the idea is great, but the reality is that american apparel is overpriced and the clothes are cut for skinny, tall kids. there is a generosity of length in the tank tops, but not of breadth. these tank tops run small, but they are longer than most other tanks. when you shrink them, there's still some length so that your stomach isn't showing. but they're basically junior sized without saying so. i'm looking for another resource for tank tops.
