It's definitely up to J.Crew to control quality, and I think they, and other retailers, typically demand too much in terms of production time and costs. I wish things would cost a little bit more and be done properly. I always feel badly when returning something because it wasn't made right, because it makes me think the person who made it didn't have enough time to do it right. That totally stinks.farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-27934214635675513122017-01-20T12:44:22.668-05:002017-01-20T12:44:22.668-05:00I just received a cashmere shell in stripe- shippe...I just received a cashmere shell in stripe- shipped from a store, security tag included :(farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-70471722048304258042017-01-20T12:42:50.029-05:002017-01-20T12:42:50.029-05:00Yes, that is too bad, Suz.

If there was an extra piece of fabric in the middle, similar to the skort from spring 2015, they would be fine. The leg flares out nicely which usually works better for me. Oh well. <br /><br />Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861014424535094375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1985327918761618842017-01-19T07:43:45.747-05:002017-01-19T07:43:45.747-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482192175011569049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-7211223193726490782017-01-19T07:42:30.895-05:002017-01-19T07:42:30.895-05:00Nice to see you, Hexicon.

In fact, at one point when jcrew was offering 40% off "everything" (not this bag), Nordstrom had it marked down on their site in the brown and light pink colors. I was able to get the brown one before it sold out on their site. Their have been certain colors that have been marked down (like the clover one as anon mentioned above). Also, a red color one was marked down.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067521080891421697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-36864928175192159782017-01-19T01:39:17.355-05:002017-01-19T01:39:17.355-05:00I see one in bright cover for $56.99, shows three ...I see one in bright cover for $56.99, shows three left in stock.anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908524697309265364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-83341016882900540922017-01-19T01:36:59.142-05:002017-01-19T01:36:59.142-05:00I see one in bright cover for $56.99, shows three ...I see one in bright cover for $56.99, shows three left in stock.anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908524697309265364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1175383141431276742017-01-19T01:21:05.316-05:002017-01-19T01:21:05.316-05:00I am the same, only replacing tall with petite!

And I realm dislike returning things to the store. I like to go see what they have, but it really is so limited.

The prints are amazing, but they don't treat my curves as well as they could. I know J Crew designs more for bodies without curves, so it's always a treat to get a piece that's both appealing on its own and looks good on my curves. I'll pass on the skirty shorts.farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71136192133108173542017-01-19T01:09:18.903-05:002017-01-19T01:09:18.903-05:00It was included in most of the holiday promos last...It was included in most of the holiday promos last year.

Most reviews said they were (a foot!) long and ran big. So I ordered the smaller of my sizes, and figured I could hem if needed. They fit totally fine, and length on me is just what I'd need to wear with a low heel, not long at all. The fabric though is a stiff chino fabric, not drapey. Some reviews said it was thin. What bothers me most is the lack of drape in the fabric. Then, I thought they reminded me of Z Cavariccis with the inverted pleats. I'll have to try them again with a real shirt and shoes but I don't think they work.<br /><br />Next disappointment, the skirty short in Linen. Both sizes fit, but the inverted pleat part juts out in a weird and unflattering way. I think this might work for you if you don't have a defined waist line, or if they sit on your hip so the pleat lies closed. I don't think they will work for me. Too bad. :(<br /><br />Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861014424535094375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-52905036714024213092017-01-18T22:01:17.571-05:002017-01-18T22:01:17.571-05:00After waiting and waiting for the black tweed crop...After waiting and waiting for the black tweed cropped Lady Jacket to go on sale, I finally caved when they sent me a birthday $25 card.

My current ones are getting old and a bit dinged up so I was curious about the Jill. I have the Ryan ones and agree about the case, while it's very sturdy its huge! My ray ban aviators have a slight wrap so they block the sun nicely.
