You're very welcome. It's a lovely coat, I wanted to snap it up when I first saw it online, but left the store underwhelmed after seeing it in person.

Double Cloth is the best material, I'm telling you! I have a coat from '06 that still looks brand new and I wear it quite often. No piling AT ALL.. it's like magic :laugh:

Hey Jcrew lovers, does anyone here have the Plaza coat?http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=305479008&&pid=uid5216-3555596-91

I am interested in this coat, does it keep you warm especially in the northeast, what about the quality of the materials? Notice any piling? or any other problems with quality? Thanks for the info in advance.

I bought the Plaza coat earlier this season and I've worn it about a dozen times this winter. I have it without the Thinsulate because it doesn't get very cold where I live (SF Bay Area). It's made of 100% wool and it feels very nice, but I don't think it's all that warm by itself (especially without Thinsulate). I love it so far and I haven't noticed any quality issues.

Thanks for the review. It sounds like a fall jacket especially for here in the northeast, I need something a bit more warmer for the winter.

Can anyone tell me about the quality of JCrew cashmere sweaters this year? I'm looking to buy a few of their cashmere sweaters but because the local store doesn't carry the cashmere items, I'm a little worried about the quality. The last one I bought wasn't so great but that was a few years back.

Hi,

I was very happy to notice recently that jcrew.com has started to ship to several European countries! :) As I only have one J.Crew skirt yet, I am not so familiar with the sizing. Does anybody know if Blouson dress runs true to size in accordance with the size chart? Many thanks in advance!

the quality of their cashmere has really gone down. Probably since '09, it's been awful - lots of piling.

I have the blousen dress from last year in black and white stripes. I am 5'2" and I was weighing close to 130 lbs. last summer, bra size was 36C/D and bought in size 8, I have lost some weight and when I tried the new ones, at 34/C I can fit into a 4 but it was a little tight, but size 6 was perfect.

The only thing about this dress is that if you are short or have a short torso, you will have to alter the strap, I did it myseld, took in about an inch from the strap.

It's such a comfy dress, you can dress it up or down, the material feels and looks expensive. I love it so much that I don't mind buying the same dress in a different pattern or color. I hope my review helped you.

Does the cafe capri hold its shape throughout the day? I'm always leery of that cotton/stretch blend, as it seems to "grow" as the day goes on and I don't want to get that saggy legs and butt look halfway through the day. Should I size down?

I have several pairs and they get wrinkled behind the knee, but I have never gotten the "saggy butt and legs" look. I usually don't have that problem, so maybe others can chime in.
