My store thinks they are getting it in within the next week, so I'll get it then so I can try it on. If I see it before you do, I'll let you know how it fits. Its perfect for winter into spring, and even on some summer days, and I like that the ruffles are finished, not raw edged, because it looks perfect with the destroyed denim shorts!

I agree that it is a fabulous shirt. The design is great and it is totally worth $98. It looks so much more expensive than that.

I tried it on this am :yahoo::yahoo: Pure perfection. I like that the ruffles are at an angle and not straight across, more forgiving that way. But at $98, I had my SA hold until tomorrow so I can sleep on it. She said they were going fast and not expected to be back once the stock is gone.. So if you like it, you better get it now and return later.

DC - how did it fit? I am trying to decide if I should get a S or M. On the model it looks like it is roomy, but hard to tell if she sized up to get that loose look or if that is the fit. I'm usually a 6 in most tops, but tend to wear smalls in most items in JC.

Ooh DC - since you are calling it pure perfection then i must order it! I don't want to miss out on it in stores! I think I'll get the XS...not sure if I want it fitted or not..can a cardigan be worn over it??

Ok, I just called regarding the Sweeping Ruffles Shirt - here's what I learned
A size small has shoulder measurements of 15 1/2 inches, medium is 16 1/2
The bust measurements for small is 39 inches, Medium is 40
Its meant to be a looser fitting shirt.

And, I learned that the big new arrival roll out in most stores will happen on Jan 25th.

Hope this helps anyone on the fence about this shirt, I have officially placed my order :love:

yellow08 - Yes, Ma'am I will post modeling pics. I actually picked it up before I left work, but I's tired so I'll take pics tomorrow

TxGlam - for layering, it might be tricky. But the J Crew way is "everything is layer-able", so in the words of Tim Gunn "Make it work" - LOL

Needanotherbag - As for sizing, I'm normally a Medium in all J Crew tops, for this one, I had to size down. For sizing purposes, I'm a 36C and the Small fits perfect w/a little wiggle room.

I think its adorable, but depending on your size, I think the ruffles could overwhelm...

you have to be like a size 0 or 2 to pull this one off. If you have anything that resembles a booty, leave it on the rack. The dress looks fine from the front, but the placement of the ruffles in the back accentuates your maximus.

Also, it's short. I'm 5'6.5" and it came above my knees with little room for bending over - not a good look.

I soooooooo wanted this dress to work for me.
