With regard to Zara-sizing, I think Zara runs small. I'm an 8 (8 petite, if I can find it), slash medium, but in Zara I have to get L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226760 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 21:49:18 +0000 Ingunn 1226760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the size of the sweatshirt looks right on you, Janet. Have you tried it with high waisted skirts or pants to compare? It is beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226738 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 21:22:29 +0000 AndiB 1226738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweatshirt is photoshopped on the model. The band is gone and it cuts straight across. No wonder it doesn't fit right! I see that more and more </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226736 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 21:13:58 +0000 amiable 1226736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweatshirt is gorgeous! &nbsp;Wish they weren't sold out of my size.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226648 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:03:51 +0000 Janet 1226648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really weird, pil, isn't it? I'm short waisted, and I'm shorter than 99% of fashion models (don't they start at 5'7"?), so it's pretty doubtful I'm taller than the model. That sweatshirt definitely seems to hit her lower than on me. We'll see what happens with the next size up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226645 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:01:20 +0000 pil 1226645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The model must be shorter than you, doesn't the sweatshirt hit lower on her? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226642 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 18:59:23 +0000 Anonymous 1226642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, I would try sizing up on the sweat shirt. Angie's right.. it does remind me of your lovely photographs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226637 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 18:56:27 +0000 Janet 1226637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rachy. I'm going to do that -- I have a feeling it will be more comfortable that way too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226635 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 18:55:50 +0000 cciele 1226635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it definitely hangs differently on the model. I really love that sweatshirt on you though, so size up and give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226629 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 18:52:45 +0000 rachylou 1226629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try the next size up, if only for comparison, so you know for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226575 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:35:25 +0000 Janet 1226575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, here's the sweatshirt on Zara's website. Definitely roomier on that model. I know, I'm not built like a model, but I was expecting a bit roomier fit on me too. This is why I'm wondering if I should try the next size.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/t-shirts/printed/long-sleeve-sweatshirt-c401008p1738036.html">http://www.zara.com/us/en/woma.....38036.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226570 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:32:30 +0000 Janet 1226570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the opinions, varied as they are!&nbsp;</p> <p>Yeah, I'm looking at this again after dealing with some dreaded paperwork (being a landlord can be such fun!), with a clearer mind.&nbsp;</p> <p>I *like* the tee, but I don't love it. Back it goes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the sweatshirt but was unsure of the size. Angie, you don't think I should size up? The thing that worries me about your suggestions is that I I don't own roomy high-rise anything. Pencil skirts are a possibility, or perhaps a drapey flared skirt, although I donated my solid black flared midi a couple of years ago because it felt stale. Figures, now it would probably feel fresh again. I do have a black high-low hem drapey jersey skirt. Or maybe the black and grey stripe VC tube skirt?&nbsp;Layering over a tank is a definite possibility.&nbsp;</p> <p>Either way, with the sweatshirt, I think I would need to play with some stylings before deciding. The cropped length requires a little more work than if it were a regular length for short-torsoed me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226485 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:12:32 +0000 Anonymous 1226485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no wisdom but have the same problem about sizing and logged on to ask for opinions on similar fit issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226484 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:12:24 +0000 Angie 1226484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweatshirt, but it needs a flared skirt, pencil skirt, or roomy high rise bottom. Or layer it over a shirt. It reminds me of your stunning photography, Janet.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote nay on the tee. It's okay. But nothing special to my eye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226479 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:07:47 +0000 Diana 1226479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tee, agree that it looks fashionably oversized.</p> <p>The fit on the sweatshirt is odd... I suspect it would be best with a skirt rather than pants.&nbsp; I actually want it to be MORE cropped.&nbsp; Not sure this is worth it, but I would be tempted to actually remove the bottom band and hem it up like a real crop top (to wear over a longer, loose layer).&nbsp; Removing the band might also make the fit look more oversized, as I think it's the band that's making it look too small right now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226477 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:07:16 +0000 deb 1226477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of #1. I think the other is cropped. The sleeves look fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226474 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:04:10 +0000 ironkurtin 1226474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find Zara sizing baffling at times!</p> <p>I think the tee looks fashionably oversized and the sweatshirt is too small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons---your-opinion-needed#post-1226470 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:58:23 +0000 Janet 1226470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes I have a hard time telling whether something looks fashionably oversized or just plain too big. Exhibit A (pics 1-3) is this printed tee from Zara. When I look at the shoulders, I think I should try the medium (this is a large). What do you think?</p> <p>Then there is the question, is it cropped or just too small? Exhibit<br /> B (pics 4-6) is the sweatshirt. It looked so roomy on the website! And I love the print so much! I ordered a medium but I think I need a large -- but then I fear the shoulders might be overwhelming? I'm ok with a tiny little sliver of skin showing at the midriff but this might be too much once I move around in it. </p> <p>What do you think? Try new sizes in one or both? Move on to the next thing? </p> <p>Ignore messy hair and lack of styling. It's housecleaning day! </p>
