I tried Ellie, while I liked their stuff. I found their pants fit great but the tops were tooo small, plus I am not a tight tank top kind of a gal.
My difficulty with Ellie was the exchange process it took way too long to send back and exchange items. I felt I could have gone to Target and got a similar C9 top in the time it took to exchange with Ellie.
I'm mostly interested in Fabletics for pants, I wear the same two or three pairs to the gym but they wear out quickly. I have plenty of tops for the gym and usually end up wearing the same ones over and over so some variety would be nice.
So, I took a survey about my Fabletic's experience and one of the questions they asked was how important it was to me that my pants made my butt look good. (Yes, really.)
This, along with every review I've read and my personal experience leads me to the believe that Fabletics is definitely focusing on pant styles and materials that are going to mask problem areas and just make you look great. I think that's awesome ... but a side effect is that a lot of the material is somewhat thick and the sizing is generally going to feel a little tight. (Got to squeeze in the problem spots!)
Now, I love the leggings I got and they are super flattering but they are not "lounge around the house in a t-shirt while wearing" sort of comfortable. Just something to keep in mind - definitely size based on the inches and not your number size and round up instead of down. Hope this helps!
