I managed to get to a store today and I found the newest Inkwell Gingham Wunder Unders I posted about earlier today, and they are really adorable. I'm just not sure they are very flattering on my more muscular legs as the print really accentuates curves and muscles. I need to think on them, but I'm really torn. They are also more prone to CT due to the darker seam, and the much less stretchy material - I didn't feel comfortable posting pictures here without a long top on! It's a luon blend of 49% Nylon, 43%Polyester and 8% Lycra Spandex. I got my usual size 10 (and have lost fair bit of weight since I last purchased WU's) and the 10's where pretty stiff coming on and compressive, not quite tight, but almost. They don't seem see thru, but it's hard to tell in indoor lighting at night. They feel quite different from regular luon because of the knit, they are thinner but opaque, and slightly rough (almost like Ebb and Flows but without the stretch) so although my other WU's in size 10 are a bit looser, I'd not size down in these ones mostly due to the camel toe that would surely happen so definitely a snug TTS. Once on I was surprised to find they were a little itchy, and I could tell that once I sweat in them they will be even itchier. I don't know, I need to try them on again tomorrow in day light and with a more open mind. I love how the print looks and how springy the print is. It will look so adorable with a cute pair of sandals and a tee...but not sure all the other nits I have with them are worth it. What a bummer!!! I was super excited about these ones.
I totally agree with ur review. I tried these on 3 times at a partner store & was very torn. In the end I decided not to get them because of the stiffness & fit on my thighs - I probably won't end up wearing them. Saving my $, still hoping for the ebb & flows!
ReplyDeleteDid they have the triangle gusset?
ReplyDeleteEverything seems to have triangle gusset these days. I'm suspecting yes based on lulumums concerns with mega CT. :(
ReplyDeleteThe tightness of the fit of a 10 makes me think that LLL is doing their darnedest to eliminate the bigger girls from their demographic :/
these are really cute. definitely want to try them, but like you said, I don't know how flattering they'd be. i'm a HUGE prepster, so gingham is right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that they do not flatter your body type.
ReplyDeleteI disagree, I think they make your body shape look like an hour glass and I think they are flattering but for that much $ I would want them to definitely be comfy!
