One Of Those "Love/Dislike" Issues

ECBG — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 22:46:29 GMT

I had called J Jill to order this top. I just love, LOVE texture!

The catalog was out of them, they won't have a store send it to you, but they were available at the store 20 minutes from me. I just wanted to come home and chill, but.....

I tried on the blouse and immediately saw what they had done. The embroidery was extremely pretty, but the shirt was about 2 inches shorter. Embroidery is expensive. They shorted on the fabric! The price was the same for what they had sold longer blouses.

Thank you. I'll get it styled, it's what I do. It just disappoints me , similar to an "integrity issue".

Leggings are still quite popular, the 15-2? want shorter tops, but their customer base doesn't! They should be savvy enough to play to the demographic that shops there.

Thank you. You'll have to call your nearest store. It's generous in width.

Sorry about the issues.

I am short waisted, my height is all in my legs, I might have to try this out.

Do you recall the name or item # so I can reference it?

Delicate Blooms Embroidered Blouse. It comes in all size divisions.

Call to order, if out ask what store to call to have delivered.

I really like this blouse too. Is it cotton or linen or a combo? Luv a crisp white shirt w/jeans - classic.

It's a beautiful blouse but I'm sorry it just doesn't look so short to me?! Where do you want it to hit you?

@Andreatoo

I'd like 1 1/2-2 inches longer. When trying on, it was very short. Still in "jeggings time" in fashion, I was sure.

J jill is in no way a teen store. Why does teen fashion effect their line?

@ECBG

It's clearly not a crop top. But I don't know where you want it to hit on you. Past the top of your thighs? Is it described as a tunic?

@Andreatoo

Many button down blouses and shirts are longer than this blouse was when I tried it on. They skipped on fabric.

That is disappointing. Most of J Jill’s pants are narrow slim cut pants that look better proportioned with a long top.

Hi @ECBG Beautiful top! Love the collar and sleeves, and the textured material! I checked it out online, but not for me right now. Several pictures and length measurements are included online. Posted Missy length is 26 1/2" center back, shirttail hem. I posted snapshots here. There are also q&as on the page, with responses to questions about bust and sweep measurements. I would think you would have received this information over the phone if you had asked.

@Drythe the style number is in there, 218511.

Very pretty!

@NYCLatinaMe

Thanks for the pictures. And as I expected that is the length I assumed it was from the OP. .

Am I unique here or does this length seem enough to anyone else?? It just does not strike me as short

Tops are not all the same length, I certainly have seen both shorter and longer tops. The longer ones are ususally referred to as tunics. I think it's up to everyone what they like.

I think J Jill provided adequate information regarding the apperance and length of this top for everyone to make a decision whether they like it or not. It would be long enough for me. I wear a variety of lengths, depending on the pants I am wearing and my mood.

@Andreatoo @ECBG @NYCLatinaMe

That would be adequately long for me to wear because I don't wear low-slung pants. I wear pants that are at my natural waistline (or button at my navel) and I am pretty long-waisted but pretty high-hipped so have long legs as well. As one seamstress asked me once: Were you always built like this, to which I replied, "No, I had a wreck last week and when they put me back together, you see what they did to me."

@Nonametoday

It would seem we all have an area where we prefer tops to "hit". They likely shorted the item for profet. This top wl favor the less tall
