I’ve just started wearing lulu within the last year and love my bend/scoop bra in chilled grape. So I bought a pair of secondhand chilled grape 28" aligns online to match (since they currently don’t have the full length aligns in this color) and I am really confused about the material.

I was expecting to wear them as a set but these aligns are made with visibly different material than my other align leggings and shorts (and bend scoop bra). They are suuuuper stiff, and while just a single layer, manage to be thick enough to the point where it doesn’t look flattering at all because it bunches up so much.

Are these an older style of Align? I guess I expected them all to be buttery soft and smooth but I really hate the material on this pair 😅
