AND - it happened durinf work, which was qiuite embarrassing...</p> <p>On the other hand I love Zara´s style and have top quality pieces that go strong for many years.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819978 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:13:45 +0000 cinnamon fern 819978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In contrast, my cheapo Express pants - one of my first YLF purchases - have been worn at least once a week for the last year and still look new. Hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819961 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:00:23 +0000 Astrid 819961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad! I hope they weren't too expensive. My black workhorse skirt is from Zara and it's still great after getting a lot of wear (although I had to close seams twice in the beginning). But I haven't found anything there since. I always feel like most of their clothing is falling apart when I just look too closely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819887 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 12:19:27 +0000 Ornella 819887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*gasp*</p> <p>Sorry about this, I can only imagine the frustration! I am one of those people that Zara never grew on, a few things I bought in the past and were total misses had put me off. My sister, on the other hand, adores the store and can always find something.</p> <p>But Angie's story about the blazer and seams not even being overlocked - that is just nasty IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819851 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:54:17 +0000 rute 819851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot of problems with their clothes too! The cardigan look old after wearing them for about 8 times, I had 2 blouse that shreded after 2 wears! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819746 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 04:26:43 +0000 Amy 819746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure your alterations lady knows what she's talking about. That's too bad </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819712 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 03:34:38 +0000 Angie 819712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Amy! My alterations lady said it was beyond redemption, but by all means have a look :)</p> <p>You are right, Diana. I want a more tuxedo looking blazer so the lace printed Bellatrix isn't quite right. But thanks for the suggestion. I bet it looks just great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819706 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 03:31:26 +0000 Amy 819706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's a bummer! I hate it when garments show wear and tear after only a few wearings.</p> <p>Angie, could those seams be restitched? I would be glad to take a look at it for you...I have a serger and know how to use it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819543 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 01:16:00 +0000 catgirl 819543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my camo harem pants have started to pull apart at the seams, and they are baggy on me! The fabric is slippery and should have been overlocked or had trim put on it to prevent disintegration. FIE on poor quality - it's not like they were cheap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819530 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:58:00 +0000 Anonymous 819530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked at the website and I don't see much in my size...YET! Maybe in a few months when I get some of this weight off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819515 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:48:22 +0000 lyn* 819515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Zara jacket is still holding strong; but I expect it to after only 3 weeks :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819242 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:15:55 +0000 cciele 819242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally sympathizing with you here. My only Zara piece, camo harem pants, are starting to come apart at various seams after a handful of wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819162 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 17:15:26 +0000 Diana 819162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, gah. I do not have many items from Zara because, although I like a lot of their styles, the quality does not seem commensurate with the price to me. I don't think it's really any better quality than H&amp;M but the prices are around twice as high. </p> <p>Angie, I'm so sad about your blazer! I remember when you bought it. Have you tried the Bellatrix lace print one at Nordie's? It might be a good substitute... I tried it on when I was in CA and was pleasantly surprised. I might order it. It looks a lot better IRL than it does on the model photos online. (But it might be too short for your taste.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819158 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 17:11:25 +0000 cinnamon fern 819158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your sympathies! Whitney, there aren't a lot of Zara stores in the US but they are great for online shopping. I will continue to buy stuff from them even though I'm annoyed about these pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819126 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:40:45 +0000 Anonymous 819126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm I don't know what Zara even is. I will have to explore </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819124 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:38:43 +0000 Lisa 819124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about the quality issues. I like Zara's clothing (and Ann Taylor Loft's) but rarely shop at either store because I haven't had lots of luck with their quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819064 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:02:22 +0000 Thistle 819064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never bought from Zara as there are none close, but I have heard the same thing. Quality is very hit or miss. Hopefully they were inexpensive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819063 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:01:26 +0000 Angie 819063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I can rant with you. My grey patterned floral blazer pictured below - which I LOVE - has fallen apart and torn everywhere because the seams have slipped and they never overlocked the seams to start off with. And it's a fully lined blazer. Infuriating. I've worn it maybe 8 times. </p> <p>But I still love Zara and shop there. Their quality is not all bad. It's just *very* inconsistent. I have blouses from Zara that are 7 years old and still going strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819057 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:59:25 +0000 Mochi 819057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah. Too bad. Angie has said that quality for Zara is very hit-or-miss. I hope the trousers didn't cost too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/venting-about-zara#post-819053 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:56:39 +0000 cinnamon fern 819053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My black brocade pants, which I have worn all of four times (and washed twice) are starting to pill! I don't expect the best quality from Zara, but this is ridiculous. Aaargh! </p>
