Can anyone tell me how the swim suits run? I an a 00 or a 0 in pants and a 0 in skirts. Would I want the XS or XXS bottom?

Also, I am a 30C on top and usually an XS... would 32B be the way to go? Are they all going to just be too big? I want one of the strapless styles.

How do J Crew pants fit relative to Banana Republic or Club Monaco pants? I'm looking specifically at the suit slacks.

I have looked at the sizing chart, but find charts tend to be misleading...

I find that they run about a size bigger (but it depends on the exact pant) than BR pants. For example, a 0 BR Sloan fit pant is tight on me and the Super 120's pants in a 0 are a looser fit. I wear a 00 in J.Crew Minnie pants and the skirts in 0 (especially suiting) are loose on me.

Most of my suits are Crew from last year and older and they ran TTS with your regular Crew size. It sounds like you would be an XXS bottom since you are the smallest size in Crew's pants and you said the 0 is sometimes loose on you. Plus I think Crew's XXS is really the old XS. As for the top, I think you should try the 32B and go from there.

Maybe you can order a couple sizes in everything to try and send back what doesn't fit. Crew doesn't carry swimwear in most stores so that's really your best option. I know it's a pain but the swim suits are worth it! They're really cute and made well.

Thanks, addictista, for the swimsuit info. I think I will order the two sizes I think might work and then send one back. I am surprised myself I've never had a crew swim suit, the colors are so pretty!

I just ordered a matinee trench from a store. I was on the fence about paying full price for it when I saw it in a store near DC but I didn't bite. Then it sold out online and then went to backorder, but luckily they still had one. So excited!
