i dug up some random pictures i have. sorry for the bad quality. i can post better ones tomorrow if i get a chance.

me: 5'2", size 2 (25/26 jeans), 34d (if that helps...). short but not petite or skinny. as you can see, i have no waist

RSAD402 unisex solid rib oversized pocket cardigan
color: black
size: xs/s
note: big, loose and covers my butt. i love it.

wearing inside: 2102 fine jersey short sleeve t
color: teal
size: s
note: women's tee but cut a bit like unisex--tight chest & loose waist. sleeves are shorter than the v-necks below.


tr456 unisex tri-blend short sleeve deep v-neck
colors: tri-evergreen & tri-indigo
size: xxs (fits similar to women's s)
note: these colors are pretty, and the fabric is awesome. as far as i know, athletic grey & athletic blue run one size smaller than these two colors if you are thinking of buying those.

color: athletic grey
size: xs

i was thinking of getting that tee in white. is it really sheer? does the sizing run similar to the athletic grey or tri-indigo tee you are wearing? thanks!

Aren't these comfy? I have both colors...the tri blend is my fav! I wish they made it in other colors.

[*brittany*]

donald: id say the sizing is closer to the tri indigo sizing (i got the indigo in a large rather than the medium i usually get but the athletic grey M definitely is a bit smaller than the 6456 M).
i dont have one in white yet so i cant say for sure how sheer it is, but i always wear a tank underneath like in the pics i posted (i usually wear the u neck tanks under). im guessing the white would definitely need something under cuz u can see the color of my bra if i didnt wear the tank underneath the sunshine color (then again i wear black bras so who knows ).

hope this helps!


angelisa: i know! love these shirts, so comfy! the fabric is so light, its great :)

Great idea! I've been thinking of ordering some shirts from AA, but have never ordered them before, and so was clueless on sizes! This is going to be a really great reference thread!

[*brittany*]

^^^ i hope so! :) i love being able to see clothes on actual people, helps to get a better perspective on how they look irl!


i didnt realize how short the tri blend cardigan is! i thought itd be like the oversized pocket one, just in a different fabric... still very cute tho

(see i already learned something! helping already!)

[Belle de Jour]

In general, I find most reviews on the AA website very helpful.

As for the unisex v neck shirts in jersey - I tried it on in white and it was very see-through, but there was a tag attached that said "summer shirt", so maybe that was a thinner version???

If you want your unisex v necks to fit close to your skin, go one size down than what you usually wear in tops -> I am S / 36 in H&M tops and wear XS in AA v necks!


And be aware that when they say "jersey" most of the time that is what you get, which means a very stretchy material, you want to take that into consideration when choosing sizes!

I will post more (pictures) when I am more organized lol.

and

hard to believe but i only just recently discovered how awesome AA is...!!

[b00mbaka]

I think most people just discovered the awesomeness (LOL) of AA! It kind of sucks because other stores are copying AA's style and now I see too many girls wearing similiar dresses to mine

[*brittany*]

anyone have the tri blend raglan pullover (BR394)? i would love to see it on someone!
