American Apparel (April 2006 - March 2010)

I'm tempted to buy the sexuali-tee for this spring but I feel the price is outrageous for a plain t-shirt. Is it really worth the price? and between black and white, which color looks better IRL? If the white is really see through then I think I'll buy the black...

^ Try looking on ebay. Since AA started selling the viscose stuff on wholesale, ebay sellers sell them for half the original price.

i dont think the white is too see through. i have the tee and i wear a nude bra underneath and you cant see through it so no need for an undershirt

i work at american apparel and have one of each of the sexuali-tees, and 2 EACH of the tanks. they feel like alexander wang pocket tanks, imo, and at a fraction of the price. the tees are amaaaazing, but the tanks are BY FAR my favorite item we sell.

if you're thinking about getting one of these, go for it!

^ Thanks guys. I think I'll get the t-shirt in white when I get a chance to buy it.

I just wanted visited AA store website and found that they've put up new items today including this "Super Sheer Circle Scarf". I personally think it looks cool... especially the "black spider" one. What do you guys think?

How long shoes shipping take, I live in the UK

I live in Singapore and it usually only takes 4 days for my order to arrive from the USA.

Just when I was about to customize one of their dresses into a one shoulder dress...

OMG I NEED it in every color

i don't know if it's just me, but i have never found anything at american apparel that works for me, except for many yrs ago a few of their very plain tshirts. but lately i see all these pictures of people wearing basics like v-neck tshirts and sheer oversized tees, leggings, little skirts, etc etc and i think oh!, those look lovely.. and then i get into the shop and try them on and i find them ill fitting and badly made.. is it just me ?
the seams are strange, the cut is either too narrow or too wide, the sleeves are either too short or long.. maybe it just doesn't work for my body type

^ you're definitely not alone! Some things simply don't flatter my body at ALL, but look fabulous on so many others I hate when that happens in general haha

^it's prob cuz a lot of it is unisex. I know I like that since I'm tall and don't have a tiny frame.. I would guess if you are petite that the stuff would fit weird.

holly- they are now!
toohauteforyou- I love that!

Ahhh so annoyed, I just realised they just change the $ to £ on the Uk site which means it's almost double the price

 

[loverunway]

omg whattt the sheer circle scarf is £37!!! they must be joking! Also neni- is the one shoulder dress out yet? it's not on the UK Site
Also, I really like this one:

but could you wear it in all the ways that you could with the normal circular scarf as it looks terribly thin!

 

[gossiping]

that is nice. but when i saw the circle scarves in the store including the tie dye one they are just not really that nice imo

 

[neni]

Also neni- is the one shoulder dress out yet? it's not on the UK Site

Nope, not out yet! It's coming soon

that might be it actually....i didn't think of the unisex thing as being the issue..
i'm 5'4 and pretty petite i suppose ? i don't tend to think of myself as petite but i am fairly flat chested and i just find that the t-shirts all look bad that might have something to do with it...

Usually with the unisex clothing they tell women to go down a size. However, according to some of my more buxom girlfriends, the unisex works well for them. adorefaith, you said you are flat-chested and petite, maybe you should size down. Even though the clothes are unisex, they are still cut for the slim-framed. Maybe an XXS would work for you.

Yeah I would guess that is it. I'm flat chested too but I think I have kinda broad shoulders so it works well.

What Crakk said as well-do you size down? I know if I wore my regular size the stuff would be too baggy.

i m outraged!! the Nylon Spandex Micro-Mesh Long Sleeve Mini Dress is now £40!! i m pretty sure it was just £32 a few days ago.
