The Universal Wrap is back in black, white, and black grape. I am liking this. I was trying to remember why I've passed on this in the past and I'm thinking because older versions seemed thin for me.
The new Oneness Tank in Parfait Pink. It also comes in Inkwell and Black.
New colors in the Namaskar crop in Speckle Dot. My store had these on Saturday.

What is going on with that tank?? What a mess!
Is the Universal Wrap something that I would order in my usual size, or would it be a size down or a size up from usual size? I've never tried one before, but really like the look of it and would love to get one. Thanks to anyone who can help out :)
Easy passes for me.
@ anon 5:54 pm - I know - very tent-like. Maybe it looks better tied up.
LLA, do you know what material the Universal Wrap is made of?
Wagering a guess they are going to do something to headbands. So many of the Fly Away Tamer Headband and Swiftly Headband on wmtm Canada (not as many on US wmtm though).
The tank is like the Breathe & Flow tank from last spring/summer - very pretty - however it was not so low cut in front and in back under arms. It was a hot seller - I have black and white ones, but I kinda like the pink parfait. I used it for bodypump but it is more for yoga. It is very cool in summer when gym heats up!
The tank is so impractical for many yoga poses. It's too loose and will get in the way, even if you are not in an inversion type pose. The peek-a-boo cutout at the front and the seam down the front are odd. It's kind of like this tank says: are you wearing a bra alone or a sort of shirt over your bra? It makes me say "make up your mind" and commit to a real tank/shirt. I realize it's offering concealment of a sort that may appeal to some but again, impractical imo and not even that pretty. At least the No Limits Tank had a practical side and looked pretty.
The universal wrap is true to size. I have two from two years ago and it didn't seem thin to me, however, it may come apart at the seams in the shoulders after lots of wear. I've had to reinforce the shoulders with a few stitches. I can only imagine that the new ones are thinner because quality seems to decline over the years. I love the universal wraps. They are versatile and beautiful.
Universal wrap for me is a TTS or size down (I don't see a noticeable difference). If you normally have problems with LLL arms being too tight, I'd stay TTS. Just so you know LLA, the Universal Wraps I have from years past have held up amazingly well, but I'm not hard on them (don't know how you really could be, but worth a mention). Cold wash on delicate, flat dry. Not a pill not a snag.
Wow, that tank is creative and not in a good way. WSHMI - we shouldn't have made it
I just returned a Universal Wrap from the last release. I didn't wear it very often, and when I washed it for the first time, by itself in a garment bag, on gentle, cold water, etc. it came out with three holes in the middle of the back panel. My local store was very kind and took it back and damaged it out. Got the value back on a gift card. Luckily I was able to pull up my original order information on the wrap from my account. I had bought it last August and they still took it back no questions asked (once I told them how carefully I had washed it). I would not recommend buying it. Not worth the $118 it was last time to fall apart in the wash.
@ anon 6:31 pm - lol WSHMI - love that!
Thanks for the Universal Wrap feedback, everyone.
@Michelle - the write up says the material is a rayon made of a bamboo/cashmere blend.
RE: headbands, more of them are going on WMTM since lulu is making room for more headband styles in the spring.
Good catch, anon 6:12
I really like the universal wrap, but I could get several for under $50 from Mossimo @ Target.
LLA- my friend had on a wrap (similar to the universal, but it had an infinity front piece that could wrap over the head to create a scarf or behind the back to look like a regular cardi. Any idea what this style might be? I want one so bad! Thanks!
