So I have to give J.Crew props for getting my order here quickly and not taking forever... but what is up with the vanity sizing!?
I ordered 3 dresses in a size 0. For reference I am a size 25/26 jeans and size 2 dress in most stuff from places like Sak's/Nordstrom.
NONE of them fit. One was tight in the bust (which is ironic, because I'm a full size bigger on bottom than on top and have no chest), and big in the bottom. One was a little big but weird fitting. The third (that I want so badly to keep- the origami dress) was really big! I pulled fabric in the back and I could have probably several inches cut out of it before it fit.
What is the deal?? Has anyone else had this problem with the dresses?

DF says he likes the origami dress (in dark gray) too, so since I love it I think I'm going to wear it tomorrow and then get it tailored before I wear it again. It is definitely about a size too big, but it still looks pretty good (and certainly better than my other options!)
How should I accesorize? I am definitely wearing black J.Crew tights and black patent J.Crew flats from a few seasons ago that I really like. I was thinking maybe I should run out and get a skinny silver belt to put on it, kind of like the website pic? Or my other thought was I have a long strand pearl necklace that I could make into two long layers? None of my necklaces will work because the neck is so high they all get covered up, so it's either something overtop or no necklace. I don't have to bring a bag, I'll just have DF carry my keys, so that will help.

lol..I ordered mine this afternoon in size 2 Plum...hopefully we each get one!
Now that everyone has mentioned the Colletta coat and I am really liking it - I kind of like the cobble stone color and the plum color too 
I just went into a Jcrew location and used the red phone to order the plum colored coletta coat in a 4P at the sale price of $169.99 less 25% =$127 w/ free shipping.

I usually buy full outfits but I liked this jacket and there weren't many sizes so I just bought it. Help me!!! What do I wear with this? I am a full outfit purchaser and rarely buy pieces because I can never figure out what goes to together. I am really tall so the mini skirts from the Crew are a no can do for me.
Thanks
