Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356731 Wed, 03 Apr 2024 11:41:26 +0000 unfrumped 2356731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good tips!</p> <p> I know my own body measurements but never remember things like sleeve length or across-chest measurements of my best-fitting tops, or jacket lengths- and not just “25”” but item-specific , so, “ this would fit sort of like my gray blazer”. And maybe a range, or what are the measurements of things I have or ordered that did NOT fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356729 Wed, 03 Apr 2024 10:33:19 +0000 lyn67 2356729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaaaand....IT WORKS!!!:-)) Thank you for the head ups! I never understood why they are not providing reviews- which can be also helpful-but this is a great tool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356526 Mon, 01 Apr 2024 13:17:21 +0000 cat2 2356526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a helpful thread. After accidentally buying an oversized blouse final sale from what used to be my favorite brand, I have been leery of purchasing anything from them. Hopefully this is a trend across brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356520 Mon, 01 Apr 2024 13:00:06 +0000 BrieN 2356520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Je Ne Sais Pas - I didn’t know that about Mango! I purchased the wrong size for a pair of Mango pants back in February from Nordstrom. I bet I could have looked them up at the Mango site. Really good to know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356516 Mon, 01 Apr 2024 12:54:05 +0000 RobinF 2356516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed that too! Such a great help for picking the right size. I haven't ordered a lot from there but need to keep that in mind.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356507 Mon, 01 Apr 2024 12:21:40 +0000 anchie 2356507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn’t notice that feature, but good to know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356468 Mon, 01 Apr 2024 01:16:38 +0000 Jaime 2356468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great to hear. I mean it is obviously in their interest to lessen the need for returns, but it also helps the consumer and generally reduces waste. Win, win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356463 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 22:26:01 +0000 Je Ne Sais Pas 2356463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mango has items measurements on their web page too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356461 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 22:08:49 +0000 Kate 2356461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's great to know, BrieN. I share your soapbox. Having precise measurements really does make such a difference in the fit—or not—of clothes purchased online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356457 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 21:16:42 +0000 Sloper 2356457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;Item measurements are the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356449 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 15:29:10 +0000 BrieN 2356449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, I am right there with you. I really like a lot of Zara clothing but their fit model is built waaaay differently than I am. That said, the things I have purchased from there I wear all the time and find the quality to be pretty amazing for the price point.&nbsp;</p> <p>I didn't know Boden also provides measurements!&nbsp; I will have to check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356448 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 15:28:35 +0000 Angie 2356448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info! Good to know </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356446 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 14:34:31 +0000 Chris987 2356446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I had no idea! Thanks for sharing this. I had given up on Zara because the one near me never re-opened their fitting rooms after Covid. They tend to carry trendy styles that don't work for me (high rise pants, wide leg pants, long jackets) so I've been unwilling to try online ordering.&nbsp; This is the best possible way for a retailer to describe the clothes they are selling online. Boden does it but I don't know of any others that do. Thanks again!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-at-zara-is-a-dream-come-true#post-2356444 Sun, 31 Mar 2024 13:42:37 +0000 BrieN 2356444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may be old news but I’ve recently stumbled onto the fact that Zara includes measurements for the majority of their clothing items. When you select add to bag you are taken to the screen where you select your size - just beneath is “see measurements” and low and behold they’ve included the exact (and I mean exact) measurements for the item in each of the sizes offered. Sleeve length, chest, hip, rise etc. </p> <p>In addition, above the size selection chart, Zara also has instances where they show what your measurements would need to approximate for each size. It’s clever and so much more helpful than the standard “the model is 5’10 and wears size 2” </p> <p>I started wondering a while ago why I do better with fit purchasing items on eBay or Poshmark and the like and realized it’s because I can get the item measurements from the seller. Over the years I’ve learned having my measurements written down in my phone is really helpful, along with the measurements for some of my best fitting clothing.</p> <p>Anyhow, I really hope this catches on to other retailers. It makes it easier to shop and I would imagine it would have to significantly reduce the amount of returns - something I do a lot of that I don’t feel good about. </p> <p>I’ll step off my soapbox now. </p>
