    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.

    Could you perhaps change the buttons (a la Gok styleee :D) to ones you prefer? Given the cost of the dress (and sounds like you're planning to wear it lots) could be worth a thought?

    Yep that's an idea - they are quite shiny fake diamondy style ones but since I'm using it as daywear it might be nice with normal black buttons. Thanks!

    (if anyone wants to see the bird-print dress there are pics on ebay if you put Primark bird dress into the search. They are £9 instore - bought mine from Metro Centre last week right by the door. Comes in black and cream.)

    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)

    :money:
    I don't understand this (and I don't mean the multiple murdered apostrophes). What does the wiring get in the way of, and what are the obvious reasons? Do you mean that they are bad bras?

    Were they the ones with the purple top with silver writing (say 'Shhhhh...i'm sleeping') and blue/purple/white checked shorts? If they were, I got those for Xmas (picked by me, wrapped by 'Santa' ;)) Can't remember how much they were - think it was £4 originally? I didn't realise they were shorts until I got home, but I loved the top - so also managed to get some checked bottoms from Gap also from Santa after the bargain ones in Primark...:D

    Btw, top has washed well, and is really comfy to sleep in :j

    Yes, that's the one! The t-shirt is really comfy to sleep in. Wore it last night with the long checked PJ bottoms (bought seperately) - they ar SO comfy! Really soft :)
    I'm hoping to get back through to Darlington this weekend. Gonna stock up on some more - if there's any left - fingers crossed!

    Best bargain Opia charm bracelet £1 very similar to Links style, there are loads of different charms to buy aswell for £1 each quite collectable.

    My twelve year old daughter would LOVE one of these. Has anyone got a picture as I can't get to Primark at the moment - my husband has one near where he works, but needs VERY specific instructions :rotfl:
