Primark jean sizes..wtf?

[malificent7]

I know we should all be shunning fast fashion but Primark do cheap jeans and i wont chuck them out after 1 wear i promise!
So i tried on a pair of jeans which fit (admittedly hadvto go a size up.) Bought them then bought another pair in EXACTLY the same style and size but in a different colour ( black) . Didn't have time to try them on but assumed they would be exactly the same cut...they didnt even do up! Plus im a size 12 and jeans were a 14 so should have fit. Grrr...but at 13 pounds i was very pleased with pair that did fit.

I have had the same problem but with a variety of shops, I always try everything on now and I don't care what size it says on the label so long as they fit comfortably!

I watched a documentary about child labour and high street brands. Some times sweat shops are actually the better option for these families - they get fed and housed and are safe from the child abuse which is rife in parts of India.

Regarding sweat shops, I think we're very naive if we believe that more expensive clothing items are made in better conditions, unless there's a specific ethical commitment
