From when the huge American Apparel ads were first plastered on the windows of the former Gowing store in Darlinghurst a few months ago, we've been eyeing the corner shop every time we walked by, wondering when we'll be able to stop ordering online and having to send stuff back to exchange for the right sizes each time we ordered a new style.
Finally, the hoardings went down and the signboards up and lit over the weekend! Woohoo! The joy of feeling the merchandise and trying them on for size! And taking them home right after paying.
We thought the store would have queues running round the block but I guess not everyone was anticipating the opening as much as we did. So if you want first dips for sizes and colours for your American Apparel favourites, go now, before the rest of Sydney does.

I noticed this yesterday but because I was on the other side of the road and it was pissing down, I didn't go in for a snoop. Have you been for a look and if so when can I expect your verdict?
I've snooped...and parted with cash.
The girlie stuff are on the ground level with a larger floor area and therefore more styles available compared to the boys' in the basement, a smaller space...do the maths.
But boys don't wear dresses, skirts, leggings, unitards and bodysuits (well, most boys, anyway) so in terms of a variety of t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, pants and shorts (some hot pants and underpants), there's a pretty good selection of basics.
Oh wow, that's great news for Sydney! Love their tees... xx
The Deep V-neck ones are my favourite.
exciting huh! going to go get me some leggings to allow skirt wearing on my new bike!
thanks for adding me to your sandpit! i used to work in the buildings above....
Ooooh, you bought the Christiania?!! What colour? Are you getting leggings to match?
You're most welcome. You were added to my "sandpit" not long after we met beside your tent.
Wow! Must have been an amzing space to work in. The windows! And all the natural light.
WTF???? I'd wear a unitard, you know i would!
I know you would! And you'll wear it so very well too.
They are on the ground level of the store, right at the back. Have fun picking a colour! x
oh my god how exciting!
shame i live in brisbane...
Hello Chloe,
Their mail-order service isn't so bad once you find the size that fits you for the various styles. And their exchange/return policy is top-notch.
I bought two tri-blend raglan pullovers and a leotard - nothing else seemed interesting. I'm wearing the warm pullovers a lot, almost everyday! Considering how long it took for them to open the store's interior is not as great as i was expecting.
