Art of Where Yoga Leggings Review

Author's Rating - 4.7 /  10

I am reviewing two pairs of leggings today. Deliver to Another World Legging is a direct purchase from ART OF WHERE.  The other pair is Kelly Wide Waistband Capri, which is  sold by REP Active Art but manufactured by ART OF WHERE.

Top: Lululemon, Size 4 (true to size)
Bottom: ART OF WHERE, Deliver to Another World Legging, XS (true to size)

Top: Lululemon Free To Be Bra*Wild, Dottie Dream, Size 4 (true to size)
Bottom: REP Active Art, Kelly Wide Waistband Capri, XS (true to size)

PROS /  The prints of Kelly Wide Waistband Capri and Delivery to Another World Legging are amazing. The fabrics are breathable and fast dray.
​
CONS / They are see-through and fabrics are not stretchy enough for yoga. Seams get stretched out badly, especially in the crotch and rear areas. Lastly, the waists are sitting uncomfortably high.

​BOTTOM LINE / I have to give the designers, who create these beautiful prints, 10 stars; however, I don't consider these leggings as yoga pants. The quality is OK but performance does not meet the bar. The fabrics are soft, but they are see-through and lack of elasticity.

Deliver to Another World Legging Review

​I ordered Deliver to Another World Legging directly from ART OF WHERE and Kelly Capri from REP Active Art, owned by Dr. Ruth Penten Polson. She is not only an artist but also a dentist. Her artwork (canvas pieces) are being sold in high-end home+interior boutiques in Birmingham, Alabama. In November of 2016, she transformed her artwork into activewear and created REP Active Art. Based on the similarities (fabric, seam, cut and fit) between these two leggings in addition to the same manufacturing labels, I believe that REP has the capri made by ART OF WHERE. 

You can clearly see in the pictures above that both pants have the same manufacture labels.

​Let's take a closer look of these two yoga pants.
​
1. Size – I wear size XS. The hip and waist fit snug, but the bottom hem is loose, especially for Deliver to Another World Legging.

2. Style – ​​Full length legging.

3. Inseam – 29" long. I can wear it over the heel.

2. Style – ​​Capri (more like a 7/8 legging on me).

3. Inseam – 21" long, sits right below my calf.

4. Front Rise – 10.5" high rise for both pants, which is similar to Lululemon Wunder Under High Rise Pant; however, these two pairs sit way above my navel.

​5. Waistband – 4.75" wide waistband for both pants.
​
Although I love high waisted leggings, these two are way too high. They sit 1" above my navel, right below the rib cage. With such high rise, of course, waistbands roll down as I move. Also, they are not very comfortable, too much pressure on my belly.

​6. Fabric – 88% Polyester, 12% Spandex. It is breathable and dry fast. The fabric is thick but see-through. Since Deliver to Another World is darker than Kelly capri, the underwear is not as obvious.

I do a transparency test with these two pairs in comparison to Liquido Patterned Wild Darling Legging, which is lightest color among the three. Liquido Wild Darling Legging is 100% opaque whereas Kelly Capri and Deliver to Another World Legging show the shade of the underwear. Note: I wear the same underwear doing the same asana and the lighting is also the same in the pictures below.

7. Design for – I wear Kelly Capri for HIIT exercise at home the other day. It is breathable and quick dry. Due to lack of elasticity, I would not recommend to wear these two leggings to yoga.

8. Cost – If you order from ART OF WHERE, it costs $55. REP Active Art charges $98 on its website, which is overly priced in my opinion. 

9. Stitch Seam – Plain seams. 

Liquido Leggings also have plain seams, same as Kelly Capri and Deliver to Another World legging; however, I do not see any seam being stretched out like the two pairs from ART OF WHERE. That tells me either fabrics or threads are not stretchy enough to support dynamic yoga movement. When seeing seams being stretched out after two hour wear from walking, I don't dare to wear to yoga. Can you image what will happen in Hanumanasana (Monkey Pose or split)?

​10. Crotch Seam​ – No gusset.

​
​The prints of these two leggings is phenomenal, which is probably the only thing I like. Even though the quality is not bad, the performance is horrible. First off, who wants to wear see-through yoga pants to class? Regardless how much I love the prints, they are just elastic and semi-stretchy pants. The poor performance shies me away. These two pants are my first purchase from ART OF WHERE and will also be the last two unless the performance is improved.

Society6 is another company providing the same service as ART OF WHERE. I see lots of beautiful printed leggings on its website with an attractive price ($39 each), but I am skeptical about the performance and quality. I find one review on Reddit, which is not positive (the leggings are see-through). If anyone else has tried leggings from Society6, could you please share your feedback? I would love to hear from you.
