Did you get the grey leopard print jacket as well (two pic before the last pic)? It looks great!
thanks so much @fibbi ! That one is a taupe and black wool knit (styled like a western denim jacket, size 36), fall winter 2021, that I wore into the boutique. I bought it in May full price about 2750 USD or thereabouts, so it was much less expensive than a bar jacket. The last pic is the silk taffeta leopard bar jacket, size 42. I bought it with the plumetis tulle skirt, in early December, and was just double checking the final alteration before delivery. (Full price alternations have not always been delivered in the order of purchase, and this was really delayed, but nothing like chanel delays)

It is somewhat slippery and smooth like synthetic blend taffeta. the leopard has a kind of holographic sheen. It’s not soft like silk charmeuse; there is some stiffness and structure to the fabric. But, the label indicates 100% silk.

Thanks for your detailed answer, I assume I am familiar with this fabric. The colour is gorgeous, wear it joyfully.

i went to try on my silk taffeta leopard bar jacket from alternations (last pic) . Just asked my SA if price increase applied to RTW and what percentage. He said for some pieces, not across the board, not seasonals. He thinks for 30 Montaigne yes, some increasem but he‘d have to check. He didn’t give me any percentages lol. Bag prices certainly: a Mini Lady Dior used to be $4,300 and now it’s $4,900. Book totes used to be $3,250 now it’s $3,500

outerwear coats I tried on were 5400-5700 USD (but I didn’t see a price on the reversible shearling; hooded bar 6100 USD; blouses 1300 USD; and, I think those prices were roughly the same as pre increase. Pearl East west LD was around 8K USD; small book tote 3500 USD. The fringed appliqued t shirt, size medium (only item I bought) 1300 USD. Prices are approximate. Shearling jacket is reversible to beige. Sizes are all roughly size 40, including the bar jacket, which means this particular bar jacket runs large. Bottom left jacket in the first pic belongs to DH.

SA also wanted me to try on the Uber expensive, almost couture mens crystal feather embroidered coat. Upwards of 100K, IDK.

Well there goes of my impression how affordable dior was :lol: all jokes aside it was AMAZING on you. But you better wear it everyday to make it cost per wear worthy. On the other hand… what a piece to pass down with! :nuts:

Has anyone tried the pink peony cape dress ? It's sold out.

Hi! I have tried it. I am only 5'2 and it was very, very short. I love mini's but felt it was even too short for me. My SA really felt it was more of a top than a dress because even petite women were finding it way too short. He recommended wearing it with white jeans or as a chic bathing suit coverup. :) The colors are lovely in it. On the other hand, Dior also produced this cape style dress in the under the sea octopus print with the same cut. I have that one and though still short, I can definitely pull that one off.

Are you referring to the sportswear? I'm told the block and the exercise ball is a collaboration with the Italian company Technogym. My SA mentioned they have an event next week that he would have liked to invite me to but I'm nowhere near and wouldn't be able to make a last minute trip :sad:
The bag and the shoes in the last photo.

You look fab in your new silk taffeta bar!!
That feather cape actually looks really remarkable on you - but seriously where and how could one wear it ??
Love that you are such a wonderful Dior brand ambassador

Wow! I was just browsing the "celebs in Dior" and I have to say the Spring collection skirt length is sooooo skimpy even for these very slim celebs. I feel like the length might just work on shorties like me who are 5'4 or less....
