I've tried on some gorgeous trousers in here (the only reason I didn't make the purchase was because they were the wrong colour in the end) and bought a summer t-shirt for £18 that I've worn to death. They've also got some great accessories in here - belts and necklaces and reasonably priced shoes, although I've never found what I wanted in my size! Probably a good thing because I've be buying all of them

Bond is a boutique that stocks tunics, dresses, trousers, tops and skirts by labels such as Glamorous, Sugarhill Boutique and Vero Moda.

Thanks to Bond you can get all the latest trends without emptying your wallet.

Until last week I didn't consider myself a nudist but I am a true noodist now! This petite boutique…read moreon the leafy Beech Road area of Chorlton Cum Hardy literally drags you in off the pavement with its eye-catching window display. Whoever designed the window display is an artist as a scarecrow dressed in the most yummy butterfly halter-neck stands in a landscape of flowers. I entered in a trance like state and the lovely assistant Rebecca helpfully talked me through the stock. I loved the fact that they do not buy in bulk and you view each garment as a "piece" rather than simply clothes. Prices are moderate, slightly more than high street chains but you don't mind paying £60 for a unique Nood creation as opposed to £45 for a high street clone. Colours are bright and fabrics are great quality. Recognisable names such as Religion get into bed with new designer wares. This is no run of the mill ladieswear. A new range of gorgeous dove grey vintage inspired oilcloth bags and cute jewellery are also available to compliment your outfit. Open Monday to Saturday from 10.30am -6pm, Nood also opens its doors on a Sunday (12-5pm)- very handy for weekday nine to fivers. So did I buy the butterfly dress? Sadly no as Rebecca explained its lining was shop damaged, however she kindly offered to repair it for me. Lovely attitude, lovely shop. Definately one to seek out..

This longevity is testament to the enduring talent of owner Alison, who has continually offered an eclectic mix of clothes, accessories and shoes from her own portfolio as well as interesting ranges from other designers like Religion, Gash and Get Cutie. It never feels stagnant in here, she keeps it fresh and all the accessories, bags and belts are so different to what you'd find on the high street. What I love most about this store though is it caters for every pocket. You can see why it has such a wide appeal.

He…read morehad every right to be jealous because I have developed an unhealthy obsession for this place. The brother of Six clothes shop in Urmston, Fred's is a plethora of funky, pretty and stylish ensembles and as only approximately three of each garment is stocked, you don't run the risk of seeing clones of yourself about town....is there anything more irritating?! A fresh green exterior leads you into a boudoir of flocked wallpaper and huge ornate mirrors. The store itself is small and can get really crowded especially on weekends, yet the changing room is spacious with two cubicles ( I just whip my clothes off in the area outside them, it beats a long wait). From floral boho maxis to vintage looking 60's lace minis. From cute summer dresses ( I bought a yellow/purple floral creation last year and was never out of it), to sexy sequinned numbers, Fred's has something for everyone. Prices are superb too! Most dresses range from only £18 to £30 with a couple of exceptions. The staff are terrific, Fred is so helpful and amazing at sourcing original clothes, teenage Saturday girls cannot do enough for you. Yes dear husband, another man has entered my life and stolen my heart.

The last time I called in they had a rail of chunky knit jumpers going for £20 each. Styles lean more towards the younger market a pretty mini dress with a bunny print and lace collar caught my eye. Other items included cute tops with character prints and stripes and polka dots seemed to be popular. If you buy from Fred's it's unlikely you're going to bump into anyone else wearing the same thing. This is not your average high street stuff. Knowledgeable staff make this a relaxed and enjoyable shopping experience.

The designs are completely niche, so if you are looking for something eclectic and unique.... I would head here! They have a lovely jewellery collection too, that is similarly different in design, and a men's section full of modern pieces from tweeds and t-shirts! You can expect to pay well over £100 for a show piece evening dress, and around the £50 mark for a statement item for your casual wardrobe.

In fact not only are most sold on the high street (try House of Fraser) they are also sold for a fraction of te price. I recently bought a dress for a wedding at £85 from Fonda only to discover the exact same item sold at £47 (at full price, not a sale item) at HoF. Fonda refuses to give refunds leaving me stuck with the over payment. I took the liberty of googling a number of other items, each one being vastly more expensive at Fonda. These two shops may be useful to browse for ideas but always google before committing to purchase or be prepared to feel thoroughly ripped off!

The shop sells clothes for both men and women with most of the pieces being a one off.... so if you like something well enough to pay the rather inflated price, the likely hood is that you will be the only person in Manchester wearing it! The shop is fairly small, but the wide range of stock is neatly placed on east access rails. The only downside is the staff sometimes seem to have been a little distracted when I popped in, I don't know if this is because I am not head-to-toe in designer gear, but I get the feeling it is!

The clothes are all really pretty and nice and shiny and colourful and the girls look nice with them on. Also, its much cheaper than most of the places for clothes in Rusholme. This and the nearby Shagun seem to me to be the TK-Max of Rusholme fashion, by which I mean that they sell the same clothes, but arrange them in a disorderly fashion and cut the prices drastically. Can't work out why they do this, or why people still buy the same clothes from the more expensive shops. Any ideas?

What a name. The rehabilitation of retro garments... I'm SO there…read more Dinky? I'll say. There's a lot to be said for small vintage shops as you can do all your rummaging quick sharp, and this place is perfect for that very purpose. As previous Yelpers have confirmed the stock rotation is indeed frequent, so be sure to pop in any time you're in the Northern Quarter. One of the things I love about this titchy boutique is the shoes... the brunette and I were drooling over little red pixie boots for quite some time. There are plenty of customised one-offs and second hand garments to choose from, and no doubt anything you buy from there will attract envious attention from friends. Unfortunately it doesn't cater for men, however a great many high street fashion shops don't either, so I don't have a gargantuan issue with that. The staff are very friendly and appropriately quirky themselves, so if you're stuck for inspiration you can always have a gander at what they're wearing. Prices vary depending on the item but no label has made me gasp in agony thus far. And I had no idea about the buy one get one free sales, so thanks to Alexandra I'll certainly be looking out for those in the future! And who can resist aqua-marine, well, I can't. This store has done extremely well in making itself conspicuous amongst the many shabby chic boutiques along Oldham Street, and it has definitely earned its place as one of the shops that very much makes the Northern Quarter feel like the Camden of Manchester. Chin chin to you, Retro Rehab.
