The Jules Dress is probably one of my favorites from J Crew. Though it could be longer the shift silhouette is great for me. I find this dress is perfect for date nights with Husband. Since The Boy seems to be making us practice being “empty-nesters” before our time I am taking advantage of it. The Jules is great to just throw on, slip on some heels and grab a clutch and go. I have it in the Wildact, Fanfare and Stripe Silk Twill. I prefer the size 6 in this as the 8 only adds bulk and not length.
OK, yes it’s short…so no dancing all crazy in this dress, or lifting my arms up above my head.
This is partially lined, in the body only, not the sleeves.
The J Crew Babette Heels pair nicely with the dress. The bronze is almost an exact match in the dress.
I know because of the length most will either pass or treat it as a tunic. But from what I’ve seen, despite less than stellar reviews, the Jules always seems to sell out when it hits sale. So some people are liking it.
I decided on this instead of the Origami Dress from my Fall Shopping list. I know I’ll wear this more often than the Origami, especially when it’s paired with tights and boots and this dress is more me. Also, the print reminds me of the Terra Paisley print from a few years ago. 2009 maybe? I had the skirt but sold it because I needed a bigger size but stil haven’t found one. I’d love to see this in a pencil skirt. Wouldn’t that be gorgeous?
So, do you like it or will you be passing on this dress?
