Saddle is on sale ($119.99) as of Wed, 10/12/16. Addtl 40% off w/GETSHOPPING.
Size 6 – black – I didn’t even bother to take another size in with me because I find J. Crew’s sheaths to run true-to-size. George has to install printer drivers on my computer, so I have to log out. The gist is I’m in the size 6, black and it runs TTS. I’m 5’1″, 34DD and 39″ hip. I would get the 8P, which is a regular 6 equivalent to bring the length up to my knee. Don’t know if it will work with pear shape. My hips are straight on the side. My stuff is in the back. HTH
That’s the tortoise and pearl necklace ($39.50).
The Feeling
I have this in charcoal 8P and love it. The slightly shorter length is great for me at 5’1″. I love that J. Crew is so consistent with its sheath dresses.

The dress looks fantastic on you!
Hi Jill. I almost always have luck with J. Crew’s sheaths. Love them!
Oooo, that dress is cute. I wasn’t sure how the ruffled hem would look on us shorter gals, but it’s adorable.
Thanks for the tip about the promo code!
Confirmed success in the petite on this one, maryeb. I don’t know exactly when I will need it, but I’ll be ready for the occasion! I’m thinking I can wear a long cardi with it to make it look casually elegant.
That dress is so flattering on you!! I had dismissed it b/c I thought the ruffles wouldn’t work on a shorter frame but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all, even in the Regular length. Gorgeous, Gigi!!
The ruffles totally work and I’m loving the charcoal grey, which I have in-person.
That dress looks very classy on you!
Hi Jennifer — thank you 🙂
