I don't get to Walmart very often, but after seeing an influencer campaign featuring their new clothing label called Free Assembly, I've been curious to see the collection in person. Spring is almost here, and as winter winds down, I always get inspired to stock up on fun new pieces for the hotter seasons. I'll be sharing my thoughts on the line in this Free Assembly clothing review, so keep reading for info on Free Assembly quality, sizing, and a look at what I brought home.
Brand Background
Free Assembly aims to be more eco-conscious than other Walmart brands, and consists of Men's, Women's, and Kids' apparel. Expect better quality, more organic cotton, labels made from recycled materials, and improved tailoring. In true Walmart form, affordability still stands; most items are priced under $40. After a browse around the Women's and Girls' clothing departments at Walmart, all the fresh new Free Assembly merchandise on display at Walmart proved irresistible.
The ad campaign and styling evokes a carefree, preppy feel with crisp basics and laid-back looks.
Here's a peek at my store's small selection of Free Assembly.
The gingham fit and flare dress ($32) and the white blouson dress ($28) practically scream spring picnic, farmers' market, Sunday brunch, or garden party. Both are medium weight (not sheer), and versatile enough for casual days or dressier occasions. I can appreciate special details such as puffy sleeves, gathered waistlines, and any dress that has pockets!
Shop spring favorites:
This gingham tie-front tank top is part of the Girl's department, where they stocked an assortment of cute denim jackets, floaty dresses, and cropped denim. The top also comes in black and has a price point of $12. I didn't buy it, but it's still tempting me. The back of the top is solid white knit fabric, and it looks like it runs slightly big.
The Kids' clothing seems more vibrant and fashion-forward than the Women's, and I recommend giving it a peek if you have kids or if you can fit into their sizes.
Sizing notes: Kids' size are from 5 to 18, and Women's are from XS to XXXL (0 to 14).
I bought the mixed media blousant shirt pictured below on the right. It runs true to size, has 7/8 length sleeves, and perfectly captures a business casual vibe.
I'm wearing size XS, and it fits nicely. The bow ties at the cuffs are fixed, so they aren't adjustable. I like the slanted seam design in front, as it's visually flattering. The back of the top drapes nicely due to inverted pleats, and the bottom half is made of the striped woven fabric. This is the sort of top that I can wear for a weekend walk and then around town to do errands. It has a professional-meets-athletic look that gives it versatility without being boring.
I could not resist these True Waist Wide leg jeans ($22) from the Girls' department. I'm wearing size 14 and they fit well, with a tiny amount of gapping at the back waist. The length is perfect for me, no hemming needed! The delicate floral print is fun, and the 98% cotton, 2% spandex construction gives them some stretch, but not so much that they lose their shape. They are medium weight, and not see-through, which can be an issue with light denim. They come in other prints and colors, including a thin railroad stripe which I almost bought.
