^^^Great post - ITA the cashmere sweaters are poor quality, I resist the urge to buy them each season now because I know how I will regret the purchase after 1 wear.

I finally broke down and ordered the silver mesh knot necklace, hope I love it, it doesnt ship until 4.14!

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

Hey does anyone know how the perfect shirts run sizing wise? I always get nervous when things are sized S,M L because I am always in between and never know where to go.
TIA!!!!

I am in love with the lolli pants but unfortunately the last one sold out today on the site... a size 10. So if anyone sees a size 0,2 or even 4 at their local j. crew PLEASE let me know as soon as possible.

They seem TTS to me - but I bought my shirt before the vanity sizing hit. If the size run is the vanity sizing that starts at XXS then I'd say go up a size because the new vanity sizes seem to run XXS = XS, XS = S and so on. If it's the old sizing that starts at XS, I'd say buy your true size. I have the stretch perfect shirt and it fits nicely. Hope this helps!

I always go up a size in these, especially after washing them even if i dont throw them in the dryer they still seem to shrink a bit. I actually stopped buying them for this reason..

Do you mean "The Perfect Shirt" button up shirts or the Perfect tees?

If you mean the button ups, I find they run TTS generally, but there is some variation depending on fabric. I usually buy a 0 but in some of the fabrics (like the thicker ones or the suckered gingham) I can wear a 2. The smooth dress shirt like fabric ones I prefer a 0. When they aren't numbered (for example the popover versions), I always get an XS. The popover version seems to run a little smaller than the full button downs.

If you're talking about perfect tees, I find they run a bit small. I am an XS in most knits and tees and tanks at J.Crew, but always buy these in S.

cjy - I was referring to the stretch button up perfect shirt in my post. JCrew also has non-stretch perfect button ups and I have no idea how those run.

Also, a trick I use with all button ups is to put fabric tape between the button intervals to prevent any gaping. Even a shirt that fits can do this, so the tape is an easy solution.
