^Thanks, same here. I guess this dress shape might not work for me then if I normally wear a 2.

I usually wear a 2 in J. Crew dresses (for my hips/butt), but I was easily able to size down to a 0 in the Allie dress because it flares out in the hip area. See here:

Good point. Speaking of - do you find these shoes to run true to size?

Thank you!

You're welcome. I wanted to wait for a promo code, but was scared my size would sell out.

Love the dress and am jealous you're in Paris! How tall are you? I want this dress but am hesitant because I prefer my dresses closer to knee-length than mini.

I'm 5'9" and it was obscenely short on me, like, almost should have been a shirt. I think I tried on a 0.

My new favorite sweatshirt from j crew and pants, too.

I can imagine! I know when I saw it in person I thought it looked short for me, and I'm only 5' 4". I wish stores would stop making dresses and skirts too short this season (Anthro, J. Crew, and Madewell namely).

I can't wait to see your pics of the Teddie dress!

I just ordered 2 more blazers. I decided to branch out and order a Hacking Jacket instead of a Schoolboy. I got the dusty light purple color. Of course, I couldn't help myself and ordered yet another Schoolboy too. I got the light blue wool with gold buttons.

thanks! finally
I tried on the Jules dress in the store and it was quite short too. I'm 5'3 and don't mind short, but in combination with the boxiness of the dress it didn't work.

The Jules dress this season doesn't have the same fit as the ones from last season. Did you try in the wool version?

PhiPhi, what size do you wear in J.Crew blazers? I know we tend to wear the same size in tops, and I'm considering trying the schoolboy blazer in pearl gray.
