Thanks, Ladies! It looks like many of the dream blend are online only. Next time they do a 25% off sale online I will have to order a few sizes and try them out. I am all over the place size wise when it comes to J. Crew sweaters.

I just LOVE those new Honeycomb cable sweaters but the shedding of the angora drives me crazy! Somehow, the fibers always get caught in my throat. Good for my wallet, I suppose.
What size do you wear in the other J.Crew sweaters? In my experience, I have always worn an XS in their dream sweaters, no matter the style.
And I am kind of relieved that you say the Honeycomb Sweaters shed. I had to return mine (LOVED the color but it made me look like a linebacker somehow even though I am petite--I think it's the flat chest) but it was so pretty I was kind of sad.
 
I usually wear a small or medium.

Yeah, the Honeycomb made me bulky too. Another reason I passed. I'll just admire them from afar!

I love the knit of the honeycomb sweater but it was awful on me. I looked huge on top. It was short and wide and bulky in all the wrong places. On top of that it had really tight arms. Just a hot mess.
 
Hi Ladies,
does anyone own the J. Crew Minnetonkas that are shearling lined? The ones Garance Doré blogged about:

I really like them but don't know about the size. I'm a true EUR 38, and usually wear 7.5 or 8 in US sizes. Do these stretch out? Should I get a 7 or 8?

Thanks so much! :smile1:

I don't own those particular Minnetonkas, but they do generally run 1 size large.

I have those in black. I got mine last year and they are great! I am usually a US size 8.5, got the Minnetonkas in size 8 and they fit perfectly! I have worn them a lot and they have relaxed but have not stretched at all. I wear mine w/o socks since they are shearling lined. Hope this helps in your decision!
