Disappointed with AB quality recently
Around a year ago I tried this jacket on in my local AB store, but they were sold out of my size. They only had the size down, which was too small. I loved the jacket, due to the fit, styling, slightly stretchy, thicker but not too thick fabrication. I was excited to finally nab one of these jackets, and I was expecting the same jacket. However, IMO that's not the case. This jacket is really thin-like a thin shirt and not like a jacket (or even a shacket). The fabric isn't stretchy at all. The fit was as expected, TTS, unless you want to be able to fit a thicker sweatshirt.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Meh
I didn't like the fit or fabric feel of these. I love the way my other Mother Tomcat jeans fit-at least the ones that are 98% cotton/ 2% elastine. I found these Tomcats to be too stretchy, and they seemed like they'd bag out. I think they fit slightly large, and if I had planned to keep them, I probably would have tried a size down to account for the bagginess that I think might occur. In any case, a miss for me!

So cute
These are so cute. My only issue was that there was a judge on the inside of the left toe box. The right show didn't have this so I am assuming it was a defect. That is the only reason I sent them back. Otherwise, super cute, and TTS!

Not really a sweatshirt
I own a lot of AB sweatshirts from previous seasons, and they generally have a slightly thicker feel with a somewhat soft inside. This Arlo sweatshirt isn't exactly a thicker fabric. It feels more like a long sleeve t-shirt in the same fabric that other graphic AB tees are made from. As fas as sizing, AB usually has an oversized fit, and I wear an XS. I took a small in this top as it is described as a crop fit on her website, and it is only slightly baggy. If I accidentally sent this through the dryer, it would be a slim fit. I do like the color and graphic, so I will probably keep it. Just know you won't be getting the traditional AB sweatshirt with this top!

Definitely lots of volume but cute
This dress has lots of volume, and the fabric is a stiffer (but still thin and wearable) cotton. I think the color is a tad more mustard and muted than the photo suggests, but that could be my monitor. I am 5'5", lean, and I ordered the XXS. I rolled the sleeves up to give it more structure, and tried a black lace AB bra under so the lace peeks out. I tried it with AB ankle boots, and I tried silver metallic Birkenstocks. Both are cute. Either a black leather jacket or denim jacket would be my go-to. I am still on the fence as to whether I will keep this, but I am leaning towards keeping!

Prettier in person
This dress fits big, but it's also supposed to be flowy, and easy breezy. I always take an XS in AB clothing, and that's what I ordered here. The fabric is silky, so it has a beautiful flow and drape. The color/print is prettier in person, in my opinion. I rolled up the sleeves to give it more shape, and I will wear this with an ivory bralette, the ties undone, and a pair of white Birkenstocks, or the AB criss cross studded leather slides that I'm eyeing up! I think a denim jacket would be cute for breezier weather, too.

Great piece but fit was off for me
I thought that this blazer was well made. It's fully lined, and the fabric is substantial. I love the tweed like fabric/pattern, which reminds me of a vintage 80's jacket. The fabric has a few colored specks in addition to the cream and black, which was a nice surprise. Overall, I loved this blazer. The only issue I had was that while the shoulders and arms fit great-perfectly oversized, the body of the jacket, and the length were disproportionally large in comparison to the upper portion if that makes sense. Overall, the jacket had a strange tent-like effect in the body, and the length looked awkwardly long on my 5'5" frame. If this blazer were made in an XXS, I don't think that would help, because then the upper body would be too fitted. Anyway, this is a great piece worth trying!

Can't wash it!
The fit is a bit oversized, but it's meant to be that way. For that reason, I'd say it's true to size. The style and fit are super cute, and I love that this is fully lined; the trim is a soft, real leather. The care instruction tag specifically states do not machine wash, do not dry clean, spot clean only. For an everyday jacket, eventually the entire thing will need to be washed, so I docked stars for the high maintenance of what is supposed to be an everyday jacket. This is my fault for not reading the care instructions listed on the website's description, though.

Perfect layer!
I love this jacket. I think it fits TTS, but it is oversized. In my usual size, I can layer a sweatshirt or thick sweater comfortably, but with a tee under it doesn't look hugely oversized. My TTS fits like it does on the model in the pic. This jacket has side pockets, and it is lined. Great quality, and the color is even better in person.

Almost perfect
I think the shape of this cardigan is perfect! I would say this cardigan runs TTS given that it is meant to fit relaxed/boxy. It definitely didn't hang shapelessly on me. This is a thick knit, and I think that the quality is excellent. This is almost the cardigan of my dreams. The only issue is that I found the wool to be scratchy. Just touching the cardigan felt soft, so I was disappointed that I experienced this. My skin is sensitive, though, so I was bummed this didn't work for me. Honestly, this cardigan is so good, and if you're on the fence, it's definitely worth trying. The quality, fit, color-impeccable!
