Abercrombie And Fitch Has Some New Looks

by AlterationsNeeded on August 13, 2009

Abercrombie & Fitch generally runs pretty small, especially when you find items that say “shrunken fit” in the description. I’ve had good luck with sweaters (cashmere!) and tank tops in size XS, but there is of course the problem of it being Abercrombie & Fitch…known for catering to pretentious teenagers and the home of tacky moose embroidery. With that being said, there is some hope for tiny petites looking for s…

…n the hunt for a tiny cashmere sweater for quite some time. All the “items every woman should own” lists have cashmere as a top wardrobe priority, but every one I found was about 1-2 sizes too large.

…n are of this variety. For example, this top fit me fantastically! Petite sleeveless tie-neck top (rayon/spandex) Jackets: I’ve found a few blazers in P00 that have worked me, and each one has had the word “stretch” on the label. Go figure, since the stretchy fabric garments are cut smaller right? Look for things that say “stretch”, and there’s a chance it’ll fit. Pants: Just like with the jackets, the P00 pants that have the word “stretch” so…
