I hope you find sizing that works for you. Have a fun family trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407273 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 07:20:38 +0000 lyn67 2407273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late for this, but I think these look great for a warm weather lounge set (if this is what you are looking for)-both colors are great, and see they have some texture, too- just wouldn't do the rubber thing, that&nbsp; top does not need that IMHO. I would wear it just as they meant it untucked for a flowy drape. Tops have a good fit on the shoulder-so I wouldn't size up for that exact reason. But do you really need a set of 2 pieces-easier to find separates and&nbsp; coordinate somehow? The only&nbsp; one thing I am missing here is a tiny bit of a bigger neckline- just showing up some small collar bone on top. Family trip sound great, hope you are getting well already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407252 Thu, 26 Feb 2026 23:08:53 +0000 Jaime 2407252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have resolved the issue, but enjoy your trip.

I didn’t want to invest yet but maybe it’s time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407226 Thu, 26 Feb 2026 03:12:06 +0000 Ket 2407226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, oh!!! Thank you. That’s helpful to hear. They’re actually XXL, but they’re cut a bit small I think. And the rise in the green pair isn’t deep enough. I kept one pair for pjs. (My winter pjs are too warm for a trip to 80F TX.) I’ll keep searching for active/loungewear that fits me well </p> <p>Lise, yes the pants aren’t great. The rise isn’t right. I have a deep rise so sometimes pants are tricky for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407194 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 22:41:48 +0000 Angie 2407194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have sized you up in both sets in both the top and bottom, so I vote return both of these!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407178 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:12:11 +0000 Ket 2407178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Lise! I agree. The fit isn’t fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407177 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:11:26 +0000 Star (Lise) 2407177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with LJP that the pants look a bit off more than the tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407174 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:58:44 +0000 Ket 2407174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t unfortunately, LJP. They are a matching set, and so bottoms and tops come as a set size. </p> <p>Kind of thinking I might return them, make do for the trip, and then find better fits when we return. They’re just not quite right the more I sit with them. :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407170 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:46:13 +0000 LJP 2407170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pant rise looks too short to my eye - but the top looks fine :). Have you tried a size up in the bottoms ? Or pull them down lower ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407169 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:29:32 +0000 Ket 2407169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like this jacket? I also have this new sweater I thrifted (photo) that I think would be nice worn with the joggers. </p> <p>I agree the navy is dressier! I just wish it was a warmer navy. I like the green but it was deeper in the stock photo. This is more of a mid sage IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407167 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:24:27 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look good on you to my eye. Get well soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407163 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:03:32 +0000 slim cat 2407163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the rubber band use in the last pic - fun! The navy set looks more dressier in pics - just the dark color working it's magic . Both sets could be fine - especially remixed with lightweight jackets with structure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407161 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:23:49 +0000 Ket 2407161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS I’m sure there are curve honoring activewear and loungewear brands out there. Thing is, I am still healing with weight shifts, and I don’t want to seek out and invest in higher quality pieces with my weight transitioning. :-s Def planning to though in the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407160 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:22:19 +0000 Ket 2407160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m sorry I haven’t yet replied on my previous posts!! My family and I all got sick, then everyone got sick *again* a week later. (We have never been this sick before—it’s bizarre.) And now we are leaving tomorrow on a short family trip. :} </p> <p><b>Dilemma</b><br /> New active/loungewear just arrived. I would loooove to wear these for the trip. But… </p> <p>I’m not sure if the top is super flattering on me? </p> <p>The joggers I feel are. </p> <p>I wear sweats to get coffee, workout, so these aren’t “home only” sweats. </p> <p>I tried a couple of rubber band tricks with the top. My feeling is having the sides nipped in at the waist would help a lot. (Sweats in my experience are usually not designed for curvy women.)</p> <p>Yay? Nay? Okay with alterations? </p> <p>Thank you, my dear fabbers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit/page/2#post-2401098 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 02:56:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 2401098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear! At least your daughter knows what your colour is now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit/page/2#post-2401096 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 02:51:33 +0000 anne 2401096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni. I got $20 off for joining their club too. And I think going sleeveless will help with the hear, though if it is a really hot day the length will be a bit hot.</p> <p>And yes, need to buy shoes. Not about other accessories.</p> <p>The bridesmaids I thought were sorted, but are returning their ordered dresses and trying again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit/page/2#post-2401093 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 01:55:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 2401093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pleased for you, that you have got something you’re happy with at a price you feel is reasonable. Now you have the most important component of the outfit down you can feel more secure about sorting out the finer details of accessories and of course help your daughter. This pale blue does suit you really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2401083 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 23:15:10 +0000 anne 2401083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went for the Sheike dress. Fitting room photos not great, but here they are. I can't remember if this was the size I got as I needed up sizing up for a smoother fit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400319 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 16:11:08 +0000 Angie 2400319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anne,</b>&nbsp;you look beautiful in all these tones and hues of light blue! Lucky it's your colour :)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400317 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 16:00:43 +0000 anne 2400317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. I didn't realise about where to tie the sash until I looked up the photo later. I meant to put that in my post but I think it was in the lost post.</p> <p>I like that one the best too, and agree about the bare neckline on the Kookai. I like the colour though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400314 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 14:56:43 +0000 Angie 2400314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Sheike dress, <b>Anne</b>! Pics #1 and #2 posted in the thread. The colour is very pretty, and the neckline unique! Try tying the sash in front. I don't think you can sit on the sash tied at the back.&nbsp;</p> <p>From want I can see, the neckline of the Kookai is not as good. A little bare. I like that dress from the waist down :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400296 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 03:24:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Kookai one! Yes, Serendipity was just a particular shop that took outlet stock from various brands. The daughter’s ball dress I got by chance- I was looking in Modes, a very long-standing formal wear store, and they happened to be having a sort of outlet sale of their own stuff next door at the time. Modes still exists if you felt like Googling it (think it’s in Newmarket, Auckland) but the prices are eye-watering mostly. So it was just if you might have a similar sort of store in Perth somewhere. The stores you hit did sound feasible but bad luck that no results.<br /> Here is a pretty blue one from Modes just for another idea. It’s over $1100 though! Eye-watering to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400295 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 03:00:14 +0000 anne 2400295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, having so much trouble posting.<br /> Just lost a reply<br /> Here's two I tried<br /> <a href="https://www.sheike.com.au/products/olivia-maxi-dress-blue?srsltid=AfmBOoqWxFjmAD_GCHwiquYaUOkV7vKS6WrW3BWch8kD2NjkDmEZ5Bqw" rel="nofollow">https://www.sheike.com.au/prod.....jkDmEZ5Bqw</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.kookai.com.au/products/maria-halter-maxi-dress-ice-water" rel="nofollow">https://www.kookai.com.au/prod.....-ice-water</a><br /> More reasonable prices too.</p> <p>I am not, sure, Jenni, if we exactly have the shops you are talking about. But I hit a consignment shop, a bridal resale shop and 4 op shops with no results. I have a ticket for a dress for success sale next weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400049 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 14:38:38 +0000 Karie 2400049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress you tried on is gorgeous!

When I was choosing I tried on various ones that appealed and asked the forum, but ultimately bought a sale dress in the cobalt I love and had it altered. In your city are there any sort of outlet type boutiques you could trawl through- new clothes but maybe last year’s stock or something which might reduce the price somewhat? We used to have one called Serendipity which was a great name because it really was! I guess you are looking for quite a specific colour… just I found a ball dress for a daughter once that way at maybe say $80 instead of $300! But it does mean trawling through B&amp;M stores all over town possibly. </p>
