Dc, that sweater is magic.

Got to see some of the new stuff in person today, I like that there are WAY less ruffles. Still too many sequins, but what are you gonna do, it is J.Crew.

Does anyone know how this dress runs? They canceled my order for the size 2 so I'm hoping the 0 will work since it does not seem too fitting. Thanks in advance to all the Jcrew gurus!!!

DC, I agree, that sweater is TDF.

My store has the dress version as well. I love it, but I know I would get lots more wear out of the sweater.

I am also SUPER excited about these flats! We got the linen colorway earlier this week and I am in love. Very comfortable and TTS. These may temporarily satiate my need for Louboutin whipsnake VP's.

I wasn't feeling many pieces from the Spring collection, but after seeing more pieces in person, I've changed my mind:

This has to be my favorite item:
35778 - Merino confetti stripe sweater

I own it..... its amazing.

Hello ladies, I was wondering if anyone had an opinion of Madewell's silk? Im not a big fan of J Crew's silk, it seems flimsy or something. I just wanted to know whether I should stay away from Madewell's since they are sister companies? Thanks

I own it..... its amazing.

Hi alex.losee, how's the fit of the sweater? do you find it TTS? Please post modeling pics please!

^ I got my regular size, Medium. However, it's a little loose fitting, so I could have gone down.

Anyone with the herringbone schoolboy blazer- how do you fix getting stabbed? The lining is so thin and I keep getting stabbed by little fibers every time I try it on. I bought it to throw on over tanks/tees... so when I've gone to put it on it is so unpleasant I keep taking it off.

Does this go away over time? If I can't fix it or know it will go away, I am going to have to return it, which is a shame because it is very cute.

Here is a pic of the sweater, as you can see, it's a little looser in the torso area...

^ You look great in it!!!!

 

[chloe_chanel]

^ I agree. You look fab. Changed my opinion about it.

Hello everyone, i would love to purchase a long sleeve cashmere tee, can you tell me a little bit about it, there is no store close to me and i would love to order one, but i want to make sure it's worth it, thank you !!!

 

[DC-Cutie]

^ usually for the long sleeve cashmere tees, they are catalog/internet only.

are they worth it, IMO, no. J. Crew's cashmere used to be GREAT (back in '06/07 timeframe). Now the quality is pretty piss poor, lots of pilling after 1 wear for me. I returned 7 that I purchased last season after wearing 2 and getting pilling in the arm pits and boob area. The problem came when J. Crew switched cashmere makers in Italy. They should have left well enough alone **my rant is over - LOL**

You are better off with their merino blend tees that come out every so-often or the sweaters and cardigans

DC - Thank you so much for your help, i don't want to spend that much for a bad quality, makes me sad though, they look very pretty
