"The new sizing is trickling into stores now and will be used for a small amount of lingerie plus a large selection of womenswear including: Jumpers, cardigans, jersey tops, sports tops, casual bottoms, workout apparel, shorts (not denim shorts), light jackets and some swimwear."
Louise McSherry, an advocate for body positivity took to Twitter this morning to share her delight with the news, saying that it's a great step in the right direction.
I am THRILLED by the news that @Primark (PENNEYS HUNS!) is extending its size range to a 24. Such a great step in the right direction.

One of the hardest things for me as a teenage girl was not being able to shop in the same places as my pals, so it thrills me to think that gals like me will be able to pop into Penneys and pick up a few bits.

Obviously I’m happy that it’ll be easier for me to shop there too, but it’s bigger than that. Other retailers need to cop on and follow suit.
