J.Crew New Arrivals Fitting Room Reviews (Part I)

Yesterday, I posted a preview post with pictures from the May rollout. I have called my PS, to find out more about prices and dates, but so far I have no other info. She is going to check it out but for now they were only sample items not available for trying on or sale and the prices/dates are unknown.   At least I confirmed that the pencil skirt in the first picture is in fact a pencil skirt, not a dress folded down, like some of you were concerned.

I realize this is a bit anticlimactic after yesterday's pictures and wish I could have tried on all of the items pictured yesterday. As soon as I have an update, I will let you know about the prices, and if I have ability to try them, I certainly will.


Here are the items I was able to try on:

Silk bow cami in stripe

Silk bow cami in stripe


This blouse also comes in floral (same as pencil skirt you can see below) and purple. I tried my regular size 6 and the fit is good but you need a strapless bra.  I think a racerback is questionable because the strip of fabric around the neck is very narrow, but I did not have one on to try it. That is a deal breaker for me but if don't mind the strapless bra it is a pretty top. Will also look great with a cardigan or blazer.


Also comes in floral and solid

Untied it works too, I think


$98, 100% silk

Café capri in geranium lace

There is quite a few new versions of cafe capri: leopard, anchor aweight, seersucker, orange red silk with purple diamonds and this one in lace.

Capris size 4, TTS
The fit is TTS, Like other cafe capris. I am wearing size 4 in the pictures and it was a good fit. I woudl not have picked them for the fitting room but my daughter who was with me insisted that I tried them on and I was pleasantly surprised taht I quite liked them. They were also rather comfortable but I would be afraid they are easy to snag.  That said they seemed pretty sturdy, just my general idea about lace pants.

Lace detail

$148, 80& cotton, 20% poly, lining 100% cotton.

Lace Top in Jade Green

This is a nice top with textural interest. The color is TDF.  I was happy to see something else than the flag colors.  This would probably match the Casbah print factory skirt.




Size M fits well so TTS to small


$69.50, 100% cotton

Striped mint green t-shirt. 

Again, another item picked by my 9 year old and rather nice and flattering. I shoudl probably pay more attention to her advice. The scoop is pretty low but not indecent. It felt very soft and draped well.

Size Small, TTS

$39.50, 88% rayon, 12% polyester

Linen mint cable sweater

Pretty color but fits big and rather shapeless. I didn't plan it this way but it actually makes a nice outfit with the striped tee and the capris.

Size Small



Thin and very see through


$79.50, 100% linen
