    Others have said it, so I’m just chiming in here but why the lack of reviews with items in the last few releases? So irritating! If anyone has feedback on the diagonal stripe sweater skirt or flora belle midi skirt I would appreciate it :)

    1. I'm missing the reviews too Liz. Was curious about the fit of some of the new dresses. :|

    2. I’m wondering about the flora belle skirt too. At least it looks like you can leave reviews now for new items, the other day I didn’t even see an option for leaving a review. Hopefully reviews will start coming in.

  3. I think the lack of comments says it all.

  4. The shipping has been SO SLOW. Sometimes I forget what is in my order by the time it finally arrives. Shouldn't complain because the shipping is free, but I get free shipping from the Gap companies and it arrives within 3 days, not 2 weeks!

  5. I previously commented some time ago about the skirt and sweater top. Fabric is fine but a tough one to pull off as it’s not as flattering as I had hoped for. Sorry I don’t have the Flora Belle skirt, however I do have the popover and it is a beautiful blue and pretty print. The sleeveless top was a no go for me as the arm holes are huge. Both tops run tts. I did put up a review for the popover.

  6. Reposting here:
    Is the redline sale still going on in stores? I know some of you managed to snag Liberty shirts, would you mind sharing the style number and store you visited so I can call around? I am hoping there are still some left out there!

    1. It’s still going on in stores. None of the sale Liberty shirts were redlined. If someone wants Abigail Borg silk tank in blue/white, Dallas Galleria had a size 6 and it was redlined. Plaid velvet tanks were $4.99. I returned some jeans that didn’t work. No purchases for me.

  7. Do any JCAs have personal experience with the Tweed Front Merino Wool Sweater from a few years ago? I'm not sure if I'd be an XS or S and reviews online and from bloggers are all over the place.

    1. Hey-the gray one with sweatshirt styling, and two slit ‘pockets’ (not really) on the front? Just checked, and mine is a L (I’m a size 8-10 on top). My concern with a medium would have probably been length, as I’m tall. As unhelpful as it sounds, I’d say it’s TTS. The L isn’t fitted for me, so there’s probably a little roominess to it. If you have specific questions, just let me know.

    2. Agree with Wendy, I think it's TTS. It's shorter in length, boxy, and doesn't really have "drape" because the tweed front is thicker than the merino. It's cute, though.

    3. Cheri, I think we are about the same size. It was TTS on me in a XXS. It is boxy in the body but not the arms. HTH!

      Delete
    4. I’ve got that one, too. It’s cute. Agree TTS in my normal S. I’m 5’4” so I found the length perfect.

    5. Soooo helpful!! I am an XS but take smalls in nearly everything at J crew for length and sleeve length!
      Maybe I was your size when I was younger Anthro!
      I am just discovering items I missed out during my hiatus.

  9. This is an un-vent. I received the redline Abigail Borg silk slip skirt in blue/white in a 2 from the Atlanta B&M. Such a lovely skirt, and it fits me perfectly! The SA Enokhi treated me like a princess and the skirt arrived wrapped beautifully.

    1. Just curious how much is the skirt now? Did they charge you shipping?

    2. I have the same skirt, and agree the print is lovely (as were all the Borg prints) but I don't know how to style it! Any ideas? I am thinking it could use a chunky cardigan in ivory but would love any suggestions.

    3. @EllieB, I'll wear this in the Spring into Summer. I only held it up to a few tops, but so far I'm liking the look with a white or pink sweater, a burgundy silk s/s blouse, a yellow t, an indigo top, and chambray. I also have the Borg X Crew silk tank in the pink/blue so pattern matching is another option. Then there is the shoe issue - bright pink suede, nude patent and navy pumps depending on the top. Also I have tan and ivory heeled sandals. I find it a bit long for flats, but it could be shortened.

      @Anon, it is a redline item.

  10. I just received the gingham pencil skirt in pink and it's a little bit thinner than previous No 2 Pencil skirts but the pattern matched on the seams and the pink wasn't too bright. It is a full inch longer than my other cotton pencil skirts in petite when I laid them out together which is a bummer. Because of the pattern I think it needs to be perfectly tailored and the right length but the longer hem makes me look like I am wearing a giant rectangle. Returning :-(

  11. @Mygoddy, thanks I just called Dallas and Johnathan was lovely and is sending me the top! I'm really a 4 in that top, but it's drapey enough not to really matter. Now I have the skirt and the top.
