Im pretty sure my one friend who is really big busted buys a size too big and gets the lower part tailored. so yes, I think you can.


I caved in right before the 25% ended and picked up:

I have the icon trench in the light khaki. It's well made and I love the pleats on the back of the collar. I am 5'2 and it hits about an inch above the knees, which is ideal for me.

Why oh why didn't I buy the gray boulevard trench in a size 0P when they had it in stock???


oh no, I'm sorry you missed it!!!

BTW - your avatar is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

I just received the Station coat and I will be returning it. I am 5'4" with short arms and bought a petite. While the shoulders were the right width. The sleeves were 1/4-1/2 inch too short but the regular sleeves would be too long. The armhole opening was very large on my size. It should have been higher and tighter. The length hit mid thigh on me. The wool was quite nice and soft but didn't seem very thick.

I tailor mine, all the time! Usually, I have my tailor add extra darts in the back, at the waist, since that is where the shirts are biggest on me, but there are a few ways that a good tailor could take them in for you. It shouldn't be a problem.

And to the poster who asked about the Icon trench, I love mine!! I hesitated on buying it for a while, but I am so glad I did- I wear it almost every day. This is hands down the best fitting trench I've ever owned, and I've owned quite a few!

Thanks to all about the tailoring advice. I am on my way today to my trusty tailor. I honestly have was resigned to wear these shirts under sweaters. Doing the Happy Dance. I have to return my Tori dream sweater as it's too big. I love the look of the Professor Blazer but they don't sell it in Tall.

This is great to hear! I couldn't resist the 208.00 price, and I just love the collar on this coat!

I blog on a different fashion site and one of the other girls blogging has a great one coming up about J.Crew and tailored clothing. Would it be appropriate to post this here when the blog goes up or is that against forum rules? I read the preview and it ties right in with this conversation here.
