I first started shopping at primark when I was fourteen and I haven't looked back since, every single month i treck to my nearest Primrk which in my case is In preston. I absoloutly adore it!

underwear and lingerie
There is a wide variety of loungerie, there really is something for everybody and there pries are amazing, You can buy a bra and knicker set from just £2 which can go up to £8 but is still an absoloute bargain. In my long and excellent experience of Primark I know that they do bra sizes up to 38 DD and it is quite rare for the sies to be higher. The knickers are very cheap, you can get them from 50 pence all the way to just £3, and they are all gorgeous yo can get big knickers which are perfect for bed time and lady troubles lol, and yet they are still very pretty and cute with little ducks, lovehearts on, they also sell plain ones too! Primark also sell lacey flirty thongs and G-strings which can also be purchassed for a little £1. In my experience the knicker sizes are mostly medium to large, 14-18 seem to be the most common size at primark, I however am a size 8-10 and I can fit in the size 14 due to there abiltity to stretch,however there sizes may be a problem for some people who are quite slim.

clothes

The clothes are amazing to the eye in primark and also come in all sizes unless due to the items popular demand the sizes may be less varied. Primark sells excellent holiday clthes and there vest tops come in a variety of colours and the price is just £3, the vest tops also fit very well. Primark also sell lots of jumpers which in my opinion are not very well made, I bought two V-neck jumpers and thought they would be fine and a bargain at just £5 a piee, but after putting them in the washing machine twice the jumpers sleeves had stretched and looked very silly. The Jeans in Primark are quite good, the crotch however can look baggy and make you look like you have male parts! The jans also can stretch in the washing machine and alot of my friends have complained about this so My suggestion would ebe if you are a size 12, buy a size eight and bang them in the washing machine a couple of times! The store generally sells different coloured jeans the colours that are always found are black and white and blue, red and anvy are sometimes found in Primark. I think that the best section in Primark is where they sell all of the joggers and stylish hoodies and tracky bottoms, my friend goes to the gym regurly and she loves the primark gym range, they sell lots of hoodies for just £8 which come in a lot of colours and styles and also sell alot of stylish jog pants and shorts, in a variety of colours. Primark also do an excellent range of coats and jackets which are very in fashion at that time, and very cheap I snapped up three jackets from there, 2 parkas and a military jacket which I adore, the only problem which I encounter with the jackets and coats is that sometimes the buttons do come off. Primark also sells mens clothes and childrens but unfortunatly I am not aware of the quality that these clothes have.

shoes and accessories
oh my god I love this part of primark, the shoes are wonderful and very fashionable, they sell boots, sandals, pumps and ballet pumps. Generally the price for dolly pumps is around £8 but can be found for £5, it really depends on the style and the more exentric the shoes are, the pumps are great for school because they sell alot of black ballet pumps which are very apropriate for school and generally cost about £5 they also last for a couple of months! They sell alot of sandalswhcih are great for holiday and are extremally cheap, I picked up a pair of pink simple beach sandles with little gems for just £2 <<<<wow!!!!, Primarrk's boots are also very nice and fashionable they sell high kneed boots and ankle boots which generally are sold in brown and black, these boots mostly range from £8-18. The one item of shoe that could be improved in Primark is the high heels and stilletoes, they are okay but there is not alot or a wide variety of heels.
The bags are great in Primark and celebrities know this too! last weekend I picked up a cream leather-like hand bag with a big bow attached for only £8, fearn cotton has one just like it, Primark sell hand bags, shopper bags, across the body bags and shoulder bags and come in a wide variety of fabrics including leather, the price for the bags ranges from an amzing £2 to a reasonable £12. Primark also sell gloves and purses which are also very good ! Last but not least Primark sell a wide variety of jewellery, you ame it they have got it, I love to shop atprimark for jewellery because if I see something in a magazine such as a bronze long necklace and it is £10 I can go to Primark knowing thatI will not have to spend more than £4! They sell rings,necklaces,bracelets and earrings and they are all lovely

I wil ladmit that because of it's low prices and variety of clothes that Primark will be busy but I have been to four Primarks in England and they have atleast six people on cash registers and the que does not stay long forever, the longest que i have had to stay in at Primark, was the Primark in Manchester, I was queing for ten minutes. The changing rooms areclean and are a reasonable size.

In my opinion Primark is an excellent shop which sells all the latest fashions and I think that every girl should try it for herself, I hope I have helped !

sorry but they do not do big sizes, agree though the stuff they do sell is nice smart and well priced, if only they catered for the larger structures too.
