One piece I have was something she had pre made with swaroski crystals and pearl and the other piece was made to order with mother of pearl to match an outfit for a wedding.

I'm not usually a fan of Primark, but the Darlington store is impressive. Darlington is an…read moreaverage-sized town, yet its Primark store is one of the biggest I've seen, and it stocks a lot of items that I've only previously seen in the Oxford St, London store, such as its skincare ranges. The Primark store is now located in the Cornmill shopping centre, on the site of what once was, the C & A store, after moving from a location on the outskirts of town a few years ago. The Primark in Darlington is the first I'd ever heard of, a lot of years ago now, and before it ever became fashionable. The windows of the store always look inviting, with lots of models, male and female, young and old, sporting Primark's newest clothing ranges and accessories. At the entrance to the store there's usually a couple of sales racks, which does make the store look a bit cheap, in my opinion, but the rest of the store is well looked after, with tidy racks and rails and no clothes/hangers cluttering up the floors. This store has an extensive underwear and nightwear section on the ground floor as well. Upstairs, the menswear, childrenswear and Homeware are all squeezed on to one floor, so their ranges aren't quite as impressive as the women's, but there's still a decent level of stock, and it's all clean and tidy there too. This Primark does have a good selection of products that other Primarks I've visited don't have - the aforementioned 'smellies' and a gift section, with make-up sets and Christmas crackers.

Both markets operate in and around a beautiful building that was until the 1960's our Town Hall with it clock tower presiding over the High Row. The most recent changes has seen much of the towns shopping area pedestrianised an a water feature installed opposite the market halls main entrance. This was to make it possible for specialist markets to come to town on a regular basis and these have proved very popular and with the Christangle market coming soon with all the Christmas lights on the town centre takes on a special air.

I am not sure whether I am just getting old but there appears to be less adult clothes recently and more focus upon teenagers, and certainly the Darlington store have removed their plus size section. The range of shoes is good and, amongst some plastic and less quality items, you can find well priced leather shoes. Changing rooms are big and have seating so is good atmosphere and level of comfort for trying on.
