Now when I was a little girl I always used to love the thought of bedtime because I would get ready for bed, my mom or dad would come and tuck me in and then read me a bedtime story (personally I would hope for my mom as she would do all of the characters whereas my dad used the same voice throughout). My family were not the richest family but my mom would always make sure my nightwear was of a good quality so I would get a good sleep. I think this is where my love of nightwear has come from so this is one of the main reasons why I decide to shop in La Senza.
Of course La Senza is also known for its fantastic lingerie and in this review I will try to explain to you why I cannot walk past this store without going in and usually buying something.

The shop itself;
Now when you see a La Senza store they usually look very airy and inviting. The sign will be in very large writing which has a very funky font. Usually you will see a splash of a very mellow yellow colour as many of the La Senza stores by me have their sign in silver writing and then the background is yellow.
La Senza stores are always pristine looking and very clean. The window displays are always of the highest quality and feature new and fashionable items that are sold within the store. In sale periods the window displays will change to some of the best sale items you can buy. As I said before the stores always look very airy and in the stores by me there is plenty of room for wheelchair and pushchair access.
Atmosphere in the stores is very relaxed and you won't get loud music playing in the stores as they play music at a very low level so you can just about hear it. In one of the stores near me they play the radio which is a nice change.
As you walk into the store you will be able to see the entire shop which means you will be able to immediately locate what item you are after and where to find it. In the main store that I go to which is located in the Bullring in Birmingham, immediately when you walk in you are surrounded by nightwear. The lingerie is located on the side walls so that it can be hung up properly whereas the main shop floor is taken up with the bigger clothes so the pyjamas and nighties and dressing gowns are located here and can be easily seen. With the lingerie on the walls it also means it is easy to see and identify the different designs. Clothes are also kept in styles so when you see something you like, all sizes will be kept there so you can see if they have yours in stock.
Any special offers there may be will be easily identifiable by labels located by the selection it refers to.
There will usually be fitting rooms towards the back of the shop which will be clearly labelled and there will usually be an assistant there to help so if you do need another size then you can just ask them to go and fetch one for you.
There will be one main sales desk to the store where you can pay for your items and also return them. There is usually two people manning this till and they work pretty quickly. The tills are always immaculate with small items on offer to buy such as little bags with beads in to make your drawers smell nice.

The clothes;
First let's start with the lingerie. Absolutely fantastic! There are styles here to suit everybody so if you are after everyday, t-shirt, sporty, cute, sexy or wow factors then you will probably find something to suit.
The bras first. They come in sizes from 30AA and go up to 38FF so the majority of people should be able to get the right size for them. In most La Senza stores there will be a bra measuring service so you can get the exact right size. The majority of bras (except for children and sporty bras) will be under wired so gives us women some support. The quality of the material used is fantastic and you can buy just normal bras or they do sell padded ones too or silky or cotton so again giving you a good choice. A bra will usually cost you in the region of £10 25 but trust me you get what you pay for as they last a hell of a long time.
The knickers. Again fantastic range and you can choose anything from thongs to those little cute short knickers that are all in fashion now. The knickers will come in sizes so by 8, 10, 12 etc or you may have to choose from small, medium or large. The selection is fantastic and usually you will be able to get the matching briefs to a bra you have chosen.
Now to my favourite La Senza items, the nightwear. Now you can buy nightwear for all occasions from here and it is all really cute and of a great quality. You can usually find something for every occasion so short pyjama sets for when you are warm, trouser pyjama sets for when you are cold, nighties for when you are feeling ill and you do not want anything to cling to you and sexy pyjamas and slips for when you are in a sexy mood.
The pyjama sets are usually the first thing you see when you walk into a store and they have a range of different colours read more
