I returned the ratti into the wild bandana for the same reason.i love the pattern but it was too stiff and the size didn't really work. <br />Someone posted on IG that factory has Hawaiian print bandanas for $6. They look super cute. I bought one for me and one for my sister who just returned from Hawaii. They also have a men's short sleeve shirt in a similar pattern (very retro) I got for my husband for a great price.

The eyelet dress I did not even try on because I tried on the green in the stores last weekend and it was a bust. 0 and 2 both fit (weird) but the both had that weird gap thing right after the waist. Someone had suggested a belt. I actually had corrected a similar problem on a non JC dress by sewing a hidden clasp between the buttons. That non JC dress cost $10 at a sample sale and I was fine with that. I am not doing that for a dress that cost $78 on sale. <br />The chambray pants were a disappointment. The quality was great, but the fit was weird. I had ordered the 0 and it fit too well - I wanted it a little loose, so I reordered one size up. I determined that the size wasn't the issue - it's the darn high rise. It is so high waisted that I looked like I had a short torso and a bubble butt in the back. The lemon print bandana is adorable but I should have paid more attention to the size - it is a 19 inch square and I thought for some reason it was 32 inches. It's a great item but I just need a larger square scarf. 19 inches around my neck makes me look like a 1950s flight attendant. So back everything goes, and I think I will just stay off this cycle of order/re-order that I've been stuck in for the past 1.5 months. eeps.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10627356547323862881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-33226629377164773062017-04-27T09:54:33.251-04:002017-04-27T09:54:33.251-04:00Oh, that's awesome!

Someone mentioned that JC seems to be returning to the linen that they used to use and that it's much better. <br /><br />I actually just received the matching Pencil Skirt with RickRack (in Petite) and it's a quality piece, as you mentioned, but the fit is off for me in my usual pencil skirt. I'm going to re-order to see if maybe this one was a fluke, but the hips are too big. (i can't size down.) Hoping the new one works, as I love the White with Navy detail - such a classic combo!

The shape is sophisticated, the finishing is polished, and the pop of color is so fun with an otherwise neutral ensemble. I've noticed people looking at them. This color is on sale right now. Not made in Italy, but all leather and a good buy. I found it tts.

I ...Oh that's too bad about these dresses, Jan! I had the same issue with the Eyelet dress, but I was so glad to see that it worked for others, as it's a quality dress. <br /><br />The Gingham ruffle seems like it has more potential for you, however, if there is something that isn't totally squaring away with you, I think I might return it in your place. It feels like a tough decision sometimes, but when I'm in this position, I remind myself that something else will come along that I will REALLY love, without effort - one of those pieces that I'm excited to wear. (Especially if the piece isn't a MUST, or even just a basic.) <br /><br />I hope you get an answer about the dry-cleaning aspect either way! I looked at the reviews and none seemed to mention anything about this. I guess I would stick to dry cleaning with this piece, if only b/c I wonder if doing so helps preserve the 'crisp' aspect. I can also see what you mean about the top part being big -- i see it in the blogger photos (& one review also mentioned this.)<br /><br />Either way, good luck w/ whatever you decide!

I got this in a size 0... so definitely size down... I don't think I could get a 00 because of the shoulders. It is very boxy in the body. The aqua color is beautiful (was worried it might be too bright) and it is a nice thick substantial linen. My only gripe is the button placement... Unbutton one too many and I feel like I'm showing off the goods... One less unbuttoned and I feel too closed up. But it's not a deal breaker.
