I guess you could size up and then get the rest altered... I have bought dresses from there meaning to do that, and they just languish unaltered. OTOH, since people layer in the winter, having that extra room may be a boon for sweaters, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-embroidered-coat-tight-armholes-and-sleeves#post-1743127 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 20:43:09 +0000 harmonica 1743127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on it.

Do you think size L would fit in the shoulders and upper back area?</p> <p>I could wear it, but don't think the armholes will stretch. I'm determined to be picky and save my money. It's a pity because the coat is really beautiful and fun, and I like the quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-embroidered-coat-tight-armholes-and-sleeves#post-1743041 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 15:30:25 +0000 Angie 1743041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try a size M, Monica?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-embroidered-coat-tight-armholes-and-sleeves#post-1743024 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 14:16:08 +0000 viva 1743024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manufacturers have such difficulty with arms!!! So sorry this one didn't work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-embroidered-coat-tight-armholes-and-sleeves#post-1743022 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 14:10:41 +0000 Meredith 1743022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sad! Such a special coat, but of course you are correct that it must be functional! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-embroidered-coat-tight-armholes-and-sleeves#post-1743020 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 13:48:52 +0000 Mirjana 1743020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right winter coat must have room. I don't know why Zara make so tight armholes I tried the cardigan and had the same problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-embroidered-coat-tight-armholes-and-sleeves#post-1743007 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 13:17:00 +0000 harmonica 1743007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This Zara coat came today, but I don't think I'm keeping it. The armholes feel a bit tight, so does the upper part of the sleeves. It's *not* because my upper arms are very athletic. If I size up I think it will be too large in the shoulder area.</p> <p>A winter coat must have room for layering. I tried with a chunky sweater under and I can wear the coat, but it's on the tight side. Why don't they make room for layering in winter outerwear? </p>
