The Lil Goodie Goodie - Dirty Tricks

MOTHER mostly fits true to size with a snug waist and long legs, but a handful of denim cuts stray a full size in either direction.

Owners and denim reviewers land on true to size as the baseline — one petite reviewer wears her usual 25 "in most Mother styles," and an editorial roundup calls the fit true to size and slightly snug in the waist. The caveat is cut-level: reviewers report the Insider and Looker styles running small and the Ditcher and Dodger running large, with one long-term buyer ranging from a 24 to a 26 across styles. Tops and sweatshirts draw quieter feedback but are consistently reported true to size with a relaxed cut. Inseams run long, so shorter wearers lean on the Lil (petite) line or plan to hem.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size as the default, but check the specific cut's reviews first — size up in the Insider/Looker-type slim crops, down in the Ditcher/Dodger, and consider the Lil line if you're petite.

What's my size at MOTHER?

Owners report MOTHER's tees are soft and comfortable, with cuts that match expectations — one retailer reviewer called the core crewneck 'so comfortable and the perfect size and shape,' and a graphic-tee-focused blogger who owns several ranks the brand in her top two for graphic tees. The recurring gripe is value: even a five-star reviewer wrote that the 'fabric does not equate to price,' and another questioned pricing relative to quality, since the jersey is lightweight. Composition also shifts across the range — one retailer lists a colorway as 100% Supima cotton while another lists a 60% cotton/40% recycled cotton shell — so the fabric feel varies style to style.

Strengths

Soft cotton crewnecks and vintage-styled graphic tees that owners find comfortable and well-shaped, with the graphics singled out as among the best around by a tee-focused reviewer.

Watch out for

Reviewers — including satisfied ones — repeatedly flag that the thin, lightweight jersey does not feel worth the price, and fiber content differs by style and colorway.

Sizing

Retailer fit feedback on the core Lil Goodie Goodie crewneck reports it runs true to size.
