    We're wearing mis-matched BM dresses for a wedding in July. Two girls in Matisse Blue silk chiffon from JCrew and one girl in Mediteranean Blue in silk tricotine from Jcrew.

     

    I have boobs. I've heard some people say that Jcrew runs big and some say that it runs small.

    I'm a 34D with measurements that are about 37-28-36. The bust I can mush a bit, depending on the bra. With my strapless bra I'm about 36".

     

    What the HECK size do I need, first of all? I've read the sizing charts. I know I should order to my largest measurement. My question is really for people who have had experience with these dresses, ESPECIALLY with people with larger busts. I'm really curious how forgiving/not these are.

    I'm really digging this dress, currently.

    I also really LOVE this dress on ebay

    But....sizing! Eeee. I'm really concerned because of the lack of returning.

     

    ETA: Does anyone have picture of big-busted girls wearing JCrew BM dresses?

    I just got this dress in the mail today. Order big and get it taken in. Mine fits in the waist and is big in the bust, that is a first for me, I usually order for my bust. But I can just take in the straps and it will work. Mine was a final sale and I was super worried about it and it is a little more busty than I would like, but it fits and I love the dress! JCrew usually runs small on me, but this actually seemed to run big.... I can't figure them out :)

    @Phofe2774:  The link doesn't work. =x

    I'm thinking maybe a size 8 of the one in the first link... I can always lose some weight is anything is too small. I'm just nervous! 

     

    Also, of course I need my bride to approve. But I'm really fancying this dress! I'm kind of a bow junkie.

    Argh, JCrew? :  wedding jcrew 1 sizing 37690 GY6580 M Alisanne dress in silk taffeta

    it is a lot like yours, the front was a much lower cut than it looks on the model.

    @Baimee:   J Crew seems to run a tad small for me and I have some D boobs as well. With the material of the dresses, I would order a size up fpr the girls and get the rest altered. You'll probably have to get it altered anyways to fit you well.

    BTW, I LOVE the matisse blue one from ebay!
