It was one of the only places I could find plain tee shirts without graphics, in non-pink colours, for girls. But their ads gross me out (and I'm not easily offended) with their barely-legal girls in demeaning poses, and their stores are as bad as a flea market in terms of an assault to your senses. I would never buy clothes for me there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655382 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:40:21 +0000 annagybe 655382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More than you ever want to know</p> <p><a href="http://jezebel.com/americanapparel/" rel="nofollow">http://jezebel.com/americanapparel/</a></p> <p>They had a good initial premise of basics that were made in sweatshop free factories. But yeah it derailed big time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655378 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:36:31 +0000 Mo 655378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must live under a rock - I have no idea what this is all about. I just thought they sold cheap tee shirt stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655372 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:30:04 +0000 Echo 655372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with rae. The company disgusts me on principle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655366 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:21:32 +0000 nicoleb 655366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AA has some neat thing but a good majority of the time i just can't bring myself to pay their prices. I'm guessing that dress (and i could be totally wrong) it's going to be too short and see through. :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655360 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:11:20 +0000 rae 655360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also boycott AA based on their ads and their owner. The ads are often super sexual and use very young girls (think a 15 year old looking girl spreading her legs on a glass coffee table). I accidentally bought a shirt of theirs from the swap meet once and the quality admittedly seemed fine but nothing to write home about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655349 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:59:57 +0000 Mo 655349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I don't know anything about the company itself. Never seen a store front (of course I don't live near any stores lol). I was mostly thinking about quality . . . maybe I should keep looking for a similar striped tee shirt dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655342 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:53:27 +0000 Diana 655342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Shevia, I've also read a lot of disturbing things about the owner of AA, so I refuse to shop there on principle. Plus I get an instant headache when I step into one of their stores (something about the combo of the super bright lights and the bright colors). In terms of quality, I do think their tees tends to be really thin and flimsy but that's kind of the trend right now in general. They fit very small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655324 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:34:16 +0000 Jaime 655324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure about the quality, but I have read a lot of obnoxious things about the owner and the company, if that matters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-aa-too-cheap-to-bother-with#post-655322 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:31:03 +0000 Mo 655322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking into a light summer striped dress. I love the style but know American Apparel can be shoddy/cheap. Should I give it a gamble or not even bother? <a href="http://store.americanapparel.net/2386st.html" rel="nofollow">http://store.americanapparel.net/2386st.html</a><br /> This would be mostly casual hot day wear. I might throw on a low slung belt and flat sandals. I'd wear it low on the shoulder - somewhere between these 2 pictures. </p>
