You know what I decided...I really dislike the perfect fit tanks. I don't know why I torture myself or try to convince myself they will be any different the next time I buy them. I just bought this tank not too long ago~

and its the same ....straps are too long..stretches out so front sags..I dislike the fabric because by the end of the day it stretches all out and feels sloppy...I buy the right size too..so frustrating...I wish they would put a tiny bit of stretch in their tanks.
Sorry for the rant..but I just spent 30.00 on a tank while very pretty.. I dislike.
Anyone else have issues with these or is it just me...lol:flowers::amuse:

Me too, I love them in the store, but not so fond of them at home. They look good layered though, and I always buy a size too small so that they fit once they are stretched out. They wash really nicely though. I have the same one you posted, I am planning on layering it under a cardi, but I expect by the end of the day it will be saggy...hate that.

^^ (Glad I'm not the only one).... I love the Anthro ones too!!:smile1:
I will neve buy another J Crew tank unless they change the design.
I am a seeker of great tanks and have tried soooo many...( I think this would be a great business to start..everyone needs them...make them long enough and well enough to hold their shape!):yes:
LA MADE makes a good longer one...and the BP section of Nordstrom's...I buy the 12.00 ones again..(they used to be shorter and I hated them..) they seem longer to me now..good price.:flowers:

^ I get all of my tanks from Target. Mossimo makes really nice ones that are a good length (they hit me mid-hip) and very soft with no tags. I forget what the regular price is, but they're always on sale ($7.99 apiece).

^^ Good to know..thanks!
I don't mean to get down on J Crew because I like 90% of their stuff...but I've always had it in the back of my head about these darn tanks and wondered if others felt the same...:smile1:
I get sucked into buying them when I see them in the store because they look so pretty...but I just need to WALK AWAY quickly next time...lol

Thanks for your reply! Looks like we're the same size!! Except I'm an inch shorter than you....I'm 5'2", 36C. I haven't gained much weight over the years and have stayed consistently the same. I used to wear a size 6 and sometimes a 4 years back...and now, have discovered that I wear Jcrew in an 8, but still fit into the old stuff perfectly fine. Soooo it's good to know that they've changed the sizing to be more consistent. I've just always wondered about that and never really asked. Thanks again MichelleAntonia! :smile1:

Review on Camo Jacket: GREAT GOODNESS! this jacket is very boxy. I ordered in a Medium as I normally do with jackets, but this fits like a large. I called J. Crew to authorize an exchange since it was final sale. It's going back tomorrow so I can get the Small. Love the color, I can merchandise it up really well with other pieces in my wardrobe.

Everything else I ordered is just perfect!

Also - got a return call from Mickey Drexler's office regarding my letter.:yahoo: He also sent me a letter personally. I was so surprised to get the call and the email. This is why I love J. Crew, they really value customer opinions.

I love Mossimo tanks too and they have held up pretty well.

I've never tried on the perfect fit tanks because the straps look too long, but they sure do come in pretty colors.

I've been remiss, when I saw the order you posted here I forgot to tell you that a M would be big on you (judging from the other pics you posted). I also had issues with sleeves they were just too long on me. I hope the Small works out! I'm sure you will style it cute:smile1:
