I have a question for the women who buy JCrew pencil skirts. (Like the Super 120s)

Recently, I saw the recommendation to buy in tall to get a longer skirt in which the sizing was the same (fit), this will work well for my wife into the fall and winter.

My question is will the same be true if I buy it petite? She wears a size 10 in the pencil skirts. If I want the skirt to be shorter than the standard regular 22 1/2 or 23 inches, if I buy her a petite in size 10, will the fit still be the same size around her waiste and hips, and only the skirt length will change (say to 20 inches)? Does going to petite same size hold true as going to tall same size? I was thinking the shorter skirt would work better for some of her OTK high heel dress boots.

Thank you.

If you buy petite, the general rule is to go one size up for the same fit around the waist and hips.

Can anyone please help me? I'm in Australia and have recently rediscovered my love for JCrew after a recent trip to the US.

I'm a 6 in the Boy button up shirts, would I be the same in the popovers? I'm specially looking at the Swiss Dot Tuxedo shirt.

Thank you!

The swiss dot tuxedo shirt runs really large. I went down 1-2 sizes from my boy shirt size. I loved this shirt in the catalog but in real life it didn't work at all. The swiss dot part is really sheer and the tux panel felt too stiff and fussy by contrast.

just wanted to share my jeweled sweatshirt which i got for extra 30% off :) i'm usually between small and medium and i'm glad that i choose medium because otherwise it would be way too short :)

Thank you shoecrazy. I want it more for layering under sweaters so I will size down. Thanks again!

I just bought my first ever J Crew item (I'm from Australia so sadly we don't have it here!) - the Memo dress in charcoal pinstripe! The fit and the style are soooooo perfect. I love their huge size range too!!
