They have everyday wear to formal dresses. I went to the store the week it opened and they were giving away free champagne and manicures. They also had professionals there to help you pick clothes that best suited your body type, which was amazing.

To me, this store seemed like a Zara outlet - it was much more up market than other competing High Street stores. There was a large selection of clothes and accessories for women and when I popped in it was well staffed. Obviously there wasn't much in there for me but If I was a fashionable lady I would give Stradivarius a go ;)

This is my new favourite clothes store. It's a welcome addition to Belfast, as I had got sick of…read morethe same old clothes across all of the usual high street stores. It has occasional quirky little items. Stradivarius has casual clothes nicely arranged at the front of the store for everyday wear and more dressy towards the back. All of the accessories are arranged around items that they would go particularly well with. The changing rooms are well staffed and run effectively. There are pleasant staff members at the check out too. Reasonable prices.

There was once upon when a time when a Ballyclare lass, looking an outfit for that special occasion…read morecould be guaranteed The Wardrobe would be able to provide her whatever she had in mind. They sold something for everyone (if you could afford it, as it can be rather expensive) but alas, gone are those days and the shop now seems to stock fashions for the older lady that I'm not even sure my Granny would wear. I will admit that they do sell a fabulous range of handbags and shoes, but their clothing seems to have gone well down hill. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this, my mums side of the family are from Ballyclare (nine kids altogether - five of which were girls and they all loved a pay day treat in this store) they all agree that it just isn't what it used to be. Sadly so, the other fashion stores in the town seem to have cornered the fashionable market stakes and The Wardrobe are left with the high end price tag, and some rather gaudy, 'wouldn't be caught dead in' trends. Now I will give them their dues, they're known for being a great stockist of 'Mother of the bride' outfits and the accessories I spied were fantastically beautiful. (See pictures) maybe I'm too young or my style is too alternative to appreciate the clothes here ... (I really don't think so though) but The Wardrobe just isn't what it used to be. Sadly it would appear the likes of Joli (- Fab! See review) or One have garnered the niche area of the market and left The Wardrobe lagging sadly behind.

I purchased a dress here on 12th April 2019, however I did not like it on and returned it within the 7 day full refund period and was told the amount was too large to put straight back onto my card so would be done by Lisa herself that evening, its now the 29th May 2019 and I have still not received a refund as promised and they will not answer my calls or messages and have blocked me from Facebook. Totally unprofessional and Hannah one of their staff members was down right rude and ignorant and should not be allowed to speak to customers the way she did. On another note they have a really lovely girl called Bethany that works in store and I would like to thank her for all her help.

I used to walk past Couples without even looking in as I thought it somehow gave off a 'middle age'…read morevibe. How wrong was I? Yes, there are some clothes that only ladies of a certain age should consider, but Couples is also jammed with lovelies from St Martins, Desigual and lots of little independent labels. You can spend as much or as little as your budget allows as some of the ranges are very affordable while others are for special occasions only. Even the cheaper ranges look more expensive than they actually are as they're unusual and not what you'll see in chain stores. Couples also has some funky shoes and if you've got a wedding to go to, they have fascinators and wraps too. Definitely worth a visit if you want something just a little bit different to all the other fashion dollies on the high street.

They have some lovely outfits here available for that age and style of a woman, and are very good at helping people choose what they need to prepare and dress for the big day - because as we all know, the Mother of the Bride needs to look good too. We went here with my friends' Mum, who was trying to find an outfit for the wedding, and she tried on nearly every bloody outfit in the shop - but the staff had real patience and what seemed a genuine interest in helping her find 'that' outfit. She didn't find the one for her here, but I have to say it's worth a look for women of that age and taste who are looking for an important outfit for a wedding or special event.

This gorgeous boutique is situated in Queen's Arcade, and is a tiny but perfectly formed shop which…read moresells the most beautiful dresses. Every possible colour, shape and style is avaliable, as well as numerous delightfully kitsch gifts, making this an excellent place if you're shopping for a special occasion. It is pricey enough, with the dresses ranging in price from £60-£200, but you would be guaranteed that no-one else would be wearing the same one (such a disaster when that happens!). When my sister and I took a peek at these exquisite dresses, her cries of "oooh" and "ahhh" reflected the level of wonderment at such lovely garments, and for me, this is what really makes Atelier. The girl who was 'on duty', so to speak, was lovely and helpful, and didn't mind us hunting through the rails. Even if you go just to window shop, definitely pay this lovely wee place a visit.

Atelier - (for those who -like me - didn't know, this is defined as 'an artists studio or workroom'…read moreI didn't think much of this name until I discovered this!) Stop press! Wow! Wow! Wow! How have I never known of this shop before? It's so elegant and beautiful. There are three lovely girls who work in the shop and they design all the items they sell. Lizzie makes the dresses, Ursula makes the accessories, handbags and head wear, then the other (I'm so sorry I've forgotten her name, I'll repost it) creates the jewellery. This whole process just makes me smile. I love it! I will definitely be back here. It's such a little gem of a shop hidden away in this arcade. The store is beautifully laid out and they sell some amazing items (see 'The Good Book' a hollowed out book with a mini flask hidden inside!) The dress maker, Lizzie Agnew, is famous by name. Her dresses have featured in Tatler, The Wedding Journal, and The Guardian. She creates beautiful vintage inspired silk gowns designed and made to order. I've seen some of these both in the shop and on her website and OH WOW! If I ever have the funds/occasion/need to get a tailor made dress it will be here. They're simply heavenly! Ladies, get yourself down here now. Don't miss out any longer!
