Woman fumes about high street clothes sizes as she shows a New Look 10 and Primark 18 which are EXACTLY the same size
A WOMAN has gone viral after fuming about the difference in clothes sizes on the high street – showing a New Look size 10 skirt and a Primark 18 which look to be exactly the same size.
Jessica Quelch took to TikTok to share her find, as she lined up skirts and jeans from different stores in a bid to illustrate the discrepancies in clothes sizing in the UK.

“Now I’m not massive – I’m not skinny either,” she began.
“But I would like to know why these three skirts are exactly the same size.
“We’ve got a 14, we’ve got a 12 and we’ve also got an 18 from Primark.”
Moving over to a faux leather style skirt, she added: “And that being said, shall we have a discussion about how this skirt is exactly the same size as the one behind it.

“And how this one is a size 10 from New Look and this one is a size 18 from Primark.”
She then turned the camera to a pile of jeans on the floor as she continued: “Don’t even get me started on jeans.
“Every single pair of these jeans is exactly the same size, so I’m largely confused, on how we’ve got here.
“These are all exactly the same size yet they all completely fit, and are, different.”

People were quick to comment on Jessica’s video, with one writing: “Those jeans… and did notice that at least 3 pairs were from new look so you’d think they’d be same.”
“Dunno why they can’t just use inches as sizing guides…. you know Just like they do with men’s clothing!” another person commented, with Jessica replying: “Yesssssss.”
“Primark is a joke tbh I’m a size 12 just fit no one believes me as I’m slim drives me barmy hence I don’t buy new clothes now,” a third wrote.
