Margarets fancy dress shop is situated just on the outskirts of Mansfield town centre and has easy…read moreparking outside. The shop itself is great, the lady who owns it is really friendly and helpful, and they have tons of books with different fancy dress outfits in for you to browse through. There are also lots of outfits on display for you look through and try on. The quality of the outfits are quite good aswell, the ones that I saw didn't look cheap and the cost of hiring them is quite reasonable too. They have a decent size changing room with plenty of space and a huge full length mirror. I would definitely recommend a look in there if you are searching for that perfect fancy dress outfit.

Just awful, I am in tears after dealing with this shop. I have depression and can be a bit…read moreindecisive. I placed an order, then asked to cancel it. I then wrote another email asking them to ignore my last email, I still wanted the order. They still cancelled it. They said they didn't get my other email. No apology, I was always the one apologising. I said sorry for the confusion but I still wanted the order. The manner of the person I spoke with was extremely rude and unhelpful the entire conversation. They then accused me of wasting their time and money and refused to send me the dress or talk to me anymore. I have just got off the phone to a suicide line as dealing with this store was the last straw for me. They don't deserve a sale.

This shop is fab, and one of my favourites! They have lots of unusual makes and styles, so if…read moreyou're one of those people who doesn't like to wear what everyone else does, then this is a good place to try. I can always find something I like. They also have a lovely big sofa for the men and kids to pass the time whilst they're waiting, if you're unfortunate enough to have them along with you! The ladies who work in there are very friendly and can't do enough to help. Well worth a visit.

Although this is a great shop and the choice of cards is fabulous I do think they are very…read moreexpensive with most cards being around £2.00 mark.

I never thought I'd say I own a pair of comfortable stilettos but thanks to Next, I do! The handbags are gorgeous, too. At the back there is a children and baby department and upstairs is menswear. There is also a small selection of gifts available.

I do find Next to be very overtrated and quite expensive. They do have a good range of womens, mens…read moreand childrens clothes. The accessories are pretty good but again are not cheap.

Haze is one of the premier alternative/emo/hippy shops in Derby and has a wide range of stock if…read moreyou are into this type of thing due to the large shop size. The staff are friendly and helpful and into the same thing as the customers and also look around the same target group. The shop is easy to find and is right in the centre opposite a subway, opposite the old debenhams. It usually smells like incense sticks, which is nice but i always feel a little light headed after visiting. The clothing can be expensive in comparison to prices on the internet but i suppose it is the same with all branded products. Recently the popularity of this shop has gone down because it does not cater for enough niches.

I actually don't like this Forbidden Planet store as much as the Derby one and this is due to the…read moresize of this one in comparison to the size of the Derby one. This shop is very small, cramped and does not have as much stock as the Derby forbidden planet. It is still a great store for all your comic, game, sci-fi and action figure needs. They seem to have a good selection and the prices are the same as the other forbidden planet (slightly expensive). This forbidden planet also seems quite dark as well and does not have as many staff as the Derby store. A great thing about this forbidden planet is that they do have some great events on, which i am told are very popular. They include signings, meetups and contests. The Derby forbidden planet does not get these kind of things which is a shame.

This store is one of the best vintage clothing stores around and it seems quite popular with a particular scene. I really enjoy visiting for fashion inspiration mostly. I do not usually buy things from here because they are way too over priced but are usually in great condition. They also sell new clothing and accessories too which is very appealing. The staff are not generally chatty but seem friendly to talk to if you purchase something. I found something i had been looking for, for a while quite recently and i was very surprised they had it.
