I totally agree with this. I wish some of the mens wear could be cut down to fit me.
@xiaoxiao, to your analogy, I think hermes is the spouse; chanel is the established mistress; and Dior is what the young side piece hopes to get (joking of course)

I think Dior prices are considerably less than chanel for skirts, tops, some dresses, and RTW; about the same price (a little higher) than Brunello; and for basics like sweaters and pants, considerably higher than Hermes RTW. At least for the things I choose.

bought a leather jacket (5700 USD) am thinking about a necklace but think it’s way overpriced for what it is (64K USD) (Tried neckalce on with my own Dior denim dress)
rejected a well priced for Dior 2600 USD pleated wax coated denim skirt (too much fabric; possibly the same drape and fit issue as @luckylove); a mini skirt; and a boxy jacket. Also rejected a taffeta dress (the waist was structured like the plaid skirt @TankerToad and like the UTS skirt that @jp824 tried on, and the short sleeves were slimmer than I wanted. Dresses that have a slip bug me bc MGC cuts her slips very narrowly even if the dress billows around them

Also, tried on, loved, a trench lined in burgundy oblique, (it was super flattering and belted almost looked like the classic Dior dress (made my waist vanish and had great lines) but I have too many trench coats that I don’t wear enough. im sorry I thought I took a pic, but cannot find it

@MissV, my SA didn’t seem to think your exact hooded piece would be repeated, but the trench I tried is the newest iteration if that helps. They are cut very differently but both beige/taupe trench like outerwear lined in burgundy oblique. My SA did not think the hooded piece you referenced would be flattering on shorter body types. So if height is an issue (like it is for me) so I would suggest trying it on IRL before deciding.

Hi!!!

Thank you so much for inquiring on my behalf ❤️ I'm about 5'4 and I did find my store had one left in stock. I must admit It's definitely meant for taller girls but I love laid back look of it.
Would you be able to show what your trench looks like? I am also torn on the classic peplum style trench, it's gives a beautiful silhouette.

I went to try on the bar jacket (and other items), I love the look and have been wanting to change/upgrade the way I shop & dress. It was so tight on my waist though! Even after I tried a larger size than normal. I don't have a very defined waist, I have more of an athletic build...
Have others had this experience? I know this sounds silly, but it bummed me out! I am trying not to let it get to me - but I lost almost 30lbs over the past 3 years and trying bigger sizes which still don't work makes me sad, lol.

Anyone have a recommended Dior store in Europe? I prefer paying euros to sterling, but I will endure!

I am obsessed with some of the RTW and now I’m getting back into the office can justify the beauties!

Thanks!

I do have a VERY good salesperson but my stores’ RTW is quite limited and stock is competitive. Having said that, I would love to make the introduction, as I think the salesperson works very hard for his client. Pm me if you are interested!

First of all, congrats in taking charge of your fitness! :woohoo: Recent bar jackets do run small, don’t worry!! I have small shoulders but the waist is also so tight so I always find it hard to fit well without alteration. Besides the size, do you feel good having it on? And also, may I suggest some dresses or skirts? I find them really flattering on. :tup:

The classic Montaigne Bar is meant to be super fitted, her take on the cream New Look corseted version. You might want to upsize and alter or wait for the seasonal versions. They tend to fit more loosely and are more comfy, sometimes in lighter fabrics as well. I know there are many beautifully cut jackets coming for S/S 2022 from the runway show. I would also consider other items as suggested by Xiao Xiao.

Thank you both, @xiaoxiao and @periogirl28 - I appreciate the encouragement! I'm going to try again and also try the seasonal version. Now that I am almost at my goal weight/size, I find I really want beautiful, high quality items, even though it means having fewer items.
