I would love to be one of your models! I love your clothes and think the entire catalog is made just for me!
Does Athleta make any bikini or tank tops for us “athletic” types (i.e. flat-chested, I’m talking sub-A cup)? I’ve been buying your stuff for years but am always left with a lot of breathing room on my top half. Any chance there would be a line developed for us less-endowed women as there is for the D cups?
Hi Holly – Have you tried any of our Tow-In Tops? They are great for smaller bust sizes, they are sporty and they come with removeable soft cups. Also, for performance, I would check out our Ginger Reversible Tops. Please free to call our Customer Service Team at 877.328.4538 and they will be happy to help you find the perfect swimsuit!

pamela, thanks for nice comment and helpful feedback. If you’re on Facebook and want to share some fan photos we’d love to see how great you look in Athleta!

Do any of the women modeling the ski wear really know how to ski? I do. I think the clothes and photo shoots would look better if you used real athletes from that sport. I would love to see a broader line of athletics (beyond Yoga, eastern practices) celebrated by your catalog and website. There are some terrific women athletes headed to the Olympics that have great stories.
Karen, thanks for the feedback. Beyond the sports/fitness activities we showcase — yoga, skiing, stand-up paddle, surfing, running, cycling, triathlon, hiking, gym/training — what sports do you want to see?
All of our models are proficient in the sports we feature. Like our customers, most are involved in more than one sport. Many are instructors, some are active competitors, others are former competitors (collegiate or pro).
Hope this answers your question. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Athleta is a treat for me, love to look at all of the beautiful cloths and buy. Remember that not only size 0-4 buy and wear your cloths. Make sure to put women who are healthy and size 8-10 or larger in your photos. I’m sure you don’t think most of America women wear size 0-4.
Hi Jackie – we appreciate you taking the time to give us some feedback. We know that our customers/women athlete come in all sizes. We are working on expanding our Tall and Plus selection, and petites too!
Happy New Year!

I am so happy you carry almost all of your pants in TALL sizes. That is so important to me. I have almost quit ordering from Title Nine because they don’t carry very many pants in Tall. Love the clothes, but I find them expensive and try to wait for a sale. Then my size is sometimes gone.
Where were the winter pictures taken? Beautiful mountains.
Please consider carrying size 2 in TALL! I am so happy you carry tall (and petite) sizes now, but disappointed to see that size 2 has not, so far, been included in that line-up. Some of us gals have those slender long legs that would just love to snuggle up to the extra 3″ inseam. :) Thank you so much for considering, and for all your dedicated hard work for this company and raising awareness. Cheers.
Dear Michelle-
I am an adult figure skater. Returned to the sport after a 20+ year hiatis and currently compete in adult dance and train with the Olympic hopefuls. Adult skatewear does not exist! I would be glad to discuss this with you. We would all like to look great but have few alternatives!
Karen, that’s fantastic! Here’s a blog from another Athleta customer who was inspired (by Dana Torres) to pursue her dream of learning to figure skate at age 40: http://www.athleta.net/chi/2009/01/23/gliding-through-dreams-to-reality/
We’d love to hear your thoughts about what performance wear is best suited for your training, and are happy to make some recommendations.
