I've never been in one of their stores and thought of them as like if Talbots and Eileen Fisher had a baby. However, I'm 5'2" and 110# and desperately wanted to get a denim jacket and had already tried petites in J Crew, GAP and Universal Standard, as well as standard sizing from Madewell and Levi's. Every jacket I tried -- even the petites -- was bulky and big and boxy -- ugh. But . . . the J Jill jacket is actually perfect -- scaled down in all details, including collar and cuffs, and neither too boxy nor too fitted, though it has enough fit to suggest a waistline, which works for my hourglass figure. The fabric is some witches brew of cotton, lycolcell, spandex and polyester, so not authentically denim, but it feels soft, and has a nice wash -- not too dark, nor too faux-distressed.
Emboldened by my success with the denim jacket, I ordered a dress -- also cute, though maybe a tad on the preppy side, but I think with the right shoes and jewelry I can style it to be kind of fun preppy, rather than stodgy. Here's the dress -- what do you think -- should I keep it?:
