I believe that seam is there on the front and the back because it's double layered. You know, because that's Lulu's answer to sheer pants (said sarcastically, of course).
wow - just look at the difference between the fabric above that seam and below - below, the "embossing" looks SO sheer in comparison - no wonder they had to add a liner 'short'. Just adding insult to injury, Lulu.
I thought they were embossed fabric at first. Now knowing that they are actually mesh doesn't make the seam and "shorts" look any better. Regardless, these crops are just a big nope for me personally. Yuck.
@539 - thanks for the info - I had previously read that they were embossed luxtreme. That said, knowing that the look is on purpose doesn't make them any more attractive, IMO (I'm not a hot yogi, so there's no functionality in mesh legs for me). But regardless, it's definitely better mesh this time around ;)
has anyone tried on the agni crop yet, what's the weird thigh seam like on? Is it nbd or super unflattering? (for the more thigh heavy of us- size 8 in lulu leggings usually
I got the Agni crops - they do have an odd pair of knickers underneath them as they are very sheer because they're mesh all the way through. I do a lot of ballet so they look great for me as they look like shorts over tights which is your basic ballet look. But you really have to try them to see whether that is an odd look for you or not.
I'm not paying for any bottoms where the design was flawed from the outset to the extent that they have to layer it to be wearable. To a third party they look like a manufacturing defect and...they basically are. I think they would have looked cooler if the mesh gradually faded up the leg instead of being see-through on the butt and simply patched over.
This Agni crop is not bad, I like the embossed fabric. Why is that ugly seam there on the upper thigh?

DeleteI'm average size and the seam across the thigh makes cuts in and makes it look like I have four instead of two. Easy pass for me.

ReplyDeleteit's got mesh fabric panels. that's why it looks sheer at the bottom. maybe read the product description next time before just assuming things?
DeleteI think they would be great for hot yoga. Can't wait to get mine. I hope the seam will work for my thighs.
DeleteI was actually going to pass on them because of the seam until I read that they are mesh. But not the ugly net mesh!

DeleteI don't like the seam but I can resist trying them. They are so nice. I ordered.
ReplyDeleteLove the embossed; can't get over the "pant-shorts" though (aka that seam!).
ReplyDeleteAgree with you! The seam totally ruins them for me. Will not even try, I am not that desperate for pants, lol.
DeleteLLM wondering if your Indian Ocean LS loosened up at all. I've got my tts and it is snug just not sure if should go up a size?? TIA
ReplyDeleteI think it has. I've worn it 3 times now and it's much more comfortable.
DeleteDo you think sizing up would be wise?

ReplyDeleteThat swiftly is gorgeous in person! So thick and squishy!...but i'm still not paying $78 for it!

ReplyDeleteI didn't notice that seam before, but now that you mention it, I can't stop seeing it. Definite no for me now.
ReplyDeleteI hope I like the hot like Angi crops. Mine are expected to arrive on Monday and I just can't wait.
ReplyDeleteAny try on report on the agni crops?
