I like shopping here, they have a lot of things in my price range and dress size. It's a bit packed but not too bad and the dressing rooms are big enough. Not a trendy fashion shop, but something for most mums. read more

Huge department store right in the centre of town!…read more This Debenhams boasts a beauty and perfume department, large mens, womens and childrens clothing departments, as well a large homeware, electronics and toy department! Great for birthday or xmas shopping, you could easily have all your needs met in this one shop. There are easily accesable toilets and even a good, well priced cafe. Parking is close by, and staff are eager to be helpful. Can get busy near to xmas though!

I find it a bit of a chore to work my way around the store to find anything but at times I have found a good bargain. The store is generally clean and tidy, just has a lot in it. There is a large range of gifts, especially now in the run up to christmas but I would say they are a bit pricey. This is made easier by the fact that they seem to have a sale every other week.

Its a little bit smaller but just as lovely and they have some different stuff here from the one in Chichester so thats why i get tempted to visit both if i can. The prices are reasonable for the quality and the uniqueness. Some of the cheaper styles aren't so unique but i think you get what you pay for. I got my prom dress from Pushka and i know i had one of the most unique dresses there, as loads of girls went for the tacky princess look and regretted it when they saw my French corset dress. The staff are really helpful and friendly and if they don't have something in your size they try and get it for you. They also do bags and accessories, oh and i got some nice jeans recently.

This is a large Next store selling womens, mens and childrens clothes. As it is an outlet store it…read moresells last seasons goods that didn't sell elsewhere. That said you can pick up a good bargain here if you are willing to look hard. I find Next clothes very good for work and as such it doesn't matter as much if it isn't up to date fashions as blouses and suits change very little between seasons. The store is spacious and offers plenty of room for browsing. When there is not a sale on the prices are still good but the store is a lot more tidy. As in all Next stores when a sale is on you have to rummage hard to find what you want. Unfortunately there are no changing rooms in this store which means that you might have to gamble on something fitting you. However the staff are willing to exchange goods if you find an item does not fit when you get home.
H&M, easily the best value place on the highstreet right now to get smart, well made, decent…read moreclothes at good prices. 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.

Catering to women of all shapes and sizes (4-34) - there's a huge range of beautiful dresses, skirts, tops and accessories (and amazing shoes).

You can buy online too, and I'm already excited about trying on my latest package from VV. Go check them out - you won't regret it!

They always seem to have a sale on and a few bargains can be found. Their jewellery range is pretty extensive as is their shoe department.

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.

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!

There are changing rooms for you to try things on and the staff are usually very helpful and friendly.

I like next, some of their clothing is really good quality, plenty of items in stock this summer just gone, and no matter which store you go to in any city, it's always consistent really, offering the same throughout. This store is nice and large and offers all womens and mens range as well as little ones. Only thing i dont like, is the annoying catalogue person on the door asking you to join up and pay for a catalogue each time i go it, bin it next, and move on to the NEXT one!

I like the way it is laid out with the children's department on the ground floor with the womans wear.

The staff always seem to be working very hard to keep the cutomers happy and they are always very friendly and helpful.
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.
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.
