While pricey, the quality, design and fit make it worthwhile.<br /> My first pair of yoga pants bought 9 yrs ago are still going strong. Ditto for other merchandise - note that I haven't bought a lot - because everything lasts so long!<br /> I'd recommend you try stuff on first if possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729520 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:42:03 +0000 Mo 729520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woah, I'm surprised at these different answers! I had one yoga tank given me by a friend and it was SO small I could barely fit my chest in it. I am not busty by any means. It fit like an xs for sure and was tagged a small.<br /> I also have a run skirt by them that I love and it was a 6, I believe. I'll have to check. It is stretchier material than the yoga tank was, so maybe that's the difference?</p> <p>EDIT: yes, I checked it was a 6 and I bought it in 2010. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729483 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:36:50 +0000 Aziraphale 729483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Their clothes do wear well -- I've got LuLuLemon pants that are nearly over ten years old and still going -- and I'm a good one to ask because I lived two blocks from LuLuLemon ground zero when it first opened twelve or fifteen years ago. Over the years I've picked up quite a lot from there. I've never had an item die an untimely death, and I put the stuff in the dryer and everything. A testament to the quality of their merchandise is the fact that every single suburban soccer mom in Vancouver's lower mainland owns at least one pair of LuLuLemon sweats and one of their scuba hoodies. I don't think I'm exaggerating. It's like an epidemic. It's one of the reasons I no longer shop there...it identifies me too strongly with a "tribe". Well, that and I can't stand their salespeople. But you can't knock the quality and style of their yoga gear -- it's the best.</p> <p>And yes, it *does* fit small. Most of it's supposed to be skin-tight. One guy I know lovingly describes LuLuLemon yoga pants as "a bra for a woman's butt". The gals in the shop always try to get you to buy stuff in a size smaller than you think you need, and forget wearing anything but thong underpants with them, because they want the sweatpants to go right up the crack of your rear. As far as the jackets go, they are supposed to fit pretty tight too, and I see a lot of middle-aged mothers wearing them tight enough that it shows their spare tires. So I'd size up. The sleeves are often extra-long too, which lots of people like, myself included -- although one time, they were so extra-long that I had to have them shortened. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729473 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:18:46 +0000 Glory 729473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the quality fantastic. I would recommend a trip to the store and try tops and bottoms. I feel then you would know your size and would be safe ordering </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729469 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:12:40 +0000 keruchina 729469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find their items both TTS and highly consistent. The items with the thicker, regular luon fabric are more forgiving when they are snugger than the thinner materials (luon light, luxtreme, etc.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729467 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:09:58 +0000 Janet 729467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recommend a visit. Some of the sizing is a preference (the SAs seem to prefer things tighter than I do, hence the pair of yoga pants I have in a 6 but wish they were an 8). But I've found some jackets slightly more generously sized than I might have expected. It's not entirely unpredictable, but there's enough inconsistency that I'd want to try their items on to get a sense of specific items' fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729464 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:04:57 +0000 rae 729464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the info - especially the note that the items wear really well. It seems like many think they run small... it seems like it might be worth making the trek to a b&amp;m store if they have the item I'm considering, because it is final sale ATM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729446 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:43:11 +0000 Anonymous 729446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I'm typically an 8 in tops and a 4 or 6 in bottoms, and that is true in Lululemon too. I do like my workout stuff snug.</p> <p>Their stuff is pricey but wears like iron. I'm a fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729416 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:07:03 +0000 Suz 729416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I would agree wtih Krish so it sounds as if they are smaller at the small end. I have a few things from there, but no jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729397 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:44:22 +0000 Glory 729397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few items from them. Two jackets which I find snug, a tank top true to size. My daughters have shorts and pants and they are true to size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729391 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:19:48 +0000 Preppy Pear 729391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True to size, maybe even slightly big, but like Parsley, I'm on the larger end of the range. I wear 10 in their tanks and yoga pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729367 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 11:08:09 +0000 Parsley 729367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear my usual size in Lululemon, but I'm at the larger end of the range. I wonder if it's mainly the smaller sizes that run small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729359 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:43:01 +0000 krishnidoux 729359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am petite and I have always found that LL 's sizes were small. They go 2 -4-6- 8- etc.<br /> 2 is really tiny. I think you would be a 6 or 8.</p> <p>LL jackets are a true investment. I have several and have used them extensively. They are great for travelling, and I have even worn some at diplomatic functions, that's how versatile they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729274 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 04:10:45 +0000 Janet 729274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find them true to size. I have their running crops in a 6 and an 8, for example, and those are my typical sizes in pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729272 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 04:03:37 +0000 rae 729272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! Thanks a bunch; I had a feeling that could be the case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729271 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 03:55:18 +0000 annagybe 729271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have their jacket and tops in 8's and 10's. I'm normally 8-10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729270 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 03:53:21 +0000 rae 729270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know - I like snug workout gear and jackets in general. Anna and Ali, do you mean true to the size chart, or true to your regular jacket size? According to their chart, I'm a 6, but I normally wear either a 0 or 2 in jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729267 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 03:18:34 +0000 Anonymous 729267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that they run true to size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729253 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:49:48 +0000 annagybe 729253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it true to size. But I like tight workout gear. Feel all sleek and powerful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729252 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:49:40 +0000 Krista 729252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - I just checked the lululemon website and they do have a sizing chart for items. And I do find lululemon runs small.... I rarely have luck finding things in their stores, which is too bad because the quality is quite good. Their target market is clearly small women - and I don't mean that unkindly, it's just the reality of the brand. Curvy gals like me have a hard time finding stuff there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lululemon-sizing#post-729246 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:39:14 +0000 rae 729246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed this brand make some really cool jackets that hardly look like gear at all... but for some reason Ebay sellers of Lululemon do not like to provide measurements - seriously looked at like 10 listings and nothing!</p> <p>Anyone familiar? Mo? According to the sizing chart they seem to run very small, but I have been burned by size charts before. </p>
