Fabletics is a monthly fitness apparel subscription co-founded by Kate Hudson. Recently, Fabletics introduced a plus size line of their fashionable workout gear! You can shop their line in two different ways—either you can shop through their regular store or sign up as a VIP member. The VIP Membership works like this:
- Take the Fabletics quiz, which will let the company know your size, style, and fitness needs.
- Each month, Fabletics will curate looks that match your preferences. According to the website, outfits start at $19.00 for new members. (I'm not sure if "new members" refers to just your first order, though.)
- Shop those looks at 40-50% off what you'd get just paying retail, or skip the month. You have to make your decision by the 5th of the month. If do neither, the $49.95 monthly membership fee will be saved to your account as a credit, which you can put towards other outfits later.
- As you shop, you'll also earn points that can be applied to accessories and other cool fitness essentials.
Unlike a lot of other subscription boxes, you are not automatically sent a package each month. You have to go into your account and either decide to add items to your card or skip it. Subscriptions can be canceled at any time, though you do have to call into Fabletics customer service to do it.
My Subscription Addiction paid for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Subscription Box: Fabletics VIP Membership
The Cost: $49.95 a month. This price goes towards the cost of the outfits curated for you. The cost of outfits varies, but you'll only be charged for what you choose to actually buy. If you want, you can choose to skip the month, and you won't be charged. If you don't spend your $49.95 nor choose to skip, Fabletics will charge you the $49.95 and just save it as store credit for you to use later.
LIMITED TIME DEAL: new VIP members can use this link to get your two pairs of leggings for $24!
The Products: High-quality, on-trend athletic clothing curated to fit your size, style, and needs. Think leggings, tops, shorts, and outerwear for yoga, running, and all kinds of other workouts. Fabletics is targeted towards women, primarily, but they do offer workout clothes for men, too!
Ships to: Free shipping to the contiguous United States when you spend $49.95 or more. $4.95 flat rate shipping if you spend less than that threshold. $9.00 to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and APO addresses. $5.95 VIP rate to Australia, or $9.95 otherwise.

For whatever reason, this month didn’t include an invoice like the previous month’s order.
Helena Tank in Black, Size 3x - Retail $39.95; VIP Member Cost $24.95
Savina Leggings in Black, Size 3x - Retail $79.95; VIP Member Cost $49.95
This month, I opted to get mix and match pieces rather than a preconceived set. I wanted to get an all-black set this time for the versatility since I could wear the pieces separately and even pair with my workout ensemble from last month’s review.
Helena Tank in Black, Size 3x - Retail $39.95; VIP Member Cost $24.95
I decided for this month’s selection that I wanted a longer top than the sports bra I selected last month. When I saw the flattering sweetheart neckline detail, I was hook, line, and sinker for this top. The length is a bit long, but ideal for working out since I won’t have to be concerned about it rolling up. The fabric has fantastic stretch as well. You won’t have to worry about tugging down on this top at the gym. The mesh is a really sporty and edgy detail that nicely complements the romantic sweetheart neckline. This top is cute enough that I would even wear it outside of the gym on errands.
Savina Leggings in Black, Size 3x - Retail $79.95; VIP Member Cost $49.95
I was eyeing up mesh detailed leggings at first, but when I saw this pair I had to have them! Why do you ask? They remind me of something Peg Bundy would wear to the gym if she was able to be pried from her day of scarfing up bon bons on her couch for a cardio session. I would wear these to the gym and probably out and about--they are that adorable. The material is thick, stretchy, and very flattering in how it hugs your body. The waist is high too, which I prefer for my workout gear and streetwear alike. Your back end will be well hidden in these leggings for sure; no constant pulling up will be necessary. These leggings are ace!
Verdict: I am loving Fabletics! I saved $45 with my VIP membership for these two pieces--- which is pretty fantastic! The cost is higher than what you may pay at Target or Marshall's, but the quality and price is comparable to competitors like Lane Bryant’s Livi line. I like the selections thus far and that they have a lot of similar styles in plus and straight sizes, but I am eager to see it expand even further. The plus size line is fairly new and I hope to eventually see ALL items across the board in plus size options.
