Happy Friday! First week of January is over, and what a week it was. I've got a couple of new items for review. One of them is by request. Hope you enjoy reading and let me know what you think!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
Diamond Dye Graphite Gray Size 6
I'm normally a size 4 in tanks but for the Cool Racerback I like to size up to a 6 because of how fitted it is. The fabric is the buttery Nulu which I personally love. I've never tried the race length before in any of Lululemon's tops and I am loving it! Normally the CRB is super long on me. If you're interested to see the difference in length, I have a review of the regular CRB here. It is really long on me.
I think it's the perfect length. The length measures 19 inches from the top to bottom. Definitely a keeper and I think if you're petite, give it a try! Price is a somewhat reasonable at $48. I wish I had snagged this on sale like some of you.
Next up we have the Ready To Rulu 7/8 Jogger which was requested. They're currently out of stock. I managed to snag one- likely a return one early morning when I was randomly checking the app. I ordered my regular size 4.
Ready To Rulu 7/8 Jogger Graphite Gray Size 4
(Currently Out of Stock)
Let's go over some numbers first. These are high-rise and the rise measures about 9.5 inches. The inseam on the size 4 measures 27.5 inches. The cuff at the ankle measures 4.75 inches across. The fabric is Rulu and it feels very soft. It also has a brushed feel. These are mid weight joggers and perfect for fall/winter temperatures. There's a drawstring at the waist to get the perfect fit. I would say these are true to size.
The length is actually okay, which is surprising. I would say these are petite friendly, I just wish the leg was a little more tapered towards the ankle. The extra fabric above the cuff could possibly be taken in if you find a good tailor. I ended up sending these back though. I definitely prefer the fit of my Vuori joggers.
Also wearing Rothy's Lace Up in Golden Metallic Size 5
(I have a review of these coming up soon.)
That's it for me! Hope everyone has a great weekend. 😊

Happy Friday! I was super curious about the RTR 7/8 but too bad the ankles are loose! My Scuba joggers are loose at the ankles too and bunches up but I still like them. Definitely would be so much more flattering in petite sizing. I think diamond dye is so pretty! Now that I've gotten a few colored DD pieces on sale I wish I got the graphite gray diamond dye too
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of diamond dye. I have I think 4 pieces in different color ways. Maybe 2021 Lulu will bring on Asia fit to the US!
DeleteThank you for the fit review! The R2R 7/8 has potential. Is it as think as the Scuba Jogger? I have the Scuba Jogger, which is a bit long but perfect for the New England winter and I live in it. The CRB racer length fits beautifully on you. I have to wait for a markdown. The Rothy's Lace Up sneakers look so cool. I can't wait for your review, but my wallet says no rush lol.
ReplyDeleteThe joggers definitely has potential. I would say the Scuba is probably cozier just because it has the fleece lining.
DeleteI was surprised at how much I like the Rothy's Lace Ups and surprisingly comfy!
Thank you for the fit review. Are those the full length R2R? Do you remember I asked if you about another style of jogger but now i can't seem to find them on the website. they kinda looked ruched on the sides of the bottoms. maybe they sold out??
ReplyDeleteoops sorry, it said in your heading 7/8! sorry i missed that
ReplyDeleteYes I have the Beyond The Studio 7/8 Jogger in my cart! I haven't placed an order yet. But will soon.
DeleteThe top part of the jogger fits beautifully but sadly the bottom is a tad wide and the cuff too loose. Would’ve been perfect if the shape tapers towards the cuff.
ReplyDeleteI love Diamond Dye Prints and have three pairs of bottoms in different color combo. The Cool Racerback Tank in racer length looks amazing on you and the length is perfect! I do yoga and prefer the length to be longer, but the original Cool Racerback is a bit too long for my liking. :(
Yes, I'm always disappointed with Lulu joggers. They never work out for me.
DeleteLove the CRB, now I know to aim for the race length. The original is too long on me too. Maybe have them hemmed?
hi Leslie! The Racelength CRB looks great on you! I agree that the Vuori joggers fit you better than the RTR 7/8. Oh, by the way, I read on reddit today that the chambray RTR 7/8 has a tighter cuff than the graphite grey. The cuff of the chambray pair is similar to full-length RTR. Here's the post:

I don't think chambray will work for me, but perhaps others are interested! Have a great weekend!
Thanks Karen for the link! Good to know about the Chambray. I will probably just stick to my Vuori joggers though, they have a nice blue that looks a little like chambray as well.

wow! So many colour options in the US! In Canada, I've only seen black, camo and grey. That's probably good for my wallet though =)
DeleteSometimes when there's too many color choices, I just can't decide!
