This is another gem of Horsforth that I had previously been unaware of until my recent visit. As…read morelingerie shops go I usually avoid them in favour of cheaper stores, since I am a fairly unassuming size which requires little specialist attention! I really do feel for any girls out there whose only option is to spend a vast amount purely due to their cup size requirements. But, I would suggest to those ladies, this shop may be the secret you've been hoping for. The first thing my friend and I noticed on entering was the extensive range of sizes within. Usually all you can hope for is B - E but we were seeing AAs to Gs, and beyond, all over the place! There was also a beautiful selection of night dresses, a lacy ruby red item caught my eye, some cosy looking dressing gowns and some delightful 'cyber jammies' pyjamas. My favourite nightwear item was a sort of 'boyfriend shirt' type night dress, which looked like it would be both comfy and sexy in that very casual kind of way. For all you nightwear and underwear needs this place is both great value and beautifully stocked. The staff are helpful too, so don't be afraid to ask. Lovely!

You'd normally think that larger sized cups come in boring designs and unflattering patterns. Nicola Jane has changed my perception of this immensely. Pretty, girly and fun seem to be the name of the game in this particular shop. Swimwear and sleepwear is also available and the variety of prices and styles means it's easy to tailor for different needs. Private appointments for lingerie fitting can be made by calling the shop and free measuring is available all day. Make sure you have self control over your budget before you enter!

Bravissimo is an absolute godsend of a shop for women who - like me - have breasts the size of…read moresmall African countries. Yes, the underwear there may be a little bit more expensive than the stuff you'd get somewhere like Debenhams or Marks and Spencers, but the quality of it is excellent - and I'd much rather pay a little bit extra to ensure that I'm wearing a bra that fits me properly. Most importantly of all though, the underwear it sells is attractive, an attribute which is sorely missing from a lot of larger sized lingerie currently being sold by a lot of other high street retailers. Bravissimo's staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive - and even better, they don't appear to suffer from that awful "cold hands" syndrome that many bra fitters appear to have. Often, they can tell what bra size you are just by looking at you, and aren't afraid to use their eyes and hands rather than a tape measure to ensure that you get the best, and most comfortable fit for your shape. The shop also stocks a wide range of attractive and flattering swimwear, and shirts and dresses which promise not to gape in the chest area - a problem that many larger breasted ladies face when they're buying clothing on the high street. All in all, this is a real gem of a lingerie store. I only wish there were more like it!

I used to be a little skater girl back in the day so Quiksilver and its sister brand Roxy became…read more'cool' in my twelve-year-old eyes. I do remember though getting a bit bored of the typical branded and stereotypically surfer-girl look to the clothing as it just seemed a bit too obvious. Quiksilver has changed a lot since then in its range for women, with much more in the way of stylish, flattering and interesting garments and none of the garish branding of yesteryear. Great! The women's wear in their Leeds shop is upstairs in a pleasant minimally decorated room with friendly staff. The guy's section on the ground floor still bears a strong resemblance to the clobber I remember from my skater days with many a logoed hoodie, but also some simpler, cooler items. They also sell a range of trainers, bags and wallets with the Quiksilver logo. I'm glad to see Quiksilver branching out to some more interesting designs for women, which still retain the slouchy, comfortable feel of skater gear.

The bounty of Quiksilver goods are cleverly placed around the small shop floor, utilising the height as well as the depth of the place. Ground floor, accessories, menswear, kids. First Floor, Roxy - ladies' wear. The buyers have chosen a good round mix of merchandise to kit the store out with. There are the trusty ski jackets, hooded tops, woolly hats, jeans, some footwear, wallets, backpacks, t shirts, shirts, swimwear and more. There's also four changing rooms. It's like Narnia. The brand speaks for itself, Quiksilver always provide good quality clothing, and the choice as said, is really good for the small store. I always like to take advantage of sales season, as Quiksilver do really discount their higher end prices, quite heavily, especially when a new season is looming, and I've had many a bargain from this little gem. The staff are always really helpful too. There's one lass, that whenever I go in she has a different hair colour, I think purple is the choice of the moment, anyway she's really nice, and really helpful especially if you're buying for someone else, be it a kidlet, a sister, the other half or whatnot. She has plenty of suggestions and has no qualms in routing around in the stockroom for sizes that aren't out on display. There's a youngish fella that works in there too, and I find him most helpful on technical clothing; if there's a new waterproofing technique or material quality to be had, he knows about it and he can explain it to you in detail. All in all it's a good lil shop with lots of things to choose from, and helpful cheery staff who actually look happy to be working there.

Soi 77 brands itself as a streetwear boutique, which is a good way of describing this little gem…read more Although I'm glad Exit is in excellent shopping proximity, stores like Freespirit and Route One closing have made me sad. Soi 77 makes me happy again, it's been around for a couple of years now and it presents itself to be a good and dare I say, trendy addition to Huddersfield, especially when you consider the amount of businesses that have shut in this large and lovely town lately. It's a small shop, but it crafts itself well, making use of all the space it has to offer, you can make purchase of coats, jackets, t-shirts, tops, jeans, sneakers, belts, belt buckles, backpacks and even the occasional piece of artwork. Covering brands such as Nike 6.0, Trainerspotter, Etines, Levis, Zoo York, Analog, Carhart and Addict, there's always something practical and brightly coloured in Soi 77. The owner is always here, and he's super nice and friendly and helpful, he also has the heads up on all future stock, being the owner and all, and if you can't get something in his store he's happy to direct in the way of others. My favourite department of Soi 77 is the belt buckle display in the front window!!! It's ever changing and it's shiny and it's awesome!!! I love it, they're also some of the most inexpensive belts and buckles I've seen, with a belt and buckle totalling in at £20. I've paid £10 for the belt alone on prior occasions.

There is also a number of skateboarding shoes and a few accessories - belts, belt buckles, sunglasses - just to name a few. The shop owner is a very cool guy, always helpful and welcoming. The items are rather expensive, but it is always a bit pricey in these kind of shops. This is one of the two best skate shops in town.

The sales turn up some incredible bargains, it's basically rude not to. Their customer service is always really good as well - on my last visit I took back a bra I had bought some time ago, realised didn't fit but had been delayed taking it back. Was worried I wouldn't be able to do much about it because of the time and the bra having gone in the sale which would have been a real waste because I have two matching items. However, I was helped to find the right size online (as it had sold out in the branch's sale - this was delivered free on Monday after having been ordered on Friday afternoon) and to get a bra extender to make sure it fit. At the same time, I had a super professional super helpful fitting, I think by Laura (or, as Boux likes to call her, "342169") who recommended best styles for my shape and introduced me to a new style of bra which I immediately bought because I love it so much! Incidentally, one of the very nice fitting rooms is fitted out for people with disabilities so even with my crutch and ye olde broken leg it was really easy and comfortable. Good work Boux!

Absolutely fantastic…read more I went in on the off chace for a bra fitting, which turns out to be the best decision I have ever made. I had been wearing a 36C my entire adult life when it turns out I am actually a 32E!!! The staff could not have been more helpful. I had no idea that bras had so many styles and shapes, and they were very kind in going through all the types and picking out the ones that best suited me. The particular sales assistant I had, Lauren, went above and beyond and I am very grateful to her. Yes, they are pricey. I think the cheapest is around £28, which is far more that what I would normally pay. However, since no other high street shops cater for the larger sizes, at least not in such a wide selection, it is definitely worth the investment! You are going to wear them every day after all, and a good fitting bra is essential for your health, well being and confidence! I haven't felt this fantastic in years! I went in the shop covered up in baggy tops and a cardigan, I was allowed to wear the bra I bought straight out the shop, and I left skipping out in just my vest and leggins because I felt so great!
