Went in today to get socks and bought 3 of the textured t shirts. They are so flattering on lovely shape. The white is vaguely animal printy up close and also got black and red. Quite light and sheer but lovely neckline and £4! I am quite busty and they re flattering.

I've seen them...can't think of the word to describe them though

Arf at getting in busty again

VivaLeBeaver · 12/07/2012 16:15

I'm off to Primark tomorrow. Also want one of the slightly open knit jumpers for me and a rabbit sleepsuit for dd. Will look out for the shirts.

Someone on twitter posted very nice leopard skinnies in washed out colour

noddyholder · 12/07/2012 16:21

They are really soft and look a bit like devore but not velvety. Now now cybbo I am trying to help out my fellow busty tarts

They have a little pocket and a lowish scoop neck.

Yes I know the sort , I bought a black one in H and M sale a while back, and a white one in Marks which now has sun cream round the neck

remember sun cream?

cybbo · 12/07/2012 16:24

I'll tell cod about them

noddyholder · 12/07/2012 16:27

God sun cream (wistful) I haven't worn any summer clothes at all this year. I bought that vita fake tan and still haven't done it just can't be bothered! I have the h and m ones in grey.

I've only fake tanned my feet up to my knees

monkeysmama · 12/07/2012 16:47

Is it that kind of "burnt" print? Warehouse have some in their sale too.

cybbo · 12/07/2012 16:48

That's the phrase I was looking for!

chaosisawayoflife · 12/07/2012 17:02

Their leather ballet flats, star print in suede-ish material are fab too. I went in today and picked up the black ones to complete my collection. I now have black, red and beige. They are lovely and comfortable and don't make my feet sweat like cheap ballet pumps usually do.

noddyholder · 12/07/2012 17:05

I did spot a few nicer things than usual today.Need some ballet pumps will look for those next!

I have received loads of compliments about my bright orangey red Primark rain poncho. Sadly it doesn't keep the rain off, is only shower proof, but still. It looks nice indoors!

smellylittleorange · 12/07/2012 17:10

How much are the star print ballet flats chaosisawayoflife am off to Primark in the morning!!?

chaosisawayoflife · 12/07/2012 18:59

They are £12, bargainous for real leather! In my store they were hanging on a wall rack, rather than the islands in the middle if that makes sense. I think they also come in Jade and yellow. Buy smaller rather than bigger as they do give a bit with wear.

smellylittleorange · 12/07/2012 19:16

Thank you!! Will have to decide on a colour now!

chaosisawayoflife · 12/07/2012 20:49

At £12, get a selection! They are very versatile.
Ooh, and while you're in there, check out their jersey, cropped harems. They are the perfect lounging-around-the-house wear. Very, very comfortable, nice and lightweight, and don't look completely frumpy or slobby like a lot of 'lounge wear'. I have a couple of pairs and change into them as soon as I get home, but don't mind taking the bins out or popping down to the shop in them.

swooosh · 12/07/2012 20:53

ooooh I think I saw the star print flats, they are lovely!! might have to pop back..

scripsi · 13/07/2012 18:17

Saw this thread the other day (but was nowhere near a Primark) but it appears that I'm going to be near a primark for the first time in a few years next week.

I've previously managed to get their support leggings which are great (for my sciatica: sexy), so I shall get them again. Have lost weight a little in recent months and need to update my look - so I'm going to look for the burn-out t-shirts here, the star flats, cropped harems.
Is there anything else I should look for?

UnnamedFemaleProtagonist · 13/07/2012 18:29

I have three of these black tops and am large of bust, 32G. These fit nicely and look great with skinnies.

waitingforgodot · 13/07/2012 18:35

are the tops long or short sleeve?

noddyholder · 13/07/2012 19:36

Wore the red one today much admired!

chaosisawayoflife · 13/07/2012 20:46

They seem to have some good quality stuff at the moment, not all synthetics. The leather ballet pumps are a good example, but their basic tshirts are mostly cotton and only £4 so worth stocking up on. I have a few stripy and plain ones and they wear and wash really well.

UnnamedFemaleProtagonist · 13/07/2012 20:59

Short sleeved. Like a loose cap. I sized up 2 sizes so it was a loose fit. They are see through.
