Hi chicjen, my fellow IM lover.:smile1: I have the pixie in size 2 and love them! They are supposed to very tight and they will give as you wear them but not too much so they will never get baggy. I love the zipper up the back. I don't notice CT on me, but you definetely don't want the baggy. I usually wear mine with a longer sweater or tunic top though.

Hi, all :)

I'm a big J.Crew fan, but this is my first time posting in this thread. I was hoping you all could help me out. The SA's at my local store are all older ladies, and not very helpful :(

I've been lusting after the Pixie pants for a few seasons, and I'm stuck between sizes. Not quite sure how they're supposed to fit...

A 4 is totally comfortable, but saggy in the crotch. The waist fits perfect but everything else is loose.

A 2 requires a dance to get into, but once they're on, they're comfortable, too. The only thing is I think they may do a little camel toe :/

Which should I go for? Do they maintain their shape? Or should I just pass?

Thanks! :flowers:

Has anyone ordered the double serge pencil skirt in bright blue? I know it waitlisted, but usually they provide a date. It just says waitlisted so who knows when I will get it.

i ordered it some time ago - the last sale, i believe. it arrived a few weeks later (i'm in canada though). it will be so worth it when you get it! gorgeous colour.

Try the Minnie - I love the fit! And size down with that one. :)

I went a little "crewzy" with the current promo...I ordered the double serge pencil skirts in a couple of colors, the puffer jacket and the stadium cloth blvd trench in black(really want the saddle too) and finally a bunch of enamel bracelets...they're killing me with all these promos. It seems like the more I buy stuff on my wish list the longer the list grows. I have a long list for the kids and DH too...

DC-Cutie, Dukeprincess, saira1214, jordanjordan, Chanel 0407, Greentea, thank you all!!!

I'll definitely try the Minnie- I've tried it in the past, and was unhappy with how they fit. If the Pixie is going to give a tiny, tiny bit, I might go with the 2. I'm planning on wearing them with longer tops, but am SO turned off by the CT :/ I've been looking for tight, tight legging type pants to wear and aren't see through- so hopefully one of these works out :)

PS: Chanel, after reading some of your posts here as well as on the IM thread, I'm pretty sure we have almost the exact taste in clothes and we're practically the same size :p

I find most JCrew pants to stretch quite a bit. I have some skinny cargos that really stretched in the hip area. I think you'll be fine with the 2.

During the sale I ordered:

wool mini in decadent red and stone
perfect shirt in blue stripe
crystal button cardigan in muslin, aloe, and chartreuse
lulu frost bangles in tortise and ivory
I almost went for the bright blue double serge, but I couldn't think of enough tops to wear it with. I have the peacock blue from fall and that has proven hard to match so I am not going to risk it again.
