Crew is trying to make certain trends happen and they just won't (not on a large scale, anyway). Super high rises (11"+), very wide leg pants, off-the-shoulder tops, full-length ball skirts, tulle skirts, skirts and dresses that are too short (short people are ordering them in Tall sizes), ruffled sleeves, fitted dresses, too-small purses, paint splattered clothes, boot leg crop denim (everyone is trying to make that happen). Their sale racks tell the story of their mistakes and what not to do. They should be using that data. catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-85328168470964277342017-03-19T11:14:42.550-04:002017-03-19T11:14:42.550-04:00I cannot figure out what size in J.Crew pants to o...I cannot figure out what size in J.Crew pants to order. In dresses I'm an 000 or a P00. Skirts I can do 00 (shortened) or P00 or P0.<br /><br />Every pant I have tried over the past 7 years looks horrible on me, except the bootcut cords from 2011.<br /><br />I have tried the Cafe Trouser (City Fit), the Minnie, and the Campbell, of the following in my regular size (P0). They are generally fine at the waist but tight in the thighs and hips and butt. The rise is also weird. The Maddie was way too lose in the hips and thighs to be flattering. Plus they pilled like crazy.<br /><br />I'm eye-ing some Campbells now - wondering if I should go up a size? I'm not sure that will help with the rise issues.Flower Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702975223473268369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-70947511692667857672017-03-19T11:09:00.263-04:002017-03-19T11:09:00.263-04:00I feel the same way Stray Cat.

I don't want this to happen to Jcrew, but I am not finding as much to appeal to me in in this spring's selections. I feel like many of us are trying to embrace a more minimalist approach to fashion and what I am seeing there is basically what I already have in my closet. What I want is the unique and very special pieces and they seem to sell out quickly.

I...I so agree with so much of what has been shared. I just wonder if there is some underlying issue going on...something that can't be fixed with good technology. The update to my story is....I called and cancelled my order. I didn't ask if the earrings were really in stock or back-ordered. I also didn't mention my inability to access the site properly. They've heard it a million times. I called my local stores and found a pair. Granted there were at the downtown store (ugh) but my husband kindly drove me down, I jumped out of the car (while the car behind us honked and honked) and I ran into the store. I had spoken to a very nice young woman who warned me they were going be very busy due to a Saturday Event. I went in....and I was the only person in the store. I saw the donuts and coffee, but no customers. I asked how they event went and she said "well, the donuts were popular". It made me feel bad for the employees. I decided to go next week to one of the suburban stores and really take a look at the new things when I have time. I'm torn like many of you between the love of the Crew and what I see happening to it. I was under the impression they had identified their problems and were addressing them. We have retailers closing stores all over our city....I don't want that to happen to the Crew. straycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313899825381484936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-48288456469020501212017-03-19T09:26:52.657-04:002017-03-19T09:26:52.657-04:00Hi Cate!

Many of the long-time JCAs have slipped away as J Crew has lowered the bar for quality and service, and their business results certainly show it. <br /><br />I've been on a J Crew shopping ban for months and don't miss the compulsive buying and returning one bit either! But, I do hold out hope that the brand will get back some of what it used to be.

I really love the Crew, but for a company whose business is a) in critical financial trouble and b) most importantly, heavily DEPENDS on online shopping, they really need to sort that sort of thing out!! Really, what a lost opportunity. I personally haven't experienced that frustration lately, but that's only bcc I haven't tried ordering anything in the very past few days. I'm sorry to hear about it all and hope the situation is righted soon! No need to be dealing with wedding drama when trying to an awesome popback, humph! 🙄TM93https://www.blogger.com/profile/18166897306461544844noreply@blogger.com
