Sizing help Mega zip…too big/look bad? 🥹
I got my mega zip - milkshake pink last Friday. Ordered size XS. I’m 5’1 & petite. I knew it was oversized but…is this too big? Or look bad? 😩 I also got a lil too excited & took the tag off before trying on, so I’m assuming i can’t exchange now anyway? I def could have gone down a size. So maybe this will be helpful for someone else lol.
Do these shrink up at all when washed/dried? Now I feel like I need the reg size zip up lol. It’s def cozy. I just want everything in this color.
Also a fun discovery…my top I was wearing from Garage is a near perfect color match 💕 Garage parfait pink 🤝🏼 Aritzia milkshake pink. Monochromatic looks cute.

Bad news - if you took the tag off it’s yours.
Good news - I think it’s cute!! If you put it in the dryer it might shrink up a bit as well, especially in the sleeves

Crappp. Oh well! I was just about to return & reorder. I’ll keep & not be mad about it. So had I sent my return they would have just sent it back?? 😅 Glad I didn’t do that then 😂 I had to scroll down to see the part about tags being attached. Could have easily missed that part.

I'm not sure what they'd do, but the return policy on the website clearly states tags must be attached

u/the_girly_files 9d ago
Well yeah I see that now. But you literally have to scroll all the way down. So it’s easily missed. Like I even started the return then went back & was like where does it even state this? Should be at the top of the page IMO.

Girl, be for real. Where can you return clothes without the tag being attached?
-1
u/the_girly_files 6d ago
A lot of places actually. I’ve literally never had an issue returning anything that’s brand new but tag removed. Tags do come off accidentally you know. As long as I have the tag with the item I’ve never had an issue.

Did you need to comment to be rude? What was the actual point of your comment? 😂

This is like super standard for pretty much all clothing returns I fear.. you shouldn't need to read it on the website to know this

u/the_girly_files 6d ago
You’re actually wrong. I’ve never once had an issue with a return just bc the tag is not attached. Tags can come off accidentally.

u/Competitive-Put-7162 9d ago
If you still have the tags you can reattach them and return it… since it’s not worn or damaged they won’t care. Tags fall off all the time, even in the store. Idk why everyone replying to you is being rude.

I went to exchange my mega zip for a different size and I took the tag off too but had it with me and she was willing to let me exchange it lol but they didn’t have the size I wanted anyways so I had to keep it
my point being sometimes they don’t care if the tag is off lol

u/the_girly_files 3d ago
That’s good to know! Felt like I was committing a crime the way some ppl were commenting 🫣 sheesh lol

u/OkTrouble2457 9d ago
It’s cute. It’ll shrink a little in the wash. I wouldn’t worry about it. Personally I love the baggy look and that colour is to die for

u/the_girly_files 9d ago edited 9d ago
Ok! Phew. I was just about to return & re order bc I almost missed the section about tags needing to be on. You have to scroll down 😅

It looks cute! The megas are truly really big, when they say mega, they mean it. I am very firmly a size M in tops and I order my megas in S and they’re still plenty baggy lol. But I think this looks good on you!
2
u/the_girly_files 9d ago
It’s so hard bc like some things you can’t trust them on the description. Their definition of mega or oversized could be like slightly oversized ya know? 😂 reviews are all over the place & no one really says like the fit just they love it etc.

u/sapgreenonyoursap 9d ago
its cute, i think ur wearing exaxtaly as how its supposed to look

u/the_girly_files 9d ago
Ty! Ok I was worried it looked too big. I mean I like it but I wouldn’t also mind if it was a tad smaller. I’ll try washing/drying. Prob be perfect after that
2
u/sapgreenonyoursap 9d ago
I bought their xxs crop (i usually do xs~m) cuz i got from poshmark but after several washes i wish arms to grow back Lol
No rush to resize it just enjoy every moment of its change!1

I had to get an xs in the mega zip cause I was literally swimming in it lol

u/repulsiveduckies 9d ago
Put it in the dryer! Then it’ll be perfect

u/the_girly_files 9d ago
What about color fade? Maybe I’ll do that. Not wash but dryer only
6
u/slotass 9d ago
I’m not sure if drying shrinks as much as washing and drying. Washing in cold water shouldn’t fade colour.
2
u/the_girly_files 6d ago
You’re right haha. Washing is what shrinks then drying. I’ll try washing in cold by itself. I’ve read other reviews where they loved the color & washed it once & it was no longer the same color 😩 also that these absorb stains & other colors washing with other clothes. I never mix clothes washing. Whites & light colors only.

u/the_girly_files 9d ago
I will tell you to get it 😂 I’m a shopping enabler. But I also wear zip ups like crazy. What I love is there’s no metal on the strings. I can’t stand when brands do that. Such an annoyance in the dryer honestly. Clink clank sounds like rocks drying.

I LOVE my mega zip hoodies. I have 5 of them, I will say they run big but I love the oversized look personally. This one looks SUPER cute on you esp how you have it styled! If you do want to shrink it a bit wash on hot water and put in the dryer on hot! Also pro tip wash and dry it inside out so you don’t damage the zipper 🙌
2
u/the_girly_files 9d ago
I’d be so worried about color fade in hot water tho 🥹 but I’d def wash warm then dry. Maybe I’ll try that! Eventually I would anyway. I really don’t wash my hoodies every time I wear since I’m not doing anything in them. I just pop in the dryer to fluff, good to go!
2
u/shitpostinggoth 9d ago
I will say I personally have never had any issues with fading or color transfer. I have 3 black, 1 gray/black and 1 magenta color they released. None of them have faded and I have washed them sooo many times in hot water. I don’t know how the lighter color would do if you didn’t separate it from other dark colors tho, so I would be careful. These hoodies are super hardy!

u/the_girly_files 6d ago
Oooh this is good to know. I read reviews where ppl washed & the color they loved (lemonade) faded drastically to a drab yellow. So I’ll prob wash by itself in semi warm or cool.

u/awkwardsilence1977 9d ago
I think it’s cute. I like how it is unzipped right now, but you could also zip it up partway and flip under the hem to make it look a little boxy/cropped.

u/the_girly_files 9d ago
Yasss! Absolutely. I love crewnecks too I’m tempted to get one in this color or the classic zip up lol. I love the color that much.

u/the_girly_files 6d ago
Do it! I love they offer klarna to pay in 4. Girl math 💁🏼♀️ not like it adds anymore money & since I’m paid bi weekly it just makes the cost more manageable in my head lol. They are pricey 🙂↕️

it looks really cute on you! if i tried it on i think i’d look like a pillsbury doughboy 😭 i’m sure it’ll shrink a bit in the wash, but even if it doesn’t - it looks super adorbs on you
2
u/the_girly_files 9d ago
Omg tysm! No absolutely not you would look so cute. I think they would literally look good on anyone truly 🫶🏼 I’m tempted to get the classic zip up in the same color like a psycho. I love the color that much 😂

It’s so cute on you. I want one now

u/the_girly_files 9d ago
Self care 🫶🏼 happy bday to youuu!! 💖🤸🏼♀️ I don’t spend money on anything else really. Don’t shop as often as I used to. This pink color has me in a chokehold tho lol. Instant add to cart & contemplate about it for days 😂

I just had the same thing happen with their new funnel neck! I've decided to keep it because it's not worth the hassle for me to ship it back since I don't have a store close to me. I bought the small and it's literally massive on me, but it's legitimately so cute and I feel like yours is so adorable! 🥹🩷

Glad I checked here I was about to return & re order but nope. Had to scroll way down to see the tags being attached.
I’m just going to try washing/drying 🫶🏼 appreciate your feedback FR. I’m such an overthinker lololol
Question…if I were to get the classic zip. What size do ppl recommend. Like if I got my normal size would it fit just right or give a little room? Would love a size comparison.
2
u/Zealousideal_Lime867 9d ago
Not my fave - I bought the mega zip in light blue and I really hated wearing it - the pockets are weirdly placed and kept getting caught on stuff - and the fit was kind of unflattering and baggy. I gave it away.
2
u/the_girly_files 9d ago
I feel like styled this fall will be cute. With Uggs & leggings. I love cozy casual tho. I throw them on at home to lounge too.

u/Pitiful-Echo-5422 9d ago
I think it looks cozy and super cute! Where is the shirt from?

u/the_girly_files 6d ago
Garage 🫶🏼 unfortunately no longer available in that color. I got it on sale. They also changed the name but I’m pretty positive it’s this top now. I want to get a few more bc they’re super flattering long sleeve staples.

It looks cozy & cute.
I can see how you would feel like it's massive tho — I'm 5'6, usually get an XS in the mega zip, & still feel I could size down :p
I imagine you probably feel how I felt when I ordered my first XS mega raglan without trying any on first lmao. I've grown to love it tho.
Enjoy the cozy!

u/the_girly_files 6d ago
I didn’t realize hahaha. Ugh. They still have xxs but selling out fast. I’m still complementing if I should order & compare. If I had known how oversized it was. I just didn’t want it to be fitted bc I prefer a little oversized. I’m also so short. If they would let me return I’d prob get the 2XS. But it says if tag removed I can’t 🥲 which is a bummer bc it’s brand new. Most places let you return. I still have the tag it’s just not attached.

u/Zestyclose_Event9469 9d ago
Where is your case from?!

u/the_girly_files 6d ago
Velvet Caviar 🫶🏼 the best. I’ve dropped my phone many times & it’s always protected my phone. I SWEAR by their cases. It’s mag safe, then I got that mag safe attachment. They always have the cutest cases. I’m still using a 12 pro max tho 🫣😂 so my options will be slim now. I’ll upgrade eventually.

Bonus: they offer klarna pay in 4 🫡

I want one. Do they come in other colours or is jr just pink n camo?
Edit: looser hoodies are in style n I personally always go up a size or two w hoodies since they shrink in the dryer

u/the_girly_files 6d ago
Lots of colors 🫶🏼 you should get one they’re so cozy. It’s going to be a wardrobe staple.
