Quirkily appealing fashion and accessory boutique in a pretty side street - well worth the detour…read more I was lured-in by the funkily 'distressed'-looking (in a positive way) wooden clogs in the window. Available in a rich burgundy red or warm brown leather with interesting buckle detail, at £50. I also loved the cute accessories, particularly the leather 'flower' corsages. There's a strong element of bohemian hippy-chic here, although price tags are more designer than high street. The colour selection is warm, bright and happy; clothes are far from predictable but definitely the wearable side of quirky. It's a treasure trove for unusual detail and less mainstream looks.

They have everyhting you needs, lingerie and socks, suits and shoes, accessories, and both quirky bright and funky to smart casual clothing. The staff are bright and helpful, although sometimes the popular items sell out really quickly so they can't help with requests. The only real issue i have with this store is that the changing rooms can be packed full on busy daysbut i suppose that is to be expected by its popularity!

This is probably tied with Topshop and Jane Norman for the best place to buy clothes. The designs…read morehere are just as unique and sometimes the shapes are offbeat in a haute couture kind of way, but what sets it apart from the other two is the extremely low cost along with the high quality. Sadly, because of this a lot of the popular stuff sells out quick, and because this is a 100% allocation branch they rarely get stock back in once they sell out, as I used to work there and they have a huge stock room to house their one batch of a particular top/dress/jacket etc. The staff keep to themselves and don't bother you, which is nice, but they're too busy tidying up the constant piles of clothes strewn across the store. This is because the shop tends to cram out as much as they possibly can, which also makes for difficult browsing if you've already got a handful of stuff. Be wary of going on busy days, as the fitting rooms will be a distant possibility, and it's best to head for the children's area as the tills there don't tend to get too busy. Lastly, a good thing about the company is that they don't use sweatshop labour; if they find a young child working in a factory they will take them out and pay for their schooling. This is a nice thing to know in light of the low cost of the clothes, as many will think it's from exploitative labour. I'd recommend shopping here in general, but be prepared to hunt for some good bargains, especially during the sales.

This is an excellent branch of the nationwide clothing chain. It's quite a big, double-fronted…read morestore on in the centre of Chichester on East Street, fairly near the cross. Their women's clothing range is substantial and does change and get updated quite often, so there's always something new instore when you visit. They have also worked out who their customers are and stock something for all types, from students to older housewives via working women and young mums. This store also carries a sizeable children's range and a fair selection of men's clothing. It's definitely worth a visit as there really is something for everyone, and the service is excellent!

I found a dress I loved and said we would be back, as my other bridesmaid wasn't with me. We went back several weeks later, date of wedding was then set, they remembered me and the dress I liked. My bridesmaids pick out the dresses they like and they found sizes fir them to try, although not the colour, just to get the feel for fit. Helped me into my dress again, for the second bridesmaid to give her verdict. Was a goer, tried on some shoes to get the height right and ordered in a shorter length for me.we made a purchase that day, deposit was paid, am going back soon to pick these up and can thank them enough for their help.

Brilliant shop that sells ladies occasion ware. Based at the bottom of East Street opposite…read moreDebenhams, so parking is not great. All the dresses are laid out by colour, so if you know what colour you want this is ideal. Most of the girls in Southampton attending a ball or event will get dresses from here. The excellent thing about this shop though is that they will keep a list of all the girls buying dresses and the event they are attending so no two people at one event will have the same dress! Genius! Would also be good for bridesmaid dresses and it looks like they are opening a bridal shop next door!.

I really like New Look and i worked here back when i was 16 when it was in the high street…read more Since that point the quality and price is much better. What i like about New Look in general is that you can get everything you want in one shop. Clothes, shoes, underwear and accessories and now they have mens and baby clothes it has everything. The range is also casual all the way to formal and party wear. What i like about this particular New Look is that it is huge, clean and always has lots of stock. The staff on the whole are really friendly and will help you locate stock. Sizing is quite good and now they have a larger Inspire range it is even better.

Huge store - far better than the old one - and everything is now on one floor. Is well laid out…read morewith shoes at the back, and younger childrens clothes in a seperate section. The clothes themselves are fairly nice and very fashionable - not always sure about the quality though. It seems to be mainly aimed at teenagers and children although there is plenty there for the older woman, but have to be prepared to look. I love their shoes which I find really comfortable, and very reasonably priced - as well as being fashionable. The only thing that bugs me is that I keep being asked at the till whether I want a loyalty card - if I wanted one, I'd ask!

Primark is all of the things said in the above review!…read more However, whenever I have vistied this particular store it is like a jumble sale! ther are clothes all over the place and I can never stay in there long enough to find what I want, I get really annoyed! Having said that Primark is great, and other stores i've been in have been very good and much more organised!

I love love love primark!…read more This a fairly big store and has everything you need! The clothes are cheap as is the underwear and accessories. People often comment that the clothes are not good quality but almost everything i have bought has washed up well and i have worn time and time again. However if you do get the odd item that doesnt wash or wear well it is not a major loss because of the cheapness. I often buy my summer holiday wardrobe at Primark with t-shirts costing between £1.50 and £3 and shorts for about £5. Flip flops and bikinis are also amazing value. I am not overly keen on the ladies underwear but my partner wears the boxer shorts and the black socks for work. The only downside to this shop is the queue's and the fact that it sometimes resembles a jumble sale! The queue's are massive and sometimes snake around the clothes! I would recommed going 1st thing in the morning when it opens and midweek, never a weekend! The staff are always nice and will always go out to the stock room to look for stuff for you.

I have to say they were so helpful they resolved the issue and replaced dress with larger size with attention to every detail service we received was 100% plus can highly recommend the shop and team, you took away all the stress and upset that my niece and her mum were going through, thank you so much hope you continue to do well in the future it's well deserved. Fantastic service aftercare and value.
