New Groove Bands


New Groove Bands - I love the middle one. Black/Grapeseed/Quilt Summer 5 (top), Black/Heathered Blurred Grey/Quilt Summer 10 (middle), Black/Black Citron Tinted Canvas Super/Heathered Blurred Grey (bottom).

I wonder what the white-ish color is next to the coal in the middle photo. I wonder if it is Sand Dune. Apparently, there is a Sand Dune stripe CRB arriving in the stores. The new CRB is called Sand Dune Static Black Wee Stripe.

I wonder how close Grapeseed is to Power Purple. From the photos they look pretty close. I think I might visit the stores tomorrow and I'll try to remember to bring a PP headband with me to compare if the store has Grapeseed.

I hope they make some pants/crops in the heathered blurred grey--or a CRB. I love that color. The grey striped CRB is listed on ebay right now--it looks very similar to the static stripe that was out last spring in the sun salutation tank and push ur limits.

Today I picked up a Reverse Groove short in Black/Quilt Summer 8/Heathered Blurred Grey - it reverses to a wide band of the tinted canvas print, and the quilted colors are grapeseed/citron/heathered grapeseed. I have a Ta Ta Tamer in either Power Purple or Lavender (I think Lavender) and Grapeseed is very close but a little cooler/less pink.

Do you know if these quilted bands will make it to wunder unders (pants or crops)? I feel like the last in-store quilted wunder unders was power purple and greys in early january. I really want to try quilted wunder unders! (I'm currently a wunder groove girl)

I was reading the Groove pants reviews on the Lululemon website and they were not too good, alot of quality complaints and not holding up in the wash, talk about a waste of money!

@ Anon 5:07 am - Lululemon has been (was?) making some of their pants from a thinner, scratchier luon but some of the newest bottoms like the Stratus WUs, Pure Move, and Stance Pants feel more like the older, softer luon. The new Pure Balance jacket is made out of a thicker feeling luon and I've been wearing it all over and there is no pilling under the arms. Anway, what I am trying to say is use your fingers to feel the luon. Christine Day said there is a second luon supplier now. I will try to make a point to feel up the newest color bottoms and let you know if I think it's the better luon. Hopefully, they got a bad batch of luon and are done making clothes with it.

Thanks LuluAddict for the clarification. Grapeseed In Stride is now hitting the stores.

The grapeseed color scheme looks almost identical to the power purple quilt on the WU crop-- i would love to see a comparison of grapeseed to power purple -- I missed the pp wee stripe crb and would love to grab a grapeseed stripe crb-- especially if it will match my WU crops--

I would love if they made a WU short in the same length as the groove short- i like the rise better on them!!

I bought the iconic wrap today and think it is amazing there is about 3 different ways to wear it as I was shown by the lovely educator. I sized up from a 6 to a 8 because it runs a little short in the back because of the way the front crosses. Other then the sleeves being a little longer and roomier (not to confuse this with baggy or extra material) just probably not as fitted as the 6 would of been is all i'm saying.
