American Apparel for Women

I must say, the woman's version of the t-shirts are significantly small, can't they find anywhere else to go for their shirts?? I'm so sick of buying XL men's shirts because I actually have boobs. Are any of you ladies with me? It's so humiliating to buy a XXL in women's and it STILL doesn't fit.

I'm suprised any band would use American Apparel when Dov Charney is the CEO0

they use AA because people wanted AA: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=173849&hilit=apparel+american
Just dug out my PJ Halloween shirt, made by Spectra. It's a Ladies' M but holy hell! no wonder I didn't wear it! It makes me look like a stuffed sausage (and the material is cheap).
JA 'While My Heart Beats' shirt by AA is 1" wider than the Spectra shirt, and that shirt is more snug than I'd like it to be. I have big shoulders and boobs, so that shirt almost chokes me when I wear it.
Girls with boobs are just outta luck I suppose. :evil:The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Sounds like a good cause for a protest! All of you ladies need to unite! Show them, either better shirts, or no shirts at all!"...would you like some forks?" EV 12-02-060 -
Ok, I have a question then for the ladies. One my Valinetines Day gifts to my girlfriend is a new PJ shirt. She is normally a large in most department stores. Do you think she will be ok in an XXL? I don't want to get an XL because she'd rather it be loose than too tight."Mine is mine and yours won't take its place.."

Skip the ladies altogether and go with a Men's L.0 -

I would recommend a Men's M.
or
If she likes the 'fitted' look of a Ladies' shirt, go in her closet, pull out her favorite shirt, lay it out on a table and measure (armpit to armpit) how wide it is. Come here, and compare it to the sizing info on the shirt you'd like to get her. Get her that size, if it's close, get the bigger size.The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

i don't mean this to sound mean, but do the shirts not fit because you have boobs? or because you are overweight? my wife, for example, has boobs but is still pretty slim, and wears a lot of american apparel tees and hoodies and is still a size small in them."If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music."

I wear a size 2 or 4. The average size of an American woman is a size 14. (ladies sizing comes in even numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, etc)
Any guy on here that has met me can feel free to chime in to say if I am fat or just have big boobs.EvolutionBabu wrote:RKCNDY wrote:they use AA because people wanted AA: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=173849&hilit=apparel+american

What year are your AA shirts from?
They used to run small. I have the Big cannons also.
I bought an AA shirt sized women large from a different band in 2002. It shrank to very small
I bought a men's small in 2009. It's too big.
Now I suppose quality issues are even now. I buy most of my AA shirts from the same company for three years now. The Men's and Women's Sizes are very different.
An AA women's small makes my twins popular. An AA Men's small makes them look like I'm wearing a baggy pillowcase.
I hope your Boobs feel better soon

I like the sound of "big cannons" stuffed into a tight shirt... I am 34 and I guess big boobs will never get old lol0 -
I am a huge advocate of American made products...so kudos on the American Apparel. But I have the same issue...I have to buy larger than usual and I'm thin yet busty. Personally I prefer v-necks...otherwise I can feel like I'm being choked.

I was joking. But I'm not going to tease you for being thin.
It's just a chart.
SIZES ARE SIZES in clothing. How does Mass Index compare to shirt size. I don't what to mess this thread up.
I really value Fellow female shirt advice. MAybe you should start an American Apparel for MEN thread.
Doodes back off! This is an important topic for PJ women!
If us females had a shirt swapping party
.... Nothing was standard back then. Now it's good.
Keep it positive please.Post edited by STAYSEA on0 -
thanks for saying it first, i was getting a teeny bit agitated at all the comments focusing on her breast size. normally i don't really care about the jokes but i just kinda saw a derailment coming and it's annoying to try and talk about shirt size in accordance with breast size without the peanut gallery burying the real discussionSTAYSEA wrote:
