    Has anyone bought one of the chiffon shirt style sleeveless dresses? They do them in coral, blue, black and cream I think.
    I really want one but I'd love to hear what people think of them?

    Have seen a few on e-bay but people are selling them for 15pounds more!!! Ridiculous!!

    I bought the black bird-print sleeveless shirt-style dress and it fits really well, and the fabric is silky and lovely to wear - great for £9! Only quibble is that buttons are hard to fasten/unfasten and a bit cheap looking but apart from that it's fab (and bird print is in fashion for autumn so can layer it then too!) It came in cream too which was really pretty.

    That sounds gorge! Haven't seen them - this may necessitate another trip, oh dear! :rotfl: I think I have rediscovered my Primark mojo. :D

    Yes it was! Bargains galore to be had :D

    The cardis were on the ground floor near the back entrance. I got a white one last week, it was winter stock and had been reduced to £2. Fab!

    The £6 ones are spring stock and most have horizontal stripes.

  • I had another trip yesterday!! I got the mocha slippers as well. By the way kerri gt, they do have the matress protectors, the double is 6.50, the single is 5 and the pillowcases are 4. I got a green pair of kitten hells from 10 down to 6 that I'm going to wear with the lemons dress as it has green in it and I have green jewellery. I got the charm bracelet for 1 quid and a few pair of cheap knickers! I'm not going today (promise!!) but will have to make up for it tomorrow!!

    Can't tell re. quality as I've never had a successful purchase - have bought a few pairs of men's jeans and they've always been very small for sizes and have had to take them back. Don't buy them anymore. Advice: try them in store. Unfortunately OH is a shop-a-phobe...


    I usually buy a size bigger in mens jeans from Primarni and they seem to be ok

    Brilliant! Thank you! I'll definitely have to go have a 'quick' look ;)

    I have bought some pyjama's in Primark which have been OK. I wouldn't get the bra's, because the wiring get's in the way (for obvious reasons)
