AA’s Multi-Dress Dress

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Dresses | Monday, 25 August 2008
Pink Rock Candy, American Apparel, Le Sac Dress

Where do you go to get you casual, multi-purpose, no-frills clothes? American Apparel of course! All of their basics are good quality and aren’t made in sweatshops. Sure, they may be a tad over-priced but if I can rationalize thousand dollar Louboutins then I can definitely understand the necessity for a $35 t-shirt, right? Today, however, I’m not going to wax poetic about their t-shirts, leggings, bodycon skirts, thigh-high socks, or even their bodysuits, for that matter. Right now, it’s their extra-versatile ‘Le Sac Dress’ that excite me.

Sure, this dress would have been much better for summer considering my days of wearing sleeveless dresses on the east coast are numbered, but it will be just as cute under a cardigan or even the perfect leather motorcycle jacket. The bitter chill of winter is upon us, and there’s no stopping it— but, weather issues aside, I love the thought of having a basic dress that can be multiple dresses with a slight variation in how you tie it.

I have to admit, I’m not really sure about all of their dress-tying suggestions, but for the most part I would wear each look. Plus, I’m pretty sure there are other variations on ‘Le Sac Dress’ you could figure out if you had the time and the creativity. Perhaps, AA should give you a complimentary how-to guide with a ton of different ways to tie the dress.

Not only can you switch up ‘Le Sac Dress’ by changing the way it’s tied and wrapped, but you can also change the straps. They’re selling extra straps at AA for $10, but I’m sure you could just go to you’re local fabric/craft store and buy some cool ribbon to be the straps for a couple bucks. Either way, this multi-dress dress is definitely worth the $38 they’re charging. Now all we have to do is get them to stop charging $35 for some of their tees and everything with be square.

    I’m so glad you’re back! I think the dress is very versatile, I just saw it when I was shopping at AA this past weekend (I bought the latex leggings and a fanny pack). It’s definitely worth $38. Regarding AA’s prices, I agree that they’re a bit high, but since they manufacture in the U.S., you don’t have to worry about buying into unfair labor practices and sweatshop activity.

    lauren:
    The fact that its like buying multiple dresses for the price of one makes me really excited too!

    Poster Girl:
    Thanks! I’m glad to be back. I used to be annoyed by their semi-high prices, but now I would rather pay a little bit more for quality clothes and a clear-ish conscience. Oh, and latex leggings? I want! I think I need to head to my local AA and see if they have this dress there so I won’t have to pay shipping.

    danz:
    The first time I saw the picture I was like “Whoa!” but its AA, everything revolves around sex when it comes to their advertisements, so… The shock value aside, I love the lilac color too!

    That dress looks great in styles 1,4 and 5 and trust that it would look great on you. I can’t wait for fall, the in-between seasons always get me excited. What I love most about fall is the light layering and the cool breeze in the air.

    But yeah, AA really needs to lower some of their prices although I don’t see that happening.
