The verdict
Fit
Ribbed knit will cling to the body and the cut-outs add exposure at specific points, so it likely runs fitted — stick with your usual size unless you want more ease.
Quality
Wool knit construction suggests real material investment, but cut-out seams are typically a stress point that can loosen with wear.
Is the price fair?
$247 is mid-to-premium for a dress; reasonable if the wool knit content is doing real work, though the cut-out design also adds cost for styling.
Best for
Someone wanting a fitted, going-out dress with an edgier cut-out detail.
Care
Hand wash or dry clean to avoid shrinking or felting the wool knit.
What owners report about Diesel shorts
Trustpilot reviewers for the diesel.com storefront report recurring construction problems on Diesel's shorts and denim: one buyer specifically noted 'seams come away on shorts' after normal wear, and others describe sizing as inconsistent from one order to the next, needing multiple reorders to land on the right fit. Design-wise, reviewers consistently call out the line's hand-finished washes and hardware -- engraved rivets, embossed patches, metal logo trims -- as its most distinctive strength. The recurring complaint isn't initial fit or styling but durability: reviewers say the shorts don't hold up as long as the price would suggest.
