Hey Ashely,
Thanks for the question. Our Sparkle Scuba Hoodies and Cuddle Up Jackets were part of our Winter line for the holiday season, so I’m not sure we will see more anytime soon. If you are in Canada, we have some of them still available online here:

Thanks again and I will be sure to let our designers know you hope to see similar items released again soon,

When/where can I get the Lulu gear that’s sparkley? There were only a few large sizes left at your stores. I need to get my hands on them in every colour! Please let me know.

Thanks!

I’m jumping on the “Petite” bandwagon. I see a few responses from Lulu reps saying they would address the lack of selection for us shorter gals, but when???? While the free hemming is wonderful “petite” is not JUST about shorter lengths, it’s about the PROPORTION of the garment. I’ve hemmed workout pants in the past, and they totally loose the silhouette I liked in the first place. My “hemmed” pants just make me look like a tree trunk from waist to toes… Please Lulu… consider us petite consumers as well… clearly there are a LOT of us.

I think I have sadly given up on wearing any Lululemon. I am a true petite and find the tops are for long torsos and the bottoms are not proportioned either. It is not a simple question of hemming. The curves of the clothing do not hit my curves in the right spot. Your stores have racks and racks of the same sizes fitting those same sized mannequins. Can’t you make one line for shorter women?

I am also requesting petite sizing. I generally order clothing and other items online only because I do not have the time to run to the store and buy it. (I even live in mid-town Toronto). Even though the hemming is free, it takes time for me to go the store, get it measured, and then return to the store. I love your tops so I do this, but it would save me much time.

I didn’t know Lululemon existed a few years ago…it only seemed to catch on in the more recent years so by the time I started shopping there (2008 or so) they were gone. I think, LLL in general just didn’t have as much sales back then, not so much petite women aren’t rushing out to buy the pants! And yeah, I will have to start looking into the AERIE line (last I checked, they had Petite) for those good work out pants. Although I feel Lulu pants will last longer in the wash, something that was originally cut for my body shape vs. something hemmed will fit better. Please, everyone that wants shorter length pants, let Lulu know until they give us what we want!! (And empty our wallets, lol.)

I think it would be nice if Lululemon offered more diverse sizes for women. This would include petite sizing as well as size 14. They offer larger sizes for men (XXL) so why not women? The excuse I have been given is that the company’s stores are too small to offer above a size 12. What a joke. To all the female customers who Lululemon is excluding with their sizing: Take your dollars and your loyalty to Athleta, a company that understands female athletes come in all shapes and sizes; petite, tall, plus size, etc.

lululemon offered petite/short lengths a few years ago and discontinued them, it seems like there is demand so not sure why it was discontinued. i have a few pairs but am long overdue for a new pair, i’ve started shopping at places in the USA that offer them, but would rather buy at lululemon

31″ inseam is way, way too long for petite women. Lulu Lemon is suppose to be a so called “women’s” athletic wear company, yet they are the only athletic wear company that doesn’t manufacture a petite or short length. What a joke they are in the women’s sector. My income will keep going to their competitors–the one’s who bother to make pants in my length.

Thank you for the info but must pass on that I have been very disappointed in your inventory for the past several months. I religiously check the new upload every Thursday as soon as I come back from work as it is not ready when I leave and every week items I would love to purchase are gone by the afternoon. I am getting ready for a big fitness event at the end of the month and have been watching for new perfect outfit, color, fit…have to be ready for pictures. No luck as many cute stylish items have come up but either sold out in size or color for weeks. As a result I have picked out new outfit with Athleta. Try getting a better grasp of your inventory or you will miss out on more sales.

Also putting in my feedback for the petite lengths. Even stores such as American Eagle has had them for the longest time for their jeans, and now they include their sweatpants/workout pants. The thing is, if you hem a lot of Lulu pants, you might end up cutting out a zipper or drawstring, and sometimes the logo on the side of the leg (if there is one) ends up being shifted really down and just looks weird. =S Personally, I love Banana Republic (not for these kind of athletic gear obviously) for their Petite line because they understand petite is not simply shortening one measurement, but fixing everything else in proportion as well. For example, slightly flared pants on a shorter person might end up looking ridiculously flared. -_- These are the reasons why I’ve only purchased tops and shorts from Lulu, but no pants yet.

Another petite exerciser here! I go to great lengths (no pun intended!) to find the ultimate petite workout pants and will spend some $$$ on them if they are just right for me. I just ordered my first lululemon’s and luckily work near a store in NYC so I will take them there to get hemmed, but there’s always the worry that the drape and bootcut portion just won’t be right once the fabric is cut. It’s so much better when we can try and buy. SO I give my vote, too, for petites!

would LOVE the idea of being able to order pants or capris from the on line store with the option to put in the length wanted. I know custom hemming is offered in store, this would be a great option for those like me who don’t live anywhere near a Lulu store.
I had my still pants hemmed by a professional and they look terrible…my brand new pants are now my around the house pants!

I thought I would let you know that in the Sports Page of the Toronto Star (page S8), Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriot’s, is wearing a pair of your pants as warm up gear. If you look hard enough at the image, you can see your logo. Pretty good product placement, I have to say.

Perhaps Tom would be one your Elite Ambassadors? Just a thought.

Would be nice if the sizes went a bit bigger than a 12 too! For us ‘larger’ women I fit the tops in a 12, but not the bottoms oh well, maybe one day i can have a complete LLL outfit.
