Continuing on with my series of Fat Activewear (Fat-ive Wear?), I'm reviewing one of my favourite brands. It was one of the first non-budget brand that I discovered that would fit me. In the pic below are all of the patterns of leggings I own. Most of these are no longer available on the website, but they always have some really cool patterns released.
Dharmabums:
Dharmabums go up to an XL, which theoretically translates into an Australian 18/20. I find this to be true of the leggings, which fit like Target straight-sizing. The sports-tops I find to be very small and I wouldn't recommend the XL to someone bigger than a 16 on top.
The leggings are really nice -- made with a lightweight and compression-like silky material. It's like a compression bra for my butt and gut!
They offer high-waist and standard waist cuts, with differing leg lengths. All of the leggings I own are high-waisted and this goes to slightly above my belly button. The full length leggings do go all the way to my ankle. Good for tall girls!
Dharmabums are better cut for pears and hourglasses, as I find the waistband rolls down on me sometimes. They also come out of the packet looking VERY small, but they do stretch a lot, and mould to the body of the wearer. I find that it took about 5 wears before I felt like I had "broken in" a pair.
At ~$80 a pop, these are not cheap options. But they are an Australian company and ethically made, really good quality, and come in really nice patterns in size fat.
These are some very cool leggings that you own. Though I do think that the price is expensive, it’s fine as long as you’re satisfied with their quality. I’ve also recently bought some great work out leggings from the local sportswear store which are very comfortable as well as stylish. They weren’t cheap, but also didn’t cost as much as the leggings you’ve mentioned.
