I asked the saleslady what styles might work for me. She took me to the full support section and pulled a cute top in a size 8. I asked her if they had anything bigger and she said they don't offer support tanks higher than 12 but they did have some size 14 plain tank tops and that I could wear a sports bra underneath. I asked "Do you have sports bra's in my size then?" She replied "Um, no sorry we don't really carry any plus sizes." At this point I feel discouraged thinking "damn, I'm too fat to even wear yoga clothes let alone think I can be a yogi." Shockingly enough I was willing to spend $52 a tank top and everyone who knows me knows how cheap I am!
I ended up trying Modells, lady foot locker and even Macy's. Nothing. I settled on some Old Navy wear. It says it's made for yoga specifically and are actually comfortable, cotton and breathable. I will try them tonight at class and report later.
lululemon DOES, in fact, sell full-support tanks and bras in larger sizes...your educator was apparently mistaken. also, cotton is inherently not moisture-wicking, which means no cotton yoga gear can wick your sweat away, although it is breathable. two very different things. i hope you try another lululemon or check out the website because they do have a lot to offer, despite your one experience.
ReplyDeleteHI Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteI did check the website and the largest size available is size 12 in the support tanks and the bras are a 36. I understand about pure cotton not wicking and I loved the fabrics lululemon had but since none of it fits me (yet) I still stick by my personal experience with the store (and now online).
