* Flyaway cardigan ($49.99) - Size S - I'd say you're ok to size down one on this. I didn't like the open feel of it and it seemed a bit out of place at J Crew, matronly, if you will. I guess you can belt it or gussy it up in some other way. Cotton/nylon, machine wash. Thumbs up on that.
* Downtown skinny jean in clear sky wash (promo $88) - Size 28 - A bit tight. I'm about 9.5 weeks here, but still wouldn't take this size. I usually take 29 in J Crew jeans. I've recvd them and they fit better. They may be a little loose post-maternity, but I prefer that over the legging look. Love the lighter wash! And love that it's even, for the most part, and without any of that asinine whiskering. From The Mothership
ajr said, 'I also ordered the downtown skinnies in the clear sky wash. I'm in between 27 and 28 in JC pants that are sized this way - usually 27 in matchstick and 28 in toothpick - but a consistent 4 in pants with that sizing. Also 4 in skirts, sometimes could go smaller but usually go up for length. Anyway, according to the measurements CS gave me, I was right in between so I ordered both 27 and 28. 28's fit perfectly. I couldn't even get the 27s on. Anyway, nice lightweight denim, soft, perfect for spring/summer, nice skinny but not too skintight fit. I really like them. But sheesh the sizing is such a nightmare.'
math teacher said, 'I am a 28 in their newer toothpick (29 when they first came out). I tried on the lighter toothpick and the downtown skinny and the 28's were too small in the toothpick and the 29's were too big in the downtown skinnies. Tried the dt skinnies in 28 and loved them. I really think you have to try on to know for sure. I've tried the same pant on in the same size and will have one pair fit better than others. It's a pain and I hate it, but that's how it goes for me at JC'
Size 28 - Waist = 32.25", High hip = 34.25", High thigh (1" below crotch) - 21.25", Lower thigh circumference (7" below crotch) = 17.25"
Size 29 - Waist = 33.25", High hip = 35.25", High thigh (1" below crotch) - 22", Lower thigh circumference (7" below crotch) = 21.25", Lower thigh circumference (7" below crotch) = 17.75"
9.5 weeks
* Drapey stripe tee ($29.99) - Size M - I think if I were getting this to wear now, I'd get a size M. I usually take S in J Crew tops.
20.5 weeks, belly = 36"Pants (4): J Crew 2010
Sandals: J Crew SU10
Size S - I would get this size if I wanted to wear it non-maternity. The neckline goes towards the boatneck style, but not that wide. It's drapey, but not too too loose, I don't think. It seemed to grab the body, so it shouldn't be slouchy/sloppy on you. This color would go good w/the woolen Minnies in warm taupe as seen on yogagirl.
The frayed trim (bleeeach) they sewed on is noticeable up-close. Not too noticeable far away.
* Silk utility tee ($34.99) - $29.99 in-store - Size 4 - Sold out online at the moment. I felt meh about this. It might've been the faded color. I think a richer color would've been nicer. See it on Shopping On the Fly and on Shop With M.
I noticed the matte jersey cami (39842, $128) is now $49.99. It comes in faded white or artillery fatigue (pictured). J Crew Collection. That's a bargain.
