Happy for the Define lovers out there, but where does this leave those of us who prefer the Forme? I was really hoping for a bordeaux Forme and it looks like that's not going to happen.
@ anon 9:33 pm - I zoomed both the Britt's picks photo and this one and I think they are different Defines. The one in Britt's photo has a red zipper pull and this one is gold. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. :)
Yeah, I'm leaning more towards the formes now. I remember right before the define went out how horrible they were in regards to quality. I kind of like the back without the flap too, it's more comfortable to sit up against. To each their own.
Agree with those of you who prefer the latest Formes to the Defines. I was a huge Define lover when they discontinued them and very unhappy with the first Formes that replaced them, but the latest Formes are just as great as the Defines used to be in my opinion (but fabric quality may not be as good, but that probably would have happened with the Defines anyway). It's very close, but I think I actually prefer the latest Formes! The fit of both are very similar, and I think what I prefer about them is the back without the added bulk of the vent and the smaller less obvious omega design at the front of the Formes. So I'm not as happy as I thought I would be to see the Defines back. I might get one if I see a colour I like, I just hope nothing has changed and they are exactly the same as they used to be, since it seems when Lulu brings something back it just never seems to be the same. The Inkwell Geo Print Define is a definite no for me, yuck, I don't like the print anyway, but that fabric looks terrible, so shiny and slippery looking! Also, I'd love a plain white Define, but that one looks to have other colour added, so probably a no to that one as well unfortunately.
I was just at my local lulu where I saw all 3 of these defines. The Bordeaux is a lovely color while the Tri Geo is shiny and polyestery looking. The "white" define that I saw was defiantly more pink. I would describe it as a blush.
I don't think I'm alone in preferring the define over the forme... I bought one forme (pre-cuffins) and I gave it away recently. One thing I like better about the define is the collar. Maybe it is just the shape of my shoulders, but the collar on the forme never sat right for me. I tried on the BD define today to verify sizing, and it feels about the same as the old define. Now I will wait for a color I like better. :) I'm happy LLL stated up front that the define will be around for at least a few seasons, so people don't go crazy like they did for the savasana wrap.
Bought the blush define today- with a rose gold zipper pull- grey/white striped collar- same as britts pick! Same old AWESOME Define that I've missed! I'm 5'2" and it's such a nicer shape than the forme- "define people" will be happy to see them back!

Good question. I prefer the Formes these days, too.
I think that whitish one is actually the light pink that showed up on Brittt's Picks this past Friday.

herringbone or heathered slate/grey/black...?
Smart of lulu to bring these back. I have never owned or tried one on.
the white one is actually pretty nice looking.

I prefer neither the Define or the Forme jackets, so it's easy for me to ignore both and not even be tempted.
The Run Bundle Up jacket on the other hand, that's a jacket to love.
