Limited-edition Anna October^© X J.Crew patchwork skirt in luster crepe

I bought this as part of my bridal wardrobe for upcoming events and the material is really beautiful. Despite what some of the other reviewers say about it, the reality is, this skirt IS NOT 100% opaque. Some of the fabric panels are more translucent than others. Ex., when tucking a matching Jcrew ivory silk top into it, I could see the bottom hem of the top. Being in my ~bridal era~, I tried tucking the top into nude shapewear I had in my closet and this did help. I may buy a skirt slip on Amazon to see if this fully does the trick. It's a really beautiful skirt, and I'm already fully committed, but be aware that it is high maintenance to make it work if you're not just going to wear something oversized over it (like the model).

This is a pretty skirt, but it wrinkles easily, so might not be a great choice for travel. I tried both a 10 and a 12 and noticed the waist, which is a thin elastic band, almost like an underwear elastic, measured exactly the same! The difference, however, was in the hip. I found that the skirt is a little narrow not so much at the hipline, but a little below, at the upper thigh, so if you are curvy, you will probably be better off choosing a larger size so it is not so snug at the upper thigh. This skirt is really cut for someone who is stick straight.

[Employee of jcrew] I bought this recently for an upcoming baby shower and Christening in February. I’m going to style with a cream cashmere sweater and booties. Some people say it’s a bit sheer, I didn’t have that issue at all with nude under garments. I took a size 2, I’m 5’7” 125 lbs. I felt it was a little narrow in the hip, so I went with a 2. Can easily be styled dressier or casual
