It's normal to size down in Lululemon since you'll most likely want a tighter fit (: Usually if you go for your usual size, the leggings will slide down your body when you're moving or working out and you'll constantly have to keep pulling them up
I've had the same experience in Colorado, the Lululemon I went to was even worse. I had a hard time even finding 8 and 10, so it doesn't surprise me one bit that there were so few pieces size 12 and up. From what I've seen, they did what they needed to do to get past some bad press, they talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk and I don't think they ever will. I have some pieces from there (ordered online of course), agree their bike shorts are great. But most of my workout stuff now is athleta and outdoor voices.
In the fitting room shot I was like when is she going to try on that beautiful floral thing on the left?? And then I realized it was Carrie's outfit. You are a queen, Carrie! 🙂
Hi Carrie! I’m a HARD STAN of Lululemon, legit the only leggings I buy (and I have quite the collection!). I live in the NY area and every store I’ve been in has a pretty similar sizing issue to what you witnessed. I agree that they have expanded the bottoms sized item selection far more than tops and I don’t even try to buy bras anymore from Lululemon (I’m typically a 38DD and I find their bras to run very small!). ALSO I’m typically a 16/18 and I wear a size 12 in Lululemon leggings, so in my experience, they run quite big. When I started shopping at Lululemon back in 2016, there were never sizes larger than a 12 on the rack. They recently began expanding into midsizes and having more racial/body diversity in their models online, so I have continued to support them. Lululemon also has AMAZING policies with ripped leggings (if you bring them back ripped at the hem, they replace them FOR FREE!) and they hem any pair of leggings you buy from them for free as well. These are the reasons I love them and continue supporting them, but I understand if this visit soured your opinion towards being a future customer. As always, so appreciative for your content and sending much love!❤️
i love lulu but hate shopping in store. they never have items that i like in store and i am a size 8-10. it’s so much more convenient to shop online once you know your size.
Overall not bad but I guess my takeaway is – I'll stick to fabletics
Happy to see you tried something new especially this brand which I am particularly a fan of!!!! I have maybe 50 items from them and I am almost always the same size and i have some information on that. Lululemon sizing is not very comparable to most stores. I myself am 5’6 125lbs with a rockin bod<3 I am almost always dead on a size 4 in most everything but a 6 in bras! For comparison to normal standard sizes I most often wear a xs/s in everything but in bras a s/m or a 32C/30D And in pants I am a 0/2long. This is just what I’ve learned in my experiences with them:) thought I’d share
That purple floral bike short set looked amazing on you! You should definitely order your correct size online.
The bras fit so different I’m a a cup but wear a 8/10 and I’m OBSESSED with the align collection. I bought a pair of the mesh wunder under used 6 years ago and they still look brand new. I have so many align leggings all black and I’ve tried soooo many dupes and nothing compares. I definitely feel like you could do a 12. I noticed a lot are stretchy.
Also to add they have a lot more in the back normally of all sizes so they may have had sizes in the back I’m a 4-8 in lululemon and I
They had to get from the back a couple times
Where is your “regular bra” from? I love the thick back strap across
Me at home dead 😱 you needed that purple set and the dark bike shorts 💔
Never bought anything from them either. I had the same recollection of them as you do.
Try Aeropostale?!
Sizes may depend on location. I recently went to the location in Breckenridge and it seemed like they had the full spectrum of sizes
I want to see a midsize Patagonia try on so badly! I love Patagonia and I'm a midsize girl myself but i NEVER see any midsize Patagonia content
I haven't found a legging I like better than theirs. Very second skin but doesn't do any compression or smoothing so I feel less confident wearing them out of the house.
ahhhh! need you to do an online haul so you can get all the fabrics (they all do different things)
as a 10/12 in stretchy and 16 in tight stuff my local lululemon always has everything in store in sizes. espescially the black and solids.
i know the do purchasing based on stock sales, so that beverly hills location must not sell much plus stuff. they cycle through items every two weeks so they likely only order what they know is gonna sell.
The sale of lululemon plus size section is UNREAL. They always have the plus sizes left over in we made too much so you can snag them for a steal!
The We Made Too Much spot on the site has some great deals fyi. I find the leggings run large but jackets run small.
This is why I’m an old navy girl for life 🙌🏼
I have to say that you would not need anything larger than a 12 by Lululemon standards. Their sizing is not standard sizing. And for bras…a 14 would also be plenty big enough for you. The fact you were in a 10 says to me a 12 or 14 would be plenty for you. I feel you went in feeling like it should have been standard sizing, but it is not.
I've been shopping at Lululemon since about 2014-2015 and have continued to purchase from them because of their quality and how long the items actually last! I'm a size 4-6 and tend to find a lot of things to work for me both online and in-store. I have leggings that I bought from them probably 5 years ago that I still wear and have continued to hold up throughout my workouts, lifestyle, etc. 😊
I’ve always enjoyed shopping at Lululemon as a mid-size gal…because I’m so much smaller in their sizing 😬 I’m a 14/16 normally and wear a 10/12 with them.
this is interesting cause i usually have the opposite problem at my lulu. sizes 2-8 are usually all out and those are the sizes i need.
Yayyyyyyy
Hey Carrie! I’m a size 4 and you can still see “lumps and bumps” on me in those beautiful grape leaf tights from lulu! Own it girl! You look great!
Get the align bikers!!!!!! Even softer than wundertrain
In Oklahoma the store has NO COLORS so shopping online anyway. Is all I do. With this company sadly. But the online sales are great!
You looked amazing in the 12 size . Love your body shape ❤
The most size inclusive lululemon I’ve been to was on Kauai. I found my size in every item I looked at.
I love lululemon and buy most of my pieces online. I wear sizes between 10-18. The higher sizes I only get online.
The bra didn't fit because you were trying on a size 10 for A/B cups! If you had tried on a 10/12 for DD bra it would of probably fit a lot better on you and would still be a lot bigger than the 10 for A/B cups. The number size of the bra doesn't mean the same thing for the number size for the bottoms. Hence we don't typically use basic numbers to size bras we use cup size and band size.
You should of gotten the purple set! It looked so good on you both bra and bottoms. Idk what you were talking about "if it's not perfect" because you didn't say anything negative about them other than panty lines but that's any legging with that type of material. That set looked so good on you for your skin color as well!
Love that you did this try on haul! It was so interesting hearing your perspective as a size 16. I’m so disappointed by the sizing range there 😩
That purple set with your blond hair looked very Taylor Swift Speak Now.
I'm at 6-8 and whenever I shop at lulu there's never any availability in that size. It's typically always picked over and there will just be three pairs of black leggings and one other colour of most styles. I've checked out a few outlet stores and the options for any size above a ten is massive!
Oh that’s weird… I work for lululemon (in Europe though) and we always have lots of options in sizes 12-16 in pants and 12-14 in tops 🤔 still definitely not perfect but I’m pretty sure you would have found something in our store ☺️
i'm sad there wasn't much selection in this store for you! the store by me always has plenty of straight, mid and plus sizes in stock. maybe if you try a different store you'll have better luck!
Surprisingly, my store never has any of the middle sizes. A lot of 0-2 and 12-20. I can almost never find anything in my size range, 6-10, but online and secondhand has never let me down.
That style of the purple pair is my favorite leggings from lulu. I am mid size and I usually wear a 14 there and these don't roll down and are great for long work outs. I also have them in biker shorts. I have been to three different lululemon stores. Two of them have been great. One of them is an outlet store and I always find great pieces there. The third one is in a very glamorous mall and not many cute items 14 or higher. So, I really think it is location. I have even used their lifetime warranty before, because a pair I had got a hole in it and they replaced it for free.
love lulu but the price gets me every time. i am normally a size 4 but at the locations i have been to normally always have 8-14 but not size 6 or below
Carrie pls do a halara review I need to know if they are actually decent bc jfc they are every add on my tik tok 😭
I do like Lulu, but Fabletics is my one true love, and their stores are very inclusive! I would def try there!! They go from xxs-4X in store and online!
I’ve had my lulu for years and they are worth the $$$ unfortunately size ranges does vary by location. 😪
Where’s your bra from?
A bit off topic of the video, but if you don't mind, can you share where you got your own bra?
I am always looking for a better bra, and it just looked comfy and I am curious. 😅
I’m a UK size 10-12 and buy a lululemon size 4… they’re size chart is slightly different to normal – that could be a factor! I’d love you to do an online order – and try their famous align leggings. I live in them 🥰
