I got the pink singlet tank, thinking it would be my marathon shirt. Well... it won't be... it shows sweat like crazy!! I looked like I had gone swimming after my run on Sunday. Now to be fair it's very comfy, and it fits nicely. I'll still wear it. But for race photos, it just won't do. My other silverescent top isn't like that- it's a thicker fabric or something (a sunrise t-shirt- discontinued for some reason, even though it's the best shirt ever 
)

Also, the TaTaTamer bra is amazing for keeping your girls in place on the run. The trick is finding the perfect size because it is so supportive that if you get one too small, it will hurt and too big, it will not provide the support and will probably chafe.
As for the rise of the shorts and pants, there are a few styles that are a bit more modest. The Still short/crop/pant are a pretty high rise, with the option of folding the waistband down if you prefer the lower fit. The Relaxed fit crops and Extend crops also have higher waistlines. We used to have the Puma Run shorts which had a much wider waistband which could be worn a bit higher as well.
Not enough support up top, on the bouncy chest part above the boobs.bgroot wrote:I'll have to investigate the empire seaming a little bit more and then send in that feedback.

I get not wanting to show sweat in work clothes but in workout gear? Meh...

Bite your tongue. We are finally experiencing summer here. I'll happily wear shorts until January.

Ha ha... yeah La said it well. In general I don't mind. In my first BQ marathon finish line pic though, I don't want to look nasty.
It is super comfy though.
I do wish Lulu would bring back the Sunrise tech shirt, though. It is the BEST. The BEST.

You live pretty far away, my friend, and haven't seen how much I sweat. It's gross. But thanks!a-slow-5 wrote:
One other comment: I am more and more turned off of Lululemon when I see it worn by 12-yr-olds that have no idea and/or appreciation of what it's meant for and or it's cost (evident when you see them wearing too long yoga pants that have dragged on the ground enough to fray them badly).
I shouldn't blame the label for this, but I am generally so not a name-brander that I just can't help but want to boycott it on principle.

I live 2.5 hours away from the nearest Lulu so when I get a chance to go it's very exciting. Today, was that chance! All I wanted was a new running bra and a long sleeved top (okay - so that doesn't really justify the "all" part...anyway). I arrive at the store which is packed with teenagers. I cannot find a staff person on the floor anywhere that isn't chatting up her friends (or so it seems). I find, on my own, ONE long sleeved top in size 8. I'm a 4. So, finally, I ask the clerk who is folding pants in the back, where the rest of the long sleeved shirts are?
"Ummmm, like...we have some, like in boxes? In, like, the back? But, like they're not open yet? You should like totally come back tomorrow."
Yeah, okay, I tell her I'm from out of town and was really hoping to get a shirt today as it's my only chance to shop in her store (hoping she'd offer to go look in "the boxes"). Her response? "Yeah, well..."
So, I say, being a bit more direct...I guess I should go next door to the Running Room?
Her response, "Good luck okay?!"
So, I was ready to pay $70 for a shirt and $60 for a bra, if only someone would help me. But no. Guess that was too much to ask.
So i went next door and bought both items, and some gels, at the RR. The staff there were helpful. They deserved my money today.
Moral of the story? Lulu just went down a BIG step in my list of destinations for shopping.

Like, totally! And be sure to write it exactly like this:"Ummmm, like...we have some, like in boxes? In, like, the back? But, like they're not open yet? You should like totally come back tomorrow."
