They measured a Zara dress before and after washing and found that even though it had been washed at 30C, it shrank 1.7 inches at the hem. The Sun tested this on a variety of high street brands, including Zara. Zara clothes do tend to shrink after a wash, even at 30C. I’ve personally found it to be pretty true to size for me when it comes to dresses, but as a smaller-busted gal, I’ve not had to contend with big boobs confusing the size I pick. Zara is more often than not a brand that tends to run small, so if in doubt, size up. READ MORE: What Do Circles, Triangles and Squares on Zara Labels Mean? Do Zara dresses run small? Under a specific item, you can click on ‘Find Your Size’ and you’ll be shown this tool: The most accurate way of making sure you’re getting the right size for you is to double check the exact measurements of each item using the brand’s sizing tool. But if you’re asking if all of the same size labels on their products actually have the same measurements, then no. It depends! If you’re asking if they give a specific measurement for a certain product size, then yes.

To avoid that happening to you, here’s what you need to know. Suffice to say, I missed out on a larger size. Last winter, I bought a pair of leather pants in the sale I assumed would fit perfectly but lo and behold, they were too tight. Once you know your size, it’s pretty easy to work out which to order but there’s always exceptions. As far as fashion innovation goes, these jeans deserve an award for being - wait for it - ahead of the curve.As a huge Zara fan who lives in Margate, I’ve become a dab hand at working out which size to get without having to order 3 sizes of everything. I love knowing this pair will meld to my body just as nicely if my weight fluctuates in the future - be it next week or a year from now.
The verdict? I absolutely recommend giving these jeans a try, especially if you're someone who gets frustrated with jeans sizing like me. I do hope the brand utilizes the "FitsYou" technology in other styles, because there's not a doubt in my mind that it's genius. These days, I prefer a boot cut or wide-leg design à la the brand's Extra High-Waisted Sky Hi Ripped Wide-Leg Jeans ($50), but that doesn't mean I'll ditch the style entirely. My *only* complaint is that I'm not as committed to the skinny jeans as I used to be. They didn't feel too big, nor too small, and the stretchy material felt as comfortable as a pair of leggings. But upon slipping the jeans on, I was shocked to find that they hugged my body perfectly. I was cautiously optimistic about this order, especially since I wasn't entirely confident that the size 8-12 range wasn't the right fit. I went with the dark-blue wash called "Cher" and then selected two-day shipping (because I have no chill). After taking a quick quiz to determine my size, the brand recommended adding the 8-12 range to my cart. Shoppers choose from a size range (0-00, 2-6, 8-12, 14-18, 20-24, and 26-30) rather than a singular number (which feels so much less stressful and risky, especially while ordering online). So how does the multi-sizing work? Well, per the brand, the jeans harness the power of Lycra-free technology, which allows the fabric to "expand over your body while remaining comfortable and not compressive." The debut "FitsYou" style is the Extra High-Waisted Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans ($45, originally $55), which come in four different washes and one ripped design, all featuring a contoured extra high-rise waistband. The technology sounded game-changing, so I couldn't help but look into it further. But recently, while perusing Old Navy's jeans section, I came across the brand's " FitsYou" style that fits three sizes.
Team that with the fact that my weight fluctuates throughout the year like everyone's does (it's v normal, y'all), and I find myself tempted to steer clear of purchasing new denim altogether. At some stores, I'm a size 6, while at others, size 8 is too snug. Shopping for jeans is no easy feat, especially when your size varies significantly from brand to brand.
