Thanks! You have me sold. I need a new black blazer and thinking that this may fit the bill.
I think it runs a little big. I'm generally a size 2 in blazers and the 2 I tried on in store was large and frumpy on me.
I tried on a couple merino cardigans at J Crew and they are too small in the chest. Does this happen to any one else? I don't think I'm particularly big - a 34C. The gap in the small was really bad, you could see my bra if you looked sideways, but the waist was right. The M still had a gap, and the L would be way too big in the waist.
I think most J Crew is cut small in the chest and the cardigans are particularly curve unfriendly.
I am only a 32A and wear an xs in cardis everywhere but J Crew. I have mostly smalls and a few mediums from them.
Hmm. I find the merino and cashmere cardigans to run pretty TTS -- I'm a medium (6 in numbered sizes) in tops and sweaters from just about every store and/or brand on the planet, and I comfortably wear a M in J. Crew cardigans pretty much across the board, with a nice flattering fit. (I'm 5'3", 38C. I think earlier on this thread I may have said I wore a 36C -- total brain fart. I'm wearing a relatively new [w/in the last year] size and have yet to get used to it!!
Kind of like when you keep dating stuff with the old year through February or so...or is that just me?)The only J. Crew cardi I've found to run small thus far is the metallic beach cardi. The medium was tight on me, and I'd definitely want to size up to a large both for comfort and for fit. It just looks better. That cardi is SUPPOSED to be a bit slouchy, for heaven's sake!
ETA -- conversely, I found the merino Ethereal Ruffle cardi to run a bit big. I bought a medium when I was a little...er...um. Retaining a bit of water. Shh! Anyway, once I was back to normal a couple of days later, it was a bit too big. No big deal. I was too lazy to exchange it, so I just wear it belted or wrapped and fastened with a brooch. Taught me my lesson about shopping at that time of the month, though.

I agree, JC sizes are pretty inconsistent, but lately it seems that just about everything has run big with some notable exceptions. I dont worry too much about the cardigans.. they can be worn buttoned or unbuttoned, but it really IS annoying when ordering from the site.
Hey ladies - back from vacation. My Grommet Hobo arrived while I was gone, I'm not sure I'm in love with it anymore. I guess I'm not a gold HW girl...
I only like the bracelet, BUT I will wait **and cross fingers** for it to go on sale.
For you guys that were on the fence about ordering the Mackenzie jacket - don't think any longer
I saw 2 SAs wearing it yesterday with the minnie pants in denim (http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/Wom..._Category/denim/minnie/PRDOVR~23559/23559.jsp), which by the way are $39.99 in-store) and they FAB!!!!! The jacket is really nice, can see it working for day and evening, casual or dressy.

You enabler you! I was on my way home & literally got off the train when I heard "columbus cirlcle" (which to me just means j.crew & sometimes whole foods, lol) and two words popped into my head. Denim Minnies.
they are awesome. I did have to size up from my regular black minnies. I also bought this great pair of dangly rhinestoney earrings for $14.99, black ballet flats, a pink skinny belt, the bridget dress in black, and a thick crystal necklace with clear stones. Whoooopsies.
