That spotty Zara dress

[SmiledWithTheRisingSun]

It's in The Guardian today.
Does that mean it's too late to get one?

Yes. It’s naff now. Literally everywhere

Figured.

Why would anyone want one? It’s a shapeless sack. I don’t get it.

I got it last week fully expecting it to look shit but I’d heard all the hype and they had it online in my size and I wanted to at least try it on.

I bloody love it. It needs a belt though.

People love wearing it but no-one actually looks good in it.

It just feels amazing (acc to my friends who wear it but tbh don't look that great in it!)

I think if you're ten feet tall and a beanpole maybe, but it looks like a maternity dress to me

It's shapeless, a bit see-through & in a nasty fabric. It went back.

I don’t get the hype about this dress. They say it suits everyone but I have seen dozens of women of all shapes and sizes in it and very few looked great.

I wouldn’t bother. I have yet to see anyone in real life look anything above average in it. Different heights, sizes, body shapes: some look ok, some look like they are wearing a nightie or a potato sack.

Yikes it’s awful

That article shows women of all shapes and sizes wearing it, and it’s similarly unflattering on all of them. I think the theory that it feels so comfortable that no one cares what it looks like must be right.

That photo of four women wearing it. It flatters none of them. What is this trend for sack dresses at the moment? It's like everyone has gone Amish!

I don't like it. So it must be good!

Yuck!

I love mine

Lemonaddict did you size down? Not sure whether to go for M or S. Am 5 ft 7" and about 10 stone I think.

Definitely don't understand the hype but then noone could accuse me of being "fashion-forward".

*lemonaddict did you size down? I'm torn between getting M or S. I'm 5ft 7" and about 10 stone.

mizu I got XS, I’m 5ft 3, size 8 and tbh it could do with being a little smaller which is why I need the belt, I wouldn’t wear it without a belt.

It really does feel amazing and comfortable to wear. My DH is not known for sugaring the pill when giving his opinion while I’m deciding whether to keep or return clothes and he was like “yeah, it looks ok”. (I’d also ordered another white dress id seen on another S&B thread and his response to that one was “fucking hell that’s hideous”).

mizu, I’m 5’7 and 11 stone, and I wear a medium. It’s a lot less common than the bloody Next linen shift dresses that everyone on MN seems to love. I’ve had mine since Easter, worn it loads, it washes well. I saw it a few times in a London last week, but haven’t seen it anywhere else except Instagram in the last 4 months. Can’t understand all the frothing about it. It’s a loose, comfy summer dress, probably seen better, def seen worse. It’s nice.

I absolutely do not get the hype. And I agree with a pp, that photo in the Guardian flatters no one!

I'd look hideous in that.

All the women in that photo look awful. It looks like a sack. It's so unflattering. Just no.

I love mine and now I can’t wear it because every time I go out I see 10 people wearing it

I can’t, can I???

I have one and have only worn it once because I was so self conscious 😂
It was very very comfy to wear though and think it looked pretty good...I did have it shortened though

It’s everywhere. I don’t buy anything from Zara and even I have noticed it, I usually see at least two on my way from station to office.
