I ordered 2 things this morning .... I hope they fit, but they have free exchanges.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417915 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 17:52:04 +0000 amyreh 417915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say small, but I was just there and was a medium in tops and blazers and a size 6 in pants - I am usually a 4 or 6 so the larger size worked for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417904 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 17:43:05 +0000 Irene 417904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like all Spanish brands, Zara runs small compared to other countries' brands. If H&amp;M runs small for you, Zara will definitely run VERY small. I have to size down about two sizes when I shop at H&amp;M, usually, although it may run truer to size on some items. But usually, if I'm a Zara 38, I'll be an H&amp;M 36 or 34 on tops. On bottoms their sizing is American, so it doesn't count. </p> <p>Also, Zara to me runs bigger than MANGO, for instance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417855 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:30:14 +0000 DressLover 417855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, yes that was the one. I didn't think to check back on it and I guess I should have.</p> <p>CO, I didn't even see a sale section on the US site. I wonder if that was just to lure us in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417853 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:25:14 +0000 crazyone 417853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday they had a sale section with some nicely priced summer blouses that I've been eyeing all summer, is that gone now??</p> <p>Zara has free delivery, that's pretty sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417845 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:21:19 +0000 catgirl 417845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was it the dress you posted here? I never even saw it on the site so it must have gone quickly. That's sad because it was gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417843 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:18:00 +0000 DressLover 417843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, no. The dress I was going to give a go has vaporized from the site. Oh well. Seems to be the story of everything I have seen in the past few months.</p> <p>Work that Alaska time to your advantage when you can. It must be a pain contacting customer service people on the east coast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417842 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:16:48 +0000 catgirl 417842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so... my order went through, anyway. I only ordered a few things to try - I was tempted by a lot but so much seemed like the sizing would be an issue. Did you get anything? I'm sure it was a stampede this morning. The time difference worked in my favor for once! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417835 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:03:48 +0000 DressLover 417835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, did you get everything you wanted? I noticed many things disappeared from the site since last night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417830 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:53:29 +0000 catgirl 417830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so I ordered everything in a medium, because of my shoulders. We'll see - if nothing works, I'm okay with that. Sounds confusing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417809 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:59:34 +0000 DressLover 417809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and another weird thing about Zara sizing is in some items they only make certain sizes, but not others. Where most brands make all sizes of everything, Zara sometimes only makes an it in M and L, or S only or L only. It is really bizarre and no one has a concrete answer on why. Must be something to do with market research though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417806 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:58:21 +0000 rute 417806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Small for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417803 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:54:36 +0000 Sarah 417803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely runs small. And inconsistent, I'm afraid. Most of my tops are M, but dresses and jackets are L. I want to order some pants very badly but I have no idea what size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417720 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:35:22 +0000 Sona 417720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>smaller than us brands. their skinny studio line is amazing for pants that fit like a glove and hide every flaw. I wear a large in their tops usually but in the skinny studio trousers wear a medium due to high elastane content. These are bar none my skinniest pants in the way they make me look and feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417704 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:28:14 +0000 Jonesy 417704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From my one-time experience in one of their stores in the spring, I'd say they run smaller than H&amp;M. Certainly waaay smaller than the Gap, and smaller than J. Crew. I tried on maybe 10 things and nothing worked for me fit-wise (and a few things were of such poor quality, e.g., hems coming undone, that they weren't options for me). My SO, who is tall but quite slim and wears a men's M usually, found that none of the men's jackets fit him unless he sized up to an XL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417695 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 10:08:02 +0000 Anonymous 417695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara runs small even for European ( non couture) brands. And it's definitely better than H&amp;M , more clean lines, more sophistication, unfortunately also more expensive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417639 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 05:24:24 +0000 rae 417639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch, GP - that is no fun! I once had to cut a top off myself... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417620 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 04:17:19 +0000 goldenpig 417620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG MNsara, I had the dress all the way unzipped and still couldn't get it off...I was bent over, yanking it over my head--I couldn't pull it up and couldn't pull it back down. I have never felt so much like a sausage in my life! Ugh! So glad no one was there to see me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417605 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 04:02:45 +0000 MNsara 417605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No Zara help here, but LOL at goldenpig! I've broken out in a sweat trying to worm my way out of tight clothing in dressing rooms. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417599 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:55:28 +0000 Angie 417599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely small all round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417598 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:51:20 +0000 Kyle 417598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara runs small. I'd go up a size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417593 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:43:57 +0000 Marley 417593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely smaller than J.Crew and GAP. I almost always have to size up at Zara. But then, I have to size down at J. Crew . . . so what does it all mean? I have no idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417592 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:40:43 +0000 goldenpig 417592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At Gap I was mainly running between small and medium, and size 2-4 in their jeans. I went to Zara for the first time this weekend and tried a dress on in size small and couldn't get it off...I was totally stuck in the dress and freaking out in the dressing room! I thought I was going to have to tear it off LOL! The blazers seemed to run small too. So, from my limited experience, I'd say they run small. I was so traumatized I ended up not getting anything On the other hand, H&amp;M tends to run small for me too...there I mostly was size 8-10 in the tops &amp; skirts I bought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417588 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:34:24 +0000 DressLover 417588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller than US mainline brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417587 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:34:23 +0000 rae 417587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've only been in there once, too, but I'd say true to size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-sizing-small-large-or-tts#post-417584 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:33:05 +0000 catgirl 417584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have only been in Zara once, briefly, in Vancouver. How does their sizing run compared to, say, Gap, j. crew or other standard size places? </p> <p>Not that I'm considering anything... (ducks head) </p>
