Thank you! Have you called CS to get a locator done? I've also found my janeys to be true to US size.
Yay! What great deals!!
Oooohhh love these on you!
Finally have my apricot and deep violet Janey flats!
These colours are amazing!!
Checked out the store this weekend and found much of the same that's been on sale with a few extras. I took home the daisy lace long-sleeve (super soft), a feather-weight cottom v-neck cardigan,and the butterfly shorts. I also snatched up a Double-Row Mini Pave Link Necklace (see on Pink Peonies), since I thought it had sold out last year. I am looking forward to layering this necklace with other stone or link necklaces!
For bikini tops and bottoms, I went with my bra size. I would recommend ordering a few sizes to see which one fits best, as I found that I would fit TTS in one underwire top, but needed to size down in the tulle underwire top (not tank). They allow returns on swimwear and when in doubt, call CS and they will add a note that will allow you to return the item. HTH!
I share your sizing, but a 27 waist and I may be able to help, although I haven't really tried on the styles you're inquiring about. I've been trying to find the perfect J.Crew swimsuit for me this season, except I've been trying on some of the one-pieces (like the Liberty Tank in Lord Paisley and Tulle Underwire Tank). Those go by numerical sizes and I have found 2 to fit best, except if you have a long torso as I do, it doesn't quite fit well length-wise. I also fir a 4, but it ends up being looser all around, so no win.

Thanks so much! The swimwear I was looking at said finale sale so I'll try to call CS. They have so much cute stuff!
Is anyone hearing anything about what promo they might be running in stores after the 25% is over tomorrow?
I've had my eye on the Bold Stone Bracelet but I don't know if I should wait for it to go on sale.. a sale price might end up being the same as extra 25% is now, or depending on if (or when ) it goes down, even less if they have an extra off of sale.
It's not online anymore though so it might just be a quick seller.
Thanks!

I do, because I'm a broke student and its how I afford cute preppy styles from J.Crew! I mean yes the quality is not as nice, but everything is still wearable, and seems somewhat durable to me. I have not had an issue with clothing from there falling apart. Mostly, my issue with the Factory store is that for the most part, the skirts/dresses/silk tops are unlined. It can be annoying especially if the item is a thinner material or lighter in color. I think its okay to shop at the factory store as long as you KNOW exactly what you are getting. Also I would never ever pay full price for anything at that store, wait for those coupon codes (which come at least 2x a month).
My favorite items from the factory store are the printed pencil skirts. Perfect summer work outfit! I also love their chino shorts, casual button downs and sleeveless silk tops. I do find their dresses to be cheaply made and too wrinkly, and their jeans to be very uncomfortable..I would rather wait for those two items to go on sale at real J.Crew!
EDIT: question about cafe capri in pinwheel eyelet..
So I tried this item on in a size 4 at the store and it felt so loose! Very baggy around the thighs and it kind of gaped at the waistband. But when I look at the picture on the model, it fits her similarly, at least around the leg area. There was no size 2 in the store to try on. I own one other pair of cafe capri, size 4 (in the spotted leopard print), and it fits perfectly. I could order a size 2 online but that is annoying to be because of the 8.95 shipping and if its too tight i have to go to through the hassle of returning it. Can anyone tell me how this capri is supposed to fit? Is it supposed to be baggier or curve hugging?

I find all the eyelet pencils and capris to fit a bit more boxy than similar items in different fabrics. It is never enough for me to size down, but I always have more room in the hip and waistband on them.
This fabric is nice though. I have the neon rose pencil and wear in constantly.
^^Thank you for your response.
Can anyone comment on how comfortable the Viv flats are? Do they have padding in the soles? There is a pair available on Ebay for a veryyy reasonable compared to the $188 retail!
