I appreciate the acknowledgement that $80 is a high cost for a dress for most people.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

Yes, I always thought the whole idea of purchasing online was to save money, I didn't feel any of those items were 'bargain prices'

[@misseselise3864]

fr. i used to love watching clever style but had to quit watching bc it was exhausting listening to them say that $100-$200 for a single item is cheap

[@jboudie]

Though I agree that $80 might be a lot for most people to spend on a garment, it doesn't necessarily mean that a brand new dress should cost much less than $80. I think fast fashion -- and its bottom of the barrel prices -- has given consumers a false ideal about how much garments should cost. Because fast fashion competitors like Shein or H&M are able to charge so much less for these items (largely thanks to unsustainable business practices and exploitation), consumers now feel that items should always be as cheap as possible, and if they aren't they're "overpriced". As someone with a low income, I think $80 is a reasonable price for a dress (even if I can't afford it), as long as the quality reflects the price point (and judging by their ratings, it was a nice quality piece). The issue is that we aren't saving up to buy 1 nice dress per year, or even per season anymore; we are buying 10x the amount of clothing that we did 20 years ago, and expecting each item to cost a fraction of the price it used to.

[@pugparty9839]

Yeah but meanwhile they were raving about $120 sweats

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

@@pugparty9839 Good point

[@Amandalandxoxo]

I really appreciate that you girls have taken some of the feedback into consideration, for me, the videos have been much better rotating a few people at a time. ❤

[@regina_agl]

Yes! I love that they took the time to read comments and improve! Love the girls

[@jaymap121]

I agree! I really enjoyed this one! It was so fun and seemed so much more organic.

[@deborahrowe1564]

Feel like this is like the clevver format which is super palatable and not overwhelming

[@PaytonTaylor02]

Totally agree with this! Love all the women, but when it’s all of them, it’s a bit too chaotic. This rotating cast based on need and representation feels on the nose and perfect. For lack of a better term, buzzfeed reminiscent of their golden days of certain teams creating certain content - make sense?

[@kpatt13]

Really appreciate Jess’s contributions to this video.

[@teruldacz]

Jess sounds like she knows how to sew. She just knows fabric and sewing finishes so well

[@daisydog]

Her background is theater! Maybe she helped with costumes at times.

[@Itsamandalau]

Yes!! Love her detailed input in this

[@thedevillovesyou]

she crochets i believe so it would make sense if she knew how to sew too

[@sidneysews]

I would love to see them do a sewing challenge

[@maireadnic8280]

@@Itsamandalauit adds hugely to the reviews!

[@m0061]

I liked the aspect of this video which was one person picking an outfit, and then everyone trying it in their own size. I think it was just cool to see the different fits across the sizes- good video, liked this set up, awesome work!!

[@diamondpayne5959]

PLEASE more videos like this!!! They are my FAVE and I love getting more content of a few of the girlies at a time like this. You all have the best personalities and just shine when you are together ❤

[@erogers2687]

I enjoyed everything about this video. Loved Jess's perspective on the items especially.

[@jadewagner]

Right? She was so detailed in her explanations. The effort put toward giving us the full picture on every item is *chefs kiss*

[@lucypowell5031]

I think jess was the perfect person to have on this video!! She seems to know so much about the fabrics and how the garments were made!! More of jess pls 💗

[@flippedthepaige]

Love this! Definitely want to order those jeans! Also have a video idea: you should re-review all of your 10/10 items from over the years and see if you feel the same! And have the other girls rate them too!

[@NaturallyNoelle_]

Love seeing the outfits on different bodies! In some ways, I’m reminded of the video Sierra did where she tried on size 12 jeans at different stores! (Which is the video that brought me to her channel!) I really like this version better- seeing body representation makes me so happy! ☺️

[@GayleenFroese]

Thank you so much for including midsize. It's amazing to see clothes on someone who's close to my own size.

[@adhdbyjess]

Okay so the jeans Kenzie chose are INCREDIBLE and I literally just bought them. With my Healthcare worker discount and £10 off when you sign up to their website, I got them for £53.95 and free shipping. THANK YOU girls for inspiring me to make an investment into jeans and ones that i’m sure i’ll LOVE❤

[@Nikepo]

For anyone shopping bodysuits, the bodysuits from Old Navy are dbl lined like this to make them seamless. They are much cheaper and sound exactly like this quality, they are my favorite.

[@rachelkat]

You a real one!!!

[@BuilderBobda]

I have both Abercrombie and Old Navy body suits (I lovvvve bodysuits lol). Abercrombie has a tiny bit more support for heavier chests (I wear a 36D), but otherwise the Old Navy ones are best for price!

[@Nikepo]

That's good to know! Ty =D@@BuilderBobda

[@llamasugar5478]

This is SO much more candid and fun than recent videos. This was such a great video! Felt like a face time to my friends. And i adore Jess and kenzie as additions to this video. 😍 I really enjoyed watching this!

[@sarahneubert3377]

I love Kenzie’s style! It’s so practical and cute. It makes sense as a mom but it’s still stylish. I need to see more of her wardrobe.

[@bubbleowl1539]

As someone who is almost the exact same proportions as Jess, with height and size, it was really great to see her in this video! Would love to see more of her on screen!

[@Luceisamisfit]

Loved everything about this! And it was so nice to see Jess in a video (and as someone who is autistic and has ADHD, I really appreciated Jess giving more of a review from a sensory point of view because ultimately that’s what will determine what I wear) ❤️❤️

[@amandapanda3041]

I am a size 22/24 and I’ve never felt included in my friend group when shopping. You have given me so much confidence to try new brands. Thank you so much ❤

[@Jocelyn-ml3gv]

Shopping Abercrombie to me is a lot like Old Navy- you can frequently find great coupon codes or a sale so there's no need to ever buy full price! I generally always get things at least 20% off- but they usually also have stackable 15% off in addition codes.

[@nancygonzalez6354]

THIS! I hardly ever buy full price and I love everything I’ve gotten there

[@SuperJezzara]

Is there somewhere you find codes or are you just on the lookout for them sending email promotions?

[@nancygonzalez6354]

@@SuperJezzara I’m always on the lookout for email codes and sometimes I’ll come across them on TikTok

[@Jocelyn-ml3gv]

@@SuperJezzara I just see TikToks of them (the stackable ones) and then the site has sales like every couple weeks too. Also, every time you order they sent you a survey after if you do it (takes like one minute) they send you 15% off your next order

[@stacymgonz]

@@SuperJezzaraI have the app so I just check randomly. They have sales pretty frequently! I feel like they’ll definitely have a good one again soon or right after Christmas.

[@angd6578]

Sierra saying she's 3 inches taller than Kenzie😆 made me giggle so hard. ❤️❤️❤️

[@vocalnerd]

When "Girl Math" flashed on the screen, I cracked up. 😂 On an actual math note, the difference in sizing actually makes sense if you factor in the increased length for bigger sizes. The website states a 28 regular has a 29" inseam. If we estimate 1/2" more length going up a size, that would make a 35 regular 3.5" longer--a 32.5" inseam. The short version of Abercrombie pants are 2" shorter than the regular for the same size. So that means a 35 short would have a 30.5" inseam. Those inseam lengths are 1.5" apart, and Kenzie is 1.5" shorter than Sierra (5'3" versus 5'4.5"). So it totally makes sense; huzzah! There is also a separate scenario in which people of different heights could wear the same pants because one person has a long torso paired with short legs and the other has a short torso paired with long legs. Anyway, that is why it works out. 😂

[@vivakatrob13]

@@vocalnerdThe only thing that’s weird to me is looking at them all standing, Sierra is definitely shorter than Kenzie

[@heatherlobeck]

I was in highschool when Abercrombie was at its peak but my family was never financially able to shop there. After the previous CEO was outted for being a terrible person, my view of them plummeted. Now that they've turned things around, it just hasn't been enough for me to have interest in paying so much money.

[@TheRealJader]

Yes I feel the same!! Like okay great they finally have a XXL that doesn't make up for how awful the brand made me feel as a teen.

[@Jeniveve]

Same!!!!

[@werbinich]

exact same story here!

[@sarabenton4915]

OMG same, they made me feel horrible as a teenager and their atmosphere of their stores at their peak was so jarring and loud. I won't even buy AF at the goodwill now, it was the CEO that was the nail in the coffin. For this price point I would rather give my money to Everlane or Quince@@TheRealJader

[@lilithgreen3840]

Hey, could you talk more about the material ? Like: Cotton, Wool, Nylon…. That’s something that is very important to me and maybe also to others.

[@meeprific]

I’d love to see this type of video for Anthropologie!

Yes! I’ve never shopped from them, but have always been curious

[@technicolortabby4239]

[@josephinerimmer6888]

I’m a recent discoverer of your channel and I love the concept of three differently sized girls trying the same outfits. Fantastic idea!

[@katelyn6039]

I cannot get behind the solid color sweat set trend 💀 love it for those who feel confident in them but I just feel like a shapeless blob

[@kristinacrnkovic8886]

Reminds me of people in prison lol

[@StephRank]

I remember someone in the halloween episode suggested the girls who are able to try the other girls sizes when they say maybe it would fit better if I was larger or smaller. Just trade so we can see if that fixes the issue. And if you guys prefer it.

[@JenKnee423]

That was me 😊

can i just say how amazing jess' inclusion was in this vid, both for her perspective of course, but also because as someone w a similar body to her i just feel so seen? great video overall, the brutally honest reviews are rly benefiting from the added povs.

[@bethbcrafts]

I wish you would've taken the chance to try on each other's pieces in other sizes to see if things worked better. With Jess and the top of the sweat suit - Sierra had the XL which maybe would've worked better?

[@elizabethroper6181]

I think the point was that they were ordering their “normal” sizes and also basing it off the online size chart, which goes to show even then you can’t be sure something is going to fit

[@bethbcrafts]

@@elizabethroper6181 Yeah, I agree that's what they were doing, but it would've shown even more info if they shared sizes when possible. In fact, after I posted my comment I got to the end of the video and they did just what I asked with the pants.

[@thealiciah]

Absolutely adored this video! The three of you gave such a broad view of sizes that really added a ton of credibility to the overall review. I’m so happy to see the brutally honest reviews return in this way ❤

[@morgantiedemann2108]

We need to see more of Kenzie's outfits! I think i really align with her style😊

[@bingobongo0001]

i love seeing kenzie in these fashion videos! we have very similar builds (shortish shmediums) which is actuallyy kinda hard to find, and i love her style. im a pretty big fan of abercrombie too, they tend to have pretty good quality basics which can be a bit pricey but in myy experience last quite a long time (i still have my abercrombie tank top from 11 years ago). jess also seems to know a lot about the fabric and garment craftsmanship which was awesome to hear.

[@KT-1429]

One of the things I wish you spoke about more and considered more, especially related to quality, is the fabric type. A lot of Abercrombie's clothing is polyester which is one of the worst fabrics from an environmental standpoint. Additionally, it's prone to pilling, running, and melting because it's basically just plastic. That "sherpa" jacket is 100% polyester= there is no way I would ever pay $100+ for a nonbreathable, plastic jacket.

[@blackrosebud2331]

I really appreciate your videos even when you're being not so happy with a piece of clothing your videos are so so happy and positive and they're really helping me with a tough time that I've got going on thank you so much.

In my size, they also work as street wear when I pair them with a graphic/band tee, a sweater or even denim jackets. I have them in like 3 colors and need them in more! They’re so versatile for me❤️

$100 isn’t a lot for a jacket that’s nice but it IS a lot for polyester which is what that Sherpa jacket is made from, that money would be better spent on a nicer quality piece that would last way longer and age well

[@christiecruzxo2841]

Excellent comment and your so right! Their winter parkas while a little more expensive are the better buy. You can get something like the Sherpa at old navy. Their jeans are also bananas in terms of fit and last a long time.
