Is Zara Plus Size Friendly?

Is ZARA plus size friendly? Let’s find out together shall we? Have y’all ever been roaming the mall and come across stores you were intimidated to go into because clearly the clothing was meant for small/skinny women! Not that you didn’t love the clothing but that you just assumed there’d be not a damn thing in there for you? One store that I’ve always admired but never worked up the courage to shop online or in person with was ZARA.

Zara is definitely does great imo with diversity of models (ethnicity wise). I love to see all the shades of brown as I scroll. I also love that there are models with varying hair textures in very carefree styles! Not to mention they have fashion forward footwear for my size 11 feet. Big feet girls want cute shoes too!

 

Just like you’d probably never catch me in a store that’s way out of my budget, I hadn’t given ZARA a thought because I assumed it was for “regular” sized women , but that all changed when I saw this dress. I was feeling the vibe and knew I had to give it a try. So I said a vain prayer to the fashion gods, ordered the largest size, and…

 

Now that I frequently browse the website I realize that they do have sizes as big as XXL. I would consider myself a solid 2x, but depending on many body factors 3x girls could get into Zara as well. Hopefully sooner rather than later Zara will go full on size inclusive in their clothing and even their models! Speaking it into the universe!

I don’t have access to a physical Zara store here in Tally so there are a few things that I pay attention with each piece I’m considering.

When it comes to pieces that are free flowing, you’re pretty much home free. There’s no worries about whether something is going to be too tight or not fit right.

If you have larger arms, be mindful of the fabric stretch and arm hole size. When it comes to the dress I’m wearing, I knew I would have no problems because the arm holes on the dress are quite large and there’s no sleeves!

Of course I would definitely say throw caution to the wind if there’s something you really want to give a shot because Zara does free returns online and in store. So at the end of the day you won’t have to fret about having to pay to return things or any of that craziness.

So yeah this was my first clothing purchase from ZARA and it definitely won’t be  is not my last.
