Furious woman shows how different Primark’s size 12 trousers are to New Look’s size EIGHT jeans
A SIZE 10 woman was left fuming after buying a pair of size 12 trousers from Primark and not even being able to do them up – despite having just changed out of a pair of size eight New Look jeans.
Ally Marie took to TikTok to “rant” about the budget retailer in a video she captioned: “Primark this is ridiculous, no wonder people are struggling with body image.”

When the size 12 Primark trousers were laid on top of the New Look jeans, they appeared even smaller than the size eight denimsTik Tok/ allymarieox
“What the hell is Primark playing at?” she began her video, as she stood up to show how she couldn’t even do the trousers up.
“These are a 12. I’m a size 10 but I got a bigger pair because they looked tiny.
“I can’t even do them up.
“And I can’t walk.

“I was wearing a size 8 pair of jeans from New Look before I put these on.”
She then took the trousers off and laid them on top of the New Look jeans, with Primark’s size 12 leather-look trousers appearing even smaller in the waist than the slim denims.
In the comments section, other women praised Ally for her video, with one writing: “Glad I’m not the only one this has happened to!
“I’m normally a size 8/10 in jeans and I have to get a size 14 from primark last week.”

“It’s been happening for years! I’m so surprised they haven’t sorted it out by now!” Ally replied.
“Primark ave always had dodgy sizes, I get so disheartened there, I’m only a 10-12 & what is with their changing room mirrors, they show everything,” another added.
With Ally responding: “I know! I won’t even go in the changing rooms anymore because they make me feel crap!”
“Need to ignore the labels! even in more expensive shops….” another person suggested.
“Yep, I’ve bought a 20 out of Primark before,” someone else commented.
