mark down period starts this week. I went in for an interim fitting on a skirt and tried on some sale merchandise, none of which worked on me: red taffeta pants (size 40); tulle short sleeves shirt; j’adior twinset; mesh silver skirt with shorts underneath; there were also leopard pullover sweaters; some hats;and, some shoes. also tried on a 30 Montaigne jacket for spring, I think 5100 USD
i ended up getting a tulle skirt (same as @xiaoxiao, only mine is a size 40) and a silk taffeta leopard bar jacket (size 42). Both were not on sale. Tailor suggested hemming the slip higher than the skirt. SA said they were part of the core collection, so will not go on sale. Skirt with brunello turtleneck; jacket with my 30 Montaigne leather skirt; jacket and tulle skirt together. Last pic is my interim alteration skirt
am still waiting to try on a balck on black twin set; a blue frilled tulle mini; and, a silver crinkled leather mini.

Everyone looks so nice in their new find! I am looking to get a macro cannage long jacket . But not sure if I should order 40 or 42. Is Dior coat large size in general or fitting ?my Dior sweater is size 40. But I am afraid I should order bigger size for coat? Thanks for your input!
are you killing me?
gorgeous on you
my SAs, both here and in Amsterdam, say, there is not much left for sale
Is this the coat you're referring to? If so, it runs extremely large in my experience. I'm a size 36 top, 38 in bar jacket and smallest available size in that long jacket was massive on me - Uncle fester aesthetic and not in a good way
. But it's a great jacket and I'm giving it another try since it's back for Summer collection. I would go with a size smaller than your usual size.

@Tasha1 I know, right? Love your picks as always @880. The leopard bar jacket (and the long coat you posted some pages back) are so fabulous. They were nowhere on my radar until I saw them on you

Thanks @Tasha1 and @jp824 and @tanya^luv^purse ! There was not much for sale especially compared to last year. there were some furs from 2017 i think. As for my purchases this time, my SA picked out what I ended up buying
. The tulle skirt and bar jacket were not on my radar at all lol. But, I’m buying heavily in these collections bc I don’t see myself buying winter white featured in cruise or color block for spring summer. my SA does want me to get the octopus dress (@jp824 modeled the skirt in a post above) but that’s all we’re waiting for. There were some nice walk in Dior sneakers, sandals and a velvet croc embossed loafer, but my feet are weird and they didn’t really fit well. I do have my eye on a pair of Dior birkenstocks with pearls all over e straps, but they aren’t on sale.I don’t feel as badly about buying stuff at regular price, bc it trickles in slowly and then is almost gone as soon as it surfaces. I’d rather buy fewer items that I’m sure I will wear a lot.
@fibbi, I agree with @tanya^luv^purse re the macro cannage techno skirts and jackets. They run extremely large. in the skirt, I took a size 40 (as I have a larger waistline for my size; by contrast in the faux techno denim taffeta skirt, I was a 46). Your SA might be able to tell you which one to try. I will say that I don’t find macro cannage techno to be warm, so extra space to layer might be necessary in the winter. . . . also, if you order larger, it can be cut down.
hugs

Thank you @tanya^luv^purse that's the jacket I'm referring to.
If that's the case I'm ordering 40.
@880 I tried the shorter version before but no more my size and yeah I can see the coat is not that warm. I was debating to spend my $ on this jacket or some wool coat (they are around the same price). But wool coat I always need to be more "careful" and plus, winter months here is mostly WET . (it's call rain-couver here with a reason) . The macrocannage coat is a bit water resistant (as it's nylon based) I can wear more casually. It can be dressed up or down. I can also wear spring/autumn. So I think I can see myself wear that more often.
