Primark

This is more a general review of the shop and of the overall products rather than singular items.

I have a love hate relationship with Primark. I love how cheap it is and I even love a lot of the gear in there but I HATE how people judge you for buying from there. I mean what's it matter to you whether I want to save money and buy more items rather than going and buying a single designer item.

Over the past few years I have noticed a steady increase in the quality of Primark clothing. The fabrics used are getting softer and so much better to wear. Admittedly the seams in some of my t-shirts still get out of line after quite a bit of washing but for like 4 pounds you can't expect the world. The skater dresses I have fit perfectly to my waist but with being rather short legged I find they hit my knees wrong but that's more a case of my genetics rather than the product.

I'm being reminded of the saying "You get what you pay for." but to me a lot of the products are better than what you pay for. The low pricing means I don't have to worry about my cats shoving a claw through it and causing a hole or if I'm searching for a good picture opportunity and I end up falling into a hedge ruining it. I can just go out and replace it the next day. The items I haven't ripped holes into have managed to last me absolutely years, I have some shirts that are still together after 3 years of use if not even longer.

They've also spread their sizing out, when I first started shopping there it used to only be size 8 to 18 and now there is size 6 and size 20 on offer which may not sound like a lot but it will have brought quite a lot of customers in for them by making those 2 extra sizes but they need to think about the bigger boobed girl as I have seen plenty for singular cup sizes such as e's and f's even though they're rather small on the cup fitting for me. When I was last measured I came out as a DD and I can't get an F cup to fit without them bulging out the top so either I suddenly like quadruple in size as I walk through the doors or the bras are shit fitting. I haven't decided and science hasn't proven the boob growth phenomenon yet.

One thing I DO NOT buy from there though is leggings, they're miles too thin of a fabric. I've seen so many people wearing them and the amount of knickers I have seen would damage the eyes of an ann summers girl let alone a regular person. Please please please IF you do purchase them from there, make sure you wear something that covers your arse.

Anyway you might not agree with shopping there but not every person can afford to pay 20 pounds for a jumper or 40 pounds for a dress and 100 for a pair of shoes so we have to shop where we can.
