Store looked fabulous but I had all misses in the change room and left empty handed. <br /><br />Shadow stripe top in olive. Too stiff, strange fabric blend (viscose and poly). Big exposed zipper in back. Would need to wear a cami under this for work, not sure that it would be appropriate even then. Tight in chest (and I am not large chested). Nice length in back. <br /><br />Lightweight camp short in whisper lame. Just didn't feel it. Also there was a cut in the fabric on right arm. Very sheer. <br /><br />Photo floral tee. Nicely fitted. Wished it was longer. Looked too sweet and girlish on me. <br /><br />Combo sweater in stripe. I soooo wanted to love this but it was about 8" too wide on each side. It's huge!!! I noticed on the way out that the stylist had pinned it in the window. If only it looked like that on! <br /><br />Didn't try to laser cut floral dress but it looked really lovely. If only I had somewhere to wear it. Also noticed a pair of skinny full length dress pants in a gorgeous blue stretchy looking fabric (like the Minnie fabric) near the front. If only they weren't full length... Shirts, tops, jeans and bags were 25% off. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-84093806854335180272015-03-21T21:50:48.518-04:002015-03-21T21:50:48.518-04:00Amy, the exact same thing started happening to me ...Amy, the exact same thing started happening to me this season. I first noticed it with the Indigo Gauze Popover. Huge from the armpits and part of the sleeve, creating very weird creases. In the past, I have occasionally had problems with sleeves being on the tighter side.

The armholes are really big and have a stretched out look to them. It's hard to shop there any more without trying things on. I expect to have to try on pants or denim, but I should be able to buy a tank top or pullover sweater by eyeballing it in the store. Usually I can play spot-the-problem (like a dropped shoulder or too cropped or too wide or oversized), but the Photo Floral Tank surprised me. I can blindly order certain things from J. Crew, like chino shorts or vintage tees, but the rest of it is usually sizing roulette.catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-735768687010013482015-03-21T10:01:58.648-04:002015-03-21T10:01:58.648-04:00Thanks for sharing that article.

(Long story, but I did have an associate check locations for me.) After some advice in a previous post, I went back to the store where I didn't get the Rolled-Sleeve Pocket Tee in Stripe earlier this week because it wasn't 25%-off like it was online, but they held firm to the idea that some of the sale items are online only and not in-store. Of the four locations I went to, they seemed to be the only one that insisted that the online and in-store sales are different? I'm not really sure why, and I'd understand if the site said the 25%-off was online only, but it does say it's both store and online in the details.<br /><br />Anyway, it was the only one in the city that had my size for that rolled-sleeve shirt, so I left it and ended up going to the aforementioned fourth store and getting the Midweight Stripe Tee in the Heather Periwinkle colour. That store did have give me 25%-off like it is online. And I picked up a cute pair of socks from the clearance section as well, even though 30%-off seems a little stuff compared to past final sales discounts.Xanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705291440110092322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-48594345616888000212015-03-20T22:43:38.098-04:002015-03-20T22:43:38.098-04:00Stopping by this weekend to do a huge return for t...Stopping by this weekend to do a huge return for three different online orders; pretty much returning everything. Sizing has been inconsistent for me lately, especially on the pants - either too large or too tight. For example, I tried on the Ryder pant, and as much as I liked the material, it was too snug. The Martie pant in the same size fit tts. Also, I've noticed that some of the seams on the pants are crooked; if the zipper is centered on the front, then the back seams are askew (ankle-zip cargo pant B8082). Thought I just received a bad pair and re-ordered only to find the same problem. Then I examined the pants on the model and the seams were off in the pics too.

Mmm, I beg to differ. To me bargain basement is 80-90% off, rock bottom. That nutty patchwork sequin skirt that was in the sale section for almost 2 years was not basement pricedd, nor are most things in the sale section. The poor offerings at J Crew have affected not only my JC shopping, but my Factory and even Madewell. I was turned off by Madewell this winter after purchasing the merino turtleneck sweaterdress. I was shocked by the amount of pillage after wearing for 1 whole day. I returned the second still new with tag sweaterdress and showed them the first. If I had to shave that much every time I used the dress, there would be nothing left of it in no time. Now, I just pass altogether. The last thing I gladly paid for full price was the silk green/navy striped boyfriend shirt from a few years ago and the yellow paisley midi pencil skirt from 2 years ago.

As a long time JCrew customer, I found several points distressing...fixing the woman's line should be first and foremost on Mickey's list...and expansion can come later. Like a lot many, my purchases have all gone way down. Just about the only things on my wish list is stuff that is sold out and that I'm stalking. It's still early in terms of spring/summer items, but honestly I'm not seeing all that much of an improvement. I just don't get it...I firmly believe if they really looked at what is selling well they would realize it was the more classic well made pieces. <br /><br />I'm so rooting for them but this has been going on way to long and I think we should have seen more signs of change by now.JAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033074626930796232noreply@blogger.com
