I seriously think they will sell moch more of them if they did make them 4 inch longer. They could easily be hemmed for those who find them too short. If this is cost cutting it is very short sighted when those dresses end up in rock bottom sale. My older daughter would wear this length but she is not interested in J.Crew dresses at all, too expensive for her and too old lady-ish for her fashion sense.ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-54387366416155493092012-08-01T09:24:04.264-04:002012-08-01T09:24:04.264-04:00I am all about basics and repeating what already w...I am all about basics and repeating what already works but it is hard to get excited about the same dress, just in different color/print.

My one silly purchase this season was my elephant bracelet. <br />I am trying a few things in Atlanta but I think the things I ordered will be returned. I'll be sure to bring my camera though!<br />That Jules dress! It works perfect on my sister, but she is only 4'10" and 80 lbs. The length is great on her.

Gorgeous, but I told the SA same thing, that it needed 4 more inches. Why is the Jules dress so short? (and has anyone seen that jade green dress yet? so pretty and sadly just too short!).<br /><br />I like the lighter color in the peplum jacket. I despise the Bennett chinos on myself but they look nice on you. They are unforgiving on me, even in larger sizes. I'm feeling meh about the snowcat print. The Nicky top is nice enough but I probably wouldn't buy it unless I needed a layering piece under jackets. <br /><br />Thanks for the reviews!!catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-47263036826532166252012-07-31T14:31:13.577-04:002012-07-31T14:31:13.577-04:00Good point about the sameness, seems like the only...Good point about the sameness, seems like the only thing that changes from year to year are the construction details - hems, seam allowances, linings, waistbands, depth of pockets, size of beltloops....wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-17731874102444844072012-07-31T14:28:03.866-04:002012-07-31T14:28:03.866-04:00I wasn't sure about the snow cat print but the...I wasn't sure about the snow cat print but they look nice on you!
