I have been shopping a JCrew since the early 90s and it has always been one of my favorite go to brands. Sadly, I have feared that the brand is no longer worthy of my business. This is a very cute dress, seemingly well made (if extremely wrinkled upon arrival) and with a very flattering design. It also runs 1 to 2 sizes small. However, the quality is extremely lacking. The material in the front of the bodice of the dress has an eight inch vertical defect in the fabric, and there is a four inch spot in the side seam at the hem where not enough seam allowance was let for the top stitching and the fabric is raw and fraying. There is no repair for this. The dress to my standards is basically unwearable. Sadly I need it for a white dress code midsummer party tomorrow, so I have to wear it and just try to forget about the defects. I will dispose of it (donate) after the one wear. Very sad, as that truly is the definition of fast fashion.

I own this in the blue/white thin stripe and the white. I love them both. Perfect fit and length. Very flattering as the top is fitted and the below that it has a nice soft flare that doesn’t make your hips look big. For reference I’m 5’5”, 123lbs, 34-26-37. Bought XS/2

I am 5’5” and normally wear a Regular Size Small or Regular 6 . After reading the reviews, I sized up and so glad I did. I am a 36D and even though I sized up to an 8 It was more snug than I like in the chest so I got a 10 and love how it fits. This dress is absolutely gorgeous and the quality is outstanding. It looks amazing on. I love it so much that I got both the striped and the floral. Grab this while you can. By the way the length was perfect.
