Woman slams shop sizes as Primark size 6 and 18 both fit her perfectly

A woman has hit out at clothing sizes after being able to fit into both a size 6 and 18 while shopping in Primark.

Sarah-Louise Gee took to TikTok to compare the two products from the high-street clothing giant, which has gone viral.

The XS top is made to fit a size 6, meanwhile, Sarah-Louise also tried on a size 18 skirt - both fitted her perfectly.

She also tried on size 12 and size 14 jeans, from Zara and New Look respectively, which both fitted, but a size 14 pair in Primark wouldn't button up, reports BirminghamLive.

Sarah-Louise, who shares on TikTok as @sarahlouisegee0, has urged her fans to 'pay no attention to clothing size', as others rushed to the comments to praise her for spreading the message.

Sarah-Louise said: "I remember being so disheartened if I couldn't fit in my 'usual' size. But now I know it actually doesn't matter one bit!"

Sarah-Louise's video resonated with her followers as soon she was inundated with comments from people who were glad to hear the advice.

One said: "Thank you for this."

Then another added: "This is such an important message to get across. Well done."

A OnePoll survey for the union GMB found 92% of women don't fit into the same size clothes but 82% wanted standardised sizing.

Computer programmer Anna Powell-Smith created website, What Size Am I?, which promises to tell women the size they really are in different High Street stores, using their bust, waist and hip measurements. TV psychologist Emma Kenny said: "Don't allow -sizing to dictate happiness. Society has made it desirable to be a small six or eight dress size.

"I did a study of body image and was staggered to find 20% of women would -prefer to have heart problems if they could stay slim. This is the way we're breeding our young girls - that small is healthy."
