So here's the thing. I've realised that everything in my wardrobe that I wear regularly, from slim fitting shirts to trousers that fit over my hips without gaping at the waist, is from Zara. But I am sick of the cheap fabrics, loose threads, buttons falling off, and the general amount of bling in the store I want to get some new classic pieces, not fringed trousers or tiny cropped jumpers. And I suppose I feel a bit silly being dressed head to toe in my late 30s in one (slightly younger?) brand. BUT the clothes seem to fit me better than anywhere else, being tall (bit over 5'9'') and pretty slim but with a big bum/hips and a flat chest, small waist. The sizing guide confirms what seems plausible that hips are cut very generously relative to bust/waist at Zara (eg a size 10 is 35.5-27.5-38.5). Other stores I like, like Cos or Uterque or Whistles, do not fit me so well. Does anyone have any suggestions for brands (high street or designer could look in sale) that would suit a thinnish pear? Also should note that I don't have long legs height is in torso, making rises on most trousers too low. Would be especially grateful if I can get some new basics -- eg well-fitting slim black trousers, pencil skirts... Am just back at work after a baby and feel a tatty Zara mess.
