J.Crew sent out an email today introducing the Ikat halter dress ($225.00, Item 15197 & Item 15481).

I really love the print and length of the dress. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also comes in petite sizes. The Ikat halter dress is available in warm maize and navy.

Have you had a chance to try on this dress? If not, will you be ordering it?

J.Crew sent out an email this morning showcasing the Dressy jersey strapless dress in the papaya color. The jersey fabric of all these dresses make them very versatile for the summer. I personally love the Sanur dress and own it in three colors!

When I first started this blog, I wrote about how much I loved the J.Crew Daphne dress in the post, “The Coveted Daphne Wedding Gown.”  In the comments of that post, Donna writes the she purchased this beautiful gown when it was first released by J.Crew back in 2007.  When the time came, she planned to wear it for her wedding.

Well, Donna has decided to sell her Daphne dress as she and her fiance will be eloping.  She wrote me and wants to offer it to fellow J.CrewAholics.   Please see her terms below and pictures above.

Good luck to the lucky J.Crew bride who needs this dress!

Hi Leigh,

As you know, I’ve decided to sell my NEW, never worn size 4 Daphne gown since I’ll be eloping…:)))) So, here are the pics which I hope do the dress justice (I even included a close-up of the pocket!)! It will of course need a press from being packaged in its original box, but it is otherwise in pristine condition. Again, I would LOVE for one of my “sisters” on the site to get it since we’re all fans of J. Crew—-they’re chosen family to me! As such, I have not posted this gown for sale anywhere else. The highest offer over $1200 (not including shipping and insurance) will nab it. The catch? The bride-to-be MUST post pics on your site for all of us to see! Let me know if you’re still amenable to me offering the gown for sale on your site.

Thanks again, Leigh, for all your dedication and loyalty to J.Crew. It’s been so much fun to be part of the Crew community!

Warmest,
Donna

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something J.Crew? It’s the most popular wedding time right now, where brides-to-be are busy making plans for their spring and summer weddings. One place not to over look, is nonetheless the fabulously chic and not budget-breaking, J.Crew.

J.Crew’s Bridal Collection is not too well-known to the average bride. So with all the choices these days, why J.Crew? First launched in February 2004, J.Crew has recently become one of the “must go-to places” for bridesmaid dresses in 2009 and recently highlighted in W Magazine’s January 2009 issue, and not to mention our breaking news of the rumored NYC store.

You can mix and match different styles of dresses, but all coordinate to one palette making the perfect bridal party accommodating each party member’s unique style and shape. And the best part is….everyone will look cute, chic, and be comfortable. These are must-have bridal dresses that you can accessorize-up and wear more than once.

We can honestly say that you can’t go wrong with any of the choices. We picked up our top favorites that we can wear as a bridesmaid, out on the town, or a Sunday brunch. Which is your favorite? Whichever you choose, it’s for sure that you can say “I do” to J.Crew.

I have had many readers emailing me about the yellow dress that was featured on J.Crew’s website during the January New Arrivals. Readers wanted to know if this yellow dress was in fact a J.Crew dress or if it was the model’s own dress.

Turns out it is definitely a J.Crew dress! The dress is the Whitney dress ($325.00 item 11429) featured in a fun print. It will be a catalog/jcrew.com item only.

Whether it’s for a wedding or a warm-weather getaway, this dress is a sensational choice for any special occasion. Crafted from lightweight silk chiffon with a delicate crinkled texture, it has a fitted bodice with a slight sweetheart neckline and a beautiful sash detail that falls down the front center. Simply breathtaking when blowing in the wind. A-line skirt. Lettuce edged hem at waist. Back zip. Interior corset for added support. Fully lined. Falls to floor; 44″ from natural waist. Import. Dry clean. Catalog/jcrew.com only.

If you have been following this blog for some time, then you should know that I absolutely love the Daphne dress, a gorgeous wedding gown that J.Crew debuted back in January 2007. 

I have written about the Daphne dress from J.Crew in the following posts.

• J.Crew Wedding Dress Collection 2009
• The Coveted Daphne Wedding Gown
• A JCrewAholic Gets Married in the Daphne Dress
• The Coveted J.Crew Daphne Dress Appears On Ebay!

And I even got to see the Daphne dress live in person when I attended the J.Crew sample last week. To read my review, please click the post, “Review of J.Crew Sample Sale.”

I was recently contacted by Katie, a reader who wore the Daphne dress on her wedding day.  Her story, along with stunning photos, are below.  Her photographers at Retrospect Studios did a great job. Enjoy!

When I first got engaged, I had absolutely no idea what kind of wedding I wanted.  And with just a mere eight weeks to plan (that’s right…eight weeks), I knew the very first thing I had to do was find the perfect dress.

The J. Crew Daphne wedding dress was only the second dress I ever tried on.  My mom found it online when she came across J. Crew’s wedding & parties collection and I was instantly enamored.   So I ordered the dress (size 0) and it promptly arrived on my doorstep within a week.

At the risk of sounding unbearably cliché, the moment I tried on the dress, I knew it was the one – it was exactly what I never knew I wanted and it fit like a dream.  So I began to plan my wedding around the dress: casual yet chic, simple yet sophisticated. 

The dress is made out of silk organza and is more of an ivory hue than true white.  It came with a raw hem so it could be altered to the correct length.  The neckline plunged quite low on me, so I had an insert that was made from the extra fabric taken off the hem sewn in.  Incredibly, those are literally the only alterations I had to have done. 

Because I didn’t want to detract from the dress and to further integrate the casual tone I wanted, I decided not to wear a veil.  Instead, I opted for crystal and pearl hair pins.  I also decided to wear simple, white ballet flats (a wise decision, considering I was on my feet for nearly than 12 hours!).   One of my favorite qualities of the dress was the fact that it was so incredibly light; I wasn’t weighed down by a heavy, bulky dress and I could move freely and comfortably (a must if you’ll be dancing).

Aside from the fact that I married the love of my life, my hands-down favorite part of my wedding was my dress.  If I had a dollar for every sincere compliment I have received about my dress, I probably wouldn’t have to work!  And I am not ashamed to admit that I bask in all that praise; it was certainly one of the more unique wedding dresses I have seen and I absolutely adored it.

The Daphne dress was available in a size 0 at the sample sale. I am not sure if it was sold and what Clothingline has done with it. If you are interested, pelsae email jordan@clothingline.com to find out more.

Also here is the Daphne dress on eBay.
