All day I was so excited to go home and try it on. Naturally, you can tell what's coming next. I opened the box only to find every item *except* the dress. Gah! I had had such good luck until now I guess it figures it had to happen sometime. I called CS and the guy I talked to was extremely apologetic (he must have said "I'm sorry" at least 10 times) but of course the dress is already sold out in peony so there was nothing they could do but issue me a refund. If anyone has a size 4 in peony they're looking to resell, let me know...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-38038989907502074772008-12-16T19:07:00.000-05:002008-12-16T19:07:00.000-05:00i wanted to order the dress but thought that fit w...i wanted to order the dress but thought that fit would matter a lot and was hoping to find it at the store but of course it has to be catalog/jcrew.com only =( and i'm surprised they didn't make petite sizes for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-68834287562536756392008-12-16T13:49:00.000-05:002008-12-16T13:49:00.000-05:00I purchased this dress and am also returning it.

I ordered the dress in bright yellow and did not like the fabric or the color. I agree with the other reviewer who said it gives a cone like effect. This dress is not flattering at all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-87048620920266532112008-12-16T11:59:00.000-05:002008-12-16T11:59:00.000-05:00Hi all, May I add my thanks to those of my fellow ...Hi all, <BR/><BR/>May I add my thanks to those of my fellow aficionadas? Like Stacie, Lesley & Melanie I have been looking at it longingly. However, like himmiefan, I'm not to sure about the styling. It looks a little stiff, esp in the bodice & sleeves. I know that that "Mad Men" look is pretty popular right now. It's just a bit much for me. <BR/><BR/>I really wish that they had other items in this fabric as I love the colour & herringbone pattern. Too bad they didn't make some of this peony in the 99602 pencil skirt. <BR/><BR/>Oh well, I guess I'll say my $$$$ for an item that I can love unconditionally :}<BR/><BR/>Happy hunting fellow aficionadas!<BR/><BR/>Heather:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-45774612050029495672008-12-16T11:17:00.000-05:002008-12-16T11:17:00.000-05:00this dress doesn't even look comfortable. the mode...this dress doesn't even look comfortable. the model wearing it looks like she is confined in the shoulder, chest area. i bet this dress will be on DEEP discount soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-52031996146629237602008-12-16T11:11:00.000-05:002008-12-16T11:11:00.000-05:00I too passed on this dress because even though I l...I too passed on this dress because even though I love the top part, the skirt part would make me look huge. A pencil skirt would look better.

The fabric was too insubstantial to avoid wear on the seat, but it was too structured at the bust, creating a cone-like effect. (Think Madonna's 1980s tours... not exactly what I had hoped for!) I'm generally a 4 in J.Crew dresses, but that was a bit too roomy; ordering a size down for comparison may be wise. I contemplated doing so but decided that I really did not like the dress regardless! I had ordered the dress in bright papaya, which was slightly more orange than the photo suggested but was an otherwise attractive color.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89521896303786768592008-12-16T00:44:00.000-05:002008-12-16T00:44:00.000-05:00Thanks for the review, I have been eyeing this dre...Thanks for the review, I have been eyeing this dress and think its lovely!Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000903733479101210noreply@blogger.com
