Hermes RTW

[skybluesky]

The 34 came in and I love it. In fact I wore it out of the store. I honestly think the size 34 could fit someone who is normally 36-38/40 in Chanel or Dior RTW. There is volume in the back, but it is a deliberate silhouette rather than just too much excess fabric. 6450 USD, about 7K plus with tax. @Bdbunny, I think it’s something that might be worth trying on. . .i also saw a black skirt for about 5300 USd, that I will pick up on Monday. I was debating between that and a black skirt at Chanel (flouncy, more rocker chic, less classic) for about the same amount. Next four pics are of an H backless dress (both my SA and DH cringe whenever I gesticulate towards anything backless, so I didn’t bother to ask the price. Also this dress cannot be worn with a bra). And a matching spaghetti strap top that I won’t get (I’m not a fan of thin straps). Which I think was around 2850. I didn’t get any other tags or prices than what is posted here.

ETA: last two pics (Chanel skirt). I take votes, and my Chanel SA and DH prefer the H skirt. But, this search started bc I thought I needed something H for a black tie event Monday, and my H SA said, buy it if you love it, but she prefers my Dior dress for the event. Just wanted to add that once you get to know your SAs, they are certainly capable of giving their honest opinion which is not just to push their brands RTW.

ETA: the advantage of the Chanel skirt is that it would be easier to roll and pack into a cube. And the H skirt would be a bit hard to shorten bc of the embroidery

That jacket looks great on you! I like the H skirt better (even though the Chanel skirt looks great too). Will they be able to alter the H skirt in time, or will they be able to alter it?

Love that jacket😍and definitely prefer the H skirt on you.

Thank you @Purse snob and @Winiebean
Chanel and Dior rtw dresses tend to be more structured (and sometimes more flattering ) than some H rtw ones. At least on my body type.

@Bdbunny , @haute okole , i believe, but am not 💯 sure that the H black skirt also comes in etoupe (I don’t think they had etoupe at our boutique yet. Perhaps BH has it …

Doing a high low look. My new pajama pants in Vert Bouteille with a blouse from Aritzia. The pants are a gorgeous forest green. I just received them so I’m just trying them on, and obviously they need to be hemmed LOL.

LOVE this green color on you! My SA ordered the same pants in etoupe for me, I had no idea this green color existed too! Hmmmm...

I’m obsessed with all the pajama pants and this is my 4th pair this year! (Not counting the cropped ones LOL) They are so comfortable and are perfect for travel- both for sitting long hours on a plane and they pack well. I find them to be wrinkle resistant and they take up no room in my suitcase.

Here’s the tag

How do you find the fit? My SA was only able to find 36, I'm wondering if it'll be too big.

@880 and @Bdbunny! My greatest joy is being a 1/3 triplet with you. Maybe I am in the minority, but I love the Chanel skirt more but it is similar to your Dior skirt…. The H long skirt is gorgeous too, but I would not want to hem away the design at the bottom. Could they do something to the waist to save the design at the bottom?

I recently went to have fancy Tea at the Peninsula in BH. This is one of the don’t miss experiences if you have Hermes RTW and are into girlie girlie BH experiences. So fun!

You look fabulous and so chic! I may have to check these pants out, they look so comfortable and I could dress them up or down...

Whoa mama!!! You look amazing! That skirt is sooooo cute on you! It’s classy and sophisticated, yet so fun and young! (How did I miss this skirt?!!) Love the K25 sellier as well. Perfect with the whole look!! Happy birthday dear!

I love those boots! They just don’t fit me well. Even considered cutting them. I’m a tad short. I tried them on again last week - just in case I grew since the last time. 😜.

Looking amazing as always

How do you find the fit? My SA was only able to find 36, I'm wondering if it'll be too big.

My other pairs are actually 36. When I had them hemmed by the H tailor, I also asked him to take in the waist a little. So it will probably be a little big but easily fixed! When my SA said he had these in a 34, I grabbed them!

@Bdbunny , love the new pants

Thank you @Mrs.Hermess

That jacket looks great on you! I like the H skirt better (even though the Chanel skirt looks great too). Will they be able to alter the H skirt in time, or will they be able to alter it?

Thank you. I decided not to alter the skirt, but the tailor said alteration would not be an issue in the future, bc the embroidery / beadwork is machine appliqué. (Which is incidentally why it’s a relatively reasonable 5300 usd (relative in H pricing world, not the real world). If it were actually embroidered, it would be too expensive for me to justify cost per wear. This is a wrap skirt, and a snap or pin should be added so the skirt doesn’t blow open in a gust of wind. Here is the tailor pin up in case anyone is interested. The reason why I decided not to shorten was bc I wanted a long skirt that I could dress up or down with a white shirt (kind of the style of Carolina Herrera). I have a lot of midi skirts but this is more dramatic, and dressier long. At the same time, I could see this dressed down with a ribbed tank top and flip flops.

Re interesting RTW etiquette. I try to wear H RTW to an h event, or even, mixed with other designers, when visit8ng the store. (Mainly to show appreciation and to give my SA ideas as to how I like to combine things). I had originally thought to buy this skirt bc we were invited to a black tie event where Hermes had bought a few tables*. But, I was told there was no need to wear Hermes as it was not an Hermes event (like the recent Act II runway), nor was Hermes an official named sponsor. The two couples I met at the table were also invited bc they were H clients and neither woman was wearing any Hermes (not even bags which I did think was curious). I ended up wearing a vintage H bag with a Dior dress (I’ll post in H in action). Re sizing, I’m 5’2” and this skirt waist measures about 30 inches, and roughly 37.5 inches long, from the natural (high) waist to the hem. HTH


ETA: shoes are this seasons Dior (they run large, so I bought a 37. I’m normally a 37 Manolo; 37.5 Hermes; 37.5 Chanel ballet. White poplin shirt, size small and silk striped shirt, size XS, both charvet pret). Forgot to add, my SA and DH wanted me to shorten, bc I’m a clutz; don’t often wear heels; and tend to trip over my own feet. The tailor and my romantic notion of a long silk skirt prevailed, but if I stumble and cause injury, I will never hear thr end of it lol

*and bc this is one of those classic items that I can imagine wearing for years, so potential for great cost per wear.
Note: I am not the best at measuring things, so please do your own dd re sizing. This is just to give a general idea.
Machine appliqué also means that this skirt is likely rollable and packable, but ymmv on that.

That skirt is really pretty on you. I especially like it with the white blouse and the shoes. Very elegant!
