It's so individual!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Viva, Angie</b>, and <b>Marilyn&nbsp;</b>(who like you is a slim petite), and often <b>Smittie</b>&nbsp;also do well at J.

The other day I tried all these different things and had the rare experience of feeling it had all been tailor-made for my body type (I'm also slim hourglass, small chested). Sorry for the tangent, but I couldn't resist sharing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930981 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 13:33:56 +0000 Suz 1930981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jussie</b>, I wear a lot of J. Crew -- I'm one of the few, it seems, who gets a <b>consistent</b> good fit from their clothes. (In fact, I end up buying from them more often than I might like, simply because they fit and I can get delivery here in Canada).&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I am shorter than you are, and not as slim, and I have shorter legs. But our overall figure type is similar -- slim hourglass/ rectangle. Small bust. My shoulders are square and wide, but not broad or fleshy, if that makes sense. The overall measurement is about 39" to 40." (Haven't measured for a while so I might be inaccurate there.) If you want more info on measurements etc. feel free to PM.&nbsp;</p> <p>For reference, I'm consistently an XS in J. Crew knits, a 0 or 2 for woven tops (depending on the cut and how I prefer the fit) and a 2 for skirts and pants. I wear a 0 or 2 in their coats and jackets and a 0 or 2 in dresses, again, depending on cut.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure how this compares to Anthropologie since I don't get opportunities to shop there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930951 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 11:20:53 +0000 K.M. 1930951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>In recent years J.Crew runs very big for my size. For reference: I'm 5'2", around 100 lbs, 34A, and petite all around. In most brands I'm usually an XS or 0. In J.Crew, especially for tops, I'm an XXS or 00. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But then again, as others said, their sizing can be inconsistent, and I've had to size up to XS or 0 sometimes. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930938 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 09:52:06 +0000 Style Fan 1930938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few T-shirts from J Crew and they are xs.&nbsp; They are not clinging and fit me reasonably well.&nbsp; I also have a denim shirt from J Crew that is an xs and it might be considered baggy.<br />I find J Crew to be inconsistent in their sizing (as others have said) and to be designed for someone with a more straight body type than I have.</p> <p>I have a small upper body but a bust.&nbsp; I usually wear an xs or s in tops.&nbsp; I must fit narrowly across the shoulders because that is never an issue for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930913 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 03:55:22 +0000 jussie 1930913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi, Bijou and Staysfit: thank you! Your advice is helpful. I would not be a tall or a petite.... but I think a small or xs would be good. Probably small, or a size 4 US.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930904 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 02:53:07 +0000 Staysfit 1930904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found the sizing from JCrew to be inconsistent. I take a 2 tall in some items and a 4 tall in others. The small regular items are often cut too large/wide for me in the shoulders. The tall sizes seem to be cut more narrowly through the shoulders. I stopped ordering anything in a regular size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930885 Sat, 23 Jun 2018 01:12:23 +0000 Bijou 1930885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie I am Australian size 8/10 and JCrew size 4. Hopefully that helps with the sizing differential. My guess is that you would be XS and a size 2 in JCrew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930051 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 04:27:19 +0000 Gigi 1930051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jussie,&nbsp;</b>if you e-mail J. Crew, they can give you exact measurements for a particular item. They are usually quick to respond. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1930042 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 03:07:43 +0000 jussie 1930042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Viva and Sarah D8: Thanks so much for your wise advice.... Luckily these tops look like they're made of a stretch knit... So that'll be a smidgen more forgiving. &nbsp;If they were woven it's anyones guess what size. &nbsp;<br />Yes ideally I would order a xs and an s to check! Like a proper grown up lol.&nbsp;</p> <p>To accommodate my tummy and waist (which doesn't go inwards at all) I think the xs will likely cling too much. Hehe can I get a half size? Probably the stores will invent that at some point in the future...&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929861 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 16:31:56 +0000 Angie 1929861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go, <b>Viv</b>. I usually take an XXS at J.Crew, and <b>Jussie</b> is slight AND can wear her tops a little big. Ideally, Jussie should order the XS and S.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929858 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 16:22:45 +0000 viva 1929858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you might be right - I do have a couple of XSs hanging around. I'm prepared to be proven wrong. :)</p> <p>But I'd personally still order a S, which is most consistently my size at JCrew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929826 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 15:22:41 +0000 Angie 1929826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I'm not convinced. I think <b>Jussie</b> might need an XS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929777 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:42:22 +0000 viva 1929777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm shaped like you on top, <b>Jussie</b>. I think S is likely to work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929775 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:41:38 +0000 SarahD8 1929775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie, I would go for the Small. I agree with the above posters that j crew runs small on top, in particular narrow in the shoulders. I have broad shoulders, and I find that either I take a S, or the style is a miss for me (that is, if I size up to M to accommodate my shoulders, the fit is poor elsewhere). The style you posted looks relatively fluid (as opposed to super fitted) so I think S has a good chance of working.</p> <p>I’ve also noticed that j crew does a lot of high/tight necklines so that would work GREAT for your need for structure in that area. (It really limits what I can find there, as I need a more open neckline.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929769 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:35:40 +0000 jussie 1929769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva: I think a small will likely be right then. My shoulders are average and my chest is flat.<br /> Thanks for your response. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929763 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:18:19 +0000 viva 1929763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm consistently a S at Anthro and a S at JCrew (typically a 4 in numbered sizing for tops). If you have specific characteristics to address - quite broad shoulders, big bust for your frame, etc. - then maybe size up to a M. But <i>in general</i>, like kkards I find a S Anthro = S JCrew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929761 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:15:25 +0000 jussie 1929761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone for your responses. From what you guys have said thus far I already know xs won’t work. Now it’s to decide between s and m. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929732 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 11:48:07 +0000 Molly Mac 1929732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that in their tshirts I take a M but in the more structured styles I buy a large. I don't have broad shoulders but I do have a large chest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929720 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 10:42:37 +0000 kkards 1929720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if you wear a S in Anthro...you probably wear a S in Jcrew...i find both brands sizing to be generally a the same.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929712 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 09:54:48 +0000 Anonymous 1929712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another with broad shoulders and back. &nbsp;I found their tops usually run small on me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929707 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 09:08:46 +0000 Mainelady 1929707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are cute tops! I agree with Joy about the sizing. On their jereseys, the shoulders seem to run a bit small. I also have broad shoulders, so on their jerseys usually size up and am happy with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929682 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 03:48:48 +0000 3style 1929682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Joy about the small shoulders for T-shirt type material. I’ve had better luck with fitting their sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929678 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 03:33:46 +0000 Greyscale 1929678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find their sizing a little tricky. Their tees are cut slightly straighter than my torso, so I am either an XS or S depending on style. I’m an XS in most brands though not always. And same with their tailored shirts - either a 0 or 2. </p> <p>But, their cuts these days are a bit curvier than a decade ago, I think? I used to avoid shopping there and now I usually find a few winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929676 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 03:05:10 +0000 Anonymous 1929676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot tell if these shirts are knit or woven. I usually wash this fabric by hand or on delicate and hang to dry. I can't address these shirts, but generally for me JCrew runs true to size or a bit small especially through the shoulders, but I have broad shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-tees#post-1929667 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 01:49:00 +0000 jussie 1929667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fabbies,</p> <p>I just wondered if anyone can advise me regarding J Crew sizing? Just generally I mean. &nbsp;I am thinking of ordering one of these tees, sky blue and navy tees are staples for me, and I feel like these could be dressed up a bit too.&nbsp;<br />I don't know whether I would order, xs, s or m. &nbsp;<br />If it helps, in most Anthropologie tops I'm a small.&nbsp;<br />Any tips are appreciated! Thank you.&nbsp; </p>
