[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stuff is horrible.  The material is so thin and cheap.  "Tissue thin shirts" are the worst invention ever.  Who decided that was a good idea, and then decided to sell it exclusively at ATL? [/quote]

I think J Crew started that fad, actually - that, and their cousin the "embellished" tees, which I think have finally died a long-overdue death. Ugh. If I wanted threadbare shirts with rhinestones all over them, I'd wear my clothes for 15 years and bedazzle them myself.

I'm another person who thinks ATL is crazy with the vanity sizing, and I am no skinny humble bragger. The fact that they've had to introduce XXS says it all.

As for the snobbery - it's because ATLs are ubiquitous, unremarkable, appeal to the mainstream middle-class (gasp! the horror!), and sometimes, but not always, drift into dowdiness. I have a few cute things from there, including a few tops I loved and wore all summer, but facts are facts, there's a lot of frump in there too.[/quote]
