It's been so long since I bought anything from Jcrew. Can someone help with sizing ? I want to order a couple pencil skirts for my clinical rotations but not sure if Jcrew does vanity sizing ? I used to work for BR and I remember our vanity sizing was ridiculous, I often was a 0 when I am more like a 4.
I rarely shop anywhere but I usually wear size 27-28 jeans and just bought a couple dresses from DVF all true size 4 that seem to fit well. Which size should I order ?

I would suggest a 00. I found that it runs really big, especially in the body. I got and returned the 0. I'm 5'9" 115 and usually take a 00 (though sometimes a 00).
Provably a 4. I wear a 24/25 in designer denim and am a 0/00 in J.Crew bottoms. I have to say the J.Crew waist sizes are weird, though. I can do a 25 or even a 26 in the high waisted ones. It also depends on your body shape, their pants are very slim through the thighs and hips so if you are curvy err to the bigger side.cheburashka said:
I've already ordered it, so it's too late. The 00 was backordered until Jan I think - no thanks. I can always have the 0 altered. Most of my clothes need alterations anyways, so Im used to it.
Your welcome^I chose the peacoat because I already own a long wool J Crew coat. I am 5'3", 100 lbs, C cup, so I guess we will see how the 0 fits. Thanks for the info
I went to the warehouse sale yesterday in Lynchburg and it was amazing. it was worth the 3.5 hour drive each way for sure. Between there and the two clearance stores, I got over 1k worth or merchandise for 220. almost all of it was fall or holiday 11, a few things were summer 11. DH got some great things too. If it is feasible to get to one of the distribution centers, definitely consider it, I can't wait until the Richmond regional warehouse sale in January.

Good luck! I did notice some of the colors fit differently so maybe it will work for you as is. It's a really nice pea coat.

good luck on finding one, you may also need a petite. I'm 5'4, 102 lb, and pretty much end up swimming in the 0, 00, and even some of the petites.
J crew is not particuarly petite-friendly despite having a petite line.
I agree, J Crew is a difficult fit for me. I am small but my arms and legs are long relatively speaking. Also I am short-waisted and their models seem to be long-waisted.
I ordered and returned so many things but I kept trying because I always responded visually to their styling. Occasionally I did OK, but only with something like an A-line dress that only has to fit in certain places.
Sorry for quoting you like this, but this makes me really wonder, I'm 112 right now and 5'7. Would 4 fit me or should I try 4 petitie or maybe a size 2 ? I been thinking hard trying to figure out when is the last time I tried something from jcrew and all I remembered is that things were huge when I tried them on.
I mentioned before that I already own a J Crew wool coat. It's a size 0 (not petite) and it fits perfectly. I typically can't wear J Crew pants/skirts/shorts (too big) unless I have them altered, but everything else J Crew fits great. I also own several J Crew blazers in size 0 and they fit good too.
Unless their sizing has change recently, I should be fine. If the coat doesn't fit, I will just alter it
wow!! congrats on your scores!!!
