J Crew - plaid Eliza tee

J Crew's plaid Eliza top (32644) runs 0-14 and is silk taffeta. The color pattern is called black red. The ticket color abbreviation is BWH. Marked to $69.99 in-store as of 12/2/10.


Size 4 - I didn't like the black beading. They may as well have hung that shiny, stringy tinsel from it. The beading had a sad, cheap vibe. I didn't investigate whether it could easily be removed. Other than that I gave it a thumb to the side, slightly tilting up. The top is great. It looks a little boxy, but I don't recall wondering if a 2 would fit better. If I see it again in 2, I will try it on. If you like the idea of plaid silk, but want sleeves, visit the plaid Pemberley blouse from Madewell.

I removed the black necklace beading as follows. In another thread, someone asked can I reattach it. Not the way I removed it. You might be able to remove large pieces, but you'd definitely have to sew it back on again.

Anyone see/try/buy...?
