You have made my day. Thank you^DC-Cutie, you look like a goddess
Thanks, Noe...
Nat - did you check online. The Georgetown store had all the colors and from what I remember (this past weekend) plenty of sizes.
I ordered a Medium. I'm 5'6.5", I think that in order for the dress not to drag, it would best fit someone 5'8" and up... I don't mind it dragging and I'm not sure if it will shrink at all once washed, like the Gypsy 05 dresses did.
i bought the shirred racerback dress during the 20% off knits promo. i am also 5"6 and the dress is super long, and i would most likely be wearing only flip flops with it. the hem is unfinished which makes me think that i might just have it altered to be a knee length dress. i got the abyss blue and i love the top half of the dress...so its hard for me to take back.
i think it will look fine. i am going to wash mine tonight and then maybe cut off some length tomorrow. the edge is seriously unfinished. i can't imagine that it would hold up well if it stayed floor length.
Argh! DC, I came SO close to getting that dress in that color today, but took it out of my cart at the last minute. Boo! They wouldn't let me add it to my order, and I refuse to pay double shipping. Guess I'll just have to live without it.
So I totally caved on the 20% off regular price code...sucks eggs that there's no free shipping on this one, though. But I did get a bunch of stuff that I needed for work and otherwise (and one or two fun things managed to sneak their way in there). No judging, please

Thanks Baltimore, I'm gonna go to the store and see if they have it. I hate paying for shipping!!!
it just occurred to me since i purchased it at full price that i could take the dress to the store and have them alter it for free since i am a card member.
I recently ordered the Silk Chiffon Whitney Gown in Black. I'm 5-8 and a US size 14. I ordered a size 14 and the internal corset the bottom band measured 33.5" around where the rib cage sits. That seems really really small especially for a size 14. I've got small shoulders and a small rib cage (34.5") and managed to squeeze into the dress but it was very uncomfortable. So my question would be Do all the sizes have the same internal "corsets" measurement? I'm thinking of maybe ordering a size 16 but IDK if it'll help.
samhainophobia- Great picks!

Haha...yep! Kind of embarrassing when you look at it all together, but damn, when you completely change sizes and have to replace your entire wardrobe because you can't fit into any of your clothes anymore, you wind up buying a metric ton of stuff!
baltimore, did the dress shrink at all after washing? My Gypsy 05 maxi shrunk a bit...started out way too long, and then after I washed it it got to a point where it was tolerable with flip-flops. Good call on the free alterations, though!
I'm so bummed. I just received notice that the dress I ordered is out of stock. I needed it for this Saturday and I don't want to have to go out and get something else. I've never had this happen with the crew but I'm seriously irritated.
what dress (style number or link), color ans size do you need? I'm going to J. Crew at lunch and don't mind looking for you. The store can ship to you.
