Dior RTW

[xiaoxiao]

Thank you so so much!! It’s really funny that you think that 40’s was the golden era, where I, in my 40’s, think 30’s was. Kind of reminds me of “midnight in Paris”.

Well because of your encouragement, I actually went in to try it on. I usually wear 40 in Dior, but this sweater I could do 38. While I absolutely adore the cut, I ultimately passed because of the logo in the front. I have no problem at the back coz I usually hide it anyway but in the front was a bit tough for me to ignore. I did, however, ask my sales to keep an eye for the future collections, should they decide to make a plain one.

Here are a couple of quick shots I took today while deciding. And really, thanks again! I love your perspectives!

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!

It looks amazing on you! But I understand about the logo in front, that was the first thing I thought about too.
And funny you mention the logo on the back - that is the other DIOR sweater I have, which I bought about 6 months before this one, and I have still not worn it yet. But that is because of the flattering fit of this one I think - I tend to think of it first. But I think in the long run, I will get a lot of use out of the logo in the back sweater since it is hard to judge the past two years because most people have not been out of the house very much.

We are sweeter twins!!! Got the light grey one with letters on the back too. I think the new cut indeed is much more flattering, and the dark color is def more slimming. I also liked how it can be layered with a shirt underneath it, but atlas, the lego is just too much for me. Maybe they will come up with one with the lego at the back in the future!

That is awesome, you have excellent taste
And for me, I am enjoying a fantastic mid life crisis (not actually a crisis, just an excuse to shop!) that at my age, if something is flattering, I will overlook the logo on front.

You look wonderful!!! Thank you for being my inspiration.

Well I did go home with a couple of other stuff today… the ever popular light weight down bar jacket in black has become a part of the permanent collection! I had a hard time to choose between my regular size or a size up: ultimately I took the slightly bigger one. Hope when I lose my Covid weight I could wear it with a sweater inside! First pix button up pix is a size up, the second is my regular size. Which one fits better you reckon?

Also I got a pair of black slightly cropped pants. It’s a real struggle to find pants that fit me because of my, um, thighs and tummy so I’m pleasantly surprised those fit alright!

Also tried on a couple of new dresses that came in but wasn’t too crazy about the length so I passed…

Wow that jacket looks incredibly flattering on you, in either size.

Thank you @averagejoe! Glad I sized up - it’s a good car coat when it’s a bit looser.

Very Nice, if you decIDE to get it, tell us if it runs true to size. It’s very pretty for real

Unfortunately it's all sold out. I didn't bother trying =(

Looks good! Is that jacket warm?? I feel like I've asked this question before lol.
Did u get the dior sweater in the end ?

I tried some stuff today when I went to pick up my sweater. I ordered 38 then I changed my mind to get 36 but my SA said it was already sold out in the whole country.. so I just took 38 =( I feel it's a bit loose. After someone here mentioned about the logo, I'm a bit worried that it might look a bit too much ?

Anyway i tried the 2 piece suit with the skort and that skort was sooo short. Could barely cover my butt!!It was size 36 and I could barely zip it up my waist. Which is weird because my Montaigne skort is 36 and fits with some room? Why are the skort sizing so weird.
Also I tried this green dress/jacket and it was so tight! Size 36 and we couldn't tighten the belt around my waist. It looks nice I think but a little too like fashionable? I would feel funny walking around dressing like that. What do you guys think?
I liked the skirt . Is this the print skirt that I see alot of ladies here wearing it ? But it's the shorter version. Tbh the material feels so flimsy? Is it meant to be like that?
Finally I'm not sure about the Mary Jane's. I feel like someone w long legs would suit. The ankle straps make my legs look shorter.

I love the green jacket! But I *think* the pairing skort is a bit short but shoes are nice!
I bought that blue skirt and yes the material is flimsy... I was a bit regretting but I think if I pair with a more sturdy under skirt then it may be better.

Thank you!! It’s a good jacket for the fall or maybe spring, and wld suit winter in Asia but for Europe or the east coast NA I would say one cod even wear it as a middle layer in the winter, under a loose coat (as I am intended to for the upcoming trio).

Sadly I didn’t get the crop sweater, but I’m the future I would def when they come out with a plain version.

Btw I love that green jacket on you!!!! So elegant AND hip at the same time.
