J Crew ruffled bell-sleeve shift dress (SP16, F0160, $98) runs XXXS – XL. Color choices are black vintage champagne and undyed navy. 100% cotton. Made in the Philippines. Hand wash. The website mentions a lining, but the tag does not. Nor do I see one in the dress.
Size XS – chest = 35.5″, waist = 34.25″, hip = 38.5″
Size S – chest = 37.5″, waist = 36.25″, hip = 40.5″
6/4/16 – now $79.99 online & in-store
Size S – black vintage champagne – The dress fit tts for me (5’0″, 34DD, 39″ hip…haven’t measured in awhile). I’ve only seen the black vintage champagne in the store and I’m glad I did because I love it. I thought I would prefer the undyed navy.
This photo was taken in the late afternoon. It’s looking pretty good. I was seated for most of the day and there are almost no wrinkles.
With last year’s paillette necklace (cached page). Try Ebay.
I brought the Elsie pumps to the conference, brand spanking new. It was a real risk because I didn’t have Blister Block and I didn’t know how my feet would feel in the course of the day. After a full 8 hours, they felt a little fatigued from wearing heels, but I didn’t feel in pain, limp or get any blisters. I’m glad to know it because I have 2 more pairs of Elsie pumps and don’t have to worry about breaking them in.

Hey Alice. Good to see you. I wore the glitter Elsies for the first time, too and no issues. I was elated because I only brought heels and a pairof flip flops. Yes, I had a great time! Thanks for following 🙂
You look fabulous in this dress. I love the necklace and the shoes you chose, refreshing and fun. Every outfit I’ve seen you wear at RewardStyle Conference has been spot on gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your adventure and review.
Hi maryeb. Thank you!! I definitely put entire looks together from head to toe, including the jewelry in-between. I’ve packed things that go together, but in the excitement of a conference the last thing I want to do is try things on over and over in a hotel room. I also kept everything hanging and put it in the suitcase in a garment bag. Very easy to unpack.
Really like how you styled this dress — shoes and necklace are perfect! It was great to see all your pix from the conference, esp. the ones of you and Rynetta 🙂
Hi Tati — meeting Rynetta in person after all these was an enormous highlight. In some respects we had our own personal conference. lol
This dress looks great on you Gigi and I love how you paired it with the necklace. The Elsie’s might be my favorite JCREW style ever, even more than the Valentina because they give me a bit more height. You seemed very happy and cheerful at the conference…
Hey Ema. The Elsies are more comfortable than the Valentina. Well, I should say there is a much shorter break-in period with Elsie. I wore both the gold and another pair of Elsies for the first time during the conference. All day. My feet were tired from being on them all day, but they weren’t sore and no blisters. I had a lot of fun and am *so* glad I was invited & made the trip.
The dress looks great on you Gigi!I actually want to know more about the sandals. Are they Madewell? If so, thoughts on the fit, comfort, etc.?I was eyeing them at the store the other day. Those and the much cheaper, but still leather GAP version. Also tried to watch your HOA about instagram, but I guess you pulled it. I really could use the info : )

Knityarns – I will email you later regarding the hangout. If I don’t, please be in touch gigiofca@gmail. Those are the Gap sandals. They are moderately comfortable, but not walk-around-everywhere-all-day comfortable. I loved the brown, so I kept them. I returned the black pair. If I felt they were easier to wear I would’ve definitely kept the black. I haven’t tried any Madewell shoes in awhile.
You look so fantastic that I went out and bought the same dress. Thank you so much for sharing. The dress is very comfortable and you look so pretty in it, it gave me some extra confidence today.
J Crew Fan – I felt great in it, too. Good to hear!! Thanks for visiting 🙂
So did I! JCrew needs to starting paying you a commission. If it weren’t for your reviews, I would probably not buy as much from them. Always know that I can trust your assessment. Thanks.
Hi Linda — I do use affiliate links, so a reader happens to buy through one I make a small commission. Thank you very much for letting me know the reviews help! Truth be told, I come back and read them when things go on final sale, there’s a promo code and I have twitchy fingers. lol
