Hi All! So I'm pretty new to J. Crew... but I really wanted to stop wearing everything from Express to work every day! So I was looking into skirts/dresses/suits from J. Crew. I really don't have much time to go to the J. Crew and try a bunch of these on... so I was wondering how their sizing is...? I'm generally a small for tops at Express and a size 4 or so for bottoms at Express...
I'm specifically looking at these:

I was hoping to order them online, since they are on sale, etc. Any thoughts/responses? TIA!
I would say (from my limited experience with Express sizing in the last few years) that J.Crew runs smaller, maybe as much as a full size. I would say in tops I would probably buy an XS or S at express and I buy an XXS or XS at J.Crew. Bottoms may not run quite as big but it is going to depend on the specific pair.
Also, unless you are in a major metropolitan area or somewhere else with a huge J.Crew, don't bother going in to try this stuff on because a lot of J.Crew stores don't carry suiting in store.
Why am I super late? :shame:The Blouson dress is so cute!

This weekend I went shopping with some friends and the SA was wearing the Blouson dress (black/white) and I fell in love. Come to find out it's sold out and on back-order online. I did manage to order it on-lline with an expected shipping of July 30thAlso the size 6 is GONE!!! I'm hoping the 8 won't be too big. The 4 would be wishful thinking at this point (although, I'm dropping weight I'm afraid the 4 might be pushing it because I'm more athletic built)
I tried on the pink version, it's cute but I feel the black/white one can be worn into the fall and early winter with tights and cardi's/blazers *sigh* The SA was rocking it with a jean jacket/patent thong sandals and JC jewelry-super cute!
I really wanted to love this dress but I felt like an inmate in it with the black and white stripes. I just don't think horizontal stripes do much for me even though I am small.
