Make sure you join their mailing list as they regularly send offers for 20% off and invite you along to special evenings where they decorate the shop, provide free drinks and give you a discount! The last one I went to was a hawaiian theme! The staff dressed up and there were inflatable palm trees everywhere! While I was waiting to pay I helped myself to free fairy cakes and they gave me a goodie bag! Can't ask for much more.

I love Coast clothes and I was delighted to find that they have their own shop, after only ever…read moreknowing about them from Debenhams. My first ball gown was by Coast, and is still one of my favourites (well, you can never have too many ball gowns now can you?!). I find the sizes are a bit 'off' - maybe it's because I'm bigger below than on top, but I find my dress doesn't stay up very well despite being the size I normally wear. Still, it came with a detachable halterneck strap - all situations covered. The quality is excellent - I've had it several years now without problems. The only downside is that everything is so expensive! I would love to own so many things in here, but I really can't justify it. Definitely worth checking out during the sales, but it's worth getting there quickly, as I'm sure they're popular!

Coast is a beautiful store, which sells some truly stunning clothes. They specialise in dresses,…read morebut also sell two piece outfits. There dresses are of superb quality, and really well made. The designs are original and the cut of the fabric is really good. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and will always offer advice on what styles and colours best suit you. They stock a good range of matching accessories- everything you could need from coats and cardigans to handbags and earrings! The dresses themselves are breathtaking. I've bought several from Coast for balls and parties, and have never received so many compliments about my outfit! I felt like a princess! I really cannot recommend this shop highly enough. The clothes are expensive- a dress can cost between £120-£200, but they are absolutely worth it. The perfect place if you are looking for a special outfit for a ball or a wedding.

The clothing is stylish and colourful and seems to be very good quality and seems to last, well at least for as long as the fashion trend lasts anyway. And their pricing is very competitive, primarily to aim for that younger market. I can go in this particularly large store here, allow may daughters to buy something and still come away with change from £10.

I love New Look and think most women say the same thing!! This is a reasonably large one with…read moreplenty of choice and quite easy to get lost/confused where you started! There are smart/work clothes to the left at the front which have a good selection of clothes ideal for work. Also a 16+ section, a 16years under section for teenagers/younger crowds and a underwear and shoe section so something for everyone really! As you may be aware the prices are very affordable which usually makes me buy more! The only problem is the quality is pretty bad and in turn it means you may have to throw some away not long after purchase.

They stock a few brands of jewellery, each with its own distinct style. My favourite is We Love Chichi, which is always very colourful and crystally. I particularly love their charm bracelets. You can buy all sorts of accessories from bags to belts, and a range of hats suitable for any wedding! It's all quite upmarket, but the prices range, so even an impoverished student should be able to find something. And if you don't, take the time to browse round the art upstairs and enjoy yourself!

They sell gorgeous coats, dresses, skirts and tops, particularly for smart occasions.

They stock men and ladies clothes, the ladies clothes tend to be too party like flocks and not really that suitable to wear for dressing down, but I guess its the trendy thing so everything seems to be very tight or long or glittery.
