For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.
I'm wearing my usual size 4 and it is true to size. The waist sits underneath my belly button. The length measures 12.5 inches long which hits my mid upper thigh. I think the regular version is flattering and looks very clean and sharp.
This skirt has a liner with pockets on the side. I should have taken a photo from the side to show this, but I forgot. Sorry! The liner fits perfectly, because of the liner I would not size down even though the waist sits low.
The Tall version measures 14.25 inches long. Not only is there almost 2 inches of extra length, there's also extra volume to the skirt. Apologies for this one being super wrinkled, it came that way in the mail. Since I'm returning, I didn't want to iron or steam in case I messed them up somehow. The waist is the same size as the regular version.
While the longer length does provide more coverage, I don't think it's as flattering as the regular version, at least on me. The extra fabric in the back of the skirt doesn't drape as nice, but could also be because it's super wrinkly.
I laid the regular version of the skirt on top of the tall version to see the difference. It's really not much when you look at it this way. Honestly either one is fine. It boils down to what you're more comfortable with!
Front- Regular on top, Tall on the bottom.

Let me know what you think! As always have a great weekend!

That skirt is super cute on you! I agree I prefer the regular length on you. I can't wait for the Court Rival skirt to restock for summer. I really want to try it. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was surprised to find the tall length isn't really that much longer. Very interesting to me that both versions work for us.
DeleteI also prefer the Navy much better! It’s super cute on you! I’m thinking a Navy Tall might not look bad cos white makes the skirt looks like it’s one size bigger!
ReplyDeleteYes I was thinking that too, white tends to make everything look bigger and poofier. Definitely something to take into account!
DeleteI agree that the Navy looks really cute on you! I only have one pair of Lulu shorts in white. It is always poofy and wrinkled. It turns out that it is a different material. If you look up Material on the website, white is made of mostly nylon while other colors are mostly polyester. I am a chemist :).
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I'll have to check the tags later and see if that is noted!
Deletehi Leslie, Happy Friday! I agree with everyone! The navy in regular length looks perfect on you! I love it! Now I'm tempted to give the regular length a try again!
ReplyDeleteIf you do try the regular length, let me know if you've changed your mind. =)
DeleteThanks for the comparison! I wear the Lulu skirts for golf and have always wondered about the tall if i see one on sale. Now i know that although i prefer the regular length on my i can still get away with the tall if it's on sale!
ReplyDeleteYep, I was surprised to see there wasn't much difference in the lengths. I definitely expected a 3 inch or more!
DeleteThanks for doing this review request! Agreed, the regular length just seems “right” on you. The tall does look a little odd, and not as flattering. I’ve been look for a skirt for golf so this is so helpful! I’d be interested in seeing more skirt reviews and comparisons in the future!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely try to review more skirts in the future! I'm not usually a skirt wearer, but it never hurts to try something new. =)
DeleteThanks for the comparison! I think the Navy is a lovely color for skirts! Would you feel comfortable wearing the regular length as streetwear?
ReplyDeleteYeah I can see myself wearing something like that for streetwear, especially since there is a liner. I wouldn't be worried about flashing anyone!
DeleteI have both 4t in black, red, camo and white... i like the black and other colors much better. The white fabric is different doesn't allow the skirt to lay flat while wearing. Wished I tried on before the 30 day window of returns. Oh well. It would be interesting to see both of the same colors on you side by side. I'm not much taller than you 5'1 but prefer the tall due to my big butt. lol
