    Saw the lemon dress in london's oxford street store yesterday and even tried it on but I would say its onlt suitable for those with quite a small/flat chest as it really doesn't have any shaping at the top & just kinda squashed me in and looked awful (but then again I am an E cup)

    I'm quite pleased with the quality of the t-shirts this year but have had my second pair of Primark jeans fall apart on me (literally the waistband came apart from the main section). Although they are only £8-10 it is a waste. My £19 sale jeans from Boden last year are still going strong, and I've just bought a new pair for £15 in the White Stuff sale so shall avoid Primark denim from now on!
  • Belfast has 4 floors!! Got linen trousers in pale pink, some bits of jewellery for 50p (teenage daughters v impressed), 4 of the therma-tops in white at a quid each. Said daughters are supposed to be going ski-ing this winter and socks at 3 for 1 quid as well. I HAVE to pass Primark on my way home so I have to go in, would be rude not to!!!

    Dont know if its a good place but im just gonna ask, maybe somebody could help me. Do you know how long does it take to show the refund from primark back into my account? I returned few things yesterday and the transaction was cancelled ( when i entered the pin) but then the SA did another one and verified it by signature and it went through fine. Now im just wondeirng when can i expect to have my money back showing in my bank statement. TIA

    The lemon dress does seem to come up a little small I bought the same style in a pink floral print expecting it to fit fine due to the elasticated back but primark are so damn tight with their fabric! I think they only put elasticated backs to save putting in a zip which costs more money and takes workers longer than rouching the back. It is absolutely gorgeous though I saw a similar style in dorothy perkins for about £40 so the primark one is a steal, I couldnt find it locally and didnt fancy the trip to london so I bought it off ebay, it came today and i love it to bits I want to go out tonight just to wear it :D Maybe will get the orange print one too

    To the best of my knowledge it takes three working days. So in theory the refund should appear on Thursday but to be on the safe side don"t bank on it being in till at least Friday.

    Good Luck!
