ready to wear - the majority of lululemon garments are preshrunk to ensure a quality first-time fit. This helps guarantee that what you measure for is what you receive - and as a bonus, it helps prevent things like zippers buckling up and other assorted dryer-related mishaps.
finding the right fit - if you have a waist measurement of 33" you are most likely going to need a size 34 pair of lululemon pants. This is because we have designed our pants to sit 2 to 3 inches below your natural waist. Looking for a good rule of thumb when it comes to fit? Measure your waist and add an inch.
stuck in the middle? - If you think you have a 34" waist measurement, you will find yourself between sizes at lululemon. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you commit to a size:
- how do I want these pants to fit?
- what will I be doing in these pants?
- am I a true size 34 or am I one Deluxe Burger away from a size 35?
complimentary hemming - bring your pants into any lululemon store and we will be happy to hem them for you at no charge. If you live in an area that doesn't have a lululemon store nearby and need to get your pants hemmed, start with a trusted tailor. Simply put, make sure your tailor looks at the style of stitch that your item was hemmed with originally - this sewing was chosen for the fabric and intended movement of your piece. All lululemon items are hemmed with double-stitching.
