They stock a lovely range of dresses and tops and matching skirts. Also you can have shoes and bags dyed to match your dress. The staff are very helpful and couldn't be nicer. The clothes are expensive but are very good quality. The changing facilities are spacious and light which is ideal for trying on such nice clothes. You do have to pay to park in West Quay and it can be expensive so do check the charges as it's a pay on exit car park

Definately the best joke shop around!…read more U Need Us are suppliers of such items as wigs, makeup, tights, balloons, seasonal goods (xmas and halloween outfits namely), gag jokes (tar soap, itching powder, whoopee cushions) and costumes. It's a small shop for the number of items it sells, but it works really well and the staff are excellent and willing to help with nay requests!

Quite possibly the best place to come and get Hallowe'en decorations, or decorations in general…read more The store is horribly cramped, but everything is neatly organized into just two aisles and there is a heck of a lot of items for sale in such a tiny shop. They sell everything from costumes, masks, balloons, wigs and huge Hallowe'en props to latex body paint. I wanted to construct a ghost for an elaborate decoration one year and found out that they actually sold styrofoam mannequin heads for just £5! The shop also sells gags (hot chili mints, itching powder etc), as well as a decent variety of board games. The people who work there are quite friendly but are always inundated with crowds and there's never a proper queue, which can be annoying, but it's worth braving the crowds to get something unique here.

Very upmarket ladies shop that can hold my wifes' attention for some time. Excellent stock and very…read morewell displayed. Parking facilities are great as long as you have a local permit from local businesses. Prices very fair and such courteous staff that fall over backwards to help you.. Well done. My wife loves them.

This shop is England at it's most upmarket and quintessential. Winchester is a small market town 12…read moremiles north of Southampton and has an idyllic, relaxed atmosphere as you walk around the cobbled streets, through the cathederal grounds and along the river side. And the feel of Winchester life is encapsulated, bottled and gift-wrapped in this shop. It sells designer furniture, coffee table books, clothes, baby paraphenalia, very posh toiletries and things for the home. You might struggle to find anything you need in here and will have no trouble at all finding everything that you want. The innocent looking white swing tags pack quite a punch to the wallet and match the affluent clientele to a tee You never see men in here, you just see them waiting outside with a nervous look on their face! The upstairs is entirely dedicated to providing the beautiful Winchester ladies with suitable attire for their many social arrangements. The value of their clothes stock would probably pay for the entire relief effort needed to get Burma back on it's feet. The menswear is equally, effortlessly cool. The clothes hang by very contemporary banksy-style wall art. They have mixed this very modern style with the very much desired homely, rustic, family-orientated feel that Winchester oozes from every pore. The outcome is utterly irresistable. There is no average in here, in fact they are noticably aiming to be anything but average. The womenswear ranges from £50(t-shirts)-~£600(dresses, jackets, bags), with some affordable middleground. I have bought a few dresses from here - a butterfly print halterneck (£75) and a black wrap dress (£80). Menswear £30 (ubercool T-shirts)-£300 (jackets, suits). A fantastic place for stationary and little gifts. At Christmas time the whole of the town comes into it's own, doing the traditional Christmas with spectacular charm. The Hambledon becomes a heavenly Christmas wonderland, just make sure you bring your flexible friend along. Once every season (twice a year) the owners sell off all their designer clothing to make room for the new stock and just recently this has happened in a smaller shop a few minutes away, rented for 3 days or so and rammed to the rafters with designer bargains. Arrive early, the queues reached the 1 hour wait mark within 10 minutes of opening. And beware - these Winchester ladies don't hold back. And you need cash or cheque, they are open to a bit of bartering, so be prepared to strike a deal. Check out their website for details or to join their mailing list. I love this place, but it's extravagant, designer, way-too-cool image always leaves me feeling slightly uneasy and thinking about foreign aid crises So it's a comfortable 4 stars. It is, after all, in the south, you wouldn't find a place like this up north, not even in York :)

I really enjoy visiting this shop in my time off. It's so unique and has so much character with…read morelovely staff and a great asthenic. The only downside would be the price point but this shop is great for finding clothing, gifts and small brands.
