Fit Review! Store Try On Scuba Oversized Hoodie Velvet Cord and Scuba Mid Rise Wide Leg Crop Velvet Cord
Hope you all had a great weekend! I went to Lululemon to see if they had the Velvet Cord items since my order was lost. They did have the Velvet Cord crop and matching hoodie in stock, so I did a quick try-on.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
Let me just preface this review by saying the matching set really does not look good together. I felt like I was wearing a Halloween costume, it was just too much corduroy. 😆 I think you're better off wearing the pieces separately. Now that we have that out of the way, the Velvet Cord is thick and heavy weight. It's also very soft and comfortable.
I'm wearing size XS/S in the hoodie and it fits oversized as expected. The sleeves are very wrinkly and too long but the body length actually works and hits at my hip. Riverstone is a pretty neutral that didn't wash me out.
The store didn't have a size 4 but they did have a size 6. The size 6 is a little bit loose in the waist for me but I did like that it's mid-rise. The length is 26 inches according to the website and I am loving the wide leg. It reminds me of the JNCO's I used to have back in the 90s! 😂
Did you have JNCO's that covered your entire foot like this?! I thought it looked so cute back in the day. Good times. I did end up ordering these last week, let's see if it makes it to my house the second time around. I also ordered the Espresso color since I wasn't sure if I would prefer the velvet corduroy in a darker color. As of right now, I'm still undecided on how I feel about the look. What do you all think of velvet corduroy look? I am hoping I can wear these to the office since they're so comfortable.
I also saw these two new belt bags at the store. I actually really like the Everywhere Belt Bag 2L in Wunder Puff. The size was great and didn't look huge for some reason. Maybe because it's puffy. 😅 The Everywhere Belt Bag Quilted Velour felt SO soft! The store only had black in stock. I might have caved if they had it in Wine Berry. Both of these belt bags cost $68, which is a little pricey, but they are seasonal and limited edition pieces. I might consider if they end up hitting WMTM.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a fantastic Monday!

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThe Scuba Mid Rise Wide Leg Crop Velvet Cord looks cute on you and I believe it will fit much better in size 4. Wish the length worked for me. Sigh.
I'm not a corduroy person but kind of like the Velvet Cord which is substantial and soft. Too bad the Scuba Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Pant 7/8 Length Velvet Cord is an inch too short for me. :( No luck with Velvet Cord bottoms so far!
The Scuba Oversized Hoodie Velvet Cord is cute on you but the sleeves are way too long. Body length is perfect though. My friend got the Scuba Track Jacket Velvet Cord in Expresso and loves it.
I'm so disappointed with this year's LLL holiday uploads and miss the days when we had lots of luxurious and sparkly items. My wallet is safe though LOL.

Hi Andrea! I was surprised at how soft it felt. I'm hoping I like it better in the Espresso. I think Riverstone might be too light for me to wear to the office.
DeleteAgree, where are the sparkly items? There's only a week left before Christmas so I don't think there will be anymore, but maybe? It's been an underwhelming shopping season for me so far! But yes my wallet isn't complaining.. nope, just us!
Andrea, when you say the crops are too short for you, do you mean they’re not full length on you? Do they fit you like crops?
DeleteCindy
Hi Cindy,
DeleteI haven’t tried on the crops but if size 6 is full length on Leslie, size 2 will definitely be too short on my 5’3” frame. :(
I did try on the Scuba Mid-Rise Straight Leg Pant 7/8 Velvet Cord in size 2 and the length hit above my ankle. If the leg is tapered like OTF, the length might work. With a straight leg, however, I would prefer it to hit below my ankle. Just my personal preference though.
Hope it helps!
Andrea
Hi Cindy,
DeleteTo clarify, I was hoping that the crops can be worn as pants (like Leslie did) so I commented that it would be too short on me. I believe size 2 would be ankle length for me.
Andrea
Oh I see. So they would fit you the way they are meant to fit. ie. not full length but you would prefer them to fit full length. So what about trying full length pants. Like if they had these crops in full length you would probably be able to wear them full length. Thanks for replying. I'm just curious.

Hi Cindy,
DeleteThe crops look like crops on the models but I will take to take at least a couple inches off to make them look like crops on me lol.
Not much luck with full length LLL pants but the Adapted State High-Rise Fleece Jogger Full Length actually works after I’ve sized down to 0.
Andrea
I was wondering about that Scuba Hoodie in the velvet cord. I think I like that fabric better as a top than pants. Too bad the sleeves are crazy long, though.
ReplyDeleteI ended up returning my crops. I did love the comfort of the fabric, but I couldn't justify the price for how much I was going to wear them. Alas, my hunt for something in Riverstone continues, lol!
And I agree with you and Andrea: the holiday uploads this year have been pretty disappointing. On a brighter note, I haven't spent very much money on Lulu over the last few months, so I have no buyer's guilt!
Hi Lola! I am also in the same boat. I want something in Riverstone! I was considering the Loungeful hoodie but it sold out. I'm hoping to catch a restock.
DeleteI think I spent less this year on Lulu and Athleta. I'll run the numbers and will post a report in January. I'm also going to post my best of purchases from 2023 soon! I already have a list drawn up.
I want something in purple ash

I was at my local Lululemon in San Francisco and the quilted belt bag that you posted is on sale, $38 in both black and wine. Yeseterday I took a peek online and they were also available
ReplyDeleteHi Jean L! The black is on sale online, but the wine is not. If the wine does hit WMTM I will probably get it.
