These are the two I got,

The Ruched Bandeau is numbered. I found the underwire to be much bigger than it should have been. I ordered a 32B but it seemed like a 34B at least. The underwire was just very wide. This one is lined but no padding.

The Twist Front Bandeau is the one that runs XXS, XS, etc. and I got the XS. I wish I had the XXS to compare, because the tie part in the back was definitely too long, but I may have needed the XS to get the coverage I wanted from top to bottom if that makes sense. This one has a padded lining.

Hope this helps, feel free to message me if you want some specifics.

Yea I think I went to the one at fashion show before but I want to say it has closed since then? It has been quite a while so I couldn't remember if it was a nice store.

I am definitely looking forward to Zara too!


And, thanks, Addictista!!

Thank you jordan! I like the JCrew swimsuits but the sizing is killing me

Is anyone here a size 2 in JCrew suit jackets? I'm looking at the size chart, and I should fit a 2 just fine, however I compared it with the BR size chart and it seems BR sizing is smaller-and I even find their size 0 blazer to be too big! I'm about 33/27/39 I believe, but I have slim shoulders and arms. I've completely exhausted finding a suit here in Vancouver for someone who's tall, and I'm not a fan of the grey suits AT is offering in tall sizes right now, so JCrew is my last hope!

meganfm: I think BR runs smaller than J. Crew, it that helps. I don't know how J. Crew's tall sizes run, if that's what you're looking to order. FYI - A good tailor can work wonders - adjusting sleeves, etc. I get everything altered - especially suiting.

I shopped the sale and got the Confetti sweater (finally) and the Cadabra cardigan - free shipping! :D

BR runs at least a full size smaller than J.Crew. I have also found that the J.Crew Size Chart is completey inaccurate, and I always have to size down one size from what the measurements indicate I would wear.

Depending on how you like your suiting to fit, you could probably fit in a 0 based on those measurements if you like it to be a snug, tailored fit.
