Would you mind PM'g me your measurements or size in other brands so I can figure it out? I've never actually had luck at JCrew and I don't remember how I size with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-great-summer-dress-for-hourglasses-at-jcrew#post-1681370 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 14:28:16 +0000 Tanya 1681370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, everyone.&nbsp; I feel that this was a great purchase and the dress should get lots of wear for years to come.<br />Suz, if you are really interested, I can always send you the dress from here.<br />Jules, you are right, I would wear this to day events, as well as work, dinner out, pretty much anything that is not super dressy like a cocktail affair or super casual like picnic.<br />Viva, thank you. I never tire of hearing that, it makes me think like my practices are paying off, so you can keep saying it as many times as you'd like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-great-summer-dress-for-hourglasses-at-jcrew#post-1681186 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 22:35:02 +0000 Lyn D. 1681186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love such 'out of the blue' finds and the stories behind them.<br />It looks beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-great-summer-dress-for-hourglasses-at-jcrew#post-1681108 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 18:12:36 +0000 Nadya 1681108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is BRILLIANT on you.

Does it run TTS?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-great-summer-dress-for-hourglasses-at-jcrew#post-1680829 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 01:13:05 +0000 Aida 1680829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!! What a find (especially no alterations needed). Could also be worn with a cropped dressy jacket for your business casual capsule. This shade of blue is sooooo good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-great-summer-dress-for-hourglasses-at-jcrew#post-1680826 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 01:11:03 +0000 Tanya 1680826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I found myself at the local mall this morning since I needed a new iPhone charger, and I couldn't resist stopping by JCrew to"browse".&nbsp; To my surprise, as I thought I have finished shopping for this season, half an hour later I emerged with new blue dress!<br />The background of the purchase is that I have been considering getting one or two new summer dresses that were work appropriate a couple of months ago as a reward for getting my internship, but never did so because I had a long list for requirements that I couldn't find in my price range.<br />Anyway, this dress fulfills all of those: it is breezy, made of natural materials (cotton poplin lined in cotton), fits of the rack without the need for alterations (very rare for me in tailored dresses), it is long enough and covered enough for work, and the style is not very trendy.&nbsp; The cut is a cross of fit-and-flare and wrap dress; it has two front panels you wrap around and tie (#2), it is very well made and even has pockets.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: I forgot to say that it is currently on huge sale for less than half of the original price.</p>
