Thinking about ordering a tester pair of pants and a top from Zobha, but am unsure about sizing. Can anyone help with advice? What would be the Zobha equivalent for compression bottoms for a Lulu size 6 and/or equivalent for a Zobha singlet/tank (Lulu size 4-6)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I started this thread and then haven't been back in awhile! I just started back up at Pilates and now REALLY need some cropped pants and things. I was near Lulu yesterday and went in to pick up a pair of pants and had my usual horrible/annoying experience. I need to look into all of these great suggestions!

Zobha, for the most part, runs larger than Lululemon. For bottoms, I bought my usual Lululemon size and they were too big... Good thing they have a 30 day return policy.
 
I personally stick with Nike everything. You can always find it for a reasonable price at places like Sports Authority and the Nike outlet. Their running shorts and tanks with built in sports bras are my go-tos for working out at the gym. I don't like wearing anything other than shorts to work out in.

Me too, I love Nike!
 
I just got a pair of Under Armour crops and I LOVE them! They are super flattering (I'm normally not a fan of horizontal stripes but these are great), very comfy and feel like they'll hold up. They feel like wearing Lululemon inspires (like a second skin), but they are soft like WUs (except softer). I don't want to take them off. I don't know if it's just this pair or if all UA crops are like this, but I'm a fan so far!

Omg, those are SO cute!! I placed an order for a pair online today after reading your post, emcosmo1639! Based on reviews I found, I decided to go with an XS since I usually wear a size 4 in LLL WUC/WUP.

Thanks for sharing! *excited*

An xs should be perfect--I'm a 6 in lulu and the small fit me great. They look even better in person too! I'm debating about getting the blue ones now!

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, I had already ordered. I completely agree with you about sizing.The Zobha size 6 crop are pretty big and actually bag at the knees on me. I wonder how consistent the sizing is...

Good question - I haven't tried anything else from them. I wonder how their tops fit as well, as I've heard good things.

I hope you were able to return or exchange the crops you purchased!
 
I did that too! Kind of bummed about the 8-12 week waiting period, but was happy about the savings coupon. Excited to try a new brand, especially one that's made in the USA and non-sheer from reviews on the LLA blog (:

Great minds think alike! Just put in an order for their tank, bra and crops! The customer service has been stellar! Can't wait to try em!
