It is a nice silk. Not the very thick silk as the Heart-throb boyshirt. Some people say they don't like about its sheerness. But I find it acceptable as it is black and not a light base color.
However, I find the fit a little strange. I am usually between a size 4 or 6 for J. Crew shirts. I took a bigger size of 6 for this one. It fits nice but I find it a little wee tight around the armpits, i.e. it would be hard to lift your arms up high when I'm wearing this shirt. Also, the back is a little longer than the front which I don't have a problem with. I think it would be great to pair with skinny jeans to hid the behind :)

I got this before the non-stop J. Crew promo in the past 2 weeks. So if you are obsessed with polka dots, don't let this shirt get away. There is a 30% off final sale items (use promo code: MUSTHAVE) and this top is not on final sale. I know a lot of people won't buy items on final sale, thinking it is a gamble on items which they haven't tried on before.
Love the polka dot blouse. Anything from J.Crew is always nice =)

Ouuuu I had been wondering about this one - been so surprised that no one had reviewed it yet. I definitely want it, but would rather have the white blouse with black dots....but of course its sold out :P

I feel the same way. This has been out for a while and surprisingly not many reviews out there. Good that I picked a size up and it fits. I love the white blouse with black dots too. Maybe it will pop back one of these days.
Deletethanks for the review,the blouse looks cute on you.
ReplyDeletei have a similiar one from H&M and i am not sure i also "need" this one:).

DeleteYes, you need another one. You can never have enough polka dots ( that's my way of justifying my shopping haha!)

I think I have heard it somewhere that the store on Robson St. is going to have a grand opening next week. (I went to school in Vancouver for a few years back). Check it out. Think it is going to be a women and men's store.
Deletethanks for dropping by :)
Love polka dots, they are always flattering and fun to wear :) But it's a tad annoying when things fit tightly in odd places - I need to move my arms up :p
ReplyDeleteguess I will have to act like a lady when I wear this top. Don't raise my hands haha!
DeleteI love this whole J.Crew obsession you've got going on, its like seeing there entire catalogue without going on to their site haha. Thanks for stopping by my blog, following :)
