Zara Dress

I tried this on today in medium (didn't have large or xl) and it's looked great but was basically too small. Has anyone seen anything like this, but.... cheaper, and maybe larger

And they show similar-ish dresses available in XL.

Not quite as dark brown but absolutely bargain - Tu clothing can be surprisingly good.

I'm not anti TU - in fact I was a little ooooohh but I dont like that one

I like a darker colour (brown, grey any) and the fabric is a little more 'solid' than the ribbed one

That's an OK dress, but nothing like the Zara one

👍 Hope it’s perfect for you.

(I do like Zara for dresses. Most of their stuff is tat but the odd skirt and dress has given a real fillip to my wardrobe.)

I have fallen in love with this dress, thanks OP.

What is the sizing like? I’m an 8-10 and would normally order small but I know Zara run small so would you recommend the medium?

I don’t find they run as small these days compared to 20 years ago or is that just me?

I’ve just used the fit finder, it puts me at a medium based on my height, weight and bra size.

Goodness I didn't realise Zara was about for the last 20 years, the joys of living in Scotland 😂
