It's the same style as Mango or Zara and other Spanish chains but more expensive and better made. They have lots of beautiful suede jackets, cashmere jumpers and leather shoes.

On finally getting to speak with the manager she checked the top, interrogated me as to how I had washed it, checked the washing instructions and then told me "she would accept it as defective". I pointed out that it was in fact defective! She then refused me a refund as I did not haves receipt. Then she shouted over me that this was store policy!! Outrageous behaviour and illegal. No decency for customers whatsoever. When I complained I was offered a London number to Call.When I finally dig out a receipt on visa she resentful refunded me. Rude, obnoxious service.

The only problem is that you probably wont be the only one with that idea, so chances are someone will show up the wedding/christening/engagement party in the same dress. Cringe! Or worse still, the bridesmaid could all be wearing your same outfit. Don't get me wrong - the dresses are lovely, quite pretty and conservative, but still very stylish and well fitted. Pretty pricey though - a dress would cost you about €200.

This particular store, however, is laid out well, with plenty of space between each item and the collection at the moment includes some key pieces that don't look "typically Monsoon" i.e. voluminous skirts and 1950s bustier dresses. There's a nice jewellery and sleepwear section as well.

My mother dragged me out of bed on Saturday morning to come here... ok when I say dragged me out of…read morebed, she rang me at 10am telling me how she'd been in here earlier on in the week and they'd put aside a dress for an upcoming family wedding for her until today and she wasn't sure about it, and so eventually I offered to get out of bed and go there with her - you know how it is with mothers, they're cunning like that! Anyway we went along and she tried on the dress, and it was so 'meh' that I almost fainted when I saw the pricetag! But she had picked out a lovely jacket. The thing about this shop is they have quite good pieces for a woman of a certain age, but the shop assistants will simply tell you everything is lovely, even though it might not be. I simply took over a got all bossy and picked out a new outfit for my mother that made her feel fabulous - and I could tell the shop assistants hated me for it! They were totally devoid of advice in general. I saw other women there with the same dilemma as my mother and they simply said 'that's lovely' instead of making alternative suggestions and actually finding something that suited the person... I really had to hold myself back from finding outfits for these other women. The clothes in this shop are simply too expensive to be just ok. if you're going to drop 400 euro on an outfit it should make you feel amazing (in my book anything over 50 quid should make you feel amazing!!). And there's too many women, particularly over a certain size, who are unnerved by this type of fashion, but need something for a family event, and will pay this kind of money for something that's just ok. I reckon this shop could do amazing business if it just stepped up and got assistants who were better at advising and styling.

If you've gone to Dundrum recently, you have most likely passed the retail shop Mexx. As I'm the…read morefirst to review it, it seems that not many of us actually go in. That's quite understandable. Can't say that the window display is particularly grabbing (the manikins weren't even wearing any clothes last time I was here). Inside you'll find semi-casual/semi-formal clothing, mostly for women, with the typical shirts, jackets, skirts, sweaters etc. Of course it's a matter of personal style, but the clothes here do very little for me. It's simple and feminine, but just nothing special. They do have some nice skinny jeans, plain cardigans that are always handy to have in the wardrobe and some basic blazers, but I'd rather spend just a tiny bit extra and get a jacket that stands out.

I was in there recently and tried on a dress that I quite liked, however the mirrors do not allow you to see a rear view so I thought I'd buy and take home to try with shoes etc. I didn't ask the returns policy as I assumed (silly me) that the refund terms would be the standard of most high street shops, when I got home and looked at the receipt I realised there were no refunds! (A bit of a shock as the very simple dress was €139 and not suitable in the end, and yes I should have checked with the store before buying) I called the store to query and was told that there was a sign by the cash register informing customers of this. (I don't believe this is fair and what can they say to the blind community?) My opinion is that the shop worker should also inform verbally as they do in boutique stores. I have no choice to accept a credit note but maybe this review will warn other people to think twice before purchasing from Mexx.
