I bought this party dress to wear to a wedding. With the 20% off code it was a great deal:

If this is directed at me, I am not sure. I am terrible at styling and dressy up, I am very casual day to day.
The version of it in my local store is dark gray cotton and has metallic threads running through it, so I don't know waht would go with that. I think I like cotton better than the silk chiffon because that one (even though the blue is beautiful) seems way too dressy for what we are going to be doing.
:lolots:Can anyone tell me if the minnies in black ever go on sale? Also i usually wear a size 8 in banana republic and theory pants. Would i be an 8 in these also?
I got my black minnies on sale, but I think it was a 20% off $150 promo or something along those lines. I did get grey minnies marked down, so definitely the other colors have been marked down.
ETA: They fit in my BR/Theory size, but they're tight!

Thanks for the heads-up on the sweater! I was able to pick it up for $13.99 today 
I just got the Minnie pants. I am usually between a 00, 0, or XXS in J Crew. I tried on the 00 and they fit, but I decided to go with the 0 because even though they are supposed to stretch, they 00's felt too much like leggings to me whereas the 0 were slightly bigger and will look more like pants when they stretch. They are super comfy though. I got them in black and gray. I got the gray in the store on Tuesday and they were on sale for $29.99.
Belladiva- I got black and gray too, and the gray were on sale (but not quite that low- what a deal!). I usually wear a 0 (sometimes a 00) and I found the 0 to be much too big. I bought the 00 and even those seem big after wearing for a while. I think they are tightest through the thigh and loosest through hip butt, so take your measurements in those areas into consideration if you're between sizes.
Yes, it's true to size. I took it in a medium and it hits right below my natural waist line..
Is there anyway that online will price match the instore price?

Even better!
I got the sweater in medium too and fits great! My husband went to the store to pick it up for me and I was afraid of the size since is final sale but it's perfect! I'm thinking to get the navy too.
Two packages yesterday, first, the good.
Got my silver locket FINALLY. They recently sent me an email saying I wouldn't get it the original backorder date (4/14) and it would be later (5/05) but I got it. LOVE.
Got 2.5 swimsuits (one of the bottoms was canceled) and some shorts also. The swimwear is pretty good in quality, but the sizing is abysmal. I ended up with one top that sort of fits but I'm not sure if I love it.
I normally wear a 0 or 00 in J.Crew bottoms, depending on the material. Chino I take 0, stretch I take 00. I would definitely need an XXS bottom. The tops were all over the place. I am a 30C and in the triangle top (without padding) the small was about right. One of the numbered tube top styles I got in a 32B and the wire/cup area were HUGE. I would definitely need a 32A and that would probably be too big. One of the non numbered tube top styles I got in an XS and it is too big around the band (you can tie it tighter but the "tie" stops so you end up tying the actual swimsuit so not as cute, but doable) but if I went down to XXS I think the width of the material wouldn't offer enough coverage. Even tied REALLY tight it does nothing to keep the girls up.
I got navy, bright fuschia/purple, and a blue and white stripe. The navy worked best with my coloring, but the bright fuschia was really pretty too. The blue and white stripe was cute, but I felt like the stripe wasn't actually bright white which bothered me.
Overall the best fitting one was the non numbered tube top style (twist front is the name I think). For anyone else order swim I would probably size down in bottoms and TTS in tops.
