Dior RTW

[oohshinythings]

Is Chanel RTW a lot more expensive than Dior RTW? I know their tweed jackets are very pricey but I'm not sure about other pieces.

Yes, though the gap varies by item - though I have noticed Dior prices creeping up slowly over the last few seasons.

One example of a huge gap: Dior tulle skirt on average is about $4k. The last Chanel tulle skirt I tried on was around $9k, and that was a couple of years ago.

Jackets: Dior classic bar jacket is about $4k, Chanel tweed jacket starts anywhere from $5.5k these days, up to $12-15k for the heavily embellished ones

The easiest is to just compare like for like on the Dior and Chanel French websites. The prices would reflect the huge difference between the brands.

@pigleto972001 I have the wrap version of this skirt from Cruise 2020 collection (posted photos earlier and reposting here pic 1 & 2). I also tried the other two versions. The skirts are all below calf length on 165cm me. All light cotton material and really easy to wear. I am a 34 in the skirts. However, for the wrap skirt, the under layer was loose and the top wrap skirt was tight. So the seamstress had to tighter the inner and loosen the top, go figure!

Thanks ms piggy ! I think the one being sent is the 2600 version versus the 3300 version. Supposedly the 2600 one is shorter ? Not sure if it’s the smaller pleats versus the larger ones. Your pics are helpful too. I wonder about seam allowance will see !

It arrived ! I really quite like it very much. The only thing is the waistband is a touch small. It’s ok once I wear it. I think if I went up a size it would be longer and too poofy. I was glad bc it was the one I was hoping for. The cotton is so nice and the price point is not so bad.

I tried on all 3 as well. The middle one is the best and most flattering imo

@pigleto972001 I hope you bought it!

I agree the one @pigleto972001 chose has the most flattering cut. Notwithstanding, I think all three are pretty and have their own merit. The prints are also different on each version. I picked the one that resonated most with me as I like the signature print of the season and the wrap style.

Really pretty and you rock the skirt for sure. Glad you took it home!

Thanks !! I plan to keep it if the waistband can be tweaked a bit larger. I love the print color and the cotton. It’s fun. I appreciate the advice. Ms piggy the wrap skirt is so pretty ! Love how it is styled. ❤️

Love, love these skirts! Wish they weren't so long as I’m sure toooo long for me (5’3”). I’m curious about the tees though. Do they fit tts? Are they soft fabric? Like the design of the blue and pink but am wondering how comfy they might be.

I am 5”1. You can alter the skirts anyway if they are too long, Dior can do this with no problems. I have 2 t-shirts and they are very soft, comfy and loose fit. They are good quality and keep their shape well after I handwash them. I wear them with my Toile skirts. Here is one look, the skirt length was perfect as it ended up as a long skirt for me.

I’ve always wanted the feminist t shirt but when I tried last year I was between sizes, sigh !

They can alter the T-shirt for your for free if you buy it at the boutique. They have tailors who can pin for you to the size you want.
