I can't bring myself to actually buy short pants on purpose - only other tall women who've been forced to wear "flood pants" will understand this. Its a good thing J.Crew has pants with longer inseams, however, they need to sell them in the stores, not just on-line.<BR/>Love Ya!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04727848944638135891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-78074689027963991002009-02-22T19:51:00.000-05:002009-02-22T19:51:00.000-05:00I was just at the B&M in Philly and tried on t...I was just at the B&M in Philly and tried on the Saturday Pants (Chinos) and City Cafe Cropped Pants. I love the way both of them fit, the material is so smooth and nice! The City Cafe pants weren't on sale so I'll be watching the prices on them. The Saturday pants were $10 off so I purchased a pair.Shirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029127213800123999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-60187037696748233822009-02-22T14:59:00.000-05:002009-02-22T14:59:00.000-05:00Anon@ 1:10PM - I reviewed the solid pleated halter...Anon@ 1:10PM - I reviewed the solid pleated halter dress in my blog. <BR/><BR/>http://gigisgoneshopping.blogspot.com/2009/02/j-crew-silk-twill-pleated-halter-dress.html<BR/><BR/>I will probably end up with a shoe close to my skin tone, or a strappy gold shoe.

I prefer city fit but did purchase the academy and university pants in favorite fit this winter. I find the academy a little lower than the university, which has quite a high rise and can be uncomfortable if I have to sit too long. I really hope that we are not going to see a return of the high rise waist for all pants. Uncomfortable and unflattering for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-87056219738845377492009-02-22T13:28:00.000-05:002009-02-22T13:28:00.000-05:00I just bought a pair of favorite fit super 120s su...I just bought a pair of favorite fit super 120s suiting pants (coal). I am between two JC sizes and sized up... they are big in the waist but I was afraid the smaller size would be too small elsewhere. They are also too big in the "front rise" (?) and that general area- just a weird fit for me. I bought these as my "fat suit pants" because the same size/color in the city fit is a little snug. So the verdict is that the "favorite fit" is my least favorite fit, and I don't plan to order it again.ldchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479030304565888360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-9853923859043097862009-02-22T10:09:00.000-05:002009-02-22T10:09:00.000-05:00OT, but has anyone tried washing the Daisy eyelet ...OT, but has anyone tried washing the Daisy eyelet mini?

They are sooo comfortable, and cute! I've been wearing them pegged with flats, and once with heels and while the heels are a bit of a stretch I think it's a fun, edgy look. I'm a 10 and I was afraid the loose pant look wouldn't work for me, but it really does, I think (which means it can work for everyone!). Anyway I'm definitely going to get the khaki color as soon as they go on sale.

They are similar to the cocktail capris except the inseam is 28", making the Claires perfect ankle pants. <BR/><BR/>When I first wore them, they were loose and I debated whether I should have sized down (I'm a size 6). But after I washed them and put them in the dryer, they fit great. I wear them with an oxford shirt or a tunic blouse. I am 5'10" and have a slim figure. The pants look great with heels, but during the week I wear them with my Lulu flats (I'm a teacher... heels in classroom + occasional clumsiness = danger). They're still cute, but you don't get the WOW! factor.<BR/><BR/>I recently ordered the City-Fit Super 120's Trouser (they were on sale a week and a half ago) but I haven't gotten them yet.

Crew's dresses? I love the style of so many of the dresses, but the cut seems very wonky to me.<BR/><BR/>I have your basic size 4/6 hourglass figure, slightly wider around the hips than the bust. I'm 5'4" so I'm close to average height for American women. However, I think J. Crew expects me to be a 5'10" track star! Every dress with any kind of shape to the waist/skirt (i.e. not an A-line) is waaay too tight through the hips, because the waist and back darts are set too high. <BR/><BR/>The first time I encountered this problem (with the brush-stroke silk sheath dress from last summer), I thought it was just a manufacturing defect. However, since then, I've noticed this "defect" in just about every dress <BR/><BR/>I was just looking at the cotton slub-silk lattice dress (item 12945) that's now on FS for $99.99, and it looks like the model is having the same kind of fit issues! You can tell by the way her hand is strategically placed to hide the places where the fabric would pull around the hips.<BR/><BR/>Alexis--<BR/><BR/>This might be a good subject for a post! I remember that the post about the fit of J. Crew's coats yielded some good information and discussion. :) I would love to know what other JCA's think of the dress fits.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455564910260301585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-76033088795667876632009-02-21T16:59:00.000-05:002009-02-21T16:59:00.000-05:00I don't wear pants because they get stuck in my bu...I don't wear pants because they get stuck in my bum crack.
