Wow I didn't know this came in ombre! Love this and feel like I should've skipped the white one for this one! But as I probably won't be leaving the house for the foreseeable future, I'll probably miss out on the rest of this season.
The sizing has been inconsistent since Kim took over in my experience, or maybe it's the fit, I don't know, but some of the sizes for tops are enormous compared to what I'm used to.
This one is called "regular fit" which is in line with the Dior Homme stuff I used to get. The black Oblique and white Oblique short-sleeve T-shirts are "relaxed fit", which has a huge size difference. I had to alter the length and fit of both of those T-shirts to achieve the same look as this ombre version. Some other pieces in the Spring collection that I tried are huge as well, including the Olique button-down short-sleeve shirt.Wow I didn't know this came in ombre!

And since buying this top yesterday, so many things have changed around me. I wonder if I made the right choice to buy this piece with impending financial problems coming up if the province shuts down due to COVID-19. The store was dead when I got it.
What did you preorder?
Your boutique is always so nice with the little treats. I have never seen that in my boutique in Toronto.
Yeah, my friend always says it's because I'm a fussy client and I take my business to whichever gives me superlative service, and I don't shy away of making my views clear if I get shoddy service...
LOL, I think when we're spending this much money on luxury, EVERYONE (VIP or no) should be treated like a valued client.
Hehe, that's a surprise for another day... WHEN I actually get the damn thing! With Covid-19, I'm not sure how long it's going to take for the item to be delivered from Paris to the Bond Street boutique at this point...
It seems like it's still possible to order online and items sent from the store. I'm actually hoping more items will be available on 24s because of the corona virus. The selection there is usually quite abysmal for Dior both men and women's section.Yeah, my friend always says it's because I'm a fussy client and I take my business to whichever gives me superlative service, and I don't shy away of making my views clear if I get shoddy service...

Yeah, my boutique ordered a piece for me from the Dior website inventory, but it still keeps showing as processing even though payment has been taken etc etc...
Can't wait to find out what it is!Yeah, my friend always says it's because I'm a fussy client and I take my business to whichever gives me superlative service, and I don't shy away of making my views clear if I get shoddy service...

I don't even know if my boutique has macarons and chocolates to offer! They always offer water. At LV, they even offer Diet Coke!
Wow, mine offers me champagne, but since I don't drink, I get Diet Coke. It's to the point now that I get it brought to me when I sit down without even having to ask haha...
I wonder how I'm can bring this up to my SA without sounding demanding! I, too, would like a Diet Coke and treats!
Here's the outfit I wore to the wedding this past weekend (Dior Chiffre Rouge D01, Dior Oblique tie, Dior Oblique CD belt, B23 Sorayama Oblique shoes, and the Saddle Oblique clutch):
Thanks! I actually tried my new tie with this look as well and I think the white colour in that tie doesn't match the beige colour in the navy Oblique fabric. I'll try to wear that tie with a lighter-colour suit next time.
The older tie that I got back in November matched to a T, both in terms of the navy colour with the suit and the beige colours with the Oblique.
Excuse the low resolution picture. I took this bad photo while I was trying to ask my brother which tie went better with my look when I was getting dressed.
They really should be asking you if you'd like something to drink if you've sat down, and looking at potential purchases. Do you have a regular SA? If you do, considering the number of pieces you've purchased, I should expect you to get more attentive service.
