I am a UK size 20. Does anyone know what Zara sizing is like. What is a XXL equivalent to?

I checked and a XXL is a size 18.

Does anyone know where I can get a plus size cotton leopard print dress. I checked all of the obvious places online line next, handm, m&s, new look, ASOS, yours clothing, and loads more places and there's loads of dresses in polyester and viscose and rayon materials but I am looking for a cotton dress in leopard print and it's impossible to find.

Lord knows! Zara doesn’t even know what half their sizes are, they’re pretty ridiculous.

EmilyBronte82 · 17/05/2024 13:12

Oh Zara is all over the place in sizing, huge voluminous dresses that you can’t get your arms in! But yeah I’d say XXL is an 18. But they can be quite big sometimes so worth a go!

Interested in this thread?

Agree, Zara don't even know what their sizes are. Being a Spanish brand they don't tend to run generous.

Probably a 10 if the sizing of the dress I have of theirs is anything to go by!

AgentProvocateur · 17/05/2024 13:15

OP, can you go into the store and try it on? I am a generous 14, but the last thing I bought in Zara was a S. 🤔

Zara sizing is bonkers! I don’t shop there as never seen anything to my taste, but my sister does. She’s a size 10-12 in most shops but she takes an XL in Zara, although she has a coat in size S from there which fits me (size 16 and big boobs) 😂

InTheRainOnATrain · 17/05/2024 13:16

Could be a 12, could be a 20. Zara sizing is a law unto its self. You can buy the same item in 2 different colours and find the sizing differs wildly.

My size 8 DD couldn’t get a size L dress to close in Zara. Their sizing is erratic at best.

If you want something I recommend you go try it on!

PatsyStonesBeehive · 17/05/2024 13:17

XS - 6
S - 8
M - 10
L - 12
XL - 14
XXL - 16

Thanks for the replies. I don't have a Zara shop nearby. I will skip Zara and keep searching for dress somewhere else.

Plus size - cotton - leopard print
If anyone finds a dress let me know.

Thanks

If it’s not too much faff to go into a Zara then I’d go in to try it just in case.

i don’t know Zara sizes specifically but I have found high street shops in general are all over the place nowadays!

in terms of offering options sorry haven’t seen any.

have you tried starting a thread in the style and beauty section some of them love a good hunt! Some of the threads get loads of links to places I’ve never even heard about

I’ve not seen the Zara one to know what it’s like, but there’s this one from Joanie clothing:https://joanieclothing.com/priya-leopard-print-puff-sleeve-midi-dress.html

That’s lovely! I love Joanie and I have found everything I’ve bought from there true to size, perhaps even a little larger.

huffyhufferson · 17/05/2024 13:20

Have you tried Fashion World, Simply Be, Marisota & J D Williams?
Might be worth a look. Good luck!

I just googled plus size leopard print dress and found possible dresses in Roman and Yours that might be suitable - don’t know how to add links! I did not check if they were cotton though.

i recently bought a lovely cotton maxi dress on Amazon from a company called Yesno, probably Chinese but is shipped through UK Amazon. It is really comfortable to wear and flattering for my very plus sized body. They have many different patterns and colours and I’m sure I saw a leopard print one - and go up to size 26 and above. I think it cost around £30.

I’m a size 16 (closer to a 14 than a 18 IYSWIM) and I wear Zara XXL.

XXL generally is a 16. I’ve just been noticing with disappointment that a few sites I went to for a look for your brief don’t go to size 20.

Can you put a link/picture to the Zara one that you like op? So we can have an idea of style/cuts you’re after.

I just like the leopard print and cotton and Zara had a leopard print cotton dress.
