RTW with shorts

Yup good one. I'm certainly looking for a pair. Thank you!

I actually like that Chanel Metiers off the shoulder jacket better...it's more streamlined esp against your new skirt.

I agree with this though the dior one looks stunning on you too! Maybe you can save the dior one for warmer days.

Thank you. I skipped both jackets because I wasn’t sure where I would wear either. My long technical fabric toile skirt is much more casual so better cost per wear.

hi ladies. my Chanel friend 880 sent me here Hi 880!
I'm about to get my first Bar jacket. How I never got one, I don't know. But I wonder if any of you have tailoring advice to share (will work with inhouse tailor but I would love to hear the ladies' perspective.)
Further, aside from tulle skirts and jeans, what others bottoms do you recommend to style with for a less "buttoned up" look?
TIA!

How do you feel in it? My cream Bar needed just a tweak to give it a more perfect hourglass fit. I wanted it closer to the original Dior look so we took it in further. The recent hooded Bar from A/W was perfect in 34. I wear it slightly looser.
For a really classic look, you can get the Montaigne matching line of crepe slim tap pants, 3/4 wide pants, A-line skirt. I think all are pretty smart casual. I wear shorts as it’s more casual and more me. I have Dior sailor style buttoned shorts in the same crepe fabric, bought those on sale.
The Bar can work with jeans, Boyfriend ones would be cool. Long skirts for sure, maybe not as full for me, being a shorty. For me I cannot wear those full pleated denim skirts. It adds a whole amount of bulk. The ones in lighter fabrics are better.
Going to a special Cruise event in a few weeks so if I wear either jacket I will post it here. HTH!

Just waiting around for my SA. Tried on the Dioramour heart shaped pocket skirt. My own top didn’t go with it, so I threw on the Montaigne jacket for fun.

The jacket looks wonderful on you! I just purchased it based off pics and stying suggestions from @880. It’s a very versatile forever piece. So far, I’ve worn it with caramel colored leather pants and with jeans.

Chiming in…
I love the bar jacket, how it fits the body and shows the curves even if I don’t have one. But the silk, wool mix version (formal) looks really serious on me. The single and double breasted.. I tried on a couple of times and never left with it. Until they had the full wool version aka knit looking version.. although weather in my country doEsnt warrant anything in 100% wool, I bought it as the fit was same or perhaps even better on me than the formal one.
I encourage every lady who is eyeing a good jacket to consider the Dior Bar jacket for sure.

the silk, wool mix version

this is the best for me, but it is more solid style, as for a knit version, I would prefer a cardigan
for the next season it would be nice to have a linen bar jacket)))

I'm typically a 34 but for the Bar I plan to go with 36. I'm flat chested but the 34 was suffocating. My other work suits are made to measure with full canvas etc. so they fit me better. The Bar is off the rack so I'll live with it (for instance, the armhole is too big on me) because the waist/hip line is what makes it special.
I have many masculine jackets and as I age (!!) I found myself looking for more feminine lines. The Bar jacket fits that criteria.
Good idea on the Montaigne matching pants etc. I'll ask my SA to show me some. I have a lot of Prada circle skirts and I would imagine these will work also. Cropped/boyfriend jeans with lighter wash will certainly work too.

btw, it's wonderful to see you ladies from the sister thread

You look amazing In Dior bar jacket. Did you size down bc it’s a knit jacket or regular size?

Tried on a few more items today. I only ended up with the knit bar jacket. The plaid skirt is nice but it reminds me too much of a school girl. I also liked the cut of the dress, but I’m not too keen of the pockets on the chest.

Thank you very much! I actually took my regular size. I tried one size down and it would have been fine, but I ended up with my regular size since I did not want it so fitted.

Picked up my fall/winter alternations, and I bought these two Cruise dresses (striped shirt dress, size 42, 4200 USD, and a short hoodie dress, size 38, 3800 USD, and a Cruise houndstooth cropped jacket, size 40, 3600 USD) that my SA picked for me to try. @fibbi, here is the ( fall/winter?) denim dress, size 42, 2600 USD, that he transferred in, which I also bought. I believe it’s the last one in my size, but if you want the info, here is the tag (however any Dior SA will know it as the denim dress without pleats).

the striped dress (third photo) looks tight in the photo, but is super flattering in person. There was also a blue green diamond locket that opened in the back that was gorgeous (they showed it to me bc they know I love beautiful things but such a piece is way way out of my budget and lifestyle). And, I also tried the adorable bag modeled by one of our members on the Dior men’s thread

Love your cruise selections and the denim dress. They all look wonderful on you! The striped dress is the only item that I have requested from the cruise collection so far and hopefully B can find it in my size.

Thanks dear. That’s very helpful. I called today, they are out of black and only have the navy in st. This is such a gorgeous and versatile jacket. I hope Dior keeps it in their regular stock got years to come because I can see I’m going to wear in to the threads!

Thank you very much! I actually took my regular size. I tried one size down and it would have been fine, but I ended up with my regular size since I did not want it so fitted.

At the Dior Haute Joaillerie event, got to wear some Rose Dior Bagatelle and the display Croc micro Lady Dior. My mini Kelly II was, as usual during photos, taken away from me by the RTW manager. My own dress from previous collection.
