Primark remove mannequins with protruding ribs after Twitter complaints
PRIMARK REMOVED A mannequin with protruding ribs from their window display after a customer complained on Twitter.
Mel Fraser posted a photo of the window display in the Glasgow Braehead branch, which clearly shows the dummy’s visible ribcage under its bikini top.
Whoops!

The tweet has been retweeted over 1,650 times, with users saying the mannequin is ‘shocking’, ‘disgusting’, and ‘utterly terrifying’.
Writing on Instagram, Fraser distanced herself from ‘skinny bashing’, saying she just was concerned at the lack of representation for other body sizes.
Primark promptly replied after the tweet began gaining some traction.
Three days later, result. Primark confirmed that they had removed the display and that it will not be used again.
