Hi ladies. I also love JCrew but unfortunately I can only wear certain things from that store. I am plus sized so sometimes the sz 16s fit and sometimes they don't.

Anyway, today I purchased the Cashmere-lined leather gloves in ripe avocado (a lime green color.) Do you ladies have any suggestions on how to care for them?

TIA

the waterfall cardi
maya cardi
in rose gold:

then, i went to the store and found this skirt that i've been stalking forever. Originally 150, marked down to 39.99 . I can't find a pic, but they have the ballet flats to match. gold and black brocade skirt w/ pleats in the front and an elastic waist band.

I just bought this:

..in a petite size 4 very last coat available on the planet in blackberry..(love this color and hope it fits!)..I usually take a 2 in reg..do you think it will be sized down do to it being petite..( I am 5'3)... I've never purchased a petite size from J Crew before and was wondering if anyone else has.

Hi klj, I do not have the coat in question but 3 other J.Crew winter coats. I recently had the worst time trying to find the right size Plaza coat which is only available online. My Lady Day and Toggle Coat (no this same one) is a size 4 and fits perfect. I wouldn't call the Plaza coat boxy per se. J just think it's cute really big requiring you to have to size down. The size 4 was just huge. Had to size down multiple times (4 times until I got it right---UGH). I 4, 2P, 2 and 0. The 2P --although it fit perfectly in the body, the sleeves were way too short. I'm 5'2 and 113lbs and thus considered petite by some standards. I ended up going with a regular size 0. The regular 2 could have worked as well though with room fo ra thick sweater but I prefer fitted coats.

With that being said, the 2P will probably be too short for you in the arms. The lesson I learned from all this is: when ordering coats online ordered two sizes the first go round to avoid multiple orders. Driving back and forth the the B&M to return was quite annoying.

HTH

Thanks! ^^^
I ordered the 4P in it and will keep my fingers crossed.
I don't usually order coats online..I have smaller shoulders but have some chest..etc..so I like to make sure it works in person..but this was the very last one..so I pushed the button..lol
I know..sizing can be strange for me with JC..because some things I'm a medium..some a small..some a 0 and some a 2..:smile1:

I had to take back my Chimera jacket in Navy:shucks::crybaby:...It didn't look good on me at ALL then I decided to try the ruffle jacket (in navy) and it fell flat on me too...I'm starting to think me and J Crew jackets are not meant to be:huh:

I love this thread! I recently bought two pairs of the Pixie pants in black and the belted puffer coat in dark slate. I have a very hard time going into a J.Crew and not walking out with something. I love J.Crew so much that I was a J.Crew bride -- I wore the Gracie gown. I wanted something really classic and simple and went everywhere looking. On a whim, I ordered a few gowns from J.Crew and the Gracie was perfect (ordered it in a petite)! I didn't even need alterations.

DC-Cutie -- I love your ruffle jacket! So pretty! Great haul and I LOVE the Tyson's J.Crew. I had planned on going there today to celebrate (I took the GREs yesterday and did really well), but the snow prevented it. I guess I will have to wait until later this week.
