Product Review: Victoria Ruffle Cami {loves it!}

Item 99742
Regular: $88.00

"Bravo!" to J.Crew. B-R-A-V-O! J.Crew knew how much some of us (e.g. Me) love ruffles and took it up a notch with the Victoria (click here). So beautiful in its design and so lovely in person. I could not agree more with the following description: "sophisticated double-ruffle micro-pleated collar that makes a chic and unforgettable statement."

Luckily for us, Hawaiilei shared with us a wonderful review of this gorgeous cami:

"First of all, the silk on this top is a little bit heavier and shinier (silkier?) than the fabric used on the Elizabeth and Lydia Halters. I think it makes the top a little bit dressier.

Secondly, the top is sized in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, etc, so while others have complained that the Elizabeth and Lydia Halters ran big, I was fine purchasing a size 0. I know that another complaint with the previous halters is that they were too boxy, but I didn't really find that this was a problem.


Third, I bought the top in the fuschia color and it's a bright vibrant pink color that I think will be perfect for Fall/Winter. I wanted a pop in my wardrobe, because I've been wearing a lot of black lately.


The pleating and the ruffle collar are adorable. The collar is a little stiff right now, but I can tell it will soften over time. The SA suggested that I maybe press a book down on it, but I'll probably leave it alone.

I highly recommend this item. I purchased it at full price and don't regret it at all. I'm looking forward to the rest of the Fall collection coming into the stores as well.
"

Thanks again to Hawaiilei for her great review! To be honest, I can't wait to purchase this cami and the shirt version. I really love the "ruffle look", especially with the ruffles shining out from underneath a sweater this fall & winter.

What do you think of the Victoria Ruffle Cami (and Victoria Ruffle Shirts)? Do you like the design (e.g. the double ruffle collar)? Do you plan on purchasing this item and why? If you already own the Victoria, please let us know what you think. :)
