JCrew Collection Italian Wool Jumpsuit, #b6087


Sizing: TTS. I took a 00 in regular sizing. I'm still curious as to how the shorter proportions might have looked on me and am stalking the P2 - it's been 2.5 months; should be any day now. ;)

Pros: the wool is thick woollen fabric with good drape; the type of fabric you'd expect nice suits to be made of. The tie at the waist is a plus. For me, I like the design and the fabric, especially the full sleeves and plain neckline because I intend to layer it with turtlenecks too. You could layer it with an oxford shirt (though the inevitable wrinkling of cotton underneath would be distracting). Pockets!

Cons:the inseam is long on me, being 
5, 2.5".  I also don't like the feeling of vulnerability at the waistline because if the lack of loose drapeyness. I make it work by pulling the pants up and giving myself a big of coverage there. Otherwise, it feels kind of naked there, to wear it straight and simple like the catalogue model does.

Wearing with Coach shoes try-on.


Feeling exposed and a little Top Gun. No "coverage" at the waist.

Le derrière.


A little more "coverage" at the midsection.
