J Crew’s silk tie-shoulder peplum top ($98) runs regular 000 – 16 (G5365), petite P00 – P12 (G6141) and tall T2 – T16 (G61427). Color choices are fiery sunset and navy. I’m only seeing the petite in coral and the tall in black. 100% cotton.
Size 6 – navy – None of J. Crew’s peplum tops over the past few years have looked good on me. This one is an exception. The fluidity of the silk is helpful. I think it would feel too high. The peplum sits higher up on the model’s waist, than lower. However, I don’t think I’d want the petite for a shorter length than the regular (pictured). I think it would feel too high. The navy is pretty. It’s that dark navy that looks almost black. However, it’s not so dark that you will choose it, thinking it’s black and be surprised when you see the true color outdoors.
I like the contrasting shoulder ties. It didn’t occur to me see if the straps are adjustable as they fit just fine. I also didn’t think to look for bra keeps in the straps. I’m going to guess there aren’t any. You’ll need a strapless bra, or just go swayin’ in the wind.

Cute, fun top.
