Hello fabbers,
These items are up for your suggestions for keep or return. This knit top from Zara. Same as Angie. This is medium size but feels too snug. Has Zara shrunk or have I expanded? This will be the second medium sized item that does not fit like it used to.
The second ones are BR city chinos. The hems on me look so much wider than other forum members. Tanya posted hers today and her hems were a lot narrower. If i size down, they will be too tight in the waist. What say you?

Hi Mona, I like the sweater but agree that it looks a bit too fitted. Could you exchange it for the next size up? It is not you, I think that Angie mentioned that it runs pretty small.

I like the BR chinos on you! I have actually rolled mine a couple of times, maybe that makes the hem narrower? Looks like yours are rolled only once.

If the chinos come in a petite I wonder if they might look narrower when you roll them since they would hit higher on your leg? That is if you can even wear a petite. I too, think the sweater would look nicer in a size up - it's the sweater not you

This outfit will be gorgeous on you if the sweater is just a bit bigger. The color is fantastic on you.

That jumper runs VERY narrow. Ignore that part - you are perfect. I don't think you can size up though - and this size is too snug. I vote return.

Have you tried a petite in the chinos?

The sweater only comes in S and M. I tried it and the M was too small for my liking also. It's not you, it's a small size run. That happens in zara sometimes.

I think a petite in the chinos would be worth a try.

Sad about the sweater sizing! It is not you -- you are lovely and it's a nice style on you. I also like the pants but think a petite would be worth a try if they have them.

If the petite doesn't work in the Chinos try BR Hampton pant. It is narrower.

I had been eyeing this sweater since Angie modeled on the blog. Oh well, not for me. Moving on, the sweater will go back.
The chinos are in fact petite. I sized up one size as I wanted a looser fit. I will try them once again with rolled up higher like tanya suggested and see if that works.

Mona it is not you. Zara sizing is unpredictable. I like the chinos and want to see them with another top!

I do really like colour of the sweater on you. Maybe something else in that colour will come along...

Mona, I think the peg roll style of rolling the pants will fix the issue - you can google it. The fit is fab otherwise.

Mona, as everybody else said it is not you but Zara sizing. I also was admiring this sweater but was sized WAY-WAY out of it
Try Tanya's suggestion to roll them once more - it will definitely make them narrower on the cuff.
