In my dreams, I own a shop like this. And I show up for work every day looking like Cameron Diaz at…read morethe Oscars and sit all day inside, looking gorgeous and being fabulous. This shop makes you want to be fabulous - I swear even if you were a twenty ton heifer who looks like the back end of a bus and is a firearm enthusiast - you would feel girly and giggly in here. It's NOT cheap, and its got every pretty thing you could imagine, the clothes and accessories are lovely. I've yet to actually purchase anything in here because for one - the clothes don't fit me (story of my life!) and two, I can't justify the money. If you have a credit card that you don't mind splurging on - pop in here to give it a good work out in girly gorgeous glamorous heaven.

I visited the shop to return…read morefor exchange unsuitable items but it had already closed up (an hour early based on the closing hours posted in the window) and its now refuse to accept items for exchange. I am not even looking for a refund even though I have my full receipt. I feel this is poor service and mistreatment. I've also had to follow up directly and seem to only get excuses -so far, I have been told that: 1 the hours visible in their window were incorrect; 2 I couldn't have been at the shop at the time I claim as it clashes with the customer advisor's own recollection (I fear they are unable/unwilling to tell the truth); 3 exchanges had to be rejected because of the work their accountant has been undertaking-that in and of itself is a concerning excuse to give any customer; and 4 my call hadn't been return because a customer advisor had been off work. So disappointed in the treatment received and what appears to be an inflexible application of a policy around Christmas returns-Christmas presents had to be dealt with by 31 Dec and I found the shop closed early on that day leaving me high and dry. I have attempted to have this dealt with by the shop directly with a visit, follow up calls and two separate emails (neither of which they have had the courtesy to reply to) and wish to advise others of my experience.

Step in to this this lovely little lingerie shop and you can feast your eyes upon a stunning range…read moreof underwear in every shape, size, colour, style and fabric imaginable. 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.

I'd never noticed this shop before. Anytime I had walked down Bedford Street, it was always with a…read moreview to go into town and not to look at the shops along the way. 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)

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!
