They are so comfy, almost like jammies but just polished enough to wear out and about. The leg is straight fitting - not too tight nor too full, and the fabric is soft yet substantial. I like the drawstring waist because it eliminates waist-gapping issues which I tend to have with pants. These pants are unlined, which was not an issue in navy, not sure about the lighter colors.Tamara Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10323287472753628313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-85639466888760152792011-06-02T08:48:46.014-04:002011-06-02T08:48:46.014-04:00Does anyone know if the Delaney Eyelet Skirt runs ...Does anyone know if the Delaney Eyelet Skirt runs true to size?

There were like 3 or 4 different dusty cedar suedes on J Crew's web site and they all looked different, IRL it's closest to the <a href="http://images.jcrew.com/erez4/erez?src=images/eiec/36/36244/36244_BR5980.tif&tmp=zoomNoFlash" rel="nofollow">Collins image</a> except more rosy. The fit is as expected, I usually wear a 6.5 in non-J Crew shoes and the 6.5 Collins fits perfectly. The upper strap going over the top of my foot is a little snug as it is with my other Collins.<br /><br />I also got the <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_factory_category/PRDOVR~42281/42281.jsp" rel="nofollow">Factory stripe zip cardigan</a> in navy stripe. I usually take an XL in J Crew cardigans, I like to be able to button them without gaping. This one is oversized, usually an XL is 40" and this one is 42". I'm going to swap it for an L. Other than the sizing I'm very pleased, the knit is very smooth and lightweight but not sheer, and the colors are nice (the navy is super dark, almost black). The workmanship is excellent, the stripes match at the zipper, pockets and sides.tamara.chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897696857151633520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-13918677933752461912011-06-01T19:36:45.765-04:002011-06-01T19:36:45.765-04:00I just got a big order in the mail today.

It falls to just above the knee on me and I'm 5'4". I think it's very flattering. I have 2 events that I know of that I plan on wearing it to. It's sold out in my store. I got the Loretta wood sandals. Going back. Fit is TTS, but they were higher than they looked in the catalog and felt like they were cutting into the top of my toes. Also, I thought the straps were a true black, but they're a canvas charcoal black color. Too bad. I got the Suede Collins in a sz. 8 in the beige color. Those are going back too, even at $55. They are sky high, but fairly comfortable considering. But I didn't love the color and they're too similar to the Alescia sandals I have from last summer. Finally, I got the Elsa jacket. I'm debating this one. It's really cute and looks very flattering. I'd say it runs TTS, to a tad small, but I actually think I need to size down from the size I ordered.

I normally wear a 28/6 in jeans and skirts, but I easily take a 4 in these shorts. They are soooo comfortable! Love them! (sidenote - I will say my bf doesn't like them because they aren't tight in the rear - too bad for him!)<br /><br />Also love my dusty cedar suede Collins that I got for something like $55 on promo. I go between 8.5 and 9 in shoes, and these fit perfectly in 9.<br /><br />Dislike: canteen pants - sized down to 4 in these and they still sit weirdly on my hips/thighs. I've seen other rave reviews so I'm guessing it just has to do with body type.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387729252901520774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-32348043091976522652011-06-01T16:50:14.991-04:002011-06-01T16:50:14.991-04:00pathos, I would post the numbers but I'm not a...pathos, I would post the numbers but I'm not at home and don't have the jeans with me.

While, I wouldn't really want to pay much more than that for it (no lining), I like it. It's pretty roomy and seems to stand up to all I've thrown in there today. I wanted a summery cross body bag, and this is perfect. The straps are wide enough to not be painful. My only question is that on the tag, it says "Trim: 100% Leather." This bag is only straw. There is no leather anywhere.
