Missed the 30% sale tonight by less than an hour. Customer service was totally unhelpful bordering on curt when I called asking for them to give me the discount, as a one time courtesy. I was very put off ordering from them in the future due to their behavior, which is a shame considering how much I like their style. :push:

I like the men's stuff too! At the factory store they had a great shawl collar cardigan and I tried it on in a S and I think I'm going to go back and get it. It's a little big but it looks like a great grandpa cardigan type thing. I wish they had XS, but they don't at the factory store. I am going to be checking out all of the men's sweater in XS now.

Haha, I'm totally doing that now too. Every time I go in, I go for men's. But not every store has men's! And their scarves and belts are amazing too :D

I can really use some advice. During the 25% promo, I ordered a couple items that I'm unsure of sizing.
I ordered a 6 & 8 in the corduroy pencil skirt. The 8 is big in the waist and loose on the hips, the 6 is fitted all the way down. Should I expect this to stretch out? I have bought so many Jcrew items that fit perfectly when new but after a few wears are too big.

Another item I'm struggling with are the corduroy trousers. I ordered a size 6. Again, it's a tad big in the waist but fitted in my lower hips and thighs. I'm afraid of exchanging for a smaller size incase they're too small. Any thoughts or advice?

I have the corduroy pencil skirt and it doesn't stretch. If you feel that it is too tight, then you might want to go with the 8 and have the waist taken in by a seamstress.

Some recent purchases...No. 2 pencil skirts and talia top.

The shirt fits so nicely.

I find that corduroy really stretches as you wear it, so I would probably err with going too small than too big.

I'm aware. I could have done without the attitude, though - I understand they don't have to, but there's a better way to say it than they did. It was a case of "it's not what they said, it's how they said it."

Darn... I'm wearing the 8 today. Well, I'll try throwing it into the dryer. If that doesn't work, I'll have my mom (seamstress) bring it in a bit at the waist. Hopefully it won't look like I'm wearing my mothers clothes by the end of the day.
