The prices may be on the higher side…read more(sometimes £60 for an evening wear top), but the materials are high quality and last for a long time, so you do get what you pay for. The designs, cut and colours of the clothes are always unique but accessible, so you feel like you're wearing something high-fashion in that it's different from other stores, but without such a ridiculous price tag. The shoes and accessories aren't bad either, but the absolute best thing to go shopping there for are the underwear and socks - they often have really cute designs on them (pandas, cartoon policemen etc) and always have offers if you buy in bulk (3 for £7 etc). The staff are aways really helpful - my Dad said he had printed off a 30-page (heh heh) wishlist of clothes from their website that I wanted for Christmas, and one of the sales assistants gladly took him round the shop and helped him find whatever they had in stock - and this was on Christmas Eve!

This shop is geared for ladies size 14 plus with a variety of styles to suit most ages. The shop…read morestaff here are not particularly friendly or helpful and a smile occasionally would be nice. There is not a huge range here but you should be able to find something smart or casual - prices are quite high though as with all Evans stores. There is a lift for disabled access, otherwise there is an escalator up and stairs down. My experience here is definately take a friend with you to help decide your outfit as staff are minimun and rarely wish to venture on to the shop floor! This is, however, a great place to buy shoes and boots for ladies whos feet are longer than the average i.e size 9 or are wider round the calves for most other boots , as they will fit comfortably.

Hi. I'm from Denmark. Visited Bonmarché in Southampton this summer. As I am a size 22, I sometimes…read morefind it hard to find nice clothes over here in Denmark - but my visit to Bonmarché cost me GBP 103 - but for that amount I got 17 different items really great. In Denmark, the stores for large women like me tend to think that we want to wear frills and large flowers which I definitely DON'T, so I love my stuff from Bonmarché. Will actually be going to Reading in a few days, and can't wait to visit Bonmarché there! I agree with other reviews here on QYPE - the clothes are generally for the more mature woman (I'm 51) - and a lot of it I didn't like. But that's the kind of shop I like - something for everyone! Brilliant! Can't wait :-)

We all love shoes, and raw sells shoes, and many of them. Not the biggest store in the world this…read moreone, but seems to have a really good collection. They stock most ranges, but probably more for the alternative sort of person or a hill walker, and a lot of the stuff in here is more chunky and darker. Usual prices for this sort of gear, you can watch out for a few bargains, but i tend to find the sale items are usually small or large sizes and not the most common.

Oh my god! this shoe shop is awesome! They do a brilliant collection of Dr Martens! (got my funky…read moreleopard print ones in here!) and they do vegetarian shoes, boots, and they are all quite weird and quirky !

This is a large Next store selling womens, mens and childrens clothes. As it is an outlet store it…read moresells last seasons goods that didn't sell elsewhere. That said you can pick up a good bargain here if you are willing to look hard. I find Next clothes very good for work and as such it doesn't matter as much if it isn't up to date fashions as blouses and suits change very little between seasons. The store is spacious and offers plenty of room for browsing. When there is not a sale on the prices are still good but the store is a lot more tidy. As in all Next stores when a sale is on you have to rummage hard to find what you want. Unfortunately there are no changing rooms in this store which means that you might have to gamble on something fitting you. However the staff are willing to exchange goods if you find an item does not fit when you get home.

A couple of minutes walk from the main shopping hub is this upmarket ladieswear shop. On the…read moretraditional side, the emphasis appears to be on quality, classic looks with a few touches of mild eccentricity (which I appreciated) in the form of Cornelia James mauve and green snakeskin belts. Staff are welcoming and attentive but the ambiance is a little stiffer, more formal and less fun than in funkier designer boutiques. If you're less inclined to browse and not into fashion experimentation, it could be just what you need.

There is a big car park but it doea get very busy, particularly in the run up to Christmas, and you may find yourself queuing to get in. It's not easy to get to by public transport. The store itself has a huge range of toys, but it is quite crowded and can be difficult to find what you're looking for if you go in for something specific. And it can be worth checking prices elsewhere as, although they do have some good deals, some of the prices seem expensive compared to other places. However, it is a good place for browsing for ideas and to see what's new in the world of toys and games.

This is a large store and larger items such as play houses and bikes can be viewed in store before buying which is an advantage. The prices can be overly inflated at times, that said they often have very good promotions running too so you need to take note on the prices of any items you are buying. The tills do seem to be very busy, but the staff have always been polite and served me efficiently.
