Elizabeth P, lozz_oz - the jeans were a onesie in the store. I didn't even plan to try them on, but I'd never tried on that brand before, and I remember Janet saying she had good luck with the brand. I didn't love the wrinkling up top or the show through on the thigh. Plus, I was literally wearing the one dress I can imagine I have in my closet to best create the jean over dress look from what I own.
Joy - the dress fits TTS for me. It's comfy, fairly thick cotton with no show through. Pretty straight cut. I'm wearing a tall, and it's above knee length. I'd call it soft. It's almost too thick to be breezy in my heat, but I run hot and I was wearing it in 102* weather. And I find it on the verge of too casual to wear out with the shorter length, so I personally don't wear it anywhere but the most casual of places (though I think the jeans really dress it up)
I remember trying on Halogen kick crop flares last NAS before returning them for finding the proportions fussy. I think I like the look with sandals. I have the height to carry it, so will mentally keep that in mind too.
