I'm 5'10 / 11, a size 12 with some baby baggage, so prob a 14.
Zara have a fab trench in stock - should I order a M, L or XL?!?
WDYR?

Ooh, I am exactly your size.

Link?

Medium is a largish 10 (depending) so maybe a large for you? I am a 10 and I would normally go for a medium but I don't like things to be too tight.

You really need to try on in zara as all the stuff varies hugely. I tried on a denim jacket and it was xl and I couldn't do it up (boobs) then tried a dress in a 12 and it fitted. Trousers in the teen bit fit me in a 14 but I am smaller in the ladies

lucykate · 17/03/2011 17:12

i am a 12, and am a large in zara.

trixymalixy · 17/03/2011 17:14

XL. I'm a (large) 14 and just about fit into XLs

trixymalixy · 17/03/2011 17:18

I'm a (large) 14 and just about fit into XLs.

It depends on your boob size, if they're large I'd go for XL otherwise L.

Prob better to buy both and send one back tho.

I am a size 10 and had to buy a L in a cardigan the other week.

My colleague is around a 14 and had to buy an XL coat.

Trousers are mega ling. Even at 5 10 you might have to take them up.

withagoat · 17/03/2011 18:16

trixymalixy · 17/03/2011 18:16

withagoat · 17/03/2011 18:16

yes spanish not exactly famous for being TALL

noddyholder · 17/03/2011 18:18

The TRF jeans are great for those of us who have been short changed in teh bum dept! They also have skinny thighs so look better than 'lady' jeans which look like jodphurs on me,they are long though! The t shirts are usually v tight on me unless a partic cut they do which is sort of in the bias otherwise am like a barmais

cyb · 17/03/2011 18:19

Is everyone who works in Zara Spanish?

Seems to be the case at my branch

cyb · 17/03/2011 18:19

noddyholder · 17/03/2011 18:21

Tis a nightmare to dress fine line between stylish and jordan!

cyb · 17/03/2011 18:22

Tis a dilemma I wish I had
