Isn't Primark fabulous? :D I got my flip flops there last year, and several bikinis, vest tops and ¾ pants. The flips flops I got were brown with glittery straps, I bought them just for daytime but they came in handy for evenings (and still looked good) after I twisted my ankle in Turkey and couldn't get my nice shoes on.
I'm hoping to get time to nip in there next week - we're going away for Easter and I'd like a nice long evening skirt (or two or three) :wink:

I adore primark! I'm treating myself to all new bikinis this year, but at their prices, it's hardly a massive splurge! And their stuff washes so well :)

I wish I could shop there for my bikini's and matalan but I have to spend a small fortune on supporting tops as shops like this don't seem to cater for double d cups. They have some lovely ones in matalan but when I tried them on, they didn't do much for me, pants were good though ( I don't doooo topless) :lol:

I bought my bikini's at Debenhams last week. They sell the bottoms seperately and the staff measured me too for a perfect fit. Bit pricey but they fit me perfect. You can order bikini's on line at M&S.Now I need some flip flops to go with them.
Primark here I come as my feet are normal size :rofl

Debbq - in answer to your query, I was in Primark on Wednesday and they did have flip flops in. Didn't look to close, so can't tell you what sort they had.

Did Debenhams have DD's as well? Only I'm looking for Easter as well, if not it will be back to M&S as usual. I'd love to be able to get them in Primark as I'd be able to buy more. :wink:

I am also large on top and find Tesco Tankini and bikini tops ok as I need 18 tops and 12-14 bottoms !

Debenhams do DD and up to E cups in the Gorgeous range of swimwear. As do Lepel which you can buy in Debs or online.....I bought most of mine last year on Ebay as there's an abundance of plus size swimwear on their with good cup sizes. Debs and Lepel have both launched their ranges of swimwear online for 2007 already so plenty to choose from.

Another good one to try is simplybe

Will also give Tesco a look.

Still waiting for the new Liverpool Primark to open. I have to traipse to Birkenhead or Manchester. Grrr. :evil: I still have 2 of those £3 straw handbags from a year or so ago. One pink , one neutral.

Lots of choice at Figleaves. Managed to buy a tankini in the sale (there is still a sale on but only up to 30% off now, was 70%)

Went into Debenhams last week and tried on loads but couldn't find any (My body was the problem rather than the cozzies :( !)
Then went and found one in Asda that didn't make me look too bad! :oops:
