I caved and got the black blossom Jacket - at $34.95 how could I pass it up? I figured it would be nice to wear something other than frilly tops with cardis..

30% off final sale ends today, I saw some good popbacks!

Wow! I love J.Crew! Since everyone here is a JCrew-holic.....I have a little question maybe you gals can help me out with. I've bought dresses usually summer dresses on and off from JCrew since I was in college. And I used to buy a 6 and sometimes a 4, depends on the material and cut. Lived abroad for several years and have not bought anything for them for a good few years. But in the last year or so since I've been back, I've started to shop there more consistently. Usually buy cardis and sweaters. I haven't quite figure out the sizing for me with the dresses. So far, it's been a lot of trial and error, order and return, exchange and return. Finally, after many returns and exchanges in a variety of dresses and materials, I now, buy dresses in a 8. Have their sizing changed over the years? I still fit perfectly fine into the old dresses that are a size 6 from years ago. So I'm just wondering. Do you guys size up and size down depending on what you buy in JCrew?

I have found that over the past year or two they have started to cut a little smaller in a lot of things. I remember 4 years ago buying a suit and my tailor was positive that the 0 skirt was actually a mis-labelled 6. These days a 0 from J.Crew sometimes fits like an actual 0, sometimes like a 2, in my experience.

J crew has done it again. Now that the 30% off promo is finished, they've added TONS of new stuff and some older pieces. I have truly gotten fed up with this tactic. So I sent a really nice, but stern letter to Mickey Drexler. We'll see what happens.

It's gorgeous, but yowza. That's ridiculous.

I caved on the 30% off/FS too. I needed some new (larger :p) cashmere sweaters, and the bathing suit I wanted went on sale + the 30% off. I am CUT OFF after this (except the one return/exchange I have to make). My haul:

~ cashmere crewneck tee in bright seaside (http://images.jcrew.com/erez4/cache/images_eiec_98_98277_98277_BL7915_tif_99f80b8d437918ae.jpg) and cantaloupe (http://images.jcrew.com/erez4/cache/images_eiec_98_98277_98277_OR5313_tif_665a0b0bd976182c.jpg)

DC, I agree -- super annoying re: the new additions immediately after the end of the sale. I hate it when they do that.

shiuri -- IMO, the sizing at J. Crew is now more true than it used to be. Years ago, I wore a 2 in the suit pants but a 0 in the skirts, because the skirts were cut larger. Now I am larger than I was, but find the sizing a lot more consistent, and I wear an 8 pretty much across the board, and a M in tops/sweaters. If it helps, I'm about 5'3" and 36C, and a M fits me great :D.

ETA -- oh! I forgot, I was supposed to review the Zoey blazer. I like it. It's a very lightweight matte washed silk, and has an unstructured Armani thing going. Very cute with the arms pushed up. I think it'll look good worn with jeans or black cigarette pants (like this season's version of the Pixie -- which I'm totally loving, by the way).
