Hi Melissa:I was wondering if you could make the go lightly pant in a 2

Comment by Kendra — May 14, 2010 @ 2:36 pm

It would be great if there were at least a few plus size options. It’s kind of unfortunate that the men’s sizes go up to XXL while the women stop at a 12 (w/ some 14s I think). I love the stuff my friends buy and while I could buy the men’s stuff, well it just doesn’t come in fun and cute colors like pink and soft yellows I’m working on getting in shape and I’d love to wear Lulu stuff at all phases of that journey.

Hi, my daughter (8 yrs old) loves LuLu and wishes you would start a kids line. I definitely think you have a market out there for a kid’s line. I’ll be the first in line!

I would love to see some women’s golf clothing…some collared golf shirts and funky golf shorts and pants.

Comment by Aleisha — May 16, 2010 @ 6:59 pm

I am a HUGE lulu fan, I own almost all your style tops in atleast two colors each. Huge fan of the groove pant. I think a great addition to the selection would be the Floresent colors? They are so hot right now, especially in NY. Also, I was in the Manhasset store in New York yesterday and their wall has changed. They have all kinds of AMAZING motivational artwork on it. You should sell those canvas motivational art pieces. Please let me know if you choose to do that.

Have you ever considered making the hoodies longer in the body length? I love these sweaters but they are too short. Please consider this**

Comment by Nikki — May 19, 2010 @ 6:02 am

Can you make more men’s options? I would love some men’s running tights, but haven’t seen any yet. Also, you need to make a smaller men’s size, I bought a pair of pants and they basically fall off, I’m 6′-1″ and 140lbs and the S is too large in the waist.

Hi! I go to Elementry school and my mom said she would get me a lululemon sweater for grading. Do you think you could make a lime green and turquoise sweater?!

Thanks

hi melissa!

just wondering – where is the “cotton fleece” from, that the famous and very loved lulu scuba hoodie is made out of? where could I find this information?

Comment by brittany — May 30, 2010 @ 1:25 pm

Thanks for your feedback everyone!

@Lucy was there a particular item that you had an issue with? If so please contact us at the Guest Education Centre so we can discuss it with you further 1.877.263.9300 option #2

@Brittany I’m not actually sure where the cotton fleece is produced, we don’t have it listed on our website. I will however, see if I can find this information somewhere else for you.

I was just wondering a have a gift card does it work at the Lululemon stores in the states?

Comment by Amanda Zedo — June 22, 2010 @ 7:36 pm

It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again – lululemon could make a huge profit by expanding the sizes in their women’s line. For those of us who are larger than a size 12, love to work out and have had a child or two, we need you to consider making larger sizes. I know there’s been some arguments that it takes more fabric, but I can tell you that I’m just one of many women who would gladly pay a premium for quality workout clothing. Do yourself a favor lululemon and expand you’re sizing for women. You’ll be pleased that you did!

Comment by L — June 26, 2010 @ 10:51 pm

Hi Jenna-
Thanks for getting back to me. I’d love to see more of the women’s tops in larger sizes. For those of us who are large busted (40F), the size 12 tops just don’t quite cut it when zipping up the women’s tops. I have a few of the men’s hoodies, but they’re not cut for a busty woman either. Given your current sizing structure, you could expand your hoodies in both width and length (length to account for larger bust). I’d love to see more size 14′s or even 16/18 if you’re going to work off of your current size chart. It’s so disappointing to start zipping up a gorgeous Lulu hoodie and have it stop right at the bust with no room to spare. I also love your Be Still crops, which I have in a size 12. I’d love to see more relaxed fit pants and shorts with the same wide waistband in the Be Still. Like I said before, women in this size range will thank you! -L

Comment by L — July 27, 2010 @ 4:16 pm

Hi,

I will say it yet again- I think that Lulu absolutely needs to expand their sizes. It would not only be profitable for the company, but it would make the women who don’t fit into that size 12 feel a lot better when working out.

Lulu should not be some “exlusive club” where only women sized 12 and under are able to partake. We want to look good while exercising too!!!

I don’t see why Lulu doesn’t already have bigger sizes. It really seems like a no-brainer.

PLEASE PLEASE make more sizes!

Comment by Lauren — September 11, 2010 @ 8:55 pm

I also came looking for some workout clothes but can’t fit into a size 12 either. You are eliminating a huge portion of the market by only catering to “perfect” looking figure skater and gymnast-type figures. I wish I was a size 2 as well, but reality is.. that’ll never happen no matter how hard I train. I’ve played contact sports my whole life and I’m bulky. I’m still not a boy and don’t want to wear drab manly boys clothes… or pay $110 for a men’s hoody that I have to completely re-alter. Almost every other clothing line out there has a size 14-16 as an XL… and 18 as XXL. What’s up with that?! I could see not wanting your clothes to be associated with a size 24, but from what I can tell, the average North American woman is a size 14? Size 14 is EXTRA EXTRA LARGE? It is so gigantic that it will take up too much room in the store and require too much more material? Really?

Comment by Kelly C — September 18, 2010 @ 12:18 pm

I, as well, will put my voice forward for larger sizes. I am a “real” 14/16 on bottom and a 16/18 on top. I did send Lululemon an email on this a year or so ago and the response was “our sizes fit large”, which they don’t. Quite the opposite – they fit small. The argument of store space being limited is also a cop out. While some Lululemon stores are small, you do have many with significant floor space. As well, you do web sales. It appears that you are more interested in being exclusive (both in size and price) instead of inclusive. Very sad.

I live in Edmonton – you have sized yourself out of half of the female market here, many of whom are huge yoga fans. How is that value for your shareholders?

Comment by Tammy K — October 20, 2010 @ 9:18 pm

I agree with the call for 14+ sizes. As a yoga teacher, I have been wearing Lululemon for a long time. The size 12 pants fit alright, and they have lasted forever, but I still hesitate to buy more at such a ridiculous price because they aren’t perfect. I am continuously having to hike them up to fit over my pelvis. This is not even a fat issue–I am not shaving down my bones to fit into this line of clothing!

Given that the pants and tops are so flattering for curvy women, I suggested to Lululemon years ago that they increase their size offerings to include average-sized women. Looks like they have actually decreased their average-sized offerings since then–and on top of that, the fun colors and vibrancy of the line are both going downhill. I will be looking elsewhere for my yoga clothing until I see a change for sure!

Comment by Sara — January 12, 2011 @ 10:17 am

Hi, i am currently losing weight to try and fit into my lulu sweater:)! i want to buy more lulu stuff, so i decided the only way i can do that is to excersize and eat right:)! My cousins and friends all fit into the hoodies etc, so now its my turn:) my mom told me we were not going to the lulu store until i lost weight…see you in the summer lulu:)!!!the zipper will zip up then:)

Comment by Melissa — January 24, 2011 @ 4:39 pm

I would gladly pay a premium price for these outfits in a size cut to fit my 5’11″, size 18-20 self. I’m tired of wearing unattractive, schlumpy clothing to the gym, or guys’ pants, etc., because those are what are long enough, regardless of the fact that they don’t appropriately fit female hips/butt, etc. Working out is much more fun if you don’t feel frumpy while you do it. If limited retail space is an issue, larger sizes could always be available as online orders.

I’ve gone into many a lululemon store and gotten warmup jackets for my boyfriend, but am always sad that I can only window shop, in terms of myself.

Comment by Jessalyn — February 10, 2011 @ 6:13 am

Hi Lulu,
Yet another voice chiming in for larger sizes. I work out at the gym five hours a week, and have for eleven years. I go almost without fail, and enjoy Zumba, hip hop, and body conditioning classes. I am fit but not small — I wear a size 16 pant. Would love to buy your clothing if you exapnd your size range. Thanks for considering!
Amber

Comment by Ambr — February 25, 2011 @ 5:00 pm

Hi there,

Great designs, but you guys need to extend your size range, even if it’s only a few items at first. A lot of plus size ladies who I talk to really want to buy lulus, but they won’t fit. Some will even buy a 14 although it’s tighter than it should be. More sizes, please! I run a blog on plus size fashion in Toronto and Canada generally. If you want more feedback or anything, just contact me. Also, could you please let me know if you guys are planning on implementing any changes regarding this? I am very curious and I hope my readers and I can shop at Lulu very soon!

Karen

Comment by Karen — March 8, 2011 @ 8:46 am

Hi there,
I agree…larger sizes, plus sizes are a must! I want these pants and jackets in particular but the largest size is an XL and that wouldn’t fit. I have also heard of numerous people wanting these items in larger sizes as well.

Comment by Mary — March 16, 2011 @ 12:50 pm

I am disappointed with the sizing also. I was looking to buy a gift for my wife who works out hard and is size 16. I wanted to reward her for her hard work but I guess I will have to look elsewhere.

Comment by John — March 22, 2011 @ 6:39 pm

I love your clothes, but after my 50th trip to a Lululemon store, I was unable to find anything in my size–16-18–and left empty-handed. The salespeople were very unhelpful and I can’t blame them–how could they possibly recommend anything to a “plus-size customer”? Is Lululemon just an exclusive club for people who look a certain way? That’s kind of the impression you’re giving, especially since the average North American woman is a size 14. You don’t even carry a size 14, sadly! (BTW, why do men’s sizes go up to XXL?). If you espouse the ideas that everyone should be active and fit, why can’t larger people wear your clothing on their way to a healthier/fitter body? In addition, I’m sure there are lots of fit and healthy women who just have a larger physique and can’t squeeze into a tiny size 12. C’mon, Lululemon! We size 12+ gals represent the average market and we’ve got money to spend, so put your money (and fabric) where your mouth is!

Can I just say to commenter John: that is really sweet of you to try to reward your wife with Lululemon–my husband would love to do the same thing. Sadly, he can’t.

Comment by Dee — March 26, 2011 @ 2:06 pm

It really is disgusting that you don’t carry plus sizes or quite frankly normal sizes. People don’t need to be a size 3 to be fit and want to work out. I am planning to head back to the gym (after a childbearing hiatus) and yes, I am overweight, Searched for plus size LULU and came accross this. Really Sad and Elitist! Not building a good reputation amongst the normal population.

Comment by bee — April 13, 2011 @ 9:43 pm

I really agree that there needs to be smaller sizes available for men, particularly in the hoodies. The small is still a bit baggy for me, and I’m 5’6 on the slimmer, built side. I would love to have a men’s hoody that was a bit more on the fitted (but not tight) side.

Comment by sdesilva — April 20, 2011 @ 10:11 pm

The size of your average woman is no longer a 2 or 4. Please consider expanding your sizes and get the message out to all women that you can exercise, and look good at any size. Expand your size range PLEASE

Comment by Vinessa — May 4, 2011 @ 5:35 pm

i don’t really understand what the space in your stores has to do with not being able to carry larger sizes. why don’t you just cut back on the smaller sizes in some of the stores? how come there’s only room for the smaller end of the size spectrum? i’m a size 12 in your pants and i find it very difficult to find things in stock. i don’t want to have to sqeeze myself into a size 10 in order to buy your product.

Comment by serena — May 31, 2011 @ 6:54 pm

I don’t know why people are bothering to complain about the lack of sizing here. Speak with your money, people. Athleta, Champion, Nike, and more all have larger sizes. I’m not going to beg someone to carry a size to fit me, I’m going to spend my money where they recognize that people of all sizes should get to wear cute workout clothes. I, along with many people who wear size 14+, will spend good money just to find cute clothes, and I’m totally ok not spending it with a company who can’t see that they’re cutting out a HUGE market by not going past a size 12. (But an XXL for men? Really? Because it’s ok for men to be bigger, but not women?)

Comment by Lindsey — July 3, 2011 @ 8:41 am

My comment got deleted, probably because Lulu didn’t like what I had to say:

I love my Lululemon clothing, but the “lack of space” excuse to carry larger sizes is exactly that: AN EXCUSE. I’ve been into stores in 4 states and 2 countries and every single store I’ve been in has a sitting area with multiple stuffed chairs, large fitting room areas with an alterations space and large folding tables.

Lululemon is just refusing to acknowledge that the average woman is a size 12+, and therefore limiting their fan base and profits.

Comment by L — September 4, 2011 @ 9:22 am

I absolutely love yoga pants and like every comment on here lulu do not fit. You think that if you had all this feedback maybe you consider making plus sizes and if you say you dont have the retail space at least make it available online to us. You would make a killing on bigger sized clothing, I just think its a image issue your company has.

Comment by Tiffany — October 17, 2011 @ 1:32 pm

Does lulu sell garment bags? Some of the shirts are delicate and get holes easily in the wash, adding a garment bag at the till is something I would purchase.

Comment by Heather — November 6, 2011 @ 12:12 pm

Hi I would like to add with the women above about the size issues. I fit perfectly in to the size 12 tops ( I have a larger bust ) but I find it very irritating that I can never find anything in my size. I find a shirt I like in the store and they are always sold out of size 10 and 12.. The girls that work there say well you can order it online but it’s sold out there to. Every time I shop there there are 100 of them in size 6 just waiting for no one to buy them but size 10 and 12 or picked over.. If you are only going to make them up to a size 12 can you atleast make enough for the women who want to buy them. If I could find my size in the shirts and hoodies I would spend $500 every time I went in your store but I can’t so I dont. It seems to me you are missing the very basic point of business which is supply and demand.

Comment by Laura — December 22, 2011 @ 10:50 pm

Hey Jacalyn,
Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. That’s great feedback for us hearing that you find your size is regularly sold out. I’ll be sure to pass on your feedback about wanting a ‘back in stock’ notification email and to have the size range increased.

In regards to the dance wear, these items were part of a unique dance capsule our designers released only for that specific season. From time to time our designers like to release a unique capsule which focuses on an area other than run and yoga. It’s possible we will see another dance capsule in future, so keep your eyes out for it.

Comment by GEC Online — January 11, 2012 @ 10:39 am

Being a teenager, and 6’1 and a half, I can NEVER find clothes long enough, ever. So, I LOVE that you guys have workout pants in size tall. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make the Wunder Under pants in size tall, I would love it. I can never find leggings long enough, so if I have lululemon (a very popular brand at my school. Good for you ) pants, that look amazing, and are better than leggings, but with the look of them, I’d wear them everyday. And if you could also consider making longer versions of your hoodies (Scuba hoodie, anyone? <3)for the actual length of the sweater, and the arm length, then it would be absolutely fantastic. Please? (:

Comment by Janet — January 16, 2012 @ 4:42 pm

Why do your sizes only go to a 12/14?? I find that highly unacceptable as most women these days are heavier. Clearly the Lululemon brand is discriminating against larger women. I am a plus size woman who loves yoga and works out 5 days a week. Id love to wear lululemon but cant because the clothes dont fit and when a plus sized person walks into a store the staff stare them down.

MAKE SOME CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Megan — March 18, 2012 @ 10:57 pm

Hi there,
The plus-size clothing market is quite a lucrative one to branch into. If you enter a plus size clothing store such a Penningtons or AdditonElle you can find clothing sized X-4X being sold for twice (or triple) the price of clothing of similar quality in ‘regular’ sizes.
Bearing this in mind it would seem that Lululemon would make a CONSIDERABLE amount of money if they developed a plus sized line.
Is store space a problem? Launch a new store catered specifically to plus sized gals or make the line available online or for special order. Lululemon could probably get away with charging more for these plus sized products and plus-sized consumers would gladly pay the price for the privilege of owning a quality brand name product that FITS. It is a sad but realistic marketing truth.
I am obviously a ‘plus-sized’ person and find it interesting that your company caters to larger men but will not cater to larger women and cite ’boutique store sized and style’ as an issue. Despite the many, many comments here begging for larger sizes I believe that the real test will be when these women pay for yoga and workout wear elsewhere.
Good luck, Lululemon. You have a beautiful brand that exists on word of mouth and brand-value – make sure you value those who consume and love your product (regardless of size!!!).

Comment by Kim — March 20, 2012 @ 4:11 pm

Hi there,
Me again! I just did some more research on Lululemon and the plus-sized debate and found this enlightening article from the Calgary Herald from 2005 that explains Chip Wilson’s stance on the plus-sized gal:
‘”Lululemon founder and CEO Chip Wilson says it takes 30 per cent more fabric to put together larger sizes. That stretchy fabric doesn’t come cheap, and he believes women looking for those larger sizes aren’t willing to shell out the extra money.

“It’s a money loser, for sure,” he says. “I understand their plight, but it’s tough.”

If Wilson charged more for plus-size clothes to recoup costs, he’s sure he would be taken to the human rights commission. Plus-size people, he says, are very sensitive.’
http://bodacious1.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=CalgaryHerald&action=display&thread=36

This, of course, doesn’t explain why Lululemon carries mens’ clothing in plus sizes and still seems to be making a profit AND still manages to make room for them in the cool boutique stores.

This is from 2005, however, and Mr. Wilson is no longer CEO. Also, since 2004 Lululemon has been sourcing out the production of products to places such as United States, China, Israel, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Peru, and Indonesia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lululemon_Athletica
With such outsourcing saving the company money you’d imagine that the extra 30% of fabric wouldn’t seem so expensive anymore.

Anyway, that article from the Calgary Sun gives links to other stores that carry quality yoga/workout wear for women up to size 24. Let’s get skinny using those clothes, ladies! Then we can shop at Lulu!!

Comment by Kim — March 23, 2012 @ 11:02 am

I am yet another person requesting larger sizes. I see the responses to the request. “I will forward to design team”. But I also see these comments date back 2 years. How long is it going to take? If you are not going to do it, just be honest!!!! I am a size 14 flirting down to a 12. I started working out heavily 2 months ago and have lost 30lbs. I am still losing and hopefully will be able to wear more lulu stuff in the future. I am currently able to wear a size 12 groove pant. I currently workout 7days a week sometimes twice a day. Thats a lot of workout clothes I need which would be a lot of revenue for you! I have been thinking of buying some stock in this company, if larger sizes were introduced it would be a no brainier!

Comment by Ashleigh — May 19, 2012 @ 6:18 am

Like many other posts, I would like to see an expanded size option. I wear a 10/12 pant and a 12/14 top (darn boobs). I am self-conscious about my weight right now and so something super tight is not going to make me feel better. But I also don’t want to wear a tent. A nice fitted jacket, tank, T etc. would be great to be form-fitting without exposing EVERY bulge. Thanks for any consideration. I now you want a certain image and at 47 I probably am not it. But you are missing a huge percent of the population who has money to spend on good clothes.

Comment by Trish — September 17, 2012 @ 10:21 am

I really think plus sizing would be great. I buy tons of nike in plus sizes, but want more stylish options. There are a lot of full figured girls who are working their tails off (literally ) to get more fit, and want to wear fashion forward workout wear like lulu. I would be the first to purchase–so let me know if you end up adding a few plus size options.

Comment by Elizabeth — January 5, 2013 @ 9:08 am

I have been following the blog posts that date back many years regarding larger sizes and have seen lulu’s stock answer posted over and over again. Although we keep asking, lulu is nt answering. I am surprised no one has posted links to other companies that we can get larger sized (and nice!) workout gear….has anyone found some great sites to help the rest of s out?
