Jill and her colleagues looked after me and all the outfits she selected for me were lovely, which made it hard to choose, but with all their help I feel I have a fantastic and exclusive dress, jacket and hat.

Mango sells almost runway clothing at 'normal' person prices and street wearing decency. If you're…read moreone for keeping an eye on haute couture fashion, but will never be able to afford the latest and greatest designers, then you may enjoy Mango and what it offers. As well as 'fashion' they do stock a rather more basic line that comes in year after year - think basic tees, polos, etc. Price-wise they're mid-range. During sales they have some really good stuff. This particular store is always neat and well staffed. Change rooms are also a good size, meaning you can twirl and strut to your hearts desire without feeling watched!

Mango is a very stylish store and by this I mean the stores interior, fixtures and fittings. It…read morealways looks clean and fresh making you want to visit their store. I mean even when they have a sale on and put those sale T-shirts on the manikins, they still look really stylish. The store is a decent size, infact it is rather large as are the fitting rooms which is always a plus. They sell a wide range of clothing and one item of clothing comes in many colours, they are good when they have a sale on but can be a little expensive if normal priced clothing.

Mairs are one of the exceptional stores on Soho Road for that Asian wedding and bridal attire…read more They always display the latest designs and the fashion you can't produce in the UK, they bring all the items over from all over Asia, which includes, India, Singapore and far out east. Popular, and occasionally you will find a great sale on, they also have some nice outfits for men. Certainly take friends and family with you on your visit here. Whatever colours you prefer they sell. I like how they speak lots of languages, and it's more convenient for my mothers generation who knows that she trusts what they're saying about their garments when she can speak to them in her own language. I'd recommend visiting the store, car parking is available nearby, and the shop is served with bus routes regularly from the city and West Bromwich. Quite busy on the weekends though.

This is one shop on Soho Road I like going to and just walking into the shop, I got a sense of…read morethere being a friendly atmosphere about the place. Despite the fact I have not brought anything from here, I have tried one or two sherwanis from Mairs. Just wearing them felt good and the only thing that prevented me from buying them was price. I did ask if they could reduce the price by a small amount but they couldn't. What I will say is that the staff here are very friendly and will help you if you need it. They will happily answer your questions and offer you advice. I did find some sherwanis had way too much embroidery but I guess there are Asians out there that like Indian suits with plenty of sequins/embroidery. If Mairs did lower their prices then maybe I would buy a sherwani from here. As well as Menswear, there are Asian Ladieswear on sale here as well.

Just happened to pop in on a Saturday afternoon and I bought 2 lovely dresses and held one back until pay day!! One of the dresses was a Myleenes Klass maxi dress which is gorgeous and the 2 other dresses are going to be great for summer time and my Holiday to Spain in a few weeks time. Once I was in the shop I kept on finding more and more things I liked. It's not old fashioned or smelly like I've read it's nice and clean and the changing room was a nice size to with good lighting. The lady was really lovely and helpful, nice to have one to one attention when it's sometimes hard to find something that suits you in say the normal high street stores. If I'm happy with the item and it fits really good then I don't mind paying a bit more as no one else will probably be wearing it. Very happy and look forward to seeing more as now I know the designers that suit my shape for once!!!!

After the party I washed the dress as label advised, and was horrified to see how the colour had run and ruined rest of my washing, The dress looked mess and I took it back to shop. The owner (same lady) refused to talk to me saying I must have washed my dress in bleach or in too high temperature, so as far as she was concerned ,,, no refund no replacement! She refused to give the detail of the supplier me contact, denied having any similar issues previously re items from her shop, which was rubbish as there is a review re incident from some one else! I pointed out that she should read reviews and perhaps Trading standards has been in touch with her already...? She denied again and I informed her that I will be taking this further and making a formal complaint to Trading Standards! The shop is tiny, the window display looks like some 5 years old has put together as the items hangs from the hangers, rude and arrogant shopkeeper!

I am not a make up buyer. I wear it only rarely myself, and haven't the faintest clue about how all…read morethe shading and colouring and stuff works. But Mum wanted make-up for her birthday - a very SPECIFIC make-up - and the younger sister does not drive, so I was sent off to House of Fraser. Entering, it looked very formidable. Lots and lots of stands, all selling different brands. I wandered, feeling rather intimidated, until I finally plucked up the courage to ask someone wear almost makeup was. They weren't sure, and a quick consult took place before she directed me towards the Clinique stall. The lady at the Clinique stall was nothing less than wonderful with my inept flailings. Different products were explained, and when all I could remember about shades was that a 3 and an 8 might have been involved, she patiently did a Well, is your mum's skin darker than yours? Darker than mine? until we had the right stuff. Thank you, Clinique lady, for being patient when you likely wanted to strangle me. I ended up with three make up items for £44. That would have been a price to whimper at, except they were doing an offer which meant I also got a huge bag of samples (really, HUGE) and some body lotion and hand stuff. That is, apparently, why the younger sister ordered me to go - they do do good free gifts. I can't say I'd go again for ME, because it looked far too girly a shop, but for gifts certainly, and the customer service in there was absolutely great.
