Is there anything in Primarni worth buying?

[kittya]

I very rarely have chance to go to one but, today I will have to walk by. Is it worth looking in?

Pajamas!!!

Woooo!!

Don't know if they have got their swimwear in yet, but last year I bought a black bikini which was sized like a bra IYKWIM. Absoloutely fantastic.

cheap undies

and some of the "bedroom" wear

Oh yes you must go in. Be praepared to rummage. In amongst the crap there are some wonderful finds.

Graet for cotton long sleeve jersey tops for layering, some cute dresses and the accessories are fab.

Enjoy!

Went there yesterday - nice baggy linen trousers - best colours go quickly. Some good trackie bottoms to wear at home and other cheapie bits; best to mix and match with classy pieces.

Their £3 vest tops-exactly the same as M&S's £12 ones and they come in every colour you can think of. Make sure you get the silky/stretchy ones not the el cheapo £1 cotton ones.

Flipflops/ballet pumps also good

No Never - not unless you are 15

I was going to say about the stretchy vest tops, they're great for wearing under dresses, tops and so on and probably on their own for very hot days (should we be lucky enough to get some of those.) Yes, the pyjamas too. I've got some of their 'control' pants, they're good too and much cheaper than M&S or similar. Back on the subject of vests, I've got a couple of their 'control' ones - smooths out back and tummy - they're good too and quite thick and very close fitting so keep you a bit warmer when needed too. They do require a bit of tugging and shimmying to get off though. I also find the tights worth buying too. Underwear too. Actually lots of things! I'm always in there!

The £9 linen trousers are really very good for the price.

Stretchy cotton lycra tops. I got one in a discontinued colour for £1 3 years ago, wore it throughout pregnancy and it has washed and worn brilliantly and not stretched out of shape. I buy a few every season now in different colours. Intend to wear these tops in bigger sizes in this pg too, much cheaper and less faff than those wrap around things.

Note to self - check out linin strides

I have a couple of little cardigans from there, £6 but loads of people have asked me about them and they have also washed really well.

If you've got adult sized teenage boys, I can recommend their plain white men's shirts for school. I bought DS three from Primark and three from M&S at the beginning of the school year. The M&S ones went grey and bobbly after about 4 washes, the Primark ones are still going strong.

DP has a pile of plain black primark t shirts he's been wearing day in, day out for about the last 6 years - they're still going strong and are still black.

They've got a really nice Jill sander copy maxi dress in at the mo, but I had to take it up. Jewellery is really pretty at the moment.
They have some fab sparkly sandals for the summer in, almost exactly the ones that are in dune.

I got loads of jewellery there yesterday, plus one of the fab £6 cardis mentioned above, a satchel bag, another bag (quilted crossover- £5!!) and two lovely dresses. Oh and a load of kids stuff!

Vests and linen pants are good, as are the straw beach bags.

Have also had a few bikinis that lasted well.

I love those small satchel bags.

What are these £6 cardis you talk of?

Mine was a big satchel bag, but they have the little ones too.

The cardis are stretch cotton and they have loads of different colours- I got a really lovely raspberry colour one.

I'm going back next week to get a denim jacket...I'm addicted!

i totally love my lightweight coat that has horse print all over it

The £4 pumps (they only last about 6 months)
Cheap undies
Satchel bags
Vests/t-shirts etc. They currently have great vests in mustard/cream colours with a chest pocket.
Fake pearls

I go in once a week! Though, if I want something to last I will go somewhere else.

I always but a nice spring/summer coat there and always get lots if comments on it - must pop in soon! As others have said, their stretchy tops and vests are fab, I always have plenty of them on the go. Underwear is good and I wouldn't buy nightwear anywhere else! You can never leave empty handed and it's such a great feeling when you walk out with your great big bag filled with stuff and you practically had enough change in the bottom of your handbag to cover it!!! (well not quite!)

ballet pumps/sandals
slippers
pj's
jewellery

These vests of which you all speak- are the straps stretchy enough to yank down for breastfeeding?

Not sure moules. Mine are the thick strap ones with a high back iyswim. I am going to nip in tomorrow so I will have a look for you and report back.

Bullet, that cardi sounds nice. I may sample a few myself.

have had many of their spring/summer coats and have been stopped many times and asked where i got them.....some of the stuff really is no worse quality than eg River Island, New Look etc especially the jewellery.
I tend to mix Primark with slightly better brands maybe it's how you wear stuff, i don't get anything from there that is too slouchy or the fabric looks too cheap..not everything does, that's a myth really! some stuff i've worn for years...the cotton wears well (not the jersey kind though)
