I received it this week, and I'm wearing it today. Love the colors, the quality is good, and the fit is flattering. Based on a review that Ina did of the shirt a while ago, I sized up from my normal shirt size of 0 to a 2, and that was the right decision. The price right now is really nice with the extra 50% off. I posted a pic on my instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/allthingssimplified#" rel="nofollow"><b>allthingssimplified</b></a> for anyone that might want to see it IRL.Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89288813190431554922014-04-25T11:04:39.211-04:002014-04-25T11:04:39.211-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-7610924583793794562014-04-23T15:49:19.601-04:002014-04-23T15:49:19.601-04:00I may have tried this on in the store in an aqua c...I may have tried this on in the store in an aqua color, does this sound like the dress? It has a horizontal seam across the bust. If this is it, I did not think the armholes were giant. The fit was really nice and so was the length, but I wasn't sure if I liked the horizontal seam. I remember thinking the fit was so good I would get over the seam :)catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71843954898058748652014-04-23T09:56:58.865-04:002014-04-23T09:56:58.865-04:00Thanks ladies - just received a price adjustment o...Thanks ladies - just received a price adjustment on my Isabelle pumps I ordered last week after seeing Gigi's wonderful review.<br /><br />So, I now have a question - the matelasse sheath dress - does it suffer from giant armhole syndrome?

The slit is also ok but a little too high for me so am undecided on that one, but if you can work it, it's an interesting piece. Next is the garden floral lace dress, most likely I'll post next week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21776638799176712482014-04-23T01:45:23.804-04:002014-04-23T01:45:23.804-04:00I just bought the Isabelle printed pumps in the bo...I just bought the Isabelle printed pumps in the botanical print :)<br />Awsome deal USD 64 - 25%<br />Thank you so much for the review gigi!!!!! <3 <3 <3chercherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848249873495227305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1104318547979230152014-04-23T00:44:15.947-04:002014-04-23T00:44:15.947-04:00Factory - SALE25 gets an addtl 25% off.

Reviews were spot-on, go down a size from your regular short size. The dress is good for the price but was very static-y and I probably need to hem it as it is knee-length on me and I prefer above the knee. I didn't care about the Charlie, the colors are duller (notably the pink is much more of a purple than on the shorts). Last, the vacationland shorts are very pajam-y and much pinker than the silk blouse from retail (that was a salmon-blush). They also fit a bit smaller than the punk floral.Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-3313030807370794752014-04-22T18:34:27.905-04:002014-04-22T18:34:27.905-04:00Agree, AudreyS.

I am showing far more skin along the cutouts (in front, lower torso/upper waist) compared to the model on the website. Maybe because I have more of a straight boyish figure? Though with the yellow top portion of the colorblocked suit nipples are an issue - the suit has no padding, just lining. I'm a size 0 in dresses, 5'4", 110 lbs and size 2 fit beautifully. 3ppmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861300111561941627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-6814049068877797342014-04-22T16:28:41.344-04:002014-04-22T16:28:41.344-04:00I picked up the Maltas in silver.

The only issue is the straps feel a little loose on my foot, although I do have a slightly narrow foot. I'm going to wear them around the house and see how they feel before I decide to keep them or not.

Fit is on true waist and lots of pleating makes it puff out quite a bit. Nice light cotton. Loved this until I got home and the hub said it didn't look good. Ordered the dress to see if that is more figure flattering.<br /><br />PINK GEO TOP<br />item a1328<br /><br />Got this in a size 2. I normally wear a 2 in coats, but a 4 in perfect / boy shirts. The cut of this item is probably only good for very small chested ladies. It has a pleat all across the top part of the chest - which can help someone like me but may prove too much for others. It falls in an A line away from the body which is also great for me after 4 kids, but does require a small tuck in front to keep from looking huge. Very thin cotton great for summer.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769350410594492783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-85497876241694042632014-04-22T15:48:13.473-04:002014-04-22T15:48:13.473-04:00Some reviews of new arrivals and sale here and her...Some reviews of new arrivals and sale <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2014/04/j-crew-review-photo-flora-dress-cotton.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2014/04/j-crew-review-puff-sleeve-blazers-and.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">here</a>OperaRachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580291817668441900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-49416060502505285022014-04-22T14:52:49.242-04:002014-04-22T14:52:49.242-04:00Thanks for all your wonderful replies!

The key to getting this dress to look right on your body is to fit it to your hips. <br /><br />I actually did not give this a second glance until I saw it on Wendy here;<br /><br />http://onecantgetoverthehabit.blogspot.com/2014/03/j-crew-review-of-two-summer-dresses-and.html<br /><br />Then I tried it on. It seemed roomy, so I went with the smaller of my two dress sizes, and the pockets were a disaster and poofed out. Gigi had the same issue:<br /><br />http://www.gigisgoneshopping.com/2014/04/j-crew-eyelet-shirtdress.html<br /><br />Then, when I was in the store to do a return, I saw it was on sale and had to try it again, because for me, nothing is better than an easy summer dress. I went with my larger of my JC dress sizes, and it was MUCH better. The key to this dress is that it has to lie loose over your hips. It's not a fitted dress, so it's not figure flattering, but it is a very cute easy dress, loose and 100% cotton, and IMO, perfect for summer.<br /><br />I recommend trying in person, or if you have some hips, to go with your larger dress size or size up one.AudreyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783881806028461090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71949859119727329302014-04-22T13:58:50.640-04:002014-04-22T13:58:50.640-04:00Hi Susan,in the dress i tried the regular 0.
