Great choices! I have tried to make those pants work but alas I'm built too close to the ground. They look fabulous on you!!

Laughed at thisYou look like a modern day dior model! Love your choices and envy your length of leg !
also, if you average the price of a Dior t shirt with a chanel t shirt, the numbrr goes way down
Go figure
I’m so NOT a T shirt gal and I buy 2 at once -
I’m going to baby these tops - to me they are both pricey for T-shirts’
But loved both with the pants
Hi guys I just bought the Montaigne 30 skort and was wondering if it comes with a hanger because my sa didn't give me one ?
I also impulsively bought the sailor sweater. Any tips on how to care for diorclothes would be great as this is my first time buying rtw!! I feel so anxious sitting down at restaurants because of it being damaged or stained.

I'm contemplating to get the Montaigne30 skorts too. Do you have a mod pic?
Re clothing care: for the wool/silk dry clean will do wonders, in case of any accidents.
Thank you!! How about the cardigan? I've posted a pic my hubby took but it's kinda far. I regret I didn't take any selfies in the dior change room but I was kinda in a rush .
I love the skort it's soo comfy I was like why does this pants feel so amazing? It's so soft on the inside and I realised it's 100% silk lining! Sorry I'm such a rtw novice. I've bought gucci balenciaga jumpers before but that's it. I'm 35 this year so I was like fk it just spend it on this dior skort. instead of another bag. But omg it feels so soft.
Sorry I know I'm wearing too many logos, but I didn't have a white t shirt to match , all of my t shirts are black. Only had this white one. The rest of my white t shirts are all yellow and ugly probably from being dried in the dryer too much
You looked great! Thanks for the pic.
Is the cardigan cashmere? If so, wash with shampoo with gentle cycle will do. This is how I wash all my cashmere sweaters.
You look adorable! Love the way you styled the skort. If you need hangers, just ask your SA. She may be used to customers asking not to have tissue, shopping bags, hangers etc.
I love RTW, and IMO the key to longevity (some of my own pieces are three decades old, and I also buy vintage deadstock RTW that is even older) is not to dry clean too much and only when you feel it needs it. Find a good dry cleaner and follow his or her recommendations. And do not store clothing in plastic. Clothing needs some air flow and ideally some room. Avoid sun exposure and too much humidity. I never hang knits. As per my allergist, I air out the clothes for a day before storing them (I think his idea was pollen or allergens should be allowed to dissipate, but IDK
if you hand wash sweaters as per @Brooklynite, reblock them and dry flat. I confess, I’d rather have the cleaners handle it bc I’ve had some misshapen results ( but I am extremely uncoordinated re clothing care)

I just wanted to add to the fabulous tips you have received here. If you hand wash your cashmere place it on a thick bath towel and roll it up to remove the excess water, then lay flat to dry. I have been using cotton pillow cases as garment bags when storing items that need protection. As @880 said, plastic is a no no. I have a cedar trunk that I store my cashmere and wool.
Enjoy your pieces! I find designer RTW more fun than handbags. I have some pieces still from the early 1990's
Also love RTW- as much as I love bags I think of them as accessories to my RTW. I get quite attached to myRTW as often I’m reminded of events or happy times I had when wearing certain clothing .I just wanted to add to the fabulous tips you have received here.

Do you hand wash your Dior T shirts too ? Or dry clean them?
OMG! I do too!!!
I think that's why I have pieces from so long ago. I don't have any t shirts anymore, but when I did have a couple from the early 2000's I washed delicate. I was younger and not as careful as I am now. If I was to buy today I would definitely hand wash or spot clean. T shirts just don't seem to last as long as most of the other RTW in my experience.Thanks for all the great tips! I feel that the t shirts are so thin. Which pieces are good to invest in ?
Do you think the cardigan would last for a few years ? I'm a little worried my shorts will not fit in a few years after I get pregnant lol.
I bought a size 36.

I wish I still fit in my RTW from years ago....my size keeps going up (even years) after pregnancy...I thought I would not spend the money on RTW again but really love Dior RTW pieces...
I wouldn’t advise using the black Dior ones as they aren’t breathable I don’t think. The white ones are fine. You should get hangers and garment bags etc on purchase if you need them for Dior RTW. Other brands give only cotton garment bags which are better, Hermes and Chanel for sure. Congrats on your choice, I would do minimal, but regular dry cleaning and so far I have kept all my treasured RTW for years, from my single days until now when DS is a teen. To me every piece is an investment whether it is Uniqlo, Cos or Chanel, Dior as long as it looks good on and feels comfy. I would say for Dior most of us feel a Bar Jacket is something iconic to have in one’s collection. Welcome to the club!
