I did a huge Primark haul but it didn’t go well… I looked like a Victorian maid in one dress, it was downhill from there
A PRIMARK superfan has revealed her honest thoughts on some of Primark’s newest releases – and claimed that one dress made her look like a Victorian child.
Rachel took to TikTok to share her thoughts on some of the new pieces she picked for Spring – but sadly she didn’t love them all.
The content creator, known online as @rachelspicer_, regularly shares fashion hauls with her 2.3 million followers.
During the reel, Rachel is first seen trying on Primark‘s Drawstring Waist Midi Dress in khaki, priced at £18.
She said: “It’s giving Victorian. I just need a little pinny, I need a little apron. Please sir, can I have some more?
“I just like a wee dress to chuck on when it’s warm.
“I feel like I’m wearing a khaki bin bag.
“Keep, return. Keep, return. I think it’s a return. Next.”
Rachel is then seen wearing a short smock dress in a bright green shade, costing just £12.
She continued: “I know what you’re going to say, it needs an iron but I quite like this.
“I just like a little floaty dress during the warmer months. In Scotland, we don’t get a lot of them but just something I can shove my crocs on [with] when it’s too warm and go do my thing.
“I’m keeping it. I like it.”
The savvy shopper also picked up a cropped green and white checked, high-neck knitted jumper, on sale for £3.
She paired this with white drawcord parachute trousers, available online and in-store for £20.
The TikTokker added: “I wanted to try parachute pants but I feel like a painter.
“What do we think? I don’t know, do I look silly?
“Rustle, rustle. Is this a look?”
She added: “Why do I look like Slenderman?”
“They make funny noises. I’m quite comfy but white trousers, I’m a skiddler, when I eat, I drop things. Could I trust myself with white parachute pants?
“Are they see-through? I don’t know.”
In another video, Rachel tried on some other pieces she picked up, including the viral seamless bike shorts and crop top co-ord in a bright blue.
She added: “I feel naked. I feel exposed. I feel like a stuffed sausage.
“Very thick material, actually.
“Saw everyone raving about these on TikTok. It’s meant for the skinnier people, I think.
“If I stand like this then maybe. I’ve also just had a chippy.”
“Gonna keep, would never wear together.
“I’m going to keep the bottoms for like baggy top, baggy jumper. Keep the top for baggy bottoms, floaty skirt, or jeans.”
She also picked up a floral midi skirt, with pink, purple, and green flowers.
“I ran to Primark after seeing this skirt on Abby’s story. Green, pink. I love it.
“Oh, it’s getting me ready for spring, summer vibes. The colourful, the bright, the bold. I like.”
Fans loved hearing her first impressions, with the video gaining more than 108, 600 likes and 836,000 views.
In the comments, other TikTok users shared their reactions, with one writing: “The second dress is stunning on you!!!! Beautiful.”
Another said: “I like the parachute pants actually!”
Sharing their thoughts on the khaki midi dress, someone else put: “Giving handmaid tale vibes.”
“That first one reminds me of aunt Lydia,” agreed another.
