This almost put me off going in (being neither mature, nor particularly large), until I saw the rack of short skirts and colourful summer dresses. Don't be fooled! Marjays caters for women of all ages and sizes, and is very well priced. I was impressed by how much variety they have, from fuller figure designs to petite articles. Many of their designs would flatter larger women, whether tall or short, as nothing is too clingy, and the materials used are bright and airy. The skirts however look great on a standard size 12, so I walked out with one, and for only $10! I couldn't leave it there. I tried a few dresses as well, however, what would be flattering on a larger women was a rather shapeless bundle of material on an average one. I did enjoy the fact that it had pockets though. If you can find him, the store owner is lovely. He seems to spend most of his time out in the centre, socialising with other shop workers. I thought this was quite endearing. I did however have to find him to buy the skirt. When my mother is next in town, I'll be bringing her here to update her summer dress range. (Oh dear, did I just imply that she's "fuller figured"? Whoops! Really, she's not, I just like the shop!)

Okay, so they sell other, less hippie stuff, including some gorgeous summery dresses (though they're still pretty loose and floaty), along with long skirts and large summer shirts. There are quite a few dresses to appeal to younger women here, however I think the store mostly caters for older women. There is a very conservative few racks in the middle of the shop, covered in jeans and plain t-shirts. I think this is the staple product of the store, then the owner just has fun with the rest of it. It's a great store to look through, as it's filled with a whole range of contrasting stuff. And it's on the way to the ice cream shop next door.

I walked in and soon realised that most items were one-off pieces, even better I thought! There were cute, pretty earrings and other accessories which caught my eye. Looking around at the price tags shorts and skirts were around $40-$60 (not too bad), and dresses were around $100. The clothing sold here is for young women who like bright, dressy-casual pieces. If you are looking for a warm welcome and some assistance, you might struggle; the shop assistant looked at me twice and didn't smile or say hello. The shop could also use some music to add a bit of atmosphere. Although I have given this shop a 4/5, I would give the service about a 2/5.

I had quite a different experience to Jessica in relation to customer service. I found that the…read moreyoung shop assistant was very friendly, she immediately greeted me when I walked in and asked me after an appropriate amount of time if I needed any help. The shop window looks fairly nice and the overall of the store itself makes you think they sell cute but decent dresses, skirts and shirts. This is only partly true because a lot of the items are actually quite extravagant and very colourful. I didn't really find anything in there that stood out but saw a few nice dresses. Most clothes come in one size only and you'll find a lot of going-out dresses, not much that is very daytime-oriented or casual. Good for a browse though, and with most items ranging from $20-$100 it's reasonably priced.

The Norwood store is bigger than all of them but it's the only one I've ever been really disappointed with. So so so so so freaking rude. The clothes in Witchery are always contemporary, clean and stock great prints, shoes, bags, accessories and a whole new range of children's clothes and men's clothes. It is quite an expensive place (many tops are in excess of $80) but the quality is good and the sizes seem to be able to fit most people both petite and larger. The girl in the last review was talking about her petite size. I am quite the opposite and I really struggle to find a place where the L or the 14 fits me properly. So I can feel comfortable there. Let me take you back to my birthday. I had the day off of work and I had a party that night. I thought I'd treat myself to buying a new outfit from my favourite shop. Sales were on (Witchery always seem to have good sales) and the Norwood Witchery was my first stop because of their big range. During the day, there were not many people in there but the shop was quite messy probably due to the craziness of the good sales. I found a few things to try on but had a question to ask the lady at the counter about a particular size. I stood there and waited while she stood there popping display boxes open and talking to her friend about the weekend she just had. She looked me in the eye three times but kept going. When her friend left, she just looked down and kept going. I had to ask her to help me, but she wasn't willing to leave her box popping. She then asked the other lady to help me. She looked disgruntled to do it and refused to call another store for me. I left feeling about an inch tall and went to Witchery Burnside where the people were lovely and I bought a brilliant top. I'm not a complainer - it's not what I do, but I have never been treated so badly like I shouldn't be in a store. Please don't let it distract from how great the other Witchery stores are - I've only ever been helped.

Witchery at Norwood is different from the Rundle Mall store in two ways:…read more1. The service is friendlier 2. They actually stock my size So every time I come into the Rundle Mall store, all the XS and size 6s are gone. All the 35s in shoes are gone. Basically I'm just looking around at everything I like, wishing I could buy something, anything. But nothing fits. *cries* When you're petite, life is hard. Life is a struggle. Life is full of dilemmas. "Should I buy this now, or wait til it goes on sale? But what if they sell out of my size?" Many a time I have bought something for the full price, the next minute it goes on sale and there's about 5 remaining in my size. Ouch. Other times, I've waited til it goes on sale and they run out of my size. See what I meeeeean! So anyway, Witchery at Norwood is good for me. I don't know whether they stock more of my size, or whether they're just a quieter store so my size doesn't run out as quickly. Either way, I can shop in peace.

I probably shouldn't be telling you about it because I want to keep it all to myself. For those who love rummaging for one off pieces no one else will be wearing (read: me), it's a cosy downstairs oasis of awesomeness. Owned by a mother / daughter duo (naww!), it's a well-curated selection of labels that are otherwise hard to find in Adelaide: like fashionista faves Limedrop, Maise and MyPetSquare to name a few. They also stock suitably kitsch objects, a smattering of retro records as well as handmade and local goodies (think candles, jewellery, shoes...). They usually have pretty sweet tunes on in the store too (it's named after a Bob Dylan track, after all). And let's not forget the preloved treats too. The selection isn't huge, but it *is* often on sale, so you can nab yourself a pair of patterned pants for summer at a pretty reasonable price. Definitely worth checking out for when you want that one off addition to the wardrobe.

Clothes Line Saga oozes quirky personality along a very commercial street. Its charm starts at the…read morefront door, with the little signs that say "This is a nice shop." In terms of their clothes, I've never found anything that really caught me. Truth be told, I am much more an op-shopper and less a 'vintage store' shopper, as I invariably find that they clothing is over-priced. However, if you're really looking for retro, they have a great selection of true 70s and 80s fashion. If you want to get a sense of what is fashionably retro, you can get it here. Bold, horrendous floral prints, stretch materials, high waists and short short skirts there are plenty of. However, in terms of slightly more original oddities, they don't have a lot that really catches my interest. However, as a specialty store, they have their niche worked out and they do it well. Their clothing-filled basement has a fantastic atmosphere, and even if the clothes aren't your thing, it's always an interesting place to browse.

Witchery at The Metro Shopping Centre is close by for me and I'm a frequent visitor - too frequent in fact. This is actually quite a small store and on occasion I have been disappointed that something I've seen in one of the larger stores isn't available here but I do like the service on offer as the staff are always friendly and very helpful. Being a small store I'm not too happy about the fact that much of the shop space has been overtaken by their range of Witchery Kids clothing. Leave more room for the big girl clothes I say! While I'm sure there are plenty of mums who love to dress their kids as mini versions of themselves, I'm not one of them and am a firm believer that kids should be dressed in play clothes that are sturdier and harder wearing, not in high priced fashion togs so they have to sit and behave like mini adults. Nevertheless I'm told the Witchery Kids fashion range is going great guns and the stock is walking out the door. I'm just glad this particular store doesn't stock the recently released Witchery Man as well - I don't want to have to compete with them too for space in the shop. It sounds like I may have written a negative review here but that's not the intention. Witchery at The Metro is actually one of my favourite fashion stores. Love the clothes, love the markdowns, love the staff.

Also, if you like putting your kids in a fashionable little get up, then they have a lot of their kids fashion range here, and it's all very cute.

This cotton on is HUGE…read more My jaw dropped when I first saw it and it hit the floor when I walked in. you may not be aware but Rubi Shoes is a division of cotton on, so one section of this store is dedicated to shoes. Another section is dedicated to accessories and there are wall to wall clothes catering to guys, gals and kids for your browsing pleasure. If I'm in shopping mode, I can spend a good hour in here, happily sifting through shoes and pretty dresses while contemplating if buying another pair of wedge heels really is a bit obnoxious. The guys section is nearly as big as the girls, so your partner doesn't have to stand there awkwardly while you revel in the good feeling that is accessories, and he wont come back for a while (hopefully). I guarantee you wont leave here without a new something or other, so if you are trying to curb your spending, don't even walk past because the colourful television set display is the first thing you wont say no to.

Like Elissa says this store is massive and has everything from your usual fashion items to shoes, pyjamas underwear and even swimwear and caters for the whole family. It is a great place to shop for you basic items like singlets and shorts. Most of the cotton dresses are very prone to creasing so you are better off buying something with a bit of lycra in it. If you are buying dresses I suggest the more T shirt style that you can just throw over a pair of bathers in summer. Their pyjamas are really good and the quality is there. We came away with some great summer pyjamas and a cute swing singlet. Considering the store is huge and the range is definitely on the cheaper side, they have done a really good fit out that doesn't feel cheap unlike some of the other competitors in the market.
