Fit Review Friday! Athleta Member's Event Haul! With Ease Tee, Seasoft Crewneck Sweatshirt, Transcend Stash Straight Leg Pant
Happy Friday! My Athleta haul is slowly trickling in. Here's part one and I think there might be another two blog posts to get through the entire haul.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS or XXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
With Ease Tee Bright White Size XXS
I received a fit request for the With Ease Tee and I am wearing size XXS. It's still slightly big but I think this is how it should look. It's a relaxed fit with a shorter length in the front and a cute drape in the back. It is a longer tee with complete coverage on my petite frame. The fabric is on the thin side and sheer in the white color. It's very soft and comfortable. That said, I do not recommend this at the retail price ($59), since it's a fairly thin tee. I would wait for a discount code or sale price.
As you all know, I'm obsessed with Lululemon's Softstreme and love Athleta's Seasoft version. This pullover is lightweight and buttery soft. Seasoft is thinner than Softstreme, but I personally prefer it to be thinner and not as heavy, especially since we're heading into the warmer months. It's cool to the touch and very comfortable. I went with Abalone Gray and it's one of my favorite colors from Athleta. It's the perfect neutral. This will definitely be one of my favorite tops to reach for on my work from home days. Sleeves are a little long and there are no thumbholes. I'm wearing size XS and the fit is relaxed. If you would like this to be more fitted, sizing down could be an option. This top is also available in Coastline Blue - a cool blue gray, which I wouldn't mind adding to my wardrobe.
Slightly curved hem in the front and the back as well.
The back length offers full coverage on petite frame. Overall, I'm pleased with this pullover and happy to have added this to my closet. Last but not least we have the Transcend Stash Straight Leg Pant in Bali Green. When I placed this order, I forgot the Transcend line tends to run small. I should have ordered this in a size up.
Waist is too small, it feels and looks pinched. Sits at belly button.
The Transcend line fabric is Vitafree which feels like a thinner version of Lululemon's Nulu. The waistband is very similar to the Align style. Super comfortable and lightweight with a barely there feel. I'm wearing size PXS and the waist is too small on me. It's also pretty tight in the hip area and can see some panty lines. The length measures 25" but it feels shorter than that. I like the side ankle slit detail. Here's a photo of my Align Crop Size 4 and the Transcend Stash Pant on top in size PXS. It's cut smaller in the waist and more narrow in the hip.
It looks fine, but trust me I'm sucking it in here!
Also wearing On Cloud Tide Running Shoes
That's all I have today. Did you get anything from the Athleta sale? I'll have part two up for Monday! Have a great weekend!

Thank you for another great fit review! I like all of the pieces you got! I ended up ordering the With Ease Tank during the sale. Hopefully it is as cute as the short sleeve. And I laughed at your "sucking it in" comment about the Transcend Pants :)
ReplyDeleteThe Triumph Hybrid Wide Crop I had previously ordered arrived, and I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep them. They feel lovely on, but I think they run big - the legs are cut REALLY wide, but the waist is good. Now that the sale is over I'm not keen on ordering a smaller size at regular price. First-world problems, lol.
I'm looking forward to your Athleta review- part 2! Have a great weekend!
Hi Lola! I looked at the Triumph Hybrid Wide Crop and didn't think I could pull it off because of the wide leg. It's even harder when it's a crop because it would fall at a weird length and probably make me look even shorter. Personally, if it's a wide leg, I would prefer a longer length.
DeleteOh my, where to start! I ordered so much from the member event. I didn't order the Transcend pant or Seasoft Sweatshirt but after seeing them on you, now I may have to order those!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on not wanting things too tight or uncomfortable so I also had to go back and forth with different sizes. I ended up keeping the Fairway pant (I'll use them for golf) in a 2P. My normal 0P was too tight in the waist. I sent back the endless pant in a 0P and the new Retreat Linen Jogger in a 0P, both too huge! I also keep the Advantage Polo Top (with quarter zip) and Advantage Polo tank, both in an XS.
I sent back the momentum sport length tank and tee in an XS, I liked the short length but both fit me weirdly. I have other older momentum tops in XS that fit fine. Sizes in that top seem to have changed. I kept the Ultimate Muscle Tank in an XXS. Great fit, comfortable, cool for hot weather and a nice short length.
Can' wait to see what else you ordered!
Oops, meant to add my name, the above comment with the huge order was from me!
DeleteHi Diane! I highly recommend both the Seasoft Sweatshirt and the Transcent Pant. I tried the Stella Wide Leg Crop in 0P and it's SOOOOO tight, I definitely need at 2P at least in that style. I also ordered the Endless Pant in 0P and found it to be pretty comfortable but I haven't decided yet if I will keep it. Sounds like you had a pretty good haul yourself! =D
DeleteI think I may have 2 more posts to finish up the haul. It's a lot!
hi Leslie! Thanks for the fit review! The Seasoft Crewneck Sweatshirt looks comfortable! I will add it to my wish list! The Transcend Stash Straight Leg Pant looks petite friendly. I wish the back seam was curved like the Elation Flare Pant though. I think curved back seams just look more flattering. Let us know how size SP works out for you! If it's is a smidge longer than XSP, it'll be the perfect length on you! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Yes, I agree, wish the back seam on the Transcent Pant was curved, but they're so comfortable I'm willing to overlook it. The Petite Small arrived today and it's PERFECT. The length is also a little bit longer too. I'll have it up for Monday's review. I have it in black coming too, but it's on back order until end of the month.
Deletehi Leslie! That's great that size SP is a little longer. I think the XSP is ~0.5-1" too short to be full length on you, so SP may be just perfect!
DeleteThose pants are very flattering on you when they’re tight lol. Glad to see they’re petite friendly as some pants are still too long for me in petite
ReplyDeleteCindy
Love the detail on the back of that tee
DeleteLeslie. Do you happen to have the wayfarer bombing coming from your haul? It’s soooo cute. Can I request a review? And also a review for the at ease tank. It seems to fit smaller than the tee on the models.
ReplyDelete*bomber I meant. Sorry. And it’s Cindy.
DeleteHi Cindy, I do not, but I'll add both to my next order. The tank does seem very small, I would probably size up for a looser fit. Thanks for the suggestions!
DeleteI have the Seasoft Wide Leg pants and love them -- Seasoft doesnt get the strange, unknown stains that I get with Softstreme. I got the Cosmic Kick Flare pant and love them. They are TTS, bordering on the slightly big. :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I have the Seasoft Cropped Pant and love those. Wish they would release more colors because the Wide Leg is too long for me. I haven't tried the Cosmic Kick Flare Pant, glad you like them!
DeleteDo you mean the seasoft cropped straight leg pants? They look like wide leg on me though. .... Cindy
DeleteThey're a little wide, but not super wide like the styles out now. I have a fit review of them here. I wear them all the time!
