Girlfriend Collective Sale: What's Actually 70% Off, and What It Costs at Full Price

Disclosure: Bubblelime (bubblelime.com) is a leggings brand connected to this site's publisher. Treat mentions of it on this page as promotional. How we make this.

Quick answer — Girlfriend Collective's 70% off group is real, it is deep, and it is almost entirely tops. A bodysuit that lists at $78.00 is $23.40 in nearly every size from XXS to 6XL. The leggings in the same group look like the headline deal at $29.40 against $98.00, but only XXS, XS and S are left, so for most people the legging half of this sale does not exist. Everything at 70% is final sale.

What is actually 70% off at Girlfriend Collective?

Twenty-six products, and they cluster hard. Three bodysuit styles in five colours each account for 15 of the 26. Here is the whole group, grouped by style, with the size-and-colour combinations we could actually add to a cart when we re-read the feed on Sept. 20.

Read the buyable column before the price column. The bodysuits keep four out of five combinations on the shelf. The leggings keep one in nine. Four days on, those two ratios are unchanged — this group is not selling through, it is sitting.

Can you return anything in the sale?

No. Every one of the 26 discounted products carries a final-sale flag in the store's own data, and the product page says so out loud — the Kiwi Foldover Legging page reads "$29.40, $98.00, Save 70%, Final sale" in that order. Girlfriend's standard terms, printed at the foot of the same page, are 30-day returns and exchanges on US orders, and free shipping over $100. Neither applies here: the sale items are excluded from returns, and nothing in the group costs enough to clear the shipping threshold on its own.

That changes how you should shop it. A $23.40 bodysuit you cannot return is only cheap if the size is right the first time. Girlfriend runs XXS to 6XL, which is a wider ladder than most, and its sizing does not line up with other brands — a comparison of the same XL at CRZ Yoga and Girlfriend Collective found two inches between them. Measure before you commit. Our own final-sale rules guide covers how eight stores handle this.

Why are the discounted leggings nearly useless?

Because of who is left. We broke the four cut leggings down to the individual inseam-and-size combination, and re-checked every line on Sept. 20:

Eleven combinations, unchanged in four days, and the largest size anywhere in that list is S. Nothing in M or above, in any colour, in any inseam. If you wear M or larger, the legging part of this sale is closed, and it is worth knowing that before you click through a "70% off leggings" banner.

The bodysuits are the mirror image. Across the three styles and 11 sizes, every single size from XXS to 6XL has between 20 and 26 of its 30 style-and-colour combinations in stock. The size ladder holds all the way up. Whatever emptied the leggings did not touch the tops.

One quirk worth flagging: the Meredith Bow Tank is down to XXS, XS, XXL, 5XL and 6XL. The ends of the run survived and the middle sold out, which is the usual shape of a picked-over clearance and the opposite of what the bodysuits look like.

What do these leggings cost when they are not on sale?

A lot. This is the number that makes the 70% look dramatic, and it is real.

A detail we would want pointed out to us: the discounted Kiwi and Dragonfruit Foldovers show a $98.00 crossed-out price, while the same style in black, eucalyptus and skyline sells for $108.00 today. The $98.00 is that colourway's older price, not a fabricated list. It still means the honest saving against what the style costs right now is $78.60, not $68.60 — in your favour, for once. If you want to check a crossed-out number yourself, four quick checks will do it.

Inseams matter as much as the size here: Girlfriend sells 23.75, 28 and 31 inches, and the sale leaves you almost no choice between them. What each length actually falls at is mapped in a height-to-inseam guide.

Is a $23.40 bodysuit the better buy?

On the numbers, yes, and it is not close. The bodysuit is the deepest absolute saving in the group, it is stocked across the whole size run, and it is the one thing here you can buy without gambling on a size that has almost sold out. The leggings are a better-known product at a more eye-catching discount and a worse actual offer.

If you are here for leggings specifically, treat this sale as a signal rather than an option: Girlfriend's compressive line does reach $29.40, so a full-price $108.00 pair is not the only price this brand ever charges. Our buy-price table sets a target for each store.

What does $26 to $32 buy somewhere else?

Girlfriend sells direct. A camelcamelcamel search for its compressive leggings returns no Amazon listing at all, so there is no Amazon price history to compare against — only other brands at the same money. Amazon figures below were re-read Sept. 20 at 1:33–1:35 a.m. ET; the fourth column is when each listing last changed price, not when we looked. The Target and Walmart rows we ran on Sept. 16 are dropped here rather than carried forward, because we did not re-check them today.

The honest reading: at $29.40 the Girlfriend legging is priced like an Amazon mid-tier pair, not below one, and you give up returns to get there. Two corrections to what we published on Sept. 16. The embossed Bubblelime pair we quoted at $16.00 is $28.98 today and out of stock in the sizes we checked; a 29–37 inch bootcut from the same store took the $16.00 slot for a while, and on Sept. 27 it went back to $32.98, so there is no Bubblelime pair under $30 at its own store as of Sept. 28. And Senita, which we described four days ago as having pulled its sale within 24 hours, was the cheapest door in this table on Sept. 20 — 466 of its 852 listings below list, with a multi-length Vinyasa legging at $17.50 against $45.00. By Sept. 25 that had shrunk to 257 of 844, and the cheapest multi-length Vinyasa is $25.00 in one colour. Different problems for different bodies, and a cheaper one than this sale for most of them. If your issue is length rather than price, we keep a tall-inseam price check and a flare and bootcut board.

So is the sale worth it?

For a bodysuit, yes, at almost any size. For a dress, maybe — 18 of 55 combinations are left, so check yours before you plan around it. For leggings, only if you wear XXS, XS or S, and only if you are certain about the inseam, because you cannot send it back.

The thing that makes this group unusual is that it is holding still. Fifteen days now, Sept. 14 through Sept. 28, and not one of the 2,558 Girlfriend listings has changed price. One tank lost one size. Compare that with Senita, which pulled a 134-bra sale within 24 hours in mid-September and has since put more than half its catalogue below list. A sale that does not move is a sale you can think about overnight; a store that moves this fast is one to check the morning you buy, and that is what the daily board is for.
