Dior RTW

[DR2014]

I have not tried on the bar jacket, but I remember when I tried on a couple dresses pre-pandemic (when I had a more athletic build and more muscle) I could feel the fabric getting tight around my back and shoulders. I also have broad shoulders for my frame so there's a lot of things that may fit the rest of my body...except my shoulders .
Knowing that the bar jacket is supposed to be very fitted, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't fit me. Don't be sad, losing weight consistently over time and being able to keep the weight off is absolutely amazing! It's actually the hardest part for the majority of people, so be proud of your achievement!

Thank you!!

I have the same issue of having broad shoulders for my frame. I didn't get the Bar jacket per se but a gold A/W 2021 take on the classic Bar. I bought a size up but should have probably stuck with a smaller size. I had it tailored and the tailor said it's meant to be fitted/tight at the shoulders with a tailored jacket and as another member explained, the silhouette of the Bar is defined at the waist and flares out at the hips.

I also have the more casual Bar jacket in technical fabric which is a more relaxed fit (excuse the dirty mirror in desperate need of a clean!)

I love that one, it's so cute on you!

Yes, don’t be sad. i think if MGC was really a feminist in terms of design, she would make a bigger waistline

I know exactly how you feel. I lost 20 plus pounds during Covid and I have this problem too. I range in size in dior from 34 sweats; 36 knit stretchy boxy jackets; 38 coats, furs, short hoodie dresses; 40 some skirts, sweaters, tops; 40-42 button down dresses; 42-46 bar jackets. all bc of my athletic waistline and broad shoulders and upper arms.

i also just bought a vintage bar jacket from TRR, size 46. (There is no adequate emoticon for how I felt ordering a size 46) but it’s equivalent to me ordering a TRR vintage Valentino jacket that my dior SA is pretty sure is MGC in size 16. LOL

i tried on a bunch of things including size 42 padded bar jackets (3400 USD); size 38 wrap coat with tone one tone oblique lining (5400 USD); some 38 dresses; some mom jeans size 38, 1300 USD; book totes (size medium is too big for me); jewelry (bracelets 6800-31K; double stranded necklaces 34K and 64K. The grey twill coat lined in white faux shearling was 3400 USD and IMO the white collar and cuffs looked a bit cheap. There was a cropped Persian lamb jacket that was cute, but Persian lamb for 16K USD is beyond ridiculous (JMO though). i ended up buying one item: a cavalry twill skirt (from afar it looks like denim), size 42, 2K USD. And, an unbranded, vintage 1950s, excellent or deadstock condition Persian lamb, mink collar coat from EBAY for 150 USD (that my dior SA thought was very chic lol). The white, grey, black and silver zigzag boucle skirt is vintage from my own closet, chanel, 2002, size 40. (I’m generally a chanel size 40. Hermès size 38-40)

@880, you look so fab!! Did you try on the red hooded dress and lamb jacket too? Any mod shots? I asked (at Bergdorf's Dior) to try the red dress, but they didn't have any sizes that worked. Interesting what a variety of sizes work for you, it's a good lesson for me to not get hung up on the size! Do you shop at the boutique on 57th? I was thinking of going there instead of a department store boutique, I assume they will have more stock? Anyway, thanks for your comments and advice!

I love Dior rtw, but finding them in my size is always a challenge for me. I usually take between a 44 and 46 and with bar jackets, I definitely need a 46. Have you tried the knit bar jacket? That works well for me and gets the most use out of all my jackets. I feel that the knit bar jacket is so versatile and goes with different body types.

Thanks, @jp824 . I am definitely going to try on more, I just tried on the bar jacket, a hooded dress and the long tulle skirt. I am still trying to get up the nerve to buy one or two pieces, lol!!

Thanks! Especially with Dior, don’t be hung up on size lol. As long as my SA and tailor kind of keep track, it’s all good. I thought I took pics of the lamb jacket , but I cannot find them. DH really doesn’t like hot pink, so I passed on the hoodie dress, but I did try on another pink dress on a prior visit if you want to scroll up. Flagship/temp store next to Apple on Fifth is my home store (formerly 57th). Bergdorfs has a lot of stuff too; I think it’s leasedso there is easy transferability to flagship. Hugs

P.S. OT, but hermes spring RTW looks are amazing : sexy, refined, youthful but not young

Finally joining the club after eyeing all of you beautifully modeling this Under The Sea dress…
Bought a few items during the Dec sale but didn’t try this dress on at the time. (I was only focused on the sale items… )
Went in to check out new RTWs and just had to get this dress, amongst some other items.
(Please excuse my leggings, I was too lazy when I tried on the dress)
Thanks for enabling me, fellow Dior RTW lovers. ❤️

I took my Montaigne, palto jacket from 21s, and denim skirt from the recent cruise collection out to tea! I was inspired by Japanese shrine maidens and the new look silhouettes. I think both garments are very comfortable but I need to take the skirt in to get a hook and eye sewn in (it’s heavy and will slightly unzip over time as a word of warning to those looking to buy!).

Happy new year everyone! Just catching up on everyone’s posts and loving all the outfits! I’ve taken a break from TpF over the holidays to focus on some quality time with the family.
Here’s my first rtw purchase for 2022..the macrocannage bar jacket. I actually had my eye on this for some time now but I didn’t really think I needed another black jacket until I realized during my trip that this jacket would have been perfect for traveling. I brought my knit bar jacket, but really wished that I had this jacket with me as well. So glad that my SA was able to find it my size. Debating whether I should get the sleeves shortened or just fold it?

Is this Dior?

I imagine you're referring to the dress, if so it doesn't look like a style I recognise as Dior but I could be wrong
