This is a high end designer clothes shop. I've only been in recently when there was a 50% off sale…read more The changing room is spacious, with a full length mirror, but its fairly communal. The staff are great. They will put an item by for you, and you can pay gradually. The shop is comfortable to be in with a sofa near the door where I sat, waiting for my friend, and then waiting to pay.

Hidden up two flights of stairs on a side street near L1 is The Dressing Room. My expectation was…read morethat this vintage designer boutique would be way out of my price range and rather elitest. How wrong I was! It's a gorgeous set-up with chandeliers and fabric draped across the ceiling with luxurious silky curtains. It reminded me of a princess's dressing room (and boy does she have good taste!) No two items are the same and they choose only the finest quality vintage outfits, none of that run of the mill 'I'll have to sew that here, and take that up there' nonsense. They not only sell vintage but also designer and upcoming labels which are all mixed together on the rails, hanging lovingly side by side could be a stunning designer dress and a 1920s vintage piece. The price ranges are as varied as the styles with dresses ranging from £20 to around £500 so everyone has the opportunity to buy their little piece of unique clothing! The accessories were amazing, they had headbands, brooches, rings, earrings... all sorts of little gems that would be great as gifts or as a personal treat, now these were the real bargains, all carefully handpicked and oh so cheap. Forget the common Topshop dresses and the outfit clashes and purchase some top quality threads from a boutique that will make you feel like royalty. They had some beautiful prom dress style formal wear, I just need an occasion and I'll be back with my credit card quicker than you can say Gok Wan.

I am definitely a fan of The Dressing Room…read more I remember when it first opened and I thought "I won't be shopping in there; it'll be all the same stuff I can get cheaper in town; it'll be overpriced; the staff with be stuck up and unapproachable," but once again, I was proved wrong and very cynical. The Dressing Room stocks a beautiful collection of clothes accessories and jewellery which is not easily found in town, there's a real sense of style in here and the window displays are consistently alurring. The prices are not extortionate and considering the convenience of the store, are actually very reasonable. The staff, in my experience, are variable: some days they're friendly, some days not, but they're only human and everybody has an off day! I would say this shop has a particular target audience: young fashionable females, and I don't think the mechandise will appeal to all of the local ladies.

It's three floors of high end designer products. I felt scruffy going in with my mates but the friendly staff made sure I felt welcome.

This is a rummage at best items are laid out by type (i.e. trousers, skirts, t-shirts etc) and by size. Yes some items are factory seconds but some aren't and if you find an item you like if there doesn't seem to be anything obviously wrong with it check it. Some imperfect items will have an imperfect label on the price tag but not always. Common flaws on the clothes sold: broken zips missing buttons loose threads seam not stitched pen marks Zips can be mended and if you need a replacement zip then go into one of the charity shops nearby as they stock zips from items that were too worn for sale and these are usually about 10p. Again the same with missing buttons. Loose threads can be cut and missing seams can be stitched. The pen marks is a common one and biro washes out. I managed to get Bench trousers for a fiver and a Ben Sherman top for £1. You have to be patient looking through this store and its always busy. There are a couple of changing rooms but these aren't that big. Word of advice about the jeans they sell, never take it for granted the size it says they are and what they actually are are the same. Some of the jeans they get are mislabeled so try things on or measure them. Staff are friendly and helpful. Brand names I've seen in this store are bench, Ben Sherman, Monsoon, M&S, Primark, TopShop, Levis and Lipsy and there are many more.

I've heard great things about this store, and have called in quite a few timesbut I just never see anything I like, but it's nice to browse! The Little Boutique stocks dresses mostly: colourful, sequinned, silk and satin, things that you'd wear for a party, a night out or a day at the races. All the extras and accessories are available with lots of jewellery and hair pieces all laid out on dressing tables. In all honesty, I do feel The Little Boutique is a little overpriced as the stock, while it may be handmade/designer/boutique/one-off, whatever, it can often appear a little, well, tacky, even dare I say tarty, perhaps that's a little harsh, as I say I like to browse here, and the staff are really genuine always saying hello and allowing you to look around freely.

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.

What I love most about this store though is it caters for every pocket. You can see why it has such a wide appeal.
