Who doesn't want to look like a reincarnation of Jessica Rabbit? Although it's one of the oldest tricks in the book, you can't deny the fantastic hourglass effect and confidence corsets give a woman. Especially now, as burlesque is as popular as ever. Nikita Sablier is the brainchild of Nikki Hambry, and although the store has only been open since July of 2008, it is already a raging success. You can find a number of corsets by designers that she has handpicked herself. Most of the pieces are hand made and cater to the luxury market, but this shouldn't put you off, because like a bra, a corset is an investment, and the quality and sturdiness of each one is assured. My favourite is a cream corset, all satin and lace and steel boning. Might have to get myself a credit card though - it's £299!

Wonderful vintage clothes but most of all fabulous corsets, priced from £40 to £170. The corsets…read moreare beautiful and well made. The owner Nikki is very helpful and approachable. The problem is not how to find the prefect corset but how to choose which one.

They also sell knitwear, tops and bags but i find most of there pieces are for eveningwear, you can pick up alot of delicate and elegant things here. In terms of prices everything is veeery expensive but the quality is brilliant. Although I have just found out that they also have a Fairtrade range of jeans and cotton tops which are competively priced in comparison with fairtrade items you can get in other shops. e.g jeans £45 and long sleeved teeshirts £18 which i think is really good price.

The store is in a great location in the centre of town, so really convenient for browsing or picking up a few things when you're out shopping. Debenhams also offers a great points-based reward card for cosmetics purchases, the Beauty Club Card, giving you a £5 discount for every £167 you spend - there are better reward programs out there but always helpful if you shop here often. The customer service, however, is my main complaint! Most of the time there will be absolutely no-one to be seen at a counter. When I've asked other staff members to help me, even when I know the exact item I want to purchase, they're quite unfriendly and seem like they'd rather be doing literally anything else than serving me and act like my business is a huge hassle and inconvenience to them. Many times I've just gone to buy the same thing in another department store up the road instead! Conversely, when there is someone at the counter, on several occasions I felt like I was being forced into a purchase, as if the staff were completely desperate to get rid of certain products, rather than considering my personal needs or being genuinely helpful. A miserable and stressful shopping experience! Additionally, I would NOT recommend the Benefit Brow Bar at this location! I'd heard so many good things about Benefit and wanted to get my overgrown brows shaped in time for my upcoming holiday, instructing the technician to leave them full with a natural shape, as I only wanted them tidied up. Rather than using the vacant treatment room, she waxed my brows in front of all the customers (and this was quite a busy day) and I noticed a few laughing and sniggering at my discomfort. It was much more painful than any brow waxing I'd ever experienced as she kept waxing the same areas over, and when I looked in the mirror.. nearly all of my brow hairs were gone! Instead of full, luscious brows I was left with two skinny tadpoles and an expression of permanent surprise. I started to cry a little after seeing them and she had the audacity to ask if I wanted to make another appointment! Needless to say I will NEVER go back and had to use so much makeup to make them resemble eyebrows for months afterwards. If you want value for money and a pleasant shopping experience, stay well away! Although Debenhams have a rewards system and sometimes have deals worth browsing in the sales after Christmas, I won't be coming back any time soon. There are other department stores in town selling the same products with far better customer service!

The clothes seem rather blah on the whole, although I used to get some bits for my daughter. Upstairs, though, they do brides dresses, bridesmaids and page boys. You need to make an appointment for this, so that some one is available to give the time. They display bridal gowns in the window, and, like anywhere, they vary a great deal. My own bridal dress was not expensive at all, and if I hadn't found that I would consider a secondhand one.
