Upload! (Updated)
The surprise of the upload to me the (re)appearance of the black wee stripe/black reversible Wunder Unders. These look exactly like the pair I bought about 18 months ago. The pair I have are super soft, very stretchy, and a bit on the thick side but there is no way to tell from the website photos if this pair will be the same. I didn't order them since I already have something that looks very similar.
I was hoping to see the Spry Cool Racerback but the only thing I got was the Mod Dot Bangbuster headband. It will add a fun element when I dress like a gym ninja in head to toe black.
What did you all order?
Update - Canada got a Love Red and Mod Dot All Sport bra. I wish the straps were dotted, too. My stores have not gotten any of the new All Sports in.

I got the twin stripe power y. thought it was only going to come in a CRB so i was pleasantly surprised. i like the black trim around it. also got the soot crb and the crops you posted above. thinking about taking soot back already....i'm trying to stay colorful with my workout clothes but wanted to order in case i liked. bummer there was no mod dots energy bra this upload.
Do you know if they take awhile to post everything? Definitely want those wunder under crops you posted but I'm waiting for the iconic wrap I don't see it uploaded yet.
Have the full length version of those wunder unders and love them so much so got the crops, hoping they are same!!! Picked up soot light crb and black twin stripe crb too.
@ anon 10:07 pm - everything is usually uploaded at one time. Sometimes they will stealth load an item a few days later but that is rare.
Were the reversible WU a size up last year??
soot light and spry twin stripe crb's, white iconic wrap. Tempted by the new WUC but I got the charcoal a few weeks ago.
=( was waiting for the Mod Dot Energy Bra, but both US and Canada didn't get those uploaded.
Got the Soot Light CRB and Raspberry Light Glo WUC for now.
OT--I know this may seem odd, but does anyone know of a way to remove the exterior logo--like on the power Y's? (Just not into logos on exterior of my clothes.
@ anon 10:15 pm - they were super stretchy so more like a size down. However, I got my normal size.
Twin Stripe Scoop Me Up and the Striped Pacesetter. I'm not a fan of the skirt by the photo, but it looks like they are using the photo of the short/regular version for the tall. I'd wait to think about it, but the 10Ts will probably be gone in the AM.
REALLY wanted the Mod Dot Energy Bra...bummer.
I wonder which Mod Dot bra (Energy or All Sport) is higher? I'm only interested in it peeking out of the top of my CRBs.
I got the wee stripe wu crops, I bought these on eBay last year and it seemed like they had been hemmed so I returned them, do you think they run short?
I don't see those wee stripe WU crops. Is it possible they already sold out??!
I got my regular size last year.
Is the iconic wrap on thr US side?
The stripe are there- separate category for reversible WUCs.
I bought a second pair of the wee stripe WUCs, they are my favorite from last year and I love them in winter.
I'm not a fan of reversible WUs. I have the deep indigo/raspberry glo light one last year and I don't wear it too often. Too spongy and less stretchy for me. I would have gotten the wee stripe crop if it weren't reversible.
The black iconic wrap sold out in 25 min on the canadian side so i had to get the white dont know if its on the us side.
I'm afraid to order anything cause I've had to return almost every other item I've purchased lately... I thought about getting those WUC but what if they are poor quality? I can't justify $90 crops of poor quality. I wanted the contempo in spry because I saw the jackets in person and they feel durable and have quality seams but it didn't show up...

@ Anon 10:38 PM - they are posted as wunder under crop *reversible and the color is black/black. as of 1:05 AM PST all sizes are available except 12.
Iconic wrap looks VERY TIGHT in the arms!! I have super skinny arms and Im betting its still going to be super tight.... Pass for me! Nothing for me this upload.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the reversible black wee stripe WU crops!! I didn't get last time they were out and I have regretted eversince, so I ordered two of them right away, toguether with the Soot Light CRB and the Soot Serene T. Only gray in this order, but I love gray.
There is a new jacket coming up it seems. It's on the picture for the Sizzle Sand to Savasana Bag. Only like the collar, same as in the Daily and the Contempo jackets, both of wich I have, so no need for a third one with the same collar style.
US never got the iconic wrap? I want one! Also, LLA there is a sneak peak of a new jacket in the sizzle sand to savasana duffle.
Rough week for me and my wallet. I got the soot CRB, black and white twin stripe CRB (will think on this one -- might return), plus tossed in the cool breeze mod moves CRB after having fallen in love with my power purple one. And then I went back for these WU crops which I completely missed until I saw them here -- first pants for me since the recall. Good thing that the Mod Dot bras weren't uploaded or this would have been my most expensive lulu order in a loooong time.
The stripe WUCs are still on the website - its about 7 am eastern time here. I really like them! I will check them out in store first today though. I have a pair of tender violet/black reversible WUCs that just don't fit right. They are my tts 4 but they always feel like they are falling off and are not as stretchy as my black ones. Hardly wear them as a result.
I also want to get the soot CRB. I think I saw my store had the spry blue one as well and may get that one too. Thinking of returning my fast track shorts for these items. But then I'll probably regret returning them. Hard to tell if these are something that will hit wmtm and there will still be sizes available. Also still would like to get the track attack shorts. Sigh.
I'm also hoping they move some good stuff to wmtm this week. The last few weeks have been very disappointing!
I ordered the wee stripe wunder unders (fingers crossed). The soot CRB is tempting. I may have to finally list my vintage wunder unders that no longer fit....hard to part ways with the old lulu.
i got the nimbus stripe free 2 be and the nimbus stripe pacesetter (t). i have a gift card coming on friday so i may go to the store to feel the new CRBs as well.
Totally OT but I really dislike when lll stlyles the models hair with the Bang Buster in a way that looks like upside down bowl! Like on the pic of the Breathe and Release tank. Who the heck shows up at the gym with such a hairdo?
Finally got my groovy stripe multi CRB since they didn't have my size at my store. Also ordered the soot light bandha crop, looks super cute. Waiting for spry blue CRB as well.
Those reversible WUC were a nice suprise so I ordered those. Firs WU I've ordered since the cocoa piqué. But if they are sheer in the slightest, back they will go! Wanted the spry blue CRB but I'll have to wait on that I guess. Nothing else interests me.
The spry blue denim wu crops look beautiful. Anyone test them for sheerness? Also the spry blue studio crops-- sheer?? Thanks
Just the black twin stripe Scoop Me Up, as I also already have the black wee stripe reversible WUC. And.... good new from YogaSmoga! Just got my shipment confirmation last evening, for one of my YogaSmoga crops, the all black or Carbon. (Ordered a pink one too.) Bought this one in first week of April. Hope those who ordered will get their shipping confirmations soon too. :)
Don't the all the hype with the Iconic Wrap this time around. Last year thoe wraps were online for weeks before they sold out. Also, tehy were in Vitasea and $98 (this year they are $88)
Did you guys notice the black/raspberry glo Gather and Crow crops are called "Afterglo"? Weird. Soot CRB for me. Although that model with the double headbands looks really weird, the camera angle is not flattering. I'm often surprised by the bad photography and styling on the website.
I was initially tempted by the wee stripe WUC, but I have a reversible pair in beaming blue/black that are just not my favorite, seems like the waist is too big. If I sized down, the legs would have been tight, with that weird rubbery fabric they use. If they were more like the pique ones, in wonderful, curve-hugging stretch, then I'd be tempted. That's got to be the yummiest fabric ever.
I will check them out in the store, along with hopefully a Spry CRB. Hoping the Spry is greener than Beaming and Beach Blanket. Would Lulu PLEASE release Lagoon again insead of the bleeder colors?
I didn't order anything. I will look at the Soot CRB in store and hopefully I like the fabric. Waiting on Spry Blue CRB as well.
Also received the e-mail from YogaSmoga that my order (Run Jump Play crop) has shipped. Cool! Really hope they are a winner!
Bought the wee stripe WUC and soot light CRB. Do you guys think Lulu will come out with a full length pant with wee stripes soon? I've been looking for these forever. Excited to get the crops in the meantime.
I haven't ordered anything yet. I think I'm going to order the groovy stripe CRB as I've been wanting that for awhile.
I'm going to stop by my store tonight and see if they have the Bandha Crops. These crops look so cute to me but I want to try them on and see if they are sheer. I also want to see the color spry in person to see if it's too close to beach blanket blue and beaming blue to justify getting one.
I did buy the striped Fast Track Tank at the store the other day as I tried it on and feel in love with it. If they uploaded that tank in Spry I totally would have not hesitated to order.
@Anon 5:48am
The spry blue denim wu crops? Where??!!!
And like someone mentioned before, the Bandha Crop looks very similar to the Dhanurasana Crop. Cute, but those knee length crops never work for me for yoga. Have to keep on yanking them over my knee, just too short and rides up. :(
i got the contempo jacket in raspberry glo (i heart pink!), the stripe crb-hoping for good color placement and the reversable wu. expensive!
No iconic wrap on US site. All sold out on Canada's...gonna hit my store tomorrow or wait until they show up. Gonna have to be fast! They are gorgeous!
Do any of you ladies with a D cup chest run in an Energy bra? I wear Tata Tamers, but they aren't as cute as the Energy bra. I'm thinking of getting one, but I really only run (don't cross train much), and my girls need support. Please let me know what you all think.
Can someone PLEASE verify whether or not the US side got the iconic wrap?
Are u in Canada? I don't see the iconic wrap on the us side
OT....I got my shipping confirmation from my first Yogasmoga order I placed on April 2!! Hoping my second order will ship in the near future too!,
i was hoping for a cute new pace setter skirt. i think i would have been all over that nimbus striped one if the strips had been horizontal instead of vertical...or maybe even diagonal? i dunno. i like the *idea*, but it just looks off somehow with the vertical strips. oh well..maybe w twin stripe one will come out!
Marti said...for the first time I like the black twin stripe Power Y better than the CRB, the CRB should have black trim. I got the the multi groovy stripe CRB.
In Canada, so I was able to buy the heathered black Iconic Wrap (sold out all sizes in a couple of hours)and Spry twin stripe CRB. Was going to go back for the black Gather and Crow Crops called "afterglow" whatever that means, but they are black with raspberry glo waistband, but I have so many crops now I can't justify new ones. Also, the black wee stripe reversible WUC sold out really fast so I never really had a chance (didn't see them right away).
Anyone else notice the waistband of the gather and crow that looks like Raspberry Glo, but is listed as "afterglo"?
Good eye, @ 4:08 - I wonder what the fabric is? The neck, at least, looks promising and I haven't bought a jacket or hoodie in soooooo long, I am in withdrawal. (Although secretly hoping there will be an amazing SeaWheeze hoodie at the race next month...what are the chances?)
Re: the Iconic Wrap - I tried it on today in-store and was extremely disappointed. The arms were super-tight even in my size up, and the back was much too short for my tastes. Even the ed. said it was like a scarf with sleeves. Maybe it's just because it's 9,000% humidity in the northeast today, but I'm wishing for a rerelease of my simple, breezy 3/4-sleeved Namaste wrap - that's a perfect to/from cover-up on a sticky day.
I ordered the WUC — but now I'm totally doubting myself. I'm 2/4 in all LLL (5'6", 115lbs)... I ordered the 4 because there are almost always 2s left over. But now I worry that they'll be too large, as when things run even just a bit larger than TTS I have to size down. (Duh. Like many of us, I'm sure.)
Anyway: can anyone compare to the charcoal WUC that were just out? I was a good 2 in those... Thanks!
I read a power Y review where someone spoke of cutting out the shelf bra and they loved it. Any one try this? I think it might make the luon light more bearable if I can wear an old flow Y bra under with more coverage. For me wearing an additional sports bra with the built in shelf bra is just too constricting. I hate to ruin a tank though if I don't like the effect. The reviewer likened it to how a crb feels.
Thoughts?
Can someone confirm whether or not the iconic wrap was uploaded on the US side. If not, will it be uploaded next week?
@ anon 4:08 am - good eye. I am still waiting for the WUs she is also wearing in that photo to show up.
Where the heck are those Spry Blue Denim WUC???? I looked at my local store today (San Diego) and could only find the black (barf).
It looks like the yellow s2s bag has a blue/green - dare i hope - TEAL* bottom.
Can somebody help me in regards t sizing in the no limits tank? I am 5"3 112 pounds and 32A. I am wondering whether I should go with a 4 or a 6
@7:27 I'm also a D and primarily run. I am very particular about support (even feeling that the ta ta tamer doesn't work as well as moving comfort's jubralee or fiona). I, too, feel like it's a total bummer that all the "industrial strength" bras are pretty hideous and have been lusting after the energy bra. I ended up skeptically trying it on an 9 mile run last weekend (sized down to hold the girls a little closer). I was pleasantly surprised that it worked well! There was still some bounce, but I wasn't uncomfortable and it wasn't nagging me during the run. The one thing I noticed was that my upper back and neck were much more tired than normal, so I must have been using some muscles for support that I don't normally use. Best of luck!
@ anon 7:27 am - I'm a 34D and I can only use energy bras for Body Pump and Pure Barre classes. Any time I'll be jumping around or running, I have to have something more substantial.
This may just be me though because I feel like I've read on this blog that quite a few D cup ladies run in the energy bra.
LLA re 10:08 a.m. post - a new color for WUs and WUCs, possibly? Pretty sure I saw the pant version in the Pure Balance water bottle pics for raspberry glo light and pizzaz. Hope those are released soon as they seem more of a summer/early fall color. Nice upload. I'm interested in reversible WUC, bandha crop and soot CRB. I like the detailing for the soot light/groovy stripe nimbus stripe bandha crop but how many nimbus stripe pieces do you need? Heading to my local store later this week to try them on.
Anon 4:56 AM: I had to go look at the photo to see the "bowl" hair. LMAO!!!
I am a d cup and have tried the energy bra on at the store. I thought it would be plenty supportive to run in and was much more comfortable than texts at tamer, however, I did not purchase because I could see the outline of the cup inserts not only through the bra, but even through a crb layered over the bra. Removing the cups showed the headlights, so sadly, did not purchase.
Learned through chat w/GEC that there is a slight color difference between raspberry glo light and afterglo, hence the different name. I'll need to check it out in store since I can't see the difference on my monitor.
Yea I agree too about the iconic wrap....big hype over nothing. I asked around to various friends that made it to a store and they were disappointed in the fit. Short in the body, quite tight in the arms....material wrinkles easily. Big pass for me! Its nice to save a little money sometimes! :)
@ anon 7:27am: I am a 34 DD and find the Energy Bra surprisingly supportive. However, I only do yoga in it; it's not quite enough for running. But I think it probably depends on how the sizing works for you. Mine covers less of my chest because I have to size down to get a smaller band size. So you might try giving it a shot. :)
Anon@7:27 - I wear a 34DDD or 36DD bra and wear the Energy Bra (size 10) for running quite often. I haven't noticed a marked lack of support. I run distances from 3-10 miles farily regulary and the only issues I've had are some rubbing in a few spots but you get that from just about any clothing. Best of luck. ~MacFrannie
It was not uploaded on the US side
Again I did not order one thing. Where is Love Red???? I'm waiting LuLu!
This is the first time in a long time I've been this excited about an upload!
Spry blue is gorgeous! I'll be buying all the Spry items I can afford. The difference between Beaming Blue and Spry is similar to Dasani's logo. The outer colors of the logo being the BB and BBB with the inner part of the logo being Spry. I'd compare Spry more to Tide (tidal?) from a few years back. But still not an exact match.
I adopted the Spry CRB and Spry Stripe CRB, Spry Stripe Energy, Mod Dot Energy (LOVE), and Twin Stripe Scoop Neck. Ordered the Pacesetter last night, but I saw it in the store today and hate it.
My (US) store had the heathered-black iconic wrap. The fabric is gorgeous and the heathered part looks great (not lent-covered). But I tried on a 6, 8, and 10 and I swear they all fit the same and the arms were ridiculously tight.
anon 7:27 - I'm a 34D runner. I find there's too much movement running in an energy bra, although I love them for everything else (gym, yoga, just hanging around). I wear the tata tamer or a moving confort Fiona bra for running.
To anon @ 7:27--I wear a 34 DD and run exclusively in the Energy Bra. It is cute and supportive. I buy and 8 and it fits perfectly. The Flow Y isn't nearly supportive enough (obviously), but I wear it for lighter impact activities. I wore it biking last weekend and it was supportive enough (except for bumps) but it did elicit A LOT of gawking. I will stick to the Energy Bra from now on.
I'm an E cup and have both the Tata Tamer II and Energy bras. For running, I prefer the Tata by far. The Energy doesn't provide nearly as much support. The only thing I actually like about it is the criss-crossed back straps. It also provides little lift compared to bras I have from Zella. I won't be repurchasing the Energy any time soon.
Anon 7:27 - I'm 34D and I size to a 6 in energy bras that I know I'll run in. And I love the support of the bra! I've run up to 20 miles without issues. If I know I'll only wear that color for yoga, ill grab an 8 and leave the cups in. I take the cups out of the 6 when I run.
@arsaca I'm worried too about sizing of the WUC... Usually reversible run small but then I heard these are stretchy so not sure if I'd be a 4 or 2... Or even 6? I'm 5'3" 107lbs and wear a 0/2 in normal pants... Anyone try these new WUC on yet??
Jek,
I've been thinking about doing the exact thing to all of my power Y's. For years it's been popular to layer different colors of bra and tank, but LLL make all the bras to fit underneath the straps of crb's...what's the point? You think they could make them slightly different, but at least finally they came up with the energy bra.
Anyway, the power Y's have nice thin straps that would show off a different style bra underneath, but I don't need to wear double bras, so I think I'm going to cut at least one tank's buit in bra out to see if I like it. At the very least, it'll become a regular tank. I should also add that I own over 100 tanks. Not all power y's but I've been collecting since 2009, so sacrificing one isn't going to kill me if it doesn't workout...although I can't imagine why it wouldn't.
I'm surprised about how fast the wee wuc are saling online. I went to the website around 3:30pm and 4&6 were already sold out! So I ordered the 8 (my regular size was still around) just because I was curious about them. I'm one of those that can easily go to a store for returns. Then I checked the website again around 4:15 and my size was out! Did I get the last one last? Maybe it's meant to be :P
I just got the wee stripe wunder unders. I just got the black ones last week, wish I waited because I am getting 2 in one in these. Oh well.
I got the charcoal ones a couple weeks back.. I ordered the wee ones this morning after thinking about them for the night. If I like them I will sell my charcoal ones since I don't need two!!
@ anon 2:04 pm - I think you will find the charcoal and these new wee stripe black ones are two different looks so you might want to keep both.
@anon 10:24AM - I have your same measurements and wear a 4 in the NLT
Curious to see how this run of the iconic wrap compares to last year. I sized down last year to avoid excess material in the front; the arms are a bit tight but not comfortably so. I would definitely pick up a lighter color if the fit is the same. Hoping it's uploaded next week in the US.
The new tank missing the entire backside is sold out, with the exception of size 12. I find it so tacky, but that's my personal opinion. If you can wear it without any bra, maybe it would be ok. But no bra makes that hole look cute!
To Anon 10:25- I suggest you should go with the size 4. I am 6' 125lbs and a 32A and I wear a 4.
@ 10:25 am....I think with you being a 32A, you should be fine with a 4, possibly a 2 in the NLT...its all about how the bra fits with this tank. I'm 5'5", 115 lbs, 34C and I wear a 6. I wish I could size down in the NLT because there's so much material in the tank, but then I wouldn't be able to squeeze the girls into a 4. Hope this helps! :)
I tried on the spry blue denim crops in TTS and found they showed every lump and bump. Did not want to move up a size so I passed. These crops are made in Canada.
The mod dot energy bra had a weird, vinegar smell to it so I passed, thinking it would bleed. Also very polyester. Bangbuster was the same but picked it up anyway.
Serene tee was better than expected and picked it up- very nice, light, and cool Vitasea.
I picked up an iconic wrap in the heathered white, very true that the arms are tight. Still a nice substantial wrap.
Tried on the Iconic Wrap at the store today. It is unbelievably tight thru the upper back and arms. I am 5'4" and 112 lbs. It was uncomfortable in a 6 and had a ton of extra fabric hanging in the front. The educator also tried it on to see if she experienced the same thing and she really disliked it too. She was smaller than me and tried the 6. It was so off she even commented that she felt like the sleeves were attached in the wrong place. I tried on a few in different colors to see if this was this particular one and it wasn't. Do not waste your money!!!
I hated the Dhanurasana Crop because they were thin and cheap, they went back. I otherwise love a knee length crop. I have no faith in LLL bottoms anymore, hence I will not even look at the Bandha crop.
@ 10:25 AM, on the No Limits Tank, you'll be fine in a 4, possibly a 2. The issue is the tightness of the bra band. I'm 5'5", 120 lbs and a 34B and I wear a size 4 in No Limits and other shirts, but I'm a 2 in a CRB (which are fitted and not tight). My No Limits is comfortable in the 4.
Wow - I am relatively new to this blog - really just this year - and I don't think I've seen this many comments on an upload yet! I agree, spry blue is a beautiful color. Was hoping to get to a store today to check it out in person but didn't make it - hopefully tomorrow!
Regarding the NLT - I am 117lbs, 32B. 5'4" and I take a 4 in this tank. I find it is supportive for all activities - running, kickboxing, yoga, etc.
I picked up the Heathered black Iconic wrap size 6 at my local store. Normally a 2/4, the sleeves are tight. They are made in The USA!
@Anon 7:27 - I would go with the 4. Do you have any lulu bras? Go by your bra size for the no limits tank. I'm 5'0, 117lb, 34B and I wear a 6 in the NL tank :)
Oops, my last comment about the no limits tank was intended for anon 10:25, not 7:27. Sorry! Also, I agree with the other person who said possibly a 2 might fit as well.
Oh my gosh, you ladies are fabulous! So thankful for all the input about being a D+ cup and running in an Energy bra! I think I will break down and try it on at the store instead of just ordering it online. I really appreciate all your comments, you ladies rawk! Thank you, LLA for providing such a great format to exchange information. I appreciate you all!
Thanks anon1:25.
I think I'll cut the bra out if one power Y and see how it works. I too have a large collection- like 50+ power y's and a slew of other tanks to boot. One won't really matter. It definitely won't ruin it. You're right, it could just become a beach tank or whatever.
Thanks- j
Purchased the Bandha crop and sized up to a 6, my tts is a size 4. I'm a lean 5'6 117lbs for reference. The power Luxtreme panel in the back does give coverage, no sheerness issues for me. The waistband is nice, medium rise similar to Inspires but maybe a touch higher, very smooth. I bought the soot light color and may get a black pair because I love a knee crop:) I also purchased the Icinic Wrap and it is being returned:( I have very slim toned arms and it is uncomfortably tight in the arms and across the back, not as comfy as it appears. I also grabbed the Spry and Soot CRB, very nice:) I ordered the Twin Stripe/ Dot speeds and tried them in store, my tts 4 give me total diaper butt with a ton of excess fabric. I brought the size 2 home and while they look better in the back the liner is very tight so not sure what to do:/ They are so darn cute too.
Has anyone seen the wee strip WUC in stores in Canada yet? I went last night and they didn't have any out yet...just a whole bunch of plain black ones! Didn't look like any of the new stuff was out yet. Do you know when the products in the upload usually show up in Canadian stores?
8:54 I run in my energy bra and I am a 34D sometimes DD. I don't use the inserts. I have never had any problems with the bra.

Anon 4:08am....re tight speed shorts liner:
I believe some people actually make a tiny slit in the liner and it has helped. Perhaps someone could comment to that. I saw a pic on a Facebook lulu page and someone had done it.
I picked up the spry, soot light and black twin stripe CRBs in store yesterday. My fave is the soot light, a very unique neutral nd it looks great with my tan.
Tried on the Iconic Wrap yesterday in store and did not like it at all. Tight arms, too short in back, have to fix it just so in front bc there is so much fabric. I really wanted to love it but I didn't. And I can't deal with constantly having to adjust the front while wearing it. Someone on a lulu FB page mentioned it would be great for nursing and that is true. Lots of extra fabric to hide boobie and baby.
