Has anyone seen the Maritime dress in person or tried it on? What do you think of it?

I have both colors, wore the navy to the office yesterday:

It's a very comfortable dress (that's why I decided to get both colors), you could probably size down and still have room.

Has anyone seen the Eddie Borgo collection? How are the bracelets? I think it is supposed to be online only.....

D, only certain stores will get the CFDA collections (Lenox, unfortunately, isn't one of them). Some stores are for sure getting the Prabal and Billy Reid pieces, but I am not 100% about the Eddie Borgo collection. I can post this evening with the stores that WILL receive them, though... we got a memo about who the lucky ones are.

Edit: Eddie Borgo pieces will also be available in select stores. ;)

I fell for the free shipping. I always fall for this, which is better than the "spend $X more for free shipping" I suppose! ;)

Anyway, a new cashmere sweater (which I had been toying with forever!) and some boring tee-shirts are coming my way.

DC Cutie, wow it looks great on you.
I ordered this dress when it first came out and it didn't work on me at all. I am hard to fit in a dress (very short-waisted and narrow on top) I got the S and really needed the XS. It was not cut right for my figure somehow. And the material felt too thick to me.
I like the dress belted.

Thanks so much for the response, Indy! :hugs: I always like to go see everything in person & touch/try on before I order:smile1: If Lenox isn't getting them, I am sure GA will be passed over completely....that always seems to be the case for us.

DC Cutie your picture inspired me to try this dress again. The J crew website has the navy in both XS and XXS, and I decided that in this darker color combination I could take it into early fall with tights and maybe even boots. I just ordered both sizes and am now crossing my fingers.

(I think I got the tri-buckle belt because of you, too, earlier in the year. I love the belt, so I do trust your recommendation!)

Very cute DC!!!

How is the sizing on it?

My SA was trying to get me to try it this past weekend (she had it on it the lighter blue/white stripe) but I was short on time. My SA found the Blouson dress for me and only had time to pick that up.'

Tamarind - glad I could be of enabling assistance ;) Let me know how it works out for you
Yellow - the sizing is quite generous, I went down to a S and I even tried on a XS (it fit just as fine, but it was shorter). Normally, I'm a M in J Crew dresses. The fabric colorway (navy) is a little thicker than the lighter blue, but the fit is the same.

Thanks for the compliments :hugs:
