Guys- I really need advice. After seeing all of the amazing fantasy blazers on this thread, I ordered the mint green one online. It arrived a couple of days ago and I love the look and the cut but wow does it feel cheap. I have purchased things at Forever 21 for literally 1/3 of the price that feel more substantial. Did I get an item from a "bad batch" or is this just the way they are? I see loose strings from the seams and a few very minor areas where it looks like it has the beginnings of a snag. Is this what you ladies have exprienced as well? For $129.00, I guess I expected something just a little better.

The quality of Zara items definitely vary from style/item to item. I really loved the look of the fantasy jackets from the lookbook and photos, but when I saw it in store, it wasn't very appealing. The fabric was quite thin and the seams were a bit off.

I did end up getting a classic black blazer from Zara for the same price ($129) and loved it. It's well made and I received many compliments (along with questions about where I got it).

So, so true! I went to Zara today to return that cheap feeling fantasy blazer and I saw many other styles of the fantasy blazer that were actually cheaper ($89.95) and the difference was night and day. The seams were well placed, the fabric felt sturdy and the stitching looked well done. I guess it is all about the style. I haven't written off Zara quite yet, I just need to be careful with the styles I select.

I know what you mean... too many cute pieces to buy, not enough $$$ or closet space! Phew! Aww, thank you... that's so kind of you to say! :flowers: Yeah, TTS for me... I wear a small for anything Zara (I don't have a ton of stuff, but what I do own is in a small) and took a small in this cardi/jacket, too!

Haven't seen you in a while fieryfashionist! :smile1::smile1: I saw this jacket in the store but didn't get a chance to try it on. Would you say it fits TTS? How's the quality? TIA :smile1:
