A really beautiful dress, which I don’t need. Hahaha! Saw some nice long gowns too.
This is sooooo nice on you! And I love the shorts. Thanks for posting these very tempting pics.
I tried on dresses from different collections. I am not a fan of their fabrics, very stiff and heavy. Ralf’s dresses appeals me more. Also bar jackets need to be adjusted, too narrow sleeves, Ralf’s ones have a better cut for me. I like present tule skirts, but they are very fragile
Love this dress and I could wear it to work with a scarf to dress it down but it will be too short on me. I’m only 5’6” but most of the dior dresses come mid thigh on me. And there is zero seam allowance to let them down. There was a lot of talk about a female working woman designer knowing better what modern women want in their wardrobes but honestly I do not see it. I wish they would offer more variety and flexibility in their designs.
That’s a fair point. I don’t like that they are cutting corners obviously to reduce costs and increase profits. Seam allowance is a minimum and not everyone wants to have short skirts especially on a work appropriate dress. I do think one or two of the dresses are shown mid-thigh I have one of them, but then I am 5” nothing as you well know. I reckon female designers certainly know what real women want to wear but as in many industries, they may need more clout to ensure their designs get produced how they want it. Mdm Viard is already getting some flake for putting out designs which are too safe and which do not quite give the impact and showmanship provided by Lagerfeld. In the end were his collections all that wearable in real life? I hope the Dior and Chanel designers give us more choice across the board as it would in turn appeal to a wider customer base. I have no comment for Hermes RTW lately. Hahaha off topic.

I suspect that to fit my waist and bust, I will have to size wayyyy up, and then the dress will be too long proportionately, and not as cute. Maybe I will walk over tomorrow and check it out, merely for research purposes, of course.That’s a fair point.

Tell us how your research goes.I suspect that to fit my waist and bust, I will have to size wayyyy up, and then the dress will be too long proportionately, and not as cute. Maybe I will walk over tomorrow and check it out, merely for research purposes, of course.
Do you know whether the third pink dress is still available? I recall seeing something similar a month ago when I was shopping at Dior but I'm not sure whether its from a few seasons ago and hence wouldn't be available now?Yeah I have a bunch of their tulle skirts but also a bunch of their dresses for work
Do you mean the one both periogirl and I got? Should be about 1600 pounds.
Some pieces I have bought this year
