Firstly, Bunti Martini tried Primark, and documented the experience in a video on her TikTok page.
“Sizing was pretty bad – barely anything past a size 16,” the Welsh redhead noted of the store.
She tried on a size 18 dress first of all, but the buttons were bursting on her.
Next was an orange checked top and a pair of patterned flares, which were in a size 18-20, but appeared to be pretty tight on her curves.

She then hit New Look, adding that the store had a “much better selection for us plus size baddies”.
A silky green leopard-print dress was first up, in a size 16, and clung to her figure in all the right places.
She tried another floral-print dress in a size 18 but unfortunately it “couldn’t fit the boobs”.
“Stunning print though,” she smiled.
