What the hell size do they think women are?
L would not even go up my thighs in Zara yet I can get into size 16 M&S (autograph) with no problem at all...

I wont go in there. Makes me feel like a giantess

Love the clothes but they are diddy.

They are tiny noddy but also designed for giants........ who ever has legs that long

Women wh shop there have no tits - I am a 34DD and a size 12 and although can fit into most things nothing from there will cover my huge norks!

GIANTS WITH HUGE NORKS..... who are these people

with you icod, also 31 inside leg and the trousers just flap about round my feet.!

thanks MNs no longer feel like a freak. Who would have imagined Spanish ladies were so tall and skinny

Yes the sizes are mad and I can never find anything in there anyway but dd1 is the perfect shape for their stuff - really tall and as thin as a clothes line.

designed for longlegged but shortwaisted people with teeny tiny bottoms and no norks (ie my mum and sister)

their baby stuff is nice though

I'm waaaaaay to big for the women's stuff. Love the kids' stuff, but it's often the kind of thing where you need to buy the complete outfit, or you'll never find anything anywhere else to go with it. And I have seen kids' knickerbockers there - really not sure mine would go for that.

you'd think they'd get the message

foe teengaers size wise butt dd says the nice stuff is too £££

Agree about the tops being for the flat chested, I've never managed to button a shirt up in there. However, the trousers are not skinny, I can get into a size 8 in Zara and everywhere else it's a 10. Though tis true the length is a bit hit and miss...

What makes me laugh is the sizing they use - an L in Europe is equivalent to an M in US/Mexico...is that for the feelgood factor? Mango are the same, an L in France/Italy is equivalent to an M in US or Germany (too many sausages?).

M&S is not representative IMO, their sizes are huge, the stuff is designed for older clients so the sizes are proportionately more "comfortable". Someone gave me a size 10 pair of jeans from there and they positively fall off me.

ohhh I know the answer to why their clothes are long. My sister was telling me that they are designed for a continental market where tailoring is cheap, so clothes are bought and then taken to tailors to get fitted to the right size, thats why they are all on the long side.

It's true about the cheap tailoring, I get trousers shortened for around 8 euros a pair.

The trousers fit me ok but I only have one pair.Do have big boobs aswell maybe I am the only person they fit although tops are tiny

Zara tops fit me well, but skirts/dresses.trousers - forget it. made for slender Spanish 21 yr olds, not tall, 'curvy' cockneys
