I am a big fan of their pencil skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615648 Wed, 09 May 2012 03:25:00 +0000 sarah 615648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Jonesy. Yes, I'm beginning to think that with pencil skirts, it's all about the waist/hip ratio and where the skirt sits, and everyone is a bit different... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615645 Wed, 09 May 2012 03:16:55 +0000 Jonesy 615645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just my two cents: I wear my regular size in all variations of the J. Crew pencil. Interesting that the SA said that about the longer paisley one, Denise--on me it fits smaller than the other styles, because it's made to sit closer to the natural waist vs. a little lower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615603 Wed, 09 May 2012 02:14:51 +0000 sarah 615603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Inge and Denise. I ordered the 2P and 4P, since 4P is my normal size (I wear my normal size in the Halogen, unlike everyone else, I think because of my lack of hips).</p> <p>I ordered two that are on sale: </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale/AllProducts/PRDOVR~72982/99102644039/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~20+17+4294967041~15~~~~~~~/72982.jsp">feather paisley</a> which I saw in the store and which is very pretty, with a little bit of orange in it, and the <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale/AllProducts/PRDOVR~64008/99102586822/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~15~~20+17+4294967041~15~~~~~~~/64008.jsp">gardenshade floral</a>, which was only available in 2P, so I hope you're right, Denise, and they run big! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615405 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:51:10 +0000 CocoLion 615405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on a number of skirts in store and found that 2-4-6 all fit depending on the style. In the pencil style, size 4 which is my regular size, fit well. I did get the paisley skirt in a size 2, the SA said that model ran a little larger than others. So I would go with your regular size, not necessarily the Halogen size (which to my understanding runs big).</p> <p>ETA: the paisley skirt I'm referring to is the No. 2 Long, that's the one I got in a 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615397 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:42:27 +0000 Inge 615397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about their petite sizing, but I ordered my regular size in the Telegraph pencil skirt and it fits very well. Hope this helps.<br /> Which colours are you trying, Sarah?-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615069 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:20:32 +0000 sarah 615069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, CF - that's good to know. I am a rectangle with apple tendencies, so that actually sounds good to me (and means I have to size up a bit in the Halogen, because it's more pear fitted). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615067 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:18:46 +0000 cinnamon fern 615067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wavered between 0 and 2 in the Halogen and ended up with 2. I wavered between 2 and 4 in the #2 pencil and ended up with 2 again. The #2 pencil is bigger in the waist and smaller everywhere else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-pencil-skirt-sizing#post-615060 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:14:31 +0000 sarah 615060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi Ladies,</p> <p>Does anyone know how JCrew skirts fit? I'm interested in ordering some petites, but am not sure which size to try. I wear a 4P in the Halogen...</p> <p>thanks for any advice. </p>
