It wasn’t this way just a few years ago in 2021. In 2021, Dior SAs* were able to bring items in, no obligation. If you liked them, you would pay at the point of purchase/alteration. I eventually got tired of MGC anyway, but this pre-pay practice is honestly turning me off to the brand in general.

@Love Of My Life, my SA was at a flagship, but I agree with you that my friends who shopped at SAks etc., also had no issues. My SA is no longer at Dior, so I haven’t been back since.
For what it's worth, this is the first time I've worked with this SA and I am a remote client as there is not a store in my state. I have always been hot or cold on MGC, but her last two collections IMO have been some of my favorites.

However, the pricing is proving to be too much for my wallet these days... I'm a little sad I can't justify buying a whole look I loved.

I really love the Dior silk tops at the moment. I need to get the creases out but I can't wait to wear it out. I'll probably pair it woth white trousers rather than blue jeans.

I just worry I'm a bit flat chested.

Please ignore the state of the carpet on the stairs. My cat prefers it to his scratch post 🫣

It looks lovely! Perfect with the blue jeans.

I must admit, I have sticker shock in looking at some posts for the upcoming collection, featuring JW Anderson’s Men’s. How are we feeling about these prices?View attachment 6196100
The prices of these very limited pieces are available because they have to be ordered now, or else they will not be available to the clients at all. Even under Kim Jones, within a few days of a runway presentation, SAs reach out to clients with these "exceptional" pieces (they're often like Haute Couture, or have elements of Haute Couture) so that they can produce only what the demand allows. The Kim Jones "exceptional" pieces are around this price point, too, depending on the amount of embroidery and construction of the piece. The rest of the collection will be available in the "buy book" in a few months, but will not include these pieces.
 
I was hoping for wearable, beautifully crafted women’s pieces that could integrate a bit better with what I already have. The design, quality, and rising prices of MGC’s recent collections has not impressed. However, I very much doubt Jonathan Anderson will pull me back in as a steady rtw regular. Im not exactly taken with his design or the prices so far. Since my Dior SA has left the flagship, I’m not entirely heartbroken at hitting pause/ wait and see.

Some of the female guests at the Dior men's show were wearing Dior looks by Jonathan Anderson (I thought Sabrina Carpenter's look was by Maria Grazia but it's not).These few looks are potentially teasers for what he will offer for womenswear. I think the skirt on the first look is so cute and chic, and styled very casually to dress a Haute Couture style down.
