Dear ZARA i love almost everything about you apart from...

[FluffyMummy123]

your FREAKY sizing.
Please sort

Zara I love almost everything about you apart from the fact that your clothes look great on first wear and crap after a few washes. Would pay more for stuff to last a bit!

Tops are sometimes very tight. Jeans are goof for me jackets esp fitted make me look like a stuffed sausage

good

Your clothes are so badly made it's a wonder anyone ever buys them.

Your shoes are oh so lovely, but oh so flippin high.

Their shoes only fit Sylvanian families

PLUS

to work there you have to be suprememely HACKED off ALL the time

Aaah - I do actually have a pair of ankle boots from Zara that I love.

YY to the freaky sizing.

But I forgive you because I love you.

don't they make the trousers super-long because it gives you the option to fuck them up with wonderweb neatly tailor them to your desired length?

Freaky freaky sizing. A large jacket didn't fit but a small top (from the same range) did. B@stards.

I got an AWFUL tshirt from there, the sleeve hems had no elastic in them so they were impossible to roll up/down. And I never buy trousers from there because of the insane lengths.

I agree with cybbo, always surly sales assistants!

I love the look of Zara clothes but they are not kind to people with norks.

I console myself by buying their shoes and handbags instead.

i was in there today and thought it was quite a bland shop

What Ilovepigs said

I find their sleeves really tight too & I don't think I have massive arms. Saw some nice lace tops in there last week but couldn't buy any as I couldn't get them on my arms

My love for Zara was born when living in Spain as it was all cheap as chips.

I still love it all - my favourite ever work skirt suit is from there and is worn regularly, you cannot beat them for trenchcoats, shift dresses or knitwear.
But yes - the sizes are random and the assistants are miserable (apart from on menswear actually, they are pretty helpful).

I love the way they always staple your receipt to your debit code receipt. No other shop does this. A while back, a miserable assistant went to do the stapling thing, only to find it was all out of staples....time stood still for a minute and I thought Armageddon was on its way. Everything went quiet and I'm sure the lights flickered. She asked me in a panicky voice if I'd be ok with the two documents flailing wildly without the security of a staple (or words to that effect), and you know what, I was.

Love you still, Zara.

I love Zara EXCEPT for their love of colours which suit Spanish brunettes not pasty Brits English roses. Chartreuse anyone?

lovely childrens skinny jeans though.

I have a fab winter coat from there but honestly zara lay off the bloody polyester.

Agree about the polyester, love the style of their blouses but its just so sweaty!!

agree some of the sizing is out
uber skinny mate tried on a v nice lace top - she got trapped in the thing it was so tight

I hate Zara. The quality is poor, the sizing is insane and I totally object to neeing a large to have a hope of fitting into anything (I am size 12). And the trousers are made for giraffes - skinny giraffes. And it looks like a jumble sale. And a polyester jacket I liked the look of (until I touched it and found that it was polyester) was seventy pounds. I've given up going in there.

needing

Yes. The way that most of the items I like there only seem to be manufactured in size Medium. Bizarre.

....the fact that the buttons always fall off your clothes.

....the fact that despite the Spanish not being known as an unusually tall nation, your trousers are ridiculously long- it is such a transparent ploy to get people to pay extra for your alteration service.

...the fact that when I do find something sturdily made, in a decent fabric, it will probably be beige, brown or maroon, and therefore hideous on me.
