Now Im a 6 in Aligns and an 8 or 10 in bras and tanks.
The Align shorts just dont fit the same anymore even when theyre not double lined.
They had to have changed the fabric or something.

This is relieving to read.

I find the sizing discrepancies right now are major between different legging models, she says.
A 6 in Align could be a 14 in another legging.
The disparity makes me feel frustratedits much harder to shop at Lululemon now than it was before the pandemic.

Lululemon is ahiton TikTok.
The teens want the athleisure, and they want it bad.
So, is it true?
If thats the case, there might be a totally unintended impact on its older customers.
Wilson stepped down as chairman of the board in 2013 and fully resigned from it in 2015.)
But in 2019, Lululemonannouncedit was shuttering Ivivva, the kids sportswear brand it launched in 2009.
So, what do the facts say?
As I reported this story, the SELF staff attempted to do a little detective work.
How has it adapted its products to fit a growing teen customer base?
Has anything else changed about its garments?
Will this knowledge comfort customers who might remain convinced that something about their Lulu clothes is different?
This reporter has a confession to make: Before writing this article, I had never shopped at Lululemon.
I recently took a trip to a nearby Lululemon location for work.
