Calling All J.Crew Aficionadas: Can You Help? :)

I have received two requests to help locate items from fellow Aficionadas that I am hoping our community can help out with. :) Both Aficionadas have searched auction sites like eBay and eCrater with no luck.

Eyelet cascade gown

Item 93739
Regular $1,200.00

Jenn is looking for the sold out eyelet cascade gown for her special wedding day. She has also contacted the wedding specialist (Ashley) at J.Crew and was unable to find the dress.

The item description is: "We found the fabric at an embroidered-lace house famous for beautifully finished eyelet. Cotton with a dramatic eyelet pattern cascading to the hem like a waterfall. Sleeveless silhouette. Demi-cup balconette bodice, full skirt with allover knife pleats. Empire waist. Side zip. Scalloped hem. Fully lined. Falls to floor; 45" from natural waist. Import. Dry clean. Specially packaged in a custom-made box to ensure your gown is always as beautiful as the first day you wore it. Catalog/jcrew.com only."

Ellen is looking for a winter coat (size 6) from the winter collection in November/December of 2005. The coat is the "orange/red vintage floral print lady day coat from J. Crew". The regular price was about $400+ and went on sale around $200. If you can help out with the name/item number of this coat, that would be wonderful too. (I tried looking through the Google catalog search and was unable to find this coat.)

Any additional suggestions on where to look for these items would be gladly appreciated! Thanks in advance. :)

  2. Catherine: Great catch! :) I actually saw that catalog but didn't even think it would have any coats in it because it was August. I think that might just be the one she is referring to. :) Thanks again!

  4. Wow, the feel of that catalog looks so different than the more recent ones!! I mean, I just looked at that one page but it seems so ... rustic? Laidback? I don't know. :)

  5. What I noticed about that catalog is how normal the model looks. like not model-y at all. I like it.

  8. I would just recommend continually searching ebay every week. I had fallen in love with the Gabrielle long silk georgette gown several seasons ago, and of course, waited to buy it, and it sold out. I searched for almost a year (google searches, ebay searches) just in case it ever re-surfaced. sure enough, all my searching paid off and someone happened to be selling one in my size new with tags! good luck!!!

  9. p.s. although I suppose this could be a time-sensitive issue depending on when you're getting married. still, if you do have some time, spend it searching! I really thought I'd never see that dress again and was in complete shock when I finally found it on ebay so much later. also, craigslist is a good place. someone was selling my gown on there, too, but nowhere near my size so I kept looking

  10. Hi! If anyone can help me I would truly,truly appreciate it! I am desperately searching for the J. Crew Gabriel Silk Georgette gown in Ivory. It is such a beautiful dress and basically they just don't make it anymore. I've been on ebay every week -- if anyone has any suggestions as to any other places to search I would appreciate it. Thanks so much!
