On the instructions of my dress maker I was told to avoid any fancy lingerie for under my wedding…read moredress - she said instead 'Get yourself a good, sturdy flesh coloured job to hold yourself in' I took her word for it and got just that out of Debenhams but am now freaking out that that particular bra might not be 'the one' for the honeymoon - if ye know what I mean - nudge nudge, wink wink! Roxbury and McQueen is the only Lingerie shop I have been in that really feels exclusive. The underwear is all displayed beautifully and the girl who works there is so helpful. I had a look at the bridal basques and bras and the like but they are way over my price range. She does have little frilly satin knickers for sale which can have anything you want stitched on the bum - They take a few weeks and cost £69.00 with Mrs whatever or £59 if it's 'just married' on the bottom. I might splash out on these. The shop also sells really cool tights with designs and print on them, I have never seen these around Belfast before and will be sure to be telling my cool mate who would love them. I really liked my experience in this shop and I wish I could afford some of the lovely bits, don't get me wrong they are not extortionate by any means just over my budget. If you are looking for nice friendly service, a lovely boutique feeling and a gorgeous underwear set then go here.

Now I must admit it isn't the range of prices I would pay personally (£45 for a bit of ...'string'...no thanks) but if you're after some special lingerie, or if you are prepared to splash the cash (I was sorely tempted, the range is just beautiful!) then I would recommend taking a look in here at least. They had some pieces on sale which brought the price down quite reasonably. Orchid stock an impressive number of high quality brands as well as stunning, well crafted and exclusive pieces of lingerie. In particular a number of beautiful pieces caught my eyes; the Marie Jo and Verde Veronica sets were so incredibly sexy. This shop would be ideal if you're looking to buy a special piece of nightwear or even treat yourself to some sexy holiday swimwear. Orchid sell; lingerie, bridal wear, specialist bras, nightwear, swimwear, hosiery and a range of toiletries (perfume, Crabtree & Evelyn moisturiser, skin care, bath and body products.) Perfect for that special occasion.

It's all well and good walking past it once or twice and catching a quick glimpse before taking out a bottle of holy water and pouring it in your eyes. But if we are to be serious for like a few paragraphs and forget the fact you can buy inflatable dolls and moving body parts, I can provide a decent (and indecent) review. The shop is situated right on the main street. It's hard to miss. It's big and purple and is the only thing on the entire street with a bit of colour. So your eyes are drawn immediately to the bright colours. Aren't they? The purpose of the shop, as you may or may not know... Kids! I told you to go outside and play!... The purpose is to provide toys and gifts that adults can play with but if a child was to discover, it can lead to awkwardness and an elaborate lie which they will tell their friends at school and can lead to a dreadful situation when the police get called. The things inside this shop are, as far as I am aware, only available in one other shop in Belfast but I'm sure if you were to ask nicely then most shops have them under the counter... I have called in before, as have many other people, but I am going to be a man/idiot about it and admit it. The things inside are there to provide a... erm... service, but what is most impressive is that the staff have absolutely no aversion to anything they are stocking (pun) out, whether it needs batteries or whether it comes complete with a matching whip. That in itself makes a potentially embarrassing trip into a more or less embarrassing trip, depending on what sort of help you want. The shop is obviously tailored to suit women, and for that reason it is rare you see any man walking in on his own and coming out with a bag full. It is an experience in itself, but if you are a group of girls, this would make day out. Kids, come back in now. And put those stones.

The bras are not that great quality and very expensive and lack in decent back sizes and their replay to that was to wear an extender....urm why would I pay £25+ for a bra and have to wear an extender???? I went in and tried on a slip and the cup in it was awful it made my breasts look weird. Then I saw the crotchless kickers at £10 and thought to myself hold on all I need to do is go to primark and buy a nice pair of knicker and cut out the crotch part and I have the same thing for fraction of the price. And their bondage and costume section up stairs was very over priced!!! £20+ for a horse whip type thing or a paddle urm I could go get one of ebay for less and the paddle a wooden kids cricket bat and spray paint it (I actually tried that to see if I could make it for less and I made it for less than £10 maybe even less than £5!) Though they are open minded and allow cd/tg into their shop and to try on and buy. And I think their toys might be a fraction cheaper than the usual sex shops. But still very pricy and I'd rather do without that buzz. than pay £50+ And I think some of their knickers and costumes go up to a uk ladies 24/26 I'm not sure. Overall I wouldn't recommend this shop to a friend because it's too pricey, and the stock isn't great.

First impressions was that it was quite a small store but very well laid out. Everything was neat and tidy and the staff were cheerful and pleasant. I noted as well that below the displayed items, there were drawers that had the different sizes places in order. My wife found this quite convenient, rather than constant hunting through to find the appropriate size. I have been told from the good lady wife that the changing rooms have a button inside to change the lighting from day, to dusk, to night. I'm sure this must be an essential thing when choosing underwear!

However, as SD Kells is a well-known family brand, I felt inclined even to go in and take a look. The suits are terrific in that you know if you buy one, you will (a) look good and (b) will save it for only the most special occasion. As the SD Kells at home is famed for selling school uniforms, it was nice for me to go into a grown-up SD Kells which doesn't have my horrible blazer advertised in the window. Although the clothes in this shop are very nice, (even the casual things are really good which for a dressy shop is quite surprising) but they are really pricey and at £200 a suit, it is not the sort of place you would go to to get suits for work. It is really expensive. If you are looking for a particularly nice suit, this should be the first stop on your journey. You are bound to find something to "suit" you (I apologise)

When my sister and I took a peek at these exquisite dresses, her cries of "oooh" and "ahhh" reflected the level of wonderment at such lovely garments, and for me, this is what really makes Atelier. The girl who was 'on duty', so to speak, was lovely and helpful, and didn't mind us hunting through the rails. Even if you go just to window shop, definitely pay this lovely wee place a visit.

Atelier - (for those who -like me - didn't know, this is defined as 'an artists studio or workroom'…read moreI didn't think much of this name until I discovered this!) Stop press! Wow! Wow! Wow! How have I never known of this shop before? It's so elegant and beautiful. There are three lovely girls who work in the shop and they design all the items they sell. Lizzie makes the dresses, Ursula makes the accessories, handbags and head wear, then the other (I'm so sorry I've forgotten her name, I'll repost it) creates the jewellery. This whole process just makes me smile. I love it! I will definitely be back here. It's such a little gem of a shop hidden away in this arcade. The store is beautifully laid out and they sell some amazing items (see 'The Good Book' a hollowed out book with a mini flask hidden inside!) The dress maker, Lizzie Agnew, is famous by name. Her dresses have featured in Tatler, The Wedding Journal, and The Guardian. She creates beautiful vintage inspired silk gowns designed and made to order. I've seen some of these both in the shop and on her website and OH WOW! If I ever have the funds/occasion/need to get a tailor made dress it will be here. They're simply heavenly!
