sorry, i accidentally posted in the deals thread originally so i apologized for reposting...

hi girls, i'm thinking of ordering the lady day coat and was wondering if someone that is similar in size can help. i read some posts that says it runs small but that seem to apply to those with a bigger chest. i am not blessed in that area.

so i'm 5' 1" 105 lbs and 32/34A. should i go with a 0P or 2P?

regularly in J. Crew do you wear Petite? I ask because my SA was helping a young lady recently, she thought she was a 2P, but everything she tried on fit in size 0-Regular.

I got this Hearthstone Snood as a gift:

....and I love it the knit but I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO WEAR IT!!! I've tried looking up modeling pictures online, but I've had no luck.

Any of you ladies own this and can share your styling tips?

saw this pic & saved it bc i thought her styling was cute. not sure if its the same snood but it appears to be close.

I usually do wear petite because of the sleeves.

I recommend that you get at least a 0p. I am 5'4", 138 lbs. and I get my J. Crew coats in 2p. The regular size 0 fits me perfect, but I do prefer the shorter overall torso length of the petites.

Has anyone bought (or tried on) the Academy coat? If so, what did you think of it?

Ugh - this forum is such a bad influence. Just ordered a Belstaff leather jacket after seeing dannii787's post in the deals thread.

Anyone know if size 42 is going to be too big if I normally wear an XS in J Crew tops?

I bought the coat in herringbone and really like it. I will try to post pics this weekend.

I love her look! Now if only I could figure out how to get my Snood to sit like that on my neck...

Thanks for sharing.

I just wanted to say, I tried on the Hacking Jacket today and I am in LOVE. Never has a blazer fit me so perfectly before. I didn't get it (It wasn't in a color I wanted) but it's going on my wishlist for sure.

I wear XS in tops and if I was going to get it I would take a 42. That way you can wear sweaters and bulkier stuff underneath. It doesn't look like a jacket that should be fitted.

Thanks I didn't know what size to order since I've found their sizes can vary frequently with their jackets.

I couldn't resist and ordered the belstaff leather jacket as well. Such a good deal and so cute!!! I'm so excited!
