I am not surprised the printed skirts are not a hot item. IDK why they made them so long and voluminous -- only for the tallest and slenderest among us.

Stumbled on the fall show online. I like some of these pieces 
the long red plaid dress is cute. And the bar jackets appear to be knitted so maybe more forgiving haha. And I like the I say I tee and the sweaters too

They are very glamorous, but impractical and almost a throwback to a time when women didn't work and/or stayed home and did nothing. How can you drive wearing something like this? I have a small car, it would take up all my driver seat space lol!

I don't understand those skirts. I guess I am not their target clientele! LOL!
A woman was wearing a Dior sun ray pleated ankle length skirt Sunday eve at Spring, London. She looked very nice and not so willowy but she was tall (about 5'11'').
I team my (vintage - Ferre era) Bar jacket (mushroom) with a black or brown, straight or A-line skirt if intentionally going formal. Too short skirts (flared or pencil) and suddenly in dodgy '80s territory, too long and I'm wearing a riding habit and lost my mount. Like Chanel jackets I think Dior needs to be mixed-up either textures or formal x casual otherwise it looks too well behaved (on me) . I have one of those transparent organza skits from a couple of years ago and I think they work with polo neck, belt and boots and tight jacket, does not work for me with a tee.
BTW, I don't find Bar jackets look great left open either.
I personally don't find bar jacket look good on me. I am slim with a wider shoulder and bigger chest compared to average in my size. It doesn't look good when I wore it open. It looks good on many just not for me. The best looking item I tried on was the gilet dress. But the fabric is quite thick with no sleeves, the usage is too limited.
It's wool and quite thick wool. It's not so much as stiff but just quite substantial. With short sleeves, it's hard to wear.
Come to think of it, for S/S collection they may be thinner, with silk blend in.
How interesting!! I didn’t realise the skirts weren’t very popular, I thought they were. I find them to be so elegant and ladylike.
The statement skirts are often my favourite pieces from Dior collections
