De/influence my cart please! Should I size up/down in anything?

I recently placed my first order and bought three items - Daphne Skort in Admiral, Thesis Pant in black/multi and Original Contour Grace Halter Top in vintage navy. I love them all, especially the pants. This Crepette fabric is really nice. I really liked the vintage navy color too so I want to get the Lodge Pant in vintage navy. I’m between their sizes XS and 2XS, I got the Thesis Pant in 2XS and I want to size down in these too because I don’t want the leg to be too wide. Do you think it’s a good idea?
I also want something to wear with the Daphne Skort and I was thinking about the Shelly Cardigan or the Altar Bustier, not necessarily in the exact same colors as the ones in the shopping cart but I don’t know if it’s worth it or if they’ll go well with the skort. I’m not sure about the size either.
I wanted the Jules Jacket to go with the Thesis Pants and the Thesis Short because I liked the pants so much. The rest are contour tops.

Which of these items are worth buying and which aren't? Please heeeelp 🙏🙏🙏

First purchase

I recently placed my first order. I had a huge problem choosing the right size because I live in Europe and we have 0 Aritzia stores here. I’ve also never seen any of their clothes in person and I’ve heard there are huge issues with international returns… But luckily, it didn't turn out that badly.

I got:
Original Contour Grace Halter Top, vintage navy, size 2XS
Daphne Skort, admiral, size 00
Thesis Pant, black/multi, size 2XS

To be honest, the top is the only thing I really regret not buying in a larger size. Idk what I was thinking lol
According to their size chart, I should get an XS and I had an XS in my cart from the start. I really should have stuck with it but then I started reading various reviews and it made me overthink 💀 I calculated it and most people said to size down so I did and I regret 🤦‍♀️
It fits, it’s not uncomfortable, the material is soft but it makes me look so flat and boxy and I feel like I’m wearing shapewear which isn’t exactly what I was looking for. It’s the only and the cheapest thing so I don’t even have the enegy to deal with returning it and fortunately I can give this one to my mom and just order my size. The color is beautiful though!

For bottoms, I fall between their sizes 0/XS and 00/XXS. I ultimately decided to go with the smaller sizes because, at other stores where I fall between sizes, like Lululemon, the larger size always turned out to be too big. But honestly, after trying these on, I think a larger size might fit too, so next time I'll probably order a larger one to compare.

I was afraid the Daphne skort might be too short as I’m 168 cm but fortunately it’s not! I feel secure in it. Surprisingly, it's also quite stretchy and comfortable. Tbh I think it runs a little large? But others say it runs small so idk.

The Thesis pants are probably my favorite item from the whole order. Great quality, very comfortable and versatile but god… Whoever designed them must have been either drunk, out of their mind, or had never seen a woman in their entire life. That elastic waistband isn’t elastic at all. I have no idea how someone with even slightly wider hips would be able to fit into it. I don't know if it's just this particular color or if it's generally like that but I would recommend sizing up, especially if you have wider hips. The legs probably wouldn't be much wider, and they'd be easy to put on.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and the quality.

Phew… thanks to everyone who made it to the end.
I hope it’s helpful for someone!

The smallest XS I've seen in a long time

I think Bloch is my new favourite store for activewear. Their size chart says that XS fits a 61–66 cm waist and 89–94 cm hips but I think it runs small. As you can see, they all measure about 28 cm at the waist when laid flat. My measurements are 87-61-86 cm (34.25-24-33.85) and XS fits great for bottoms. For tops I usually prefer S because of my bust.
They also carry 2XS and they’re very consistent in sizing. So far, I've only tried on leggings and tops, but I definitely need to check out their other items as they also have clothes for everyday wear and underwear.

Where can I get a skort like this but a little longer?

I bought this skirt at Pull&Bear and it fits really well but I think I might be a little too tall for it unfortunately 😑 It looks okay from the front but it’s a bit too short in the back. I don’t know why the back is exactly the same length as the front. Usually with these kinds of mini skorts/skirts the back is slightly longer. Do you guys know where I might find something like this but a little longer?

For reference, this is a size 32, I'm 168 cm tall (5’6), a 61 cm waist (24’) and 86–87 cm (33.85-34.25’) hips.

The Lodge Pant and Thesis Pant in light colors - are they see-through?

I’m thinking about buying one of these pants in white or light birch. Do any of you have them in those colors? Are they see-through? I understand that these are light-colored pants, so they'll probably show through with dark underwear but are they still see-through when worn with beige/light underwear?

24 inch waist - size 23 or 24?

My waist is 61 cm (24’) and my hips are 86-87 cm (33.86-34.25’) so it looks like I'm between sizes at Aritzia. The differences between these sizes seem really small so I'm wondering which one would fit better. What size would you choose?

Aritzia sizing

Hey, what are your measurements, and what sizes of jeans and other bottoms do you usually wear at Aritzia?
I mostly wear XXS but in stores with more normal sizing that specialize in small sizes, I’m usually between XXS and XS. At lululemon, I sometimes wear 2/XXS and sometimes XS/4, depending on the style. My waist is 61 cm (24’) and my hips are 87 cm (34.25’) and I’m wondering what size would be best.

Please recommend some good shorts or skirts for jumping and gymnastics 🙏

I do artistic roller skating and I'm looking for something breathable, because it’s gotten terribly hot lately and I can’t stand it, preferably high-waisted and something other than tight short leggings.
Some of their shorts have extra leggings underneath like the ones in the photo. Tbh I really like these but I’m afraid they’ll be too heavy.
I have the hotty hots and shake it out which honestly work really well even though they only have this mesh panty-like lining but for more intense workouts with a lot of jumping, I’d prefer to have something that covers up a little more underneath.
Tbh the shake it out would be perfect if they had some normal fabric instead of that transparent mesh and that layer was only a little longer, like boy shorts length.
Does lululemon have anything similar that you could recommend?

I love everything about these pants!

Define Mid-Rise Track Pant Luon in light ivory, size XXS

They're super comfortable, flattering and you can style them in lots of different ways. These are my first lululemon pants of this type and I’m sooo happy and satisfied with this purchase! I’ll probably get another pair in a different color.

Some people just think everything is about them… This is crazy

I came across a post on Reddit where someone was literally complaining that another person had written in a listing for an XS skirt that her waist was too tiny for it. I get that the word “tiny” can give off a pick me vibe but really that sentence doesn’t hurt anyone and people in the comments started making fun of her and accusing her of bodyshaming fat people, while ofc bodyshaming her themselves.
The hypocrisy of some of those comments… as if shed personally insulted each and every one of them by saying her waist is tiny. But if someone writes that they’re selling something because its too small that’s totally fine. The funniest part is that they don’t even see the hypocrisy in their own comments.

Fortunately the post got removed for bodyshaming lol

Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Spaghetti-Strap Adjustable Cami - fit compared to Define Jacket or Align Tank?

I’ve been looking for a top exactly like this for such a long time and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, my usual size is sold out in every color and they don’t have it at the only store in my country so I can’t try it on.
I have the Align Waist-Length Racerback Tank in size 2 and the Define Jacket in size 2 (although I think I’d prefer a 4 next time for a jacket).
I’m wondering how this cami compares to other lululemon tops in terms of fit. Does it run true to size or would sizing up to an XS make sense? How fitted is it through the waist and bust?
And if you know of any similar tops but without a built-in bra, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.

Perfect elegant shorts!!!

I just found the perfect pair of elegant shorts at Mango. Im wearing a size 34 and I dont think I could fit into a 32 at all. The 34 is already hard to pull on over my butt lol They’re also available in other colors. Highly recommend!!!
My measurements:
Waist - 61 cm (24”)
Hips - 87 cm (34,25”)

Lululemon pants sizing

I went to Lululemon today and tried on two pairs of pants in size XS/4. My waist is 61 cm and my hips are 87–88 cm so size 4 should fit according to their size chart but it seemed to me that both pairs were a little too big. Unfortunately they didn’t have a size 2 in those specific styles at that store. I didn’t try on any others. I bought a size 4 jacket that fits great but I don’t know what’s going on with these pants lmao
They weren’t way too big but since I’m spending that much on pants I’d prefer them to fit perfectly.
I didn’t try on any other items. I think the size 4 skirts would fit but I didn’t try them on. I’ll definitely go back and check out more items because the jacket is great quality and I haven’t had a jacket that fit this well in a long time but I was a little surprised that the pants didn’t fit that well since most people here said that Lululemon is pretty true to size.
And now I’m wondering if I just didn’t try the pants on right lol or if the sizing for the pants is actually a bit too big. What are your experiences?

My manifestation worked but I don’t want it anymore… help?

I believe you don’t see posts like this here very often but I have a problem… A while back, I met a guy I really liked. He was interested in me but not enough for it to turn into a relationship so I decided to try to make it happen through manifestation. I manifested for about two months but it didn’t seem to work so I stopped and I got over it after a while. Later, I met another guy I fell in love with and we’ve been a couple for almost five months now.
Unfortunately, suddenly at some point, about 1–2 months after I started the new relationship, my manifestation regarding that first guy started working… At first, I didn’t worry about it too much but it got much worse once he found out I was in a new relationship. Since then, he’s been getting more and more annoying. I’m really sick of it.
It’s been 7-8 months since I stopped manifesting him, and I can’t seem to get rid of him. I don’t want anything bad for him, but unfortunately, it seems he’s really struggling with this situation and he’s getting worse.
Please help… How can I turn this around?

How to reverse an old manifestation that I no longer want?

I believe you don’t see posts like this here very often but I have a problem… A while back, I met a guy I really liked. He was interested in me but not enough for it to turn into a relationship so I decided to try to make it happen through manifestation. I manifested for about two months but it didn’t seem to work so I stopped and I got over it after a while. Later, I met another guy I fell in love with and we’ve been a couple for almost five months now.
Unfortunately, suddenly at some point, about 1–2 months after I started the new relationship, my manifestation regarding that first guy started working… At first, I didn’t worry about it too much but it got much worse once he found out I was in a new relationship. Since then, he’s been getting more and more annoying. He’s asking everyone if it’s true that we’re together and says he doesn’t believe in our relationship, that we’re definitely making fun of him. And it wouldn’t be such a problem if it weren’t for the fact that I have to see him once in a while. When we see each other, he tries to hit on me, test me, asks me about my relationship, and questions it at every turn. Before, he used to text me and ask questions, but luckily that’s over now.
It’s been 7 months since I stopped manifesting him, and I can’t seem to get rid of him. I don’t want anything bad for him and unfortunately, it seems he’s really struggling with this situation and he’s getting worse. He’s become addicted to Tinder and started hooking up with random girls.
Please help. How can I turn this around?

F/28/169 cm [78 kg > 53 kg = 25 kg] (3 years) Just wanted to share my progress

I just wanted to share this with anyone who needs some motivation. The first photo is from August 2022, and the second one is from today. Tbh I don’t know exactly how much I weighed back then, but probably around 78 kg. Now I weigh 53 kg and have maintained this weight for about 1.5 years.

When it comes to measurements it used to be:
Bust: 106 cm
Waist: 81 cm
Hips: 108 cm

vs now:
Bust: 87 cm
Waist: 61 cm
Hips: 86 cm

I didn’t really have any special diet or plan. I just found a sport that became my passion and I probably started eating better etc.
