They are simply different lengths for different looks. the actual rise of the pant will stay the same, it's just the thickness of the band that is changing. I still like my full length work pants, but those are becoming less and less prevalent in favor of the ankle length. Actually, who knows could be entirely arbitrary to cut costs. I'm with you on this. I'm 5'9" and I can pull them over my heal if I want and I love that pant. @luluaddict, which pants have the new measurements? And while we are slowly getting taller (and rapidly getting fatter), the average is not as tall as I thought. Here is How I Did It. @ anon 6:28 pm - I measured a pair of my own HT which came out to be 25.5". HT tend to slip on me depending on the material. I think they shouldn't be making all their WUP of long length , instead just have separate tall version. I hate the way my aligns and high times fit. It does seem strange that they would alienate a potentially large group of people by doing this. They seem to think that their target market wants shorter inseams across the board, which is evident by the vast array of 7/8 length tights on the pants wall. You may want to check your chart- it says High Times have a 24.5" inseam now, but it's actually 26. Now my poor ankles will show on everything and look like I don't know how to buy pants for myself. 30% OFF EVERYTHING! Is Sea Wheeze Your First Half? I hope it's like the Teeki band height - a good inch below my belly button. According to the chart the WU Hi Rise Tight is supposed to be getting chopped to 28", but the app says it's 30" and it looks decently long on the model. It is no longer unique, and I no longer feel a loyalty toward the brand. I don't know how I feel about the shorter waistband on high rise WUP, right now they're the perfect height. Per the CDC, the current averages are:Height (inches): 63.8Weight (pounds): 166.2Waist circumference (inches): 37.5So, if the average woman is really only 5'4", I guess that's why Lulu thinks 28" should be good enough. My pair of nulux dazzle feather tights are slightly lower rise than my other WUPs, and they tend to hit me JUST under the sweet spot. I have to think this is purely a cost cutting measure. ! 30% OFF SITEWIDE + Free Shipping only at Carbon38! I need to find another athletic pants company. *sigh*. At 5'9", I'm frustrated, but all I can do is shop eBay. The ed @ 8:03 said lengths weren't changing, so maybe the info LLA got was still a draft version? But when you pay that kind of money for a jacket or top you expect it to fit you well. I'm guessing that the shorter inseams may be due to a lot of hemming requests. (http://citythatbreeds.com/2010/07/steve-urkel-the-original-hipster/)They have every right to make the length whatever they want, but I can't understand why EVERYTHING is going short. The cool racerback was my other main purchase because of its length and that's already gone. Likewise, the Wunder Under Pant inseam is currently 30.5", and the new inseam on the Wunder Under Crops is supposed to be getting significantly shorter (I think 17", not 21"). I guess even stupid Athleta has tall sizes so I'll have to buy my stuff from them because a 28 in inseam isn't long enough for me. The align pants- at a 7/8 length- was such a hit this winter. If there's any cool design(aka fading or ombr ) you will loose some of it. The 2 inches will still be long enough for those w longer legs, and just be a tad more appealing to most women who need hems, or those who have just suck up the bunchy-ness that forms in the bottoms! Also, they all but abandoned their pants that used to come in tall. for those of you worried that changing the waistband on the WUP will change the rise, fear not! As beautiful as these pants are, I just don't reach for them as much because of this. They are so weird. That's perfectly comfortable.As far as the length, hopefully they will do a tall version otherwise I feel for everyone. I was curious whether US women were shrinking - no really! @Anon 4:55 Ahhh bummer. They NEVER differentiate from this (which is why people dont buy from them here - the sizing is ridiculous). I updated the chart since a few people are saying the inseam is 26". If I want my ankles showing, I wouldn't be purchasing winter type pants. I mean, I understand not wanting to appeal only to the especially tall, but a 30" inseam is pretty standard. Crossing my fingers that they aren't actually changing this.I don't get it. I checked the new "low rise" WUPs that just came out in midnight navy and the app says they're 30". They are going to be available in a tall length. Too wide at the.ankle? The blog where lululemon fans discuss & feed their addiction. They made athletic pants long enough for me. Finally the waistband won't come half way up my back. The sleeve length is crazy long . Of course, sometimes the descriptions aren't accurate, but the app descriptions tend to be much better than the online descriptions. Where are they supposed to hit? I'm 5"3 and was always missing out on cool prints/colors of WUP due to gigantic length:( Hemming is not an option because a. I bought them despite hating the length and I thought I'd get over it, but I feel like a jerk every time I leave the house. Thank you LLA for the heads up -- time to buy long WUPs before they're gone! CYBER SALE! @ anon 2:56 I have an 'in' and have been told and read that they will be offered in a 'tall' length. @ anon 4:55 am - Thanks! This sucks actually. It's not as comfy, slides down a little, and makes a teeny bit of muffin top. I was so excited that the waistband wouldn't be boob-height anymore. anon @ 11:06, I don't think so. That Wunder Under pant III change will mean us long-legged ladies will quite literally be left out in the cold. period. I'm so happy about this, I was so sick of getting pants hemmed I was only buying high times. If you haven't been paying attention, the company's Q3 earnings exceeded expectations and guidance was raised for Q4. The reason I started buying in the first place was because the pants and sleeves were long enough for me. Currently regular wunder unders are quite long on me but not sure that I can afford to lose a full 2 inches! The same thing is happening in other areas, such as women's ready to wear. The ones that came out in the upload? What attracted me to lululemon was someone pointing out to me that they had longer pants than normal brands, and as a tall girl it was like everything in the store was made for me. @She Who Weaves Words - lots of tall ladies are being left out in the cold. The 28" inseam reduction left me out in the cold. Does anyone remember Steve Urkel? I thought those 17" WUCs were special "half tight" ones. I'm fairly short, only 5'4" but I wear a size 4 and have a 32" inseam. I had to just deal with it because what can you do. I did measure a pair of my WUPs and they came up at around 30". I hate crops that bunch around my knees. The tall lengths won't be sold in store, but readily available online. I never considered the WUP to be for tall women, nor did I consider the High Times to be for shorter women. I have been feeling annoyed by the shorter lengths on speed tights etc lately anyway but this? I prefer WUP to High Times not because I am "tall" (at 5'7" I consider myself average height and don't require tall versions of clothing), but because I prefer a full length tight to a 7/8 length. One of the things that drove me into Lulu in the first place was the fact I could find running tights on me that weren't crops. @ anon 6:38 am - I got the numbers from the spec sheet on the changes but they could have listed the HT number in error. Your resource for photos, reviews, & lulu news since 2008. This was the main reason I started buying LLL 5 years ago. Thanks for sharing. Moves like this pants overhaul will not woo me back--Quite the contrary. Fits perfect, I knew it couldn't be a US size 10. I have two pair of 7/8 pants, but I won't buy more. The loss of inseam marks the end of my time with lululemon. Come on, lulu, stop messing with stuff that isn't broken. I hope losing the inch doesn't make them cut off at a strange point.. I'm not overly tall at 5'8" but have a 33" inseam for pants so hoping this doesn't mean the tights will be too short. Shop Forever 21: ONLINE ONLY - CYBER WEEK CONTINUES! Fear not!! I have to actually hike them up a bit so the bottom isn't loose.My Dottie Tribe WUPs fit the best. I also hope they'll make stuff for petites. Crops that didn't become shorts (Inspires, Pace Rivals). Now I truly have no more reason to buy from them. Wow, I guess I was wrong. Ripoff or Joint Venture? A full 2 inches off the inseam does seem a bit drastic. Lululemon was such a great company for making items that catered to tall women and the rest of us really liked the extra length and now they're like all other athletic companies. I've been super annoyed with LLL for the past year or so they always make their french terry sweat pants with such a short inseam now. The shortening of inseams across the board makes me think that they may come up with tall versions? When they still had the "good" dance studio pants they never made the fun colors in tall. They'll be flaring out at your ankles b. I'm 5'10" and I have a 32 inch inseam to begin with. hello :] super random question, i ordered the beyond boundaries bra online, & it is NWT. Also, I did notice that the inseam on my nulux wunder unders (in iridescent multi) were significantly shorter than my regular wunder unders and were borderline too short. I wish I had your confidence, anon @ 1:59, but I can't remember the last time they made legging type pants in a Tall. Literally--my ankles are exposed and cold.Months ago, I faced the fact that lululemon is simply not the company that it used to be. Aus 10 is a Canadian size 6. I don't believe that lululemon is leaving tall women out, I believe it is trending toward shorter inseams all around, in line with current trends in women's wear.I do miss the 30" speed tight length. Do you even pay attention to lululemon share value or earnings reports? Say what you will about Lee Holman and the new artistic direction; the numbers speak for themselves. Same for my Dottie tribes. What is the Relationship Between Tuff Athletics and Lululemon? I love the fold over aspect of their high rise waist bands, but the height seemed to keep creeping higher and higher and all that fabric over the belly is annoying. That's how I feel. Yoga pants that weren't crops. Here in australia the tags are in canadian sizes. I'm not a tall person either but have a very long inseam (34") so I can't shop in the Tall sections of places since the rise is off because i'm average height. Now I can finally buy the full lengths and they'll actually be full lengths, As a current educator - The actual height of the pant/waistband isn't changing, they're only moving the seam of the pant to make the waistband "look" and measure shorter than before. I only buy hi rise pants from lulu because they hit at the perfect spot on me. Oh good to know! I can't afford their new prices and I have enough swiftlies and rest less pullovers to last the rest of my life. I will have to measure them when I get home to see if they are 28 inches well I am basically devastated. Sigh. There are like 36 variations on WUPs; surely two or three of them could stay long. Compare this to Under Armour, whose stock price decreased 25% the day they released their Q4 earnings. Well this is fine with me. I assumed that was the case but it's good to have it verified. I stopped buying Lulu because the height of the band was annoying and I do not like the seaming on the regular WUP.. or WUT I guess it is now. I agree. I got it today & the tag says it's a size 10, however the price is in Australian & New Zealand dollars. I just hope that they make the ankles a bit slimmer because I can't wear high times for that reason - ankle openings are way too big. If they go to 17" I'm out. This is a publicly traded company, you don't have to "hope" that it "tanks," you can check in for yourself. I know they are. I was just on lulu website & looking at the size chart so I guess the AU size 10 is equivalent to US size 6, right? I quickly became frustrated with the sleeve length and inseam on other brands and now it seems lulu is trending that way.
