Above are two of my most recent office-approriate tall purchases from J.Crew. I had to order them online since J.Crew does not carry tall dress sizes in store (so lame!) and I'm still waiting for them to arrive. I ordered size 4T after trying on the regular sizes in store. Hopefully they fit—fingers crossed!
- The Tall Memo Dress in Super 120s in heather flannel (on sale). This dress is perfect for fall and I'm in love with the pretty heather gray color.
- The Tall Emmaleigh dress in Super 120s in black. I've had my eye on this dress for quite a while. It's the perfect black office dress that I never had. It's such a classic style and I'm hoping that the tall size will be flattering on me. I'll let you know how it turns out!
Love them! I need to invest in some dresses like that!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how you like them. I've had my eye on both for awhile but haven't committed. And I agree that it's SO LAME that the don't carry the tall line in the store. Blah!
ReplyDeleteI have the Tall memo dress in Super 120s in the heather gray as well as the blue. Both were on sale. Amazing dress. So flattering and slimming. Each year they make it in new colors.
ReplyDeleteAt least J Crew is consistent in that they don't carry petites in store either. After talking to the style specialist, J crew informed me that all the measurements for the tall sizes are the same except that the sleeves and the length of the dress. So if you tried it on in store, it should fit more beautifully in the tall size.
I sized down as well for the memo dress. Need tips on how to accessorize it. I wore it with a pearl necklace and once with a short sleeved crisp thin white dress shirt (looked preppy but I loved it). But as far as shoes (flats and pumps), tights for fall?, and jewelry, I need help! Can't wait to see your post on the memo dress.
I was thinking the gray Memo dress would look lovely with a crisp white button down and a fun belt. The dresses should arrive on Tuesday so I'll play around with a few looks before I publish my favorite. I'm glad to hear that they were flattering and slimming on you!
DeleteHave you received the jcrew dresses? When can we expect your post reviewing them?
ReplyDeleteYes I received the dresses and I plan on posting a review of the Memo dress this Wednesday! I'll post about the Emmaleigh dress next week. I'll also be posting a lookbook of the Tall No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge Wool this week. Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your reviews. Did you get both dresses on sale?
ReplyDeleteI found that the Tall No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Double Serge (got it in the retro jade and the herringbone) is unusually long. I had to go exchange them for the regular size which fit perfectly. I'm curious as to whether you had the same problem. These are my first wool No. 2 skirts. What color did you get yours in?
I got it in the burgundy color...perfect for Fall! It is long, but I've been looking for a longer skirt. I'm hoping to get a post out tonight about it!
DeleteI want to have that too in my closet.. :D
