In the Romford branch the travel bottles are by the lingerie and home departments, where the makeup is, but these were £2 so I went to poundland and got them there!

I managed to get a pink shiny mac for £10 instead of £25. It's lovely.


Has anyone managed to get a lemon dress? I'm thinking about getting one on ebay, but wondered how much they originally were and if they come up big or small. Thanks for any help

Where would the travel bottle packs be? I checked all through the Redditch Primark and couldn't find them - although it is small compared to some. I checked in boots and they're £6 for the same thing! Also, do you know how much the bottles hold? I need 100ml really as going away for 2 weeks.

In the Reading store they were in one of the square wire baskets right by the front entrance but I would guess it will prob differ from store to store. I'm not 100% sure how much the bottles hold, I would guess at 75ml - 100ml, they look quite tall and thin compared to some of the ones I've seen in stores like boots. You get three bottles, three little tubs (these are quite small), a little funnel and some labels as well, all in a clear zip-lock bag.

Some of the pound shops also have the bottle packs in if you can't find them in Primark.

Hi, I've just measured the bottles and they will hold 100ml.

Regular is meant to be 32 inches and Short is meant to be 30. Cropped is either 26 or 28....can't remember which. I'm 5'3" and the short ones are long enough for me.

I think I've got one of the short pairs. Grrr! I need regular. A few posts back someone mentioned stock levels of these. Does anyone know if they're getting more black ones in?

Further to that does anyone know if they have any in Meadowhall Primark?

Well I popped into Primark Reading this afternoon, lots of those lemon dresses, and the orange and other versions....so I thought I'd try one on....or I would have if I could've got into the darn thing! There simply is not enough stretch elastic at the back to get it over my shoulders and judging by one on the rail that had a ripped strap, I wasn't going to risk getting stuck in it. I am sure it would have fitted nicely had I been able to genie myself into it Star Trek styleee. All it needed was a zip, or some buttons, but nooooo - so no purchase.

Also tried on a lovely black skirt with big buttons down the front and parrots on it. It was a c.1950's style though that sat really high around the waist, looked lovely but a bit too constricting for my liking (the 8 was quite snug but I am 100% sure there is no way I'm a 10 and I really couldn't be bothered to go and get another size to try on).

Queue for customer services was HUGE so that made up my mind about a pair of flip flops I was considering taking back - they are like the ones I bought last year, except they don't have the black ones with little cherries on this year so I got blue with anchors - wasn't 100% sure about them ...but I am sure they will get some wear.

Just wanted to let people know that I had a nice quiet browse around Bristol Primark today and they had loads of the orange and lemon print dresses in. They also had loads of the swallow and flamingo print silky style dresses which people are claiming on ebay are sold out.
Both are £9 in store.

Me too! I am usually 10/12 and ended up managing to squuse into a 14 but way too tight round my top half, the 16 fit better on the top but was too big round the bottom. They had loads of 10s and 8s, one 14, one 16 and one 18 in Hull for anyone thats interested.

I tried the lemon dress too.
I know you can't expect perfect fitting garments at the price they offer, but this dress was AWFUL!
Tried on the 8 as there were no 10s, and was worried it'd be too tight, but it was like a sack - even the "fitted" bits were shapeless.
