J Crew Wedding (J. Crew)

I ordered J Crew dresses for my bridesmaids too! =) As the previous reviewers said, J Crew is great! They are so easy to work with for returns and sizing, and have a lot of great sales! The quality of the dress is really great and I love how it doesn't look like a typical bridesmaids dress so the girls can wear it again.

I ordered four beach embossed dresses in rosebud (two halter, two strapless). Got them on sale for $70 each by calling in on the phone at the store (the salesperson did everything for me, I just told them my order and my credit card info).

Random tip: if you order the catalog item from the store, you don't have to pay for shipping!

I'm not using J. Crew for my wedding, but I just wore one of their dresses as a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding, so I thought I'd throw in my two cents. There were six of us bridesmaids, and we each got a navy blue cotton embossed beach dress (three strapless, one halter, and two shifts). We are all different shapes, so it was great to have a choice as to the cut - and the price certainly couldn't be beat! The ceremony was at the beach, so the casual style was perfect - and so wearable in the future. Nothing bridesmaid-y about them at all. Note: I think J. Crew runs quite large, so order down, or better yet, try on at the store. I love their petites!

I'm wearing the Avery gown that I purchased from JCrew.com and it's perfect. The silk feels so luxurious and drapes beautifully. I was lucky enough to buy it when it was on sale for $250. It's the easiest decision I've made in this whole wedding planning process.
Highly recommended!!!

I just loved how Sophia looked on my bridesmaids. All my girls looked AMAZING! I refused to buy Briddesmaid dress from wedding dress shop because no matter how pretty they are they probably won't be worn ever again. And I think I made the right choice buying the dresses from J.Crew, they are so pretty and wearable they can wear them to about any occasion! My girls loved them too.

We used J Crew for our bridesmaid dresses. The girls said ordering was very easy, quick delivery and easy in store returns. I found them to be extremely helpful when I was deciding, they sent me swatches overnight (!!!) to see fabrics and even called to check back in and see what I decided.

The dresses are high quality and the fabric (we chose the cotton cady line) very lush and nice. I will advise to order a size down from your normal, all of the dresses for my five BMs were big and need alteration.

I ordered J Crew dresses for my bridesmaids - nothing but praise!! They were so easy to work with in ordering and returning to perfect the sizing! I definitely recommend J Crew. And the bonus, the girls can wear the dresses again.

Love the J crew dresses! It's perfect for the bridesmaids. Great selection! ready to wear! The girls can wear it again!

My dress was beautiful and not that expensive...my bridesmaids did wear the same style than me and it was just perferct!!

My bridesmaids wore J Crew. They all looked beautiful in their dresses. The prices were affordable and all the girls liked their dress.

J.Crew was the perfect choice for clothing for our seaside wedding. We both found exactly what we were looking for. I found a great dress on sale for only $99! Although you may not find a deal like that, I highly recommend J.Crew for any bride on a budget. The only catch is you need to order the dress in order to try it on. As far as I know, J.Crew does not carry any of the wedding dresses they offer in the store. My DH found a well-made suit that he felt comfortable in. J.Crew even did all of his alterations for free. Another little trick for budget brides, order in the store and the shipping is free!

I am wearing the JCrew Avery dress, which retailed for $295 at the time I purchased it. IMO, the quality is comparable to dresses that are in the $2k plus range because: it is 100% silk, is fully lined, fits wonderfully, and the craftsmanship is great. The customer service representatives are very knowledgable and helpful, as well. I especially love the way the dress photographs, it looks like the softest, most glamorous silk in photos.

I got my bridesmaid dresses at J.Crew in different styles and different colors and it looked beautiful! The dresses were affordable, they looked good and some of my bridesmaids have said they will wear them again - one of them even bought the same dress in a different color just to have it! I was very pleased, and when we had trouble finding sizes, the J.Crew people did their best to track down and get me the dress I needed. Their dresses are simple, yet elegant and most importantly, their dresses don't need to spend the next 10 years stuffed, untouched in the back of closets!

We found perfect beach wedding bridesmaid's dresses for a great price (under $200). And actually just recently the style went on sale, making the dresses even more appealing.

The return policy is simple and fair, plus the shipping goes from standard to overnight so if the girls wait until last minute we are still covered.

Haven't seen the dresses yet, but they should be arriving soon!

The dresses looked great and were very high quality. However, my Matron of Honor found out she was pregnant right after she ordered her dress. Note that J Crew does not have a friendly return policy. She ended up being stuck with the first dress and had to buy another one.

My wife bought wedding shoes from J Crew via the internet. She told me that they were comfortable all night and that I should include this in the review for other brides. lol

My bridesmaids are wearing dresses from JCrew's "weddings and parties" line and have had a good experience selecting their dresses online. JCrew has a "special occasions" hotline, where specialists answer all your questions about various fabrics, colors, sizes, etc. and can send you swatches of the different fabrics in your colors. My bridesmaids liked being able to order "normal" sizes (including petite and tall sizes) and have been able to receive and return their dresses easily when there have been any sizing or fit issues. A couple of them even say that they'll be able to wear their dresses again, after the wedding! (I'm hoping they're not just being nice...:) )

I loved my wedding dress!! It was absolutely gorgeous, exactly what I had in mind, and just as bridal-looking as if I'd bought it at a couture bridal salon. The best part - I paid just over $200, and no alterations were necessary.

I bought my wedding dress at J.Crew for Cheaper than I thought. I was going to pay about $230, and then when I called into their customer service line to order it they were really helpful and it had gone on sale to $124. I was super lucky and super happy with it.

The bridesmaid dresses at J. Crew are fabulous. Not only do they ship quickly, but they are TRUE TO SIZE unlike most every other company. They fabrics are truly of the highest quality and are very well-made. They are versatile enough so that they are not just bridesmaid dresses, and the various patterns are very flattering. This company is also ideal if you are looking for many different looks in one color for your maids 9as I have been).

My sister Mom and I searched everywhere for the Bridesmaid Dress and finally found one at J Crew! after getting the (all sales final) dress delivered to our home my sister tried it on and it was to big and the wrong colour... we called J Crew up and they were so wonderful and let us return the dress and find a new one! Thank You J Crew you didn't have to do that!

My new J. Crew dress is here!!!.. I LOVE it! It fits great, is comfortable, and will not need altering! It has a built in support system too. The linen did wrinkle a bit but I think it is better because of the beading. I just need to wear my girdle that day!

All my bridesmaids had a great experience with their J. Crew dresses. The prices are good and the dresses, which come in many styles and colors, generally don't need alterations like the dresses you find in bridal shops. The quality is excellent. Everyone loves their dresses and plans to wear them again (or at least that's what they tell me :)).

I always love JCrew and was so excited that they started offering BM dresses. The dresses were simple and elegant and for sure something my girls can wear again. And since I purchased all the dresses for them, pricing was important to me. With J Crew, I felt I didn't compensate the quality even though the price was great.

GORGEOUS DRESSES!

LOVE, love, love them!

I highly recommend J.Crew!!!!

A wedding to me was about simplicity, food, and family. I enjoyed a carefree evening in a dress that was comfortable, captivating, and photogenic. Best of all, it was inexpensive and ready to take on the festivities.

I got my dress and my bridesmaids dresses here and we were completely happy. No issues with customer service at all. Having been through several not so fun experiences with friends buying bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses over the years, I felt like I hit a home run with this choice! The styles were perfect for our Tahoe wedding, and I DO think my bridesmaids will wear them again. If they, don't, maybe I'll borrow my sister's dress sometime because I thought it was super cute!

For my wedding, I am working under a very tight budget. Not only are my fiance and I paying for a good deal of our wedding ourselves, but we are planning on attending graduate school, which will be a very large expense. So, when I say we're under financial constraints, I really mean it. When looking for dresses, I knew I couldn't be spending more than a few hundred dollars. I was told this was impossible, but kept looking anyway. Finally, I was talking to a girlfriend that knows far more about the clothing world than I do, and she suggested that I look at the J Crew bridal line. I did, and I found a beautiful silk dress for under $300 (style = Sophia). It's made very well, it's flattering, and the staff members I worked with were very helpful in getting me fitted and ordering the correct size. Additionally, many J Crew stores have in-house tailors that can perform alterations on your dress. There are only two drawbacks I encountered. One, alterations are not free unless you have a J Crew credit card. Two, most J Crew stores do not have the wedding line in the store, so you can't necessarily try the dress on before ordering (apparently New York City stores have the line in-house). I was uncomfortable with this at first, but it was made very clear to me that if necessary, a return or exchange would be very simple. All in all, I highly recommend J Crew if you are looking for an affordable gown that is of high quality.

I have been trying to order J.crew dresses for my bridesmaids the last six weeks and I hate to say this but the customer service is horrible at J.crew! They are currently updating their systems to try to make their service better, but it's actually worst! It took them three weeks to place my order and once they did, the sizes weren't available anymore! Another issue I have with them was the 30-60 minute wait times to speak to a customer service representative. I agree with the previous reviews that J.crew dresses are ready-to-wear, but the quality, price and now customer service isn't worth your time.

The other brides who have written in to this thread are complete idiots. J Crew may be a good deal for you ... but I was PISSED when I was asked to shell out for one of their pricey bridesmaid dresses. Yes, I tried to wear it again... I had been at the party for 5 minutes before someone asked me if I was wearing a bridesmaid dress.

Get these dresses if you have to. But don't think you're doing your friends --because yes, you should treat your bridesmaids like friends--any favors.
