Grrr.... and ironically,look at the length! Won't work too well for a smaller woman, will it? She who sits right in the armholes will be swamped at the hem.

i so feel your pain! I have a local Zara and I don't even bother trying slacks there anymore because they are so ridiculously small...but once in awhile a jacket in XL fits me too. But for the most part I have given them up. I try to tell myself that it is not me, it is the southern Europe sizing, not made for a part German descendant like me.

Oh! I am bawling with you, Sveta. I just had the same experience with a customer and a Bailey 44 moto... I had no idea that it was not completely commonplace to run sizes XS - XL. Really, how is it logical for anyone to expect the majority of customers to fit only 3-4 sizes? 5 is low as it is!

So sad...(reaching for the box of Kleenex)...

Oh no! I hope this means that something even better is down the road for you, dear Sveta.

Oh no! So sorry to hear the coat did not work out. But now you know the color and style to look for. Fingers crossed for successful shopping when you search again!

This is painful. I'm sorry and hope you find your perfect coat.

I'm sad for you too, but luckily, those styles of coats are usually stocked in some department stores. I purchased one last winter that could be the twin of yours. I too need an XL coat, and it's hard to find one with the perfect shaping and fit over hips & slims, but buttons up top. I kept looking well beyond my *give up* period, and found mine on sale. Keep looking, don't settle, your coat is out there, just maybe not at Zara.

I'm sorry Sveta! That is very frustrating!

I feel for you. I have the same probem with shoes. It's very frustrating.

Oh, that is so sad. It is a beautiful, perfect coat. I love the color. Like Suz, I would take this to the top! Maybe there is a market somewhere where they sell it in XL (although if they did, it would be North America for sure, right?!). Grrrrr.

Sveta, I'm so sorry! I always have to size up at least one size in Zara, and I don't understand how anything in their xs can sell in Norway at all, there are few and far between in that size here. The coat had great potential, but not enough. Too bad! You will find the dream coat one day.

Maybe the brand I have in my red coat is better suited for you? It is called Ril's and is Finnish. I'd be delighted to help you find out more. Let me know.

Oh no. It *is* so beautiful on you. Foofy head.
