J Crew – Vintage Scarf Dress, Chiffon Dress in Marble Print

~ Vintage Scarf Dress, size 6 ~

Wow! This dress sold out quickly. I can see why too. It’s very lovely on and fits well. The size 6 is good and I wouldn’t go up to an 8 in this. In Petites, I would take an 8P. I thought the print looked a little old-fashioned online but in-person it’s very pretty. The dress feels light and airy and it certainly is one I would wear a lot in the Spring in Summer. I have a few this Summer that are in constant rotation but they are cotton. This silk dress still looks casual enough to wear as a work-from-home outfit. I can tell you that it also works with the Downtown Field Jacket in Deep Burgundy, so it would transition well into Fall.

This looks like the same style as the Vintage Scarf Dress, right? One difference is the zipper. The Vintage Scarf Dress has a back-zip while this dress has a side-zip. That is what gave me trouble and made me size to an 8 from the original 6 I had in the dressing room with me. The material and print are nice but I still feel a little snug at the waistband. The shoulders and chest fit well. The material not tight or pulling. The length is just above the knee.

The dress is lined but the lining is partially sown on the dress. The bodice of the slip, particularly the straps are loose and so there are bra keeps to help them stay put.

I really do like the print and colors. I think they all mix very well together.

I really wanted the Chiffon Dress in Marble Print to work out. I’m not committed enough to being uncomfortable at the waist right now to get it and make it work. And I would probably need to size to a 10 Petite to make that fit but then I feel it will be too loose up top.

Oh well, there will be others!

Have a Great Day!
