I have a last few items from J Crew’s latest roll-out that I was able to try on in-store. The print is the Polynesian Floral.
~ Polynesian Floral Short, size 6 ~
My VPS gave me this size and it fits fine though when I sit it’s fairly snug in the legs. I would size to my normal 8 for these shorts. I like the print, though I wish there was some orange in it like the Embellished Shirt below. For me, I think I would struggle with styling the shorts with an appropriate colored top.
~ Notched Shell in Embellished Polynesian Floral, size 8 ~
The material has no give in this shirt so the size 8 is a good fit. I like the touch of orange from the embellishment. The notch at the neckline isn’t too low or cleavage-exposing. Between this and the shorts I would choose the top.
~ Sleeveless Polynesian Floral Dress, size 8 ~
The dress is the same design as the Chevron-Stripe Dress. I was able to try an 8 on in this dress and that was a good fit. I feel comfortable in it and it doesn’t feel snug anywhere.
The issue I do have with the dress is the back. The criss-cross with the opening is still saggy. I feel it should lay flat. I think an 8 Petite will fix that issue for me.
The Polynesian Floral print is cute but doesn’t really “wow” me right now. My store did not have the Postage Stamp Mini Skirt which I was looking forward to seeing.
What do you think of the Polynesian Floral print?
