I guess I'd give it 3 stars if it were larger, but there's not a whole lot you can get from such a small shop. It's the same cheap, maxi dresses you'll get in most such places in the summer, but as I always like to point out, you really never know what you'll find until you look. They may just have that dress in a certain colour that you've been looking all over for.

The clothing is fairly dressy with some stunning long evening dresses (some brightly coloured) but also some less dressy tops that you could wear in the evening, possibly the day time, depending on your engagement. My favourite find, although I didn't purchase it was a short red dress with a ruffle effect at the top. I was trying to work out where on earth I would wear the dress. I have so many in my wardrobe that I just couldn't possibly, at the minute, justify another buy. So thanks Desire but I need to find a reason for a new purchase, but hope to see you again soon!

Level Beyond is somewhat unusual compared to the surrounding fashion shops as it sells both women's…read moreand men's clothing. Most of the women's clothes were the typical Maxi dresses and sun dresses that are in style this summer (2010), though they were cheap ones, and the men's items were mainly T-shirts and shoes but there were some other items as well. Ah, what more can be said? After a while these shops all start to seem the same. If you're looking for some cheap clothes, have a gander around here, and then move on to the samey-samey (as my husband says) shops around it.

Fits Perfect is a little clothing alterations/craft supply stall combo inside The Shopping Village…read morein the Huyton Shopping Centre. As far as alterations, I can't really vouch for them since I have never taken anything here to be altered. But I'm sure you can ask them about their experience, and their procedures to get an idea of what they will do and how much it will cost. For craft supplies, they do sell very little, but they have a fairly good selection of ribbons, and a small section of knitting wool (or yarn, as it's really called, for goodness sake! Heh heh.) If you're after craft supplies, try the Birkenhead Market or the St Johns Retail Market as there are better craft stalls there, or find one of the many Abakan stores as they have far more variety.

This is the second Mishka in the area- the original is on Oxford Road. They are owned by a local…read moreman who sources original fashion peices at reasonable prices. The staff in this shop are rather unfriendly, which is a shame, as the goods are not expensive enough to deserve any snobbiness! They sell dresses, coats, tops, trousers, and a small selection of jewellery. The clothes around the £20 mark. They have lovely stuff, mostly flowy, floral numbers. Its a good place to come for some inexpensive summer outfits. Its only a small shop though so can feel a bit cramped once you get a hnadful of customers in.

This is slightly nicer than some of the surrounding women's shops, but still not extremely high…read morequality. But if you're after some bargains, they have some nice summer stuff that should suffice. Besides the usual summer dresses, when I went in they were also selling purses and handbags, shoes, and some accessories. Definitely worth a look around if you're in the area and your wardrobe needs a boost. There are quite a few other shops nearby that sell women's clothes, but in the shopping centre and the market.

Having tried out many similar shops in the past I didnt hold out much hope for Fashion Warehouse…read morebut I decided to give it a go. From the outside the shop looks very small and dark but once you get through the door it's a very different story. The shop is massive inside, extending round the corner to a whole new large area, and it is bright and airy inside. The shop is well stocked, supplyoing every type of clothing item you can thing of. There are items of all styles and sizes, suited to many different ages. I expected to leave empty handed but this was definitely not the case and I havwe been back many times.

Inside the shop, clothes are neatly set out in piles or hung up on wooden hangers (which always indicates that you won't be paying cheap prices). I like the clothes and on special occasions I splurge out on my boyfriend, who doesn't really like brand clothes, but that is not the point, I do to some extent. There is a good selection of brands including John Smedley, Matinique, Hilfiger, Nicholas Deakins and Fila. If splurging out I bother with the shirts rather than the trousers, followed closely by the shoes. Of all three, I prefer the selection of shirts in Designer Boutique the best.
