J Crew Crepe Maxi Dress

I originally tried on the Crepe Maxi Dress in-store in the Navy and held of on sharing with you because I ordered the Ruby color online. I have last year’s silk version in Black and Brilliant Blueberry and loved them. I wore them all Summer long. I was hoping the Crepe Maxi Dress would work for me, especially in the Ruby.

The Navy was a true Navy with no hints of black. It was very pretty IRL. If I didn’t have the Blueberry I might have bought this one.

  

Both the Navy and Ruby are a size Small. Though just a little snug across the chest the fit was good. I wouldn’t size up to a Medium. The straps are adjustable but they are pretty thin. I am wearing one of the Calvin Klein slips I bought last year for the other maxi dress and the dress straps do not cover it. This also has a slit up the back from the hem to just to the back of the knee. I actually like that as it gives you a little more room to take a large step if needed. The Ruby color is very pretty IRL.

  
I know this is in the Beach Cover-Up section but I would love to wear this as a dress. I do not want to have to wear a strapless bra to do that so I’ll be returning the dress in Ruby. The Black and the Ruby are already on sale. There is also the Crepe Dress which is a short version in Regal Blue and Black.
