They do run a little larger imo, but it's probably because they are supposed to have a bubble look! I went by size 4, where I get size 6 in most tops at JCrew, and I still can wear a jacket or thick sweater underneath. Now that they are on sale, I am thinking about buying one in sea salt.

I know, it's weird.
I went back to look at the photos again and I guess I can see it.
The swirls in the paillettes look more blue than black. It looks great with denim!
Now I need to decide if I should keep it.. It's different.
I hate J Crew's vanity sizing! I'm a solid size 4, I have a small waist but my hips and thighs are not skinny. The x-small is borderline too big. I ordered x-small because that is all they had the day I ordered. They added a size small a day later,and I ordered the small too. The small is going back.
Beautiful. What is the style name of this skirt?
DC-Cutie love your jewelry.
XXS are officially fitting me now... and it's not like I've lost weight! If anything, I've spent a solid week eating like a king carbing up before the crusades lol. It's technically in the thermal material, BUT STILL. I do think this vanity sizing stuff is out of control. not to mention inconsistent.
WHy do they even make XXS, anyone know? Is it because the style itself runs big?

I had to return some XXS I had ordered online a months ago because it was too big! That is why I stay away from Final Sale. I never know what will fit me there. I always complain in the store-hopefully one day the higher ups will get the message.
I recently bought the cashmere boyfriend sweater in black, the infinity sweater in bright dahlia and 2 scoop neck 3/4 sleeve tops in black and bright dahlia. I get compliments on all of them. I have noticed that J Crew sizing is different for each item. I'm a small in the shirts I bought, XS in a cardigan I bought a couple months ago, and I could go XS or S in the boyfriend and infinity cardigans. I have lost a lot of weight but I feel like me wearing an XS is ridiculous.
Not sure if anyone has been to the outlet recently, great deals though.
Picked up a scoop neck tee in navy & mint green as well as vneck in light purple and a darker green for $12 each (10.20 student discount), 4 Jackie cardigans in black/light pink/light green for $24.75 each (21.04 student discount) and a popover for $15.28!
They are having amazing deals, especially if you need to stock up on basics! I've been building a work wardrobe so it's helped going to the factory or ordering during sales, the clothing is made well although I agree on sizing issues!

I HATE vanity sizing! I bought a pair of pants from J.Crew a few months ago that were xxs and they are still too big. I know I'm a tiny girl (5 ft/90something lbs) but shouldn't clothes come in my size too? I think J.Crew's sizes bounce all around. I used to be an xs at this size but now I could be either depending on their whim lol.
In other news, I bought the wonderland coat from final sale and it came today. I got it in bluebell and I love it. It was a hard decision for me: bluebell or candied cherry. I like the bluebell but I wish I could have bought both!

saira1214 said:In terms of the pants and skirts, I do not feel there is vanity sizing. In fact, I had to go up a size.
I think it depends. On things that are sized 0, 2, etc. I wear 1 or two sizes smaller in J.Vrew, with a 00 sometimes being loose. When it comes to numbered sizes like jeans, I can wear a 26 when I'm a 24 or 25 everywhere else. They need to get their sizing more consistent.
I bought a no.2 pencil skirt yesterday, holy mother of vanity sizing!! I am by no means 00!!! I wanted a higher waist look, so I don't have to hem, and 00 fit perfect. I am a size 4 or 6 usually, and in designer stuff more like 8 or 10.
ladies, i researched this thread to find some help on sizing for the lady day coat. i'm pretty confused. LOL.
if i wear a 0P in jcrew dresses (ie. the memo dress..), xs/0 in most cardis and tops, 0/2P in the no. 2 double serge pencil skirts - would a lady coat in a 00 be too small for me? and would the sizing change if there was thinsulate?
thanks in advance for your help!

Is JCrew's TOWNHOUSE Coat (in particular, the heather majestic purple color) still available in stores? Online seems to be pretty much all sold out, and it's still before New Year's. I had been holding out for an additional mark-down on those but it's looking like eBay might be the only option now.....unless stores still have them? Any advice?
The Shops at Willow Bend store had the same coat in majestic purple two days ago, I think it was size 0 or 2, but it look TTS, no vanity sizing. This is their number (469) 443-1311. My SA is Stacey and she is super nice, but anyone else in the store is helpful, too.
Has anyone seen the Darrick tartan boyshirt in a 0? I have been waiting for it to go on sal in stores and thought it would be fine since my store had stacks of them, suddenly they only have one left. I am thinking they must have sent it back which happens a lot with my store due to not selling. I really want one but it is back ordered online and I don't want to pay FP.
