I seem to recall that an interview somewhere with MGC had her citing this as an inspiration lol
@Tasha1 , short skirt with opaque hose would look lovely on you! Hugs
Very Nice, if you decIDE to get it, tell us if it runs true to size. It’s very pretty for real
Did this Dior sweater run small? Is the quality thick or thin? Do you recommend getting it?
I have the white one, and get so many compliments when I wear it. I bought mine at the end of September, so there were no other colors available back then. I love the look of the black, but I think the white is the best choice for me because it looks so nice with jeans and skirts. But every time I see the black, I want that one too
Either way, you can’t go wrong.
I bought the white one last fall. It was pretty much an impulse purchase since my BFF and I were just browsing RTW at Neimans. I had just purchased a bag the week before, so I wasn’t planning another purchase, but wanted to see if Neimans had a blue and white striped DIOR sweater that was sold out at the DIOR boutique. They didn’t have it either, but the SA was so excited about this one, and asked if I would try it on. So I did. And I LOVED it the moment I tried it on. It is cropped, but not super cropped; the puffed sleeves are subtle, but gives a little extra interest to the sweater.
I am somewhere between 5’4” and 5’5” and weigh around 115 pounds. I usually wear a size 4 in US sizing, but the one I bought was a 38, or US 6. And it was a perfect fit.
It is a wool/cashmere blend (70/30) and a loose knit. It feels wonderful on; not heavy or bulky.
So all in all, this impulse buy turned out to be one of my very favorite purchases.
The suit is actually a hot pink. I don’t know why the Bond St changing room lighting is such. I believe the set is 85% wool, 15% silk mix.
What a glowing review!! Do you think it wld look ok on a woman in her early 40’s, who, imho, looks her age? I always worry I would look like a middle aged woman trying too hard to look younger than her age…. >_<
I am 56, and understand completely. There are many things I just won’t wear, but this particular piece is actually fairly classic in my mind. When the SA first showed me this sweater, I was unsure because of the name across the front, but once I tried it on I was sold. The only thing that might be a concern that it is a bit cropped; but by sizing up, it would probably hit at a lower and more flattering length. I tried on and bought the 38, the 34 probably would have for fine as well, but I am thinking I would not like it because it would have hit higher on the waist. My only other RTW piece from DIOR is another sweater that I purchased before this one. It is a more traditionally cut sweater style, which I bought at least four months before this one, but I have not worn it yet. I going away for a Girls Weekend on Friday, and this white DIOR sweater is already in my suitcase.
And let me honestly say that early 40’s is PRIME TIME! That is when many people, myself included, really come into their own style. It is also a time when many women start to concentrate on what THEY want. I LOVED that time of life!
I wish I can fit in the kids section too I love quite a few things there!
One more thing: I just watched Sophie Shohet YouTube shopping vlog, and she featured two of these sweaters, the pink and navy (dark navy that looks black in some lighting).
She said they are selling out fast in London. She tried both of those colors on, and they both looked fantastic on her. She is very slim, and taller than average, and I noticed the sweater hit higher on the waist than mine.
Here is a link to the video:
I watched her too
The fit depends not only on your size, also on your body proportions.If compare someone with a longer trunk and a shorter trunk but the same height, the garment looks different.
Agree there. I have a very short torso so this would be at my waist, with extra fabric I think. My SA in London also said this sweater is very popular and showed it to me in 2 colours.
me too, so all this oversized stuff makes me bulky
