Dior RTW

[880]

Hi! Does anyone know if we can bring in stuff to alter that we purchased at another boutique. I am okay with paying for alterations. For example I bought something in Europe can it be altered in a us boutique. Thanks!

Yes, but the wait is sometimes untenable, so I also have a third party tailor

@xiaoxiao, I changed my mind and ended up with the navy tulle skirt (thinking of wearing it with combat boots too.

re the under the sea button down dress, if it helps anyone figure out sizes, I’m normally a size 42 in button down dresses (denim, khaki, striped), and I took a size 40 in UTS. I’m a 38 in techo taffeta hoodie dresses

With the high quality level of customer service I've had, I imagine as long as you can show recent proof of purchase this would be fine, but it will depend on how busy the tailors are. I'd had a jacket tailored for free, but then again I'd had it tailored at the store I purchased it from long distance, so my SA arranged for a fitting with the tailor when I was next in London two months after my jacket was delivered to me. Worth asking the store you're planning on visiting if it can be accommodated

@michi_chi @880 thank you guys! I’m thinking of asking someone to help me something not availble in Canada that would likely not need tailoring but I would like the option if I needed it. I will give a call to a boutique as I am in no rush to get it. I have not found a third party tailor that I love the work of. I think for shortening and tailoring a dress shirt it has been fine, but the main thing is making the waist of a skirt tighter, it never comes back tighter for some reason.

brilliant. Absolutely brilliant! I was actually also eyeing the navy one as well online, but lemme see if I can grab on in the store…. I loved it on you.

I picked up Dior sale plaid hat; plaid vest; and navy stretch 30 Montaigne shorts (size 36 and 38 both fit, but I settled on 38). Also purchased the under the sea dress (size 40) and pearl birkenstock style sandals 37; they run large) from Current collection

The rest below were rejects: sale navy tulle mini skirt (too ballerina); knit bar jacket (38 ran very large and was saggy ) and matching size 36 knit top; t shirt (made my medium build look too square shaped); under the sea skirt and size 34 top (too much volume — these ran big) (grey leopard denim jacket and leopard skirt, my own)

The under the sea shirt dress is perfection on you. Super flattering.

I have this problem too even with head tailor at dior. My waist measurement hasn’t changed; my shape hasn’t changed; yet the skirt that ive had two interim fittings on can also be worn as a strapless dress. I’m pretty sure that is not how it’s supposed to be lol. Dior tailor keeps saying I’ve lost weight, but my scale and tape measure sadly don’t lie. (last two pics, the skirt is cinched in by the belt and it paper bags on the top without the belt. So, it may have to go to my third party tailor bc there I can get turnaround in a couple of days. Not a couple of weeks.

thank you for your kind words, @Brooklynite, @Tasha1 , @TankerToad, @fibbi, @xiaoxiao, @papertiger, all

You know, it's actually really cute as a dress

Agree with @Brooklynite it does make a nice strapless dress on you.

I love the dress! It looks very nice on you! I was hoping to find it when we went out of town over Thanksgiving. Unfortunately I didn't. I didn't care for the shirt version or the striped printed one you showed. Those did not flatter me at all.

Dropped by the boutique a few days ago. Black winter coat is from a few years ago, but I really love the amazing shape it gives, especially to my waist. Really wish Dior winter made more heavier weight clothes!!

Also picked up a cropped bar jacket that looked amazing with the turtleneck I had on. It was part of the boutique markdown.
I'm also thinking about the Under the Sea skirt (the store unfortunately didn't have my exact size), but debating between that and the 30M shift dress...

Wow! Those look incredibly flattering on you!

Thank you!! Dior RTW is incredibly underrated, and the construction of the garments (down to each panel and seams) is amazing. Forever pieces for sure.

any thoughts on pre fall 2022

I think there are a few cute and wearable pieces here and there. But to be blunt, Dior today has no romance, fantasy, or imagination.
Galliano's Dior was all about fantasy. It was glorious! (yes some were tacky.)
Now they are well made basics. Nothing is special to the Galliano level.
Just my humble opinion...
