Victoria secret vsx pants are half the price of all lulufitness and look incredible on. Way better than the winder unders which kind of slide from the tummy when you do any exercise.

I'm surprised also! I have some Paypal money and was planning on a splurge at the Lulu site, however I kept reading all of the reviews and they were mostly negative. The reviewers kept saying that their Lulus were falling apart at the seams, fading, and see-through. Some reviewers were recommending Zela's instead of Lulu. My DH even mentioned this went I got home yesterday so it made the national news. This is costing them some BIG MONEY.

I like how lululemon is saying it is just pants that were for sale after March 1st that are the problem. If you look at the reviews on the lulu site complaints have been going on for quite a while. Funny how they are just now responding to the problems. They should have addressed the issues a long time ago.

This is the first that I have heard of this. It's been ages since I've bought anything from them.

Maria, do you mean, Zella?

Nordstroms carries this brand:

Yes I meant Zella's. I purchased a pair from Nordstrom and they really are wonderful material.

Thanks for the info about Zella! I wish i known about them before I bought some capris at Lululemon last week. Zella has a a very similar pant for $22 cheaper.

I think I'm over Lululemon.

I have a feeling this little glitch they've had is going to do this to a lot of people. Going to be interesting to see how the company does.

Don't forget to check out lucy.com -- it's not necessarily cheaper, though they do have frequent sales -- but their stuff is good quality, comfy, flattering.

There was an article in the Washington Post about the Lulu pants a few days ago....available on line.

I got a Lucy e-mail advertising their 50% end of season clearance sale....haven't checked it out. I pick up most of my work-out clothes during their sales.
