Wish me luck!

I just ordered this Zara dress. I really, really, really (really, really) love it, but my store only had XS (HA!) and M (snug in the hips most definitely).
The large is not to be found online or in my store, so I saw that the XL cropped back up online today.
Wish me lots and lots of luck? Please? O:)

Good luck! It really is gorgeous!

Wow, it's lovely, Sarah. It looks quite tapered at the hips, which is probably why you've had to size up. Good luck!

I was eying this same dress! You definitely have to make it work. So excited for you!

Oh, by any chance did you see this dress in person? I was curious about it too.

I didn't, I'm sorry! I had laser vision for the one dress only. It's too easy to get distracted in Zara, ack!

Ah, the suspense when you're waiting for an item that could go either way is just a killer!! Good luck and I hope it works out for you!

*laughs* I like that. Laser vision. I wish Zara would ship from stores.

I saw this dress in person and it is gorgeous. It is a loose waist surrender style, hopefully the volume will work for you.

It was definitely waist surrender, but the M was not hip surrender. Ack.

Beautiful dress. I am trying to stay off the Zara site after my recent huge order - but good luck!

Best of luck, Sarah. The print on that dress is fascinating. Hope that the XL fits, or that the Large turns up.

Good luck- gorgeous dress. If an XL fits you, I will just give up looking at anything at Zara myself, though.

Don't, Khris. I have things in every size from Zara. From small to potentially XL. Dresses and skirts fit me best in an L, but tops I can fit a small sometimes.
Their sizing is not consistent.
I have a jacket in a M...

Good Luck, Sarah! (LOL at "hip surrendering")

And go for it, DL!

**Is it too much to ask for sharks with freakin' laser beams attached to their heads!?**

Khris, never give up on any store. You know how inconsistent F21, H&M, Target, GAP, and on and on and on! Give Zara a whirl. I think you will love it. You can always post to ask if anyone has seen/tried a piece.

Good luck! You can probably get the XL cut down to fit you!

Alright, here it is! It isn't as big as I expected it would be.
I realize this length is not ideal for everyone, but it doesn't bother me.
Some of you wanted to see the dress, so here she is!

I love how flattering the color shift is on you, and how pretty your hair looks with it!

I can just see you having so much fun with this dress! You can wear it as is, or with black jeggings, or dark denim clams. The shoulders seem like they fit, how do they feel?

That turned out great! I love that dress and love it on you

Maybe you could have gotten away with an L, but it may also have grabbed at the hips. This one has that easy breezy fit that is so adorable on you. Can it work with leggings too?

This is great on you Sarah! Love it!

Oh, man, this is so pretty on you! I normally don't like waist-surrendering outfits, but I think this works. Because the shorter hemline puts the focus on your legs, the looser fit keeps it very classy. It looks like it drapes nicely in #1, too, and the print sort of makes the waist look smaller.

Seriously love this look on you! The colors are just perfection!!

I LOVE this! It's voluminous is the best way that balances out the short length of the frock.

May I be so bold as to suggest a chunkier shoe, Sarah?

Have you done the sit down test?
