LET'S face it, trying on your usual size in any clothes shop, only to find it doesn't fit, is enough to ruin a day.
But one mid-sized fashion enthusiast has urged people to remember that the labels are to blame and not women's bodies.
Lauren Ramsden, who is from the UK, took to TikTok and shared a short video where she points out the huge variation in Primark sizing.
In the clip, she places a pair of blue size 10 jeans on top of a pair of size 16 grey jeans – and the size difference is minuscule.
She explains: "Girls who have felt s*** about the Primark sizes in Primark, this is for you."
"The blue denim is a size 10 I bought a while ago from Primark and the grey pair is a grey 16 – also from Primark."
