Yeah I love the front! I think maybe you are right - there’s not enough pleating at the back and so it just makes my hips look a lot wider than usual (I do actually have wider hips)!

It looks fine on you. I don't notice your hips looking any bigger. The pleats are placed in a very flattering position even on the back.
I don’t think it makes your hips look bigger either, however, you have to be comfortable in it. I’ve tried on pieces that others love on me but I just don’t like on my body for varied reasons. I’m learning that if I don’t like a piece on me from the start that I won’t like it later either. It doesn’t matter what others think, it’s how you feel in your clothing. Clothing should make you feel confident and happy.
Yes! It isn’t cheap either and so got to love it indeed! Other pieces are also slowly trickling in
Can anyone give me info re alterations. Do they give similar seam allowance like Chanel? Are the seams notched on the fitted bar jackets? What is the sizing like compared to Chanel jackets? TIA
Hi! I find the bar jackets more fitted than chanel and cut smaller in the chest. There is very little seam allowance, so I usually need to size up in a bar jacket. HTH
Thanks so much. Confirmed my suspicion. Do the shoulders change that much when you size up?
I actually find the sizing to be inconsistent. I generally size up - agree it is tight in chest area and I find their skirts/dresses to be quite short - but in the recent collection, I mainly took my regular size. I would try these pieces on before buying. It's not really like chanel where I am 95percent same size!.
Some try on looks while I consider using my store credit. The cream dress is so pretty and has box pleats in the middle and both sides hiding the inseam pockets. The signature Dior dove grey used for the original boutique walls makes an appearance in this dress. I really love it. SA says there is a lot of Cruise Batik left in stock including this skirt. Thanks for letting me share.
I find it varies with the season, but it is a noticeable difference typically. For me, this area requires some alterations. When I feel the fit is too complicated to change, I am not as willing to purchase. I do wish the jackets were a bit more forgiving somehow, but the fit is quite specific and not always ideal for busty girls.
