Like the Arise bra & Seamlessly plunge bra, though the seamlessly looks a lot like the Ebb & flow bra which doesn't give much support. Will check them out in store. I didn't like the Tranquility sleeveless wrap much until these pictures. Still too pricey at $98 IMO.
off topic, i have a new with tags size 4 here to there dress, bought @ lululemon brooklyn - i love the dress, so well made, but it's just a bit too big for me.... it was 128.00 + tax, came to around 139.00 (i'll fish out the receipt from my files as well). if anyone wants it i would say for 155.00 to cover shipping and paypal fees, please leave your email and i will contact you. if not i may try listing on ebay or just keeping it, it's truly gorgeous, i just sort of hate keeping things i'm not using.
Just wanted to chime in given the many comments about the true color of Bruised Berry. I picked up the Bruised Berry roll-down WUC recently and in person believe they are very much a purple color not at all a blue color, although I've seen many pictures where they look absolutely blue. I wore them today with a Pretty Purple elevate tank I got on markdown at a local store and thought that it was a nice color combo.
I've also seen many comments indicating that these Bruised Berry roll-down WUC are sheer and that has NOT been my experience. In a deep bend can I see the slight outline of my underwear, yes, but I cannot tell what color my underwear are and therefore consider these as NOT sheer. This is my first-pair of roll-down WUC and I really like them, they are soft and very comfortable.
I also tried on the Dart and Dash short and while I love the fit and the function I'm a little stuck on the style of them as I'm not accustomed to wearing a compression-type short alone. So I can't decide if I am going to keep them.
I also got the Trikonasana Tee in the grey color and love it. The deep V in the back is great. I wore it with a normal bra and the straps are completely covered so you can get a very open back look if that's what you want. Or you can wear any of the LL bras with pretty straps and have them show. I thought this tee looked great with my Street to Studio pants in Soot with the front edge tucked into the waistband. I just hope it washes well.
And finally I was also very excited to see the Pace Rival skirt in cadet colorblock in a Tall. I've yet to find a LL skirt that fits my body shape well but I've never tried on the Tall versions in any of their skirts - not sure why. Last time in the store I tried on the Pace Rival in white in a Tall and I thought it was pretty good so hopefully the one I've ordered will be a keeper.
I'm not big on the Tranquility Sleeveless Wrap but I do like it better when it is worn "crossed" over at the neckline vs. just like a regular vest. Definitely don't see a functional need for a piece like this though.
Just got back from the store and tried both the arise & alight bras. both ran TTS for me and both were very cute. I may order the arise when it comes online but I did purchase the alight in the coral floral pattern (cant remember name) because i wanted to pick my pattern distribution (some had way more gray and i wanted some blue). the alight could easily pass for a swim top as well.
@ anon 3:30 - I'm pretty sure the plunge ones do have inserts! I tried it on today - loved the look on the front, wasn't sold on the back for me but it was really comfortable, I might like it for travel but not for actually working out. I am 99.99% confident it has a spot for inserts, at the top where the bra meets the strap if I remember correctly.
There are no inserts in the plunge bra but that material is really thick, I don't like that material at all. My take is that the lunge bra will fit well on people who are a natural C anyone larger will probably have issues with sagging as there isn't enough support. The bruised berry color is amazing.

Hi! Thanks for the pics! :)
Does anyone know if the insert padding for the arise bra is the Flow-Y bra kind?
Thanks

Nope, I checked and asked an educator who checked--no inserts in the plunge bra.
