about the customer service on line.
Agree with @periogirl28 re size variations. I have found outerwear to run a bit large and classic bar jackets a bit small. I have a thicker waist for my size, and sometimes have to let out or size up
BTW, Dior is an LVMH company.

@periogirl28 , I love your entire outfit, and of course your fabulous bag too :)
