A MEDIUM-sized fashion enthusiast has revealed her love-hate relationship with Zara’s size.
Aideen Kate, who posts under the acronym @aideenkatemua, shared a short video to TikTok where she can be seen presenting a very realistic Zara pull test – with many mixed reviews.
First, she tries on a silk pink dress with a bow detail.
“We have this dress … I can not even turn around because I know my a *** is hanging out. I’m 5 feet 8,” she says.
She then pulls on a gorgeous green maxi dress and a delighted Aideen gives enthusiasm: “It’s nice long – so cute for summer. It’s a size large. I would say it’s definitely a real fit.”
But things went downhill again when Aideen stepped into a white mini dress.
“I just feel a little too self-conscious to wear a dress so tight.”
“It will be on my zipper, but I just can’t actually pull the zipper up.”

“It’s a stretchy material, but I just know I’ll feel too self-conscious in this with this area – it’s more of a me problem than a Zara problem.”
Next is a white waist-style dress.
“It gives me everything but nothing at the same time,” she remarks.
“It’s way too tight on this area for me. The back of this is so cute – if you were a hen!”
She then also holds up the viral white tie-up mini-dress and reveals she bought a size XL.
“No it’s not!” she says. “I want to try it, I really do, but do I also want to ruin my own day?”
Aideen concludes the video by saying, “It’s not you who’s the problem, it’s the clothes – but we did not do too badly this time.”
The post has since garnered a whopping 306,000 views and has been flooded with comments from fashion enthusiasts.
“It’s such a shame that the only thing that suits a medium – sized person is the long flowing stuff 🙁 they are cleft, but we should be able to feel nice,” one wrote.
A second remarked: “I dream that bigger girls like me will one day also be able to shop in Zara. Petition for Zara to bring out a plus size range.”
A third added: “I work for Zara and the number of times that white dress has been returned due to the ridiculous size!”
Another one agrees: “The last dress is everywhere and it literally fits no one. You are beautiful too.”
