JCrew Goldwyn Dress

I wanted to post a quick review of the JCrew Goldwyn Dress in case anyone sees in it the Final Sale or a popback. I had originally not really noticed this dress or dismissed it as having a sort of Simba/Cowardly Lion mane thing going on with the detailing.

Then I saw it in person as my mom had ordered it, and I finally found it on sale last week and decided to risk the Final sale (ugh) to give it a go. I am really glad I did!

I ordered the size 10. This dress is on sale for $99.99 down from a retail price of $185. Item number is item 15190. It is flax linen material with metallic and satiny trim. The metallic ribbon makes up the bottom layer of knots on the bodice and the straps, and a wheat colored satin is the top layer of knots. Its very pretty in person! Fitted bodice, full skirt, POCKETS, knee length, fully lined with a pleated little flounce at the hem underneath. Runs true to size.

Front view...sorry for the wrinkles I wore it right out of the box and took this shot after dinner.

Bodice detail and ribbony straps...

Back view of criss cross back (and my hair looking a little crazy). Plus hands in pockets!

I wore this out last night with a navy cardigan and Almond Juliet heels. I think it would also look great with brown into fall.

Anyone else seen or tried this dress? What are your thoughts? I hope I get to weat it again soon!

  2. I bought this dress (not on sale:( ) for one of my wedding showers and LOVE it. I think its super flattering and great for both summer and spring/fall. I'm planning on wearing it for a wedding I a have coming up in a few weeks... my big question is how to accesserize, make it pop for the wedding. Any thoughts??

  10. I did not like it when I saw it in the catalog, but this dress looks amazing on you! It reminds me more of an anthropologie dress than a Jcrew one.
