The knitwear has been the only appealing look in tops, and I can only do so much of that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271965 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 04:12:59 +0000 rachylou 1271965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara pants don't fit me that well, I'll say that. Too short usually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271886 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 02:25:48 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1271886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I can't wear it either, at least not near my face. It looks nice in my hand though, on a purse or a cocktail </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271884 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 02:25:02 +0000 Suz 1271884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Angie an Ceit&nbsp;are referring to a red jacket that they both ordered from Zara, Vildy. And it had that kind of visible stitching in white (or cream) &nbsp;-- large stitches that look like tacking (you know, rough sewing just for testing a garment while you're making it -- intended to be pulled out) . This was detail on the outside -- meant to be decorative. But too fussy for Angie's or&nbsp; Ceit's style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271866 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 02:06:54 +0000 Vildy 1271866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enlarged the photo and stared at it - what is a tacking stitch? Where is it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271785 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 01:00:36 +0000 Suz 1271785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dashielle, thank you! Super instructive to lay them side by side like that. It is pretty much what I suspected from the photos.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, I can't wear lime. But I can wear white and off-white. So I think I know what I am doing here. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271665 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 22:57:57 +0000 lyn* 1271665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROFL - I ran into the "braless pixies" problem too - I just didn't put it as eloquently as you! Still lusting after that red skirt that Rute has though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271644 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 22:16:23 +0000 Angie 1271644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True, April. I'd feel far too naked - and COLD.</p> <p>Ceit, what is it with you and me and tacking stitch? It was such a gorgeous jacket otherwise.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, high five. Zara is one of the few places where I get a good fit. </p> <p>The lime and white jackets are a similar angular and boxy&nbsp;silhouette. Completely different colour and fabrication - and slight differences in styling.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271636 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 22:07:03 +0000 April 1271636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, no matter how pretty your bra might be, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't wear the top shown below.</p> <p>I'm beginning to see the problem here. &nbsp;It's tops I need, and tops that Zara is not providing for me this season. &nbsp;I have sworn off buying more jackets, and their jackets are, as usual, fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271580 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 21:12:38 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1271580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering that too Suz, so here's an illustration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271575 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 21:07:38 +0000 Anonymous 1271575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I hae been stalking that one on the US site!! I hope it makes it to Canada. I tried the tomato one but I just couldn't get over the tacking stitch, even though I loved everything else about it.</p> <p>I guess I am fortunate that I am most Often a Zara M! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271563 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 20:56:50 +0000 Suz 1271563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, what a great jacket. It's not available in Canada. Boo! (Not that I can wear that colour, but still....) Sometimes it takes a week or two for them to add it to the Canadian site, so maybe we will get lucky.&nbsp;</p> <p>How different is it to your white one in cut? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271543 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 20:35:53 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1271543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echo most everyone else on the quality. &nbsp;Tops never available in sizes suitable for a 38" chest, with or without bra &nbsp;Jackets are really good this year, whether or not the style "works" for me. &nbsp;I don't even bother with their pants, again, the larger sizes never available in store. &nbsp;That and you have to bring help with you to retrieve additional sizes or dress/undress multiple times. &nbsp;Love that pistachio jacket you bought&nbsp;<b>Angie. &nbsp;</b>Similar shape to the cream one of yours I also love, but the neckline is too high for me, so no twins for us, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271505 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:51:25 +0000 Neel 1271505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I was the only one with this problem! When I step into Zara I never ever find tops that are not deep/wide necked or super sheer or have huge arm holes. I have had good luck with bottoms, jackets and shoes though :). DH although found two tops for me (in his US trip) and I love both. Seriously .... How can that even happen?</p> <p>Mango on the other hand gets me and I love their tops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271500 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:47:39 +0000 Gigi 1271500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana and Deb, I am glad I am not alone on the polyester thing! I was just on Zara's website last night trying to find something. Every single item that I eyed had enough polyester content to be a dealbreaker. *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271495 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:43:24 +0000 viva 1271495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely buying a Zara coat this fall. I want to wear the heck out of a coat with a cool shape like rachylou's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271490 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:39:53 +0000 rachylou 1271490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this navy Zara coat at the start of spring, and I am getting just a ton of wear out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271275 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:40:26 +0000 Angie 1271275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, some of Zara's hectically oversized knitwear is only being made in one side - an M. I guess they believe that it doesn't matter how it fits. Well - does to Queen Pedantic About Fit. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271236 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:01:28 +0000 deb 1271236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I am with you on the polyester. Angie, the M size is one size fits all? I thought they were just out of the other sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271234 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:57:27 +0000 Diana 1271234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never love Zara for summer because they use so much sweaty polyester! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271217 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:37:19 +0000 Angie 1271217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I have to hold myself back&nbsp;from <i>not</i> spending hundreds of dollars at Zara each time I visit this season - which is weekly. Maybe I'm a braless pixie who wears pretty bras?&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a problem with their one size fits all knitwear at the moment though&nbsp;- which is size M. I drown in it. And I love high necklines - of which there are very few.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>I just bought this jacket though:&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271211 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:31:26 +0000 bella 1271211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I don't know about the online selection, but they always seem to have interesting stuff in store.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271204 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:25:04 +0000 sarah 1271204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another "NOT a bra-less pixie" here. I bought 3 tops but sent them back, as the fit was really off. But I find that about Zara often. Back to Nordstrom's for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271189 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:15:06 +0000 Nicole D 1271189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love all of the jackets and blazers that I saw on the website recently...but haven't seen any of them in person lately. &nbsp;I must say I love Zara designs but their quality is variable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271149 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 13:45:06 +0000 April 1271149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HH -- yes, and even if you were a candidate for bralessness, you'd need a fair amount of fashion tape to keep everything covered.</p> <p>Suz -- that's one of the 5 or so tops under which one could actually wear a bra. &nbsp;Very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271135 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 13:22:19 +0000 Jaime 1271135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is always that way for me with Zara - one time I want everything, the next nothing. The stock changes so fast that I know it will switch again soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271132 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 13:12:08 +0000 doubleh 1271132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was perusing last night and noticed the same thing! &nbsp;All the arm holes seem as large as head holes and the cuts make them impossible to wear with a bra. &nbsp;I have been wanting to give Zara a go, but came to the conclusion that they might not be for me. &nbsp;This summer anyway. &nbsp;Sorry, no help. &nbsp;But commiseration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271123 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 13:03:18 +0000 Peri 1271123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered two tops but sent them back from not liking the material, so I'm no help. Both were stiff and scratchy and hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-lately#post-1271119 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 13:00:03 +0000 Suz 1271119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am sort of a bra-less pixie. Not literally, but. You get the idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought this one.&nbsp;</p> <p>My problem with many tops is too-open necklines and lack of structure.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
