The IT Factor: For their Spring Summer 2015, the fashion house went for over the top and 3-D effects. I like the use of the Dutch wax prints to create illusions of floating flowers; however, the designs are so over the top, I wonder who can wear them in everyday life…I loved the simpler cuts of the Fall 2015 line instead. Sharp, colorful and elegant.

Review: Keyhole dress in Italian stretch by J.Crew

What: Keyhole Italian wool stretch dress J.Crew

ebelandi_jcrew_keyhole_dress_1

Season: Spring 2015

Material: 100% wool; gorgeous pinkish purple 🙂

ebelandi_jcrew_keyhole_dress_2

Quality: Good stretching wool but thin fabric despite the polyester lining. Should feel great in the summer heat 🙂

Fit: Runs small, I recommend you size up if you want room on your hip area.  Also, the front slit may be inappropriate as an office wear but you are able to reduce it as a simple DIY project (or you could bring to the tailor).

Sissi’s verdict: Wait for sale. Or if you want, take advantage of the 30% promo.

Review: Collection pleated eyelet dress by J.Crew

What: Collection Pleated Eyelet Dress by J.Crew

ebelandi_jcrew_collection_pleated_eyelet_4

Season: Spring 2015

Material: 100% cotton

Quality: Very good! Loving the look, the details, the fit…but not the price! You may be able to grab it for 30% off today though.

Fit: True to size.  The lining (under cami dress) is very thin so the dress may be a little see-through depending on the lighting…may need additional undergarments.

Sissi’s verdict: Keeper, if you can afford it.
