J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs!}

This is the weekly "J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs}" post, to help each other share our reviews.

So if you have recently purchased, or stopped by a J.Crew store to try on an item (or two) from J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Also, this request is not just limited to clothes. Please feel free to discuss bags, shoes, jewelry, accessories, etc.

In particular, if you could mention a few of the noteworthy details like fit, size, fabric, and the like— that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance! :)

    1. I spent 4x my budget - but bought everything in multiple sizes 'cause with this sale im not taking my chances that ANYTHING will be left in 48 hours. Im so happy. Very very few items excluded at 1:34am cental.

    2. Yes, I agree. Buy it now if you want it because it could sell out or be excluded later on. It looks like everything in the new roll out is included but anything that was excluded from the last promo is still excluded (like the signet bag, 3rd party items, etc...). Happy shopping!

    3. Also, Madewell is offering 25% off your purchase (I'm sure their are some exclusions).

    4. Agree with Niki - I ordered two sizes of several items as I don't want to take chances that things will sell out! I bought several of the tortoise clamp bracelets - great gifts coming in at under $15 a pop!

    7. No luck on any popbacks for me, but thanks for pointing out the 10% Ebates bonus. If you use their mobile app, it's 11%!

  3. I preordered the Quilted Lady Jacket in Stewart Plaid. It is TINY. I can wear a 000, a 00 and I ordered the 00. It is VERY tight across the bust, the upper arms. A lot of people won't be able to wear this. I am sending it back and HOPING that a 0 will fit. It also may be too small. The sizing is really off on this one.

    1. It'seems tts for me (and I am kind of busty), maybe you got a fluke?

    2. I am thin. No bust. It is very tight on me across the chest and in the arms. It fits everywhere else. I am 5'3 100 pounds and fit. It won't work on a lot of people.

  4. Anyone have any comments on the A-line dress in double-serge wool? I'm thinking about going out of my comfort zone and ordering the winter white. This summer's A-line matelasse dress fit well so fingers crossed it's the same cut.

    1. I tried it on Sunday. It's very nice, heavier wool, lined. It runs TTS. I will need to wear a spanx, at least for the white. I liked it a lot. It's nicer than the online photos. I want the lilac color. HTH

    1. Thank you for this! I'd ordered the Martie pant in my normal (cotton) Martie size this morning so I just emailed CS to see if I could swap them with the next size up... hopefully it's a go!

    2. Yes, thank you Ema for reviewing new arrivals!

  6. Does anyone know how the new steward plaid perfect shirt compares to old stewart plaid perfects shirt? I have the old one, and find the colors a bit muted for my taste. I'm wondering if the new offering is brighter.

    1. LilyBart, I don't have the older Stewart plaid but I have read here that some people think the current one is brighter/more saturated. I bought the perfect shirt last year and really like it!

      Delete
    2. LilyBart, I have the original (oldest version) and last years Stewart plaid shirt. Last years is def brighter than my old one. I too was finding my old one a bit muted, last years had more saturated colours in it. Side by side in my closet the color difference is noticeable. Hth

    3. I have pics of the old and new one on my IG @lilybart
