J Crew - tissue sequin tank

Tissue sequin tank (10561) - $88
Very...H&M-ish. I was surprised to see this in the store yesterday. I agree w/those on J Crew Aficionada
who says sequins are EVERYWHERE @ J Crew right now.


This isn't for me. I didn't like it on the hanger either. It looked HUGE! I simply tried for kicks and to report here. I'm in a size small. You see spots from my camera (oops), but what you don't see is how the bottom poofs. The bottom is gathered. It's very Oompa Loompa-ish. I can see this *not* working for those with a pear shape. It may depend more on how tall you are and if you tuck the bottom of the tank a bit. Too much to consider for $88. I'd go to Forever 21 or H&M if on the hunt for a top like this.

  1. This definitely is one to pass on...not flattering to just about any body type unless you are railthin! Like you suggested look to a discount store for this type of garment. I am tall and thin but I don't care for it at all.....

  2. anon@4:30 - I agree. Rail thin and tall might be a fit for this. I have straight hips and cannot imagine what this top would do to someone that has more voluminous hips. I don't even think I'd get this on sale.

  3. I bought this top in black...I agree that it runs HUGE!!! I plan on wearing it with my JCrew tuxedo pants. I'm 5'9 and well not super skinny...I have a very long lanky build. I love this top.

  4. Jordan -- Glad to hear it works on someone. That's usually the case. Half the people are happy and half find something else to love. ;-)

  5. This would look good on a starving model.
