How was everyone's weekend? Mine was all too short. I did some last minute online shopping, and picked up some toys for my furkids from Target. I can't believe the week of Christmas is here! What a year it's been. So here we are with part two of my Lululemon order.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops, for bras I wear a size 6. I'm a 34A.
I was curious about the Ready To Rulu Fleece Pullover and ordered it in my usual size 4 to try. I do think this runs a little large and I should have sized down. It's very roomy all around, especially in the body. The fit is wide and boxy which I wasn't expecting. The fabric is very soft and I didn't find this to be fleecy at all. It does feel brushed on the outside. The inside is smooth, but the seams going across the body in the front I found to be very stiff and kind of scratchy which was surprising.
The sleeves are long, but I do appreciate the thumbholes. If I were to do it again I would definitely size down unless you prefer the oversized fit. For $108 I think it's a little high for what it is, but if it hits WMTM, I would reconsider. I'm surprised the submarine color sold out so quickly. I think the savannah is also a very pretty color, but between all three colors I prefer the gray.
I ordered both Like A Cloud bras to try. The long line is a fit request but I was curious about the regular version as well. For Lululemon bras I'm a size 6 pretty much across the board. My regular bra size is a 34A or 34AA.
First off, this bra is soooo soft. It really does feel like I'm putting on a bra made out of a comforter. The cups are built in and they are on the thin side, which if you look closely, you do see a little bit of a nip showing through. The straps are comfortable and I liked the criss cross design. I did not feel restricted at all with any arm movements. Overall I really like this bra but I did have one issue with it. If I stretched my arms forward or bent over to touch my toes the front of the bra gaped pretty badly. I'm not sure if this is because I don't have B/C cups. Maybe the extra fabric on top should have been filled by boobage I don't have? I'm not sure. 😆
I really like this bra and wish it worked for me. I found it to be true to size. Next up we have the original Like A Cloud Bra. I also found this to be true to size as well.
Like A Cloud Bra Cassis Size 6
The same comfort can be said for this bra as the Like A Cloud Bra Long Line. The major difference is the length and the straps. The straps here are more traditional and they are not adjustable which I think is a major downfall. They are on the longer side and after a few minutes the straps started falling off my shoulders. I should mention that my torso is probably shorter than most. Another difference is I did not have the gaping issue with this bra. I think if this bra had the criss cross strap similar to the long line, I would have kept it. One thing I really did like about both bras - they did not accentuate my back fat. They did a really good job of minimizing it! Both are very comfortable. I would say if you're interested in either of these bras, definitely try it out. It may work for you.
A couple of other purchases I'd like to mention- my all time favorite headband for working out is the Fringe Fighter Headband. I couldn't resist adding a couple of more to my collection. I added Diamond Dye Chrome Violet Verbena and Pink Pastel/Ancient Copper. I also had to have the Vinyasa Scarf in Diamond Dye Graphite Pink Pastel to my Vinyasa collection. I haven't bought a new scarf in forever because I haven't needed to wear one, but this was just too pretty to pass up!
That's it for me! Hope you all have a fabulous Monday!

Thank you for the reviews! I tried and liked the In A Cloud Bra. The only reason that I did not keep it is because the padding is so thin. Hmm, I did not have it long enough to notice the straps falling off the shoulders. Long line bras have not worked for me since the extra length fabric tends to roll on me.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any long line bras, didn't think about the extra fabric rolling up. Good to know to keep that in mind. Are you a fan of Align tanks? I can't recall if you are or not. I only like wearing those without the bra inserts otherwise the cups seem to get messed up while I'm working out. Since I only wear them at home I don't mind.
DeleteI only have one Align tank in black. I have issues with the low cut and bottom rolling up. I am like you, only wear it for working out at home by myself. I will not purchase another one.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous vinyasa scarf! I’m sorry I missed that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm happy I added it to my collection. Maybe it will pop back up. You never know!
DeleteI wanted to tell you that I love your reviews and look forward to them. I refer to your reviews a lot before trying things out because we are similar sizes. It's great to see how the items fit on more petite people! Thanks for everything you do!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for dropping in and letting me know! Always appreciate comments and feedback.
DeleteYour'e making me want to try the like a cloud bra! I love how the long line version has a cross back! I think it's much cuter. I totally missed that they uploaded a diamond dye scarf and think it's so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteBoth bras are really comfortable. If you try it let me know if it works for you!
DeleteI love the Fringe Fighter Headband too! I wear it at home all the time! Thanks for the fit review on the Ready To Rulu Fleece Pullover. It's good to know that it's a size-down item. I think I may pass on it because I like my Find Your Unwind Pullover more. I remember you reviewed that one last year! I bought it after reading your review!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I like the Find Your Unwind Pullover too. I'm glad you got one.
DeleteFringe Fighters are the best!
Did you find the long line Like a Cloud rolled up your torso when you moved around or sat down?
ReplyDeleteHi there, I didn't have it long enough to see if it rolled up on me. I basically tried it on, moved around to see if I felt restricted in any way and did a forward bend. It did not roll up for any of these movements, but I didn't sit down though.
DeleteHey! Do you know if the like a cloud bra has a size dot?
ReplyDeleteHi there, sorry I do not know. I ended up returning the bra.
