This is the weekly "J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs}" post, to help each other share our reviews.So if you have recently purchased, or stopped by a J.Crew store to try on an item (or two) from J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.
Also, this request is not just limited to clothes. Please feel free to discuss bags, shoes, jewelry, accessories, etc.
In particular, if you could mention a few of the noteworthy details like fit, size, fabric, and the like— that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance! :)
SHOPMORE will work thru 11:59 PST on Mon nite. Click here for a skeleton review of the ruffle-hem dress in Super 120s. J. Crew nails the sheath almost every single time. Love this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gigi! SHOPMORE code is working on exclusions too, yeah! Finally able to order St. James on sale & another Drake shirt to save 30%. CS was great & let me combine with my $25 off coupon.
ReplyDeleteYes! I was able to get BOP shirt and the Bengal Tiger pajama top, to try at home. Also ordered Petite Straightaway Jean, and Jane sunnies in grey.
DeleteWhich Drake's top did you buy, Mygoddy?
@JSR, oh yeah! Glad you were able to get some goodies too! Ordered BOP to try in a different size and Pink Bengal perfect shirt.
DeleteDarn. I would have liked to used the discount on the Drake pieces.

DeleteOk, 2nd try.
DeleteI received the Drake Pink Bengal Tiger shirt and I really like it. I sized up to a 10 & this was the right call; I needed the extra room in the sleeves, shoulder & bust. There's no give in this silk. I like the feel of the material and it goes well with the Collection silk/ wool midi skirt in gossamer peach from last fall/winter. I can see this shirt as a 3, maybe 4 season, option. Really like BOP too; again, sizing up was the right call. Going to try this with the sailor stripe pants. The BOP pant is shown with a stripe top, so going to try the reverse. This top also works with camel & of course a caberbet or black. Also, received the Carrie cami in tropical floral print; I ordered this in tall and happy with this choice. The color is saturated and looks so pretty. Saw this on mullan03 IG. In tall fit is tts for me; I can see the need to size up if I ordered this in regular. I tried this shirt in store, so I knew that ordering the tall was the right call. Surprised this top hasn't sold better; it was one of the items I really liked from the roll out. Finally, received the Carrie stripe canary yellow silk dress. A comedy of errors on this order, including the wrong item being shipped. I loved this dress and it was one of my favorites in the summer rollout. Decided to hold out for sale. Was able to use a coupon when there was 50% off sale, so the net was $29.99. It's still in the 90's, so planning to wear it this weekend for a birthday party celebration.
Glad the Drakes items worked for you, Mygoddy! I don't get my shipment till the 14th 😁.
DeleteCan't wait to see your outfits on IG!
@JSR thanks & will definitely post! Hope everything works for you too. Maybe they'll come early :)!
DeleteGot the slingback flats in snakeskin printed leather on promo and used my rewards card too. Shipped yesterday. I had ordered them at full price two days earlier to try but then saw them in store and felt they ran small and I needed a half size up.
ReplyDeleteFor example, For the past decade or so I've been a size 9 and wear 9 in the Ava flats and the Kikis, but in most other Jcrew shoes these days I'm an 8.5. I ordered the cap toe Gemma in an 8.5 but the sling backs felt a touch smaller and the 9 works better.
Kiki glitter flats - I love these!!!! They will be great for holiday parties.
ReplyDeleteLined Campbell trousers - Yuck. The fabric felt cheap and they were sooo wrinkled right out of the box. I'm glad they made pants with lining but these were not good. If between sizes I would suggest 1 size down.
Harlow cardigan - I really like this and ordered a second one. It's a nice refresh for my tippi cardigans. It's versatile and polished. Love!
A few sale reviews here. More to come this week!

ReplyDeleteA few reviews here.
Anna Maria from a weekend post; the blue A-LINE DRESS IN WINDOWPANE TWEED (item f5208) is back online again in all sizes. I had been looking for this dress as well. Now I have to wait for a promo again.
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks Karend! Odd that over the weekend this dress appeared and disappeared and now that the promo is over it is available again! ;( I should of gotten it at first sight when it was available with the promo.
DeleteOff topic, but Guilt has 35% off coupon for Jcrew factory....
DeleteTwo Madewell reviews:
ReplyDelete1. lakeside peplum shirt in buffalo check (# F6885). This is shorter than it appears on the model, which kind of ruined it for me. It also runs small. I went up a size. I'm not sure if I'll keep it, because of the length. It's long enough, but just. Material is a lightweight cotton.
2. flannel classic ex-boyfriend shirt in akiva plaid (# F5014). I sized up in this one too. The flannel is soooo soft. I almost love it, but the plaids on the two that I tried on did not match up on the side seams, not even close, and it bothered me. It is also similar to a J. Crew flannel I bought last year, so maybe I don't need this one too. But if the plaids lined up, I'd probably get it anyway.
Click here for the Gilt City 35% coupon offer. You can select up to 5 from the quantity dropdown button. Thanks for sharing, Kate!
ReplyDeleteHi -- I totally missed your SHOPMORE comment on last week/weekend's sale and didn't get the BOP Drake pants. I am still hoping to scoop a pair before the go out of stock. Are there any codes that will work now? Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeleteBut last sale I did buy the wide leg pant in windowpane glen plaid item f4679 and both colours in the culotte in wool flannel item f5650. I see the reviews for the windowpane pant runs very small, so I may have to return (curvy shape) but hoping the other culottes work; I love culottes and wide leg pants these days!
